Countdown & Pre-Challenge Activity #3: 🍽️Meal Plan🍽️

Grannysue91 · January 1

My meal planning - I was doing the pre-diabetic diet and I got my weight down and I am no longer on meds and my A1c is 5.8 which is still in the good area. I think I will stick to following this diet as I was doing so well on it. My weaknesses are sweet and salty foods. Try to do my best to keep away from these. Will eat more fruits and veggies as I love them all.

I will also try to be good and stay out of jail because I am gaining weight from eating all of that PB!!

Meal Plans:

My meal plan may change, but ultimately it will be to work my with Bariatric Center doctor to get the weight off safely. No surgery just medical weight loss. Meaning they are going to have me see a nutritionist and a dietician to learn all I can about food and then work my macros to the right levels that will cause me to lose weight effectively and keep it off.

My meal plan:

Mediterranean/WFPB Diet:
*Plant foods-based: vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts, beans, and whole grains
*Moderate poultry, eggs, seafood
*Rare or no red meat or dairy (Med diet says you can have moderate dairy, but it doesn't agree with me and/or I go overboard)
*No processed foods
*Olive oil and healthy fats (like avocados and fatty fish) encouraged

Giving myself 3 cheat ingredients per day if needed; 1 cheat day per week for special occasions or a break if needed.

64 oz. water per day.

Intermittent Fasting: 12-8 p.m. eating window.

Each meal includes 1/2 vegetables/fruits, 1/4 whole grains, 1/4 protein and a glass of water.

My Meal Plan:
Track Everything, Stay Within Calorie Range, Balance Macros and Drink 80oz Water.
Never Deprive. Nothing Off Limits... all things in moderation.

@Grannysue91 No need to be good... Rumor has it that pb will be limited to one spoonful daily and more freggies will be served in the PS4L Lion County Jail in 2024

Following the principles of the Whole Body Reset plan, I will
*aim for 25-30 g protein per meal (90g per day), minimum of 5 g fibre per meal (25-30 g per day), 2 g fibre/5 g protein per snack
* 5 freggies/day
* aim to achieve calorie target daily (+/- 50)

Continue to work on 20 minute meals at least 2x daily, pay attention to satiety, eat only when hungry, especially in the evening.

My meal plan is pretty basic and simple and appears to work except for fats/sugars.

Continue to eat balanced meals, carbs, proteins, and fats. Follow my existing menu each week, which isn't very exciting but gives me the nutrients I need. Continue to track my food daily; it works if you are accurate, which I try to be.

Cut the sugar, PERIOD. That is the only thing that messes up my daily caloric intake.

When socializing, if you have liquor (I don't drink that much) and snacks, balance the caloric intake with the rest of the week. I don't socialize too much, unfortunately. LOL

If I go out to eat, just eat half the meal, eat the rest the following day.

My meal plan is a combination of Keto and Mediterranean. There is a book about this combination if you're interested in finding out more.

@lavalily ~ Would love the name of the book. If you haven't gotten back to give the name, please do!!
