Ok, before I get started, I just have to say, never in my life did I think I could ever get back to this weight! I haven't been at these numbers since midway through high school! I can't believe it; hcg and 1Body4Life are literally changing my life. I am feeling so good! I've been a bit hungrier as of late due to my excess in activity, so we've decided to bump my calories for a little while until things slow down.
So remember how I said I can't find a lot of kosher meat, and I have to use other options? Well, I found a list in one of the books at 1Body4Life that gives good alternatives for vegetarians. What is included in that list? Certain veggie burgers by MorningStar Farms and protein powder! I therefore went and bought both, and we will see how they work! I'm going to use protein powder every day as my first protein, and then my second will be either fish, eggs, or veggie patties! I still have a few pieces of chicken left though, so I am finishing those up as well.
Breakfast - smoothie! 10 strawberries, a bit of Walden Farms blueberry syrup, 1/2 cup of fat free yogurt, and some ice all put into a blender, and voila! (keep in mind this is the protein and fruit from lunch)
Lunch - 2 cups of lettuce with a balsamic vinegar and mustard dressing, and two garlic melba toasts (the garlic ones are half the size of the plain, so two is about equal to one plain)
Snack - Apple
Snack - 1 MorningStar Farms Tomato and Basil Pizza Burger
Dinner - 3.5 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast with sauteed spinach and onions (2 cups baby spinach, 1/2 an onion)
Water - 64 oz
Sleep - 8.5 hours
My dinner recipe was delicious! Take a couple cloves of garlic and mince them, add them to the heated coconut oil and sautee for about a minute. If you are on a boosted calorie diet, you can use the extra vegetable you are allowed and put the onion in as well, if you are only on 500 calories, don't add the onion. Then add the spinach and coat evenly in the oil. Add any desired spices, cover, and let cook for a couple minutes. Then you have a delicious veggie to add to the chicken!!
