When coaching we tell people to make sure their meal consists of a lean protein, veggie, and good carb, but you can go beyond chicken, green beans, and sweet potato for every meal! I have a huge cookbook of recipes now that I've gotten off of different websites, from friends, or just my own creations that consists of these things but are much more adventurous. The key is to PREPARE!! I like to tell my new cleansers to plan out their week worth of meals and prep ahead of time. That way there's no thinking or second guessing. It also helps ensure that you aren't going to the pantry and fridge looking for a "quick fix" for your hunger which will very likely be a bad food choice. Keep your meals within 400-600 calories, but don't close yourself in the box of chicken, veggie, carb!
www.myfitnesspal.com is a website that I love to recommend! Not only can you track all of your calories, (which I highly recommend new cleansers do) but you can actually input a recipe and the serving size and it will break down the calorie and nutritional content in it for you!! They also have a large database of food that includes Isagenix in it!!
I find that prepping on Sunday for the week is a easy way to do it. This week I've prepped salads in a jar for both the husband and I. All we have to do is reach in the fridge for a healthy meal already put together, dump it in a bowl, and enjoy! Doesn't get any simpler, or healthier for that matter! Here is tutorial for a salad in a jar.
You can get creative with your salad. I always add meat to mine to up the calories and also make sure I have a lean protein in there. I put my meat on layer 3, right on the dressing. This week I made taco, Greek, and caprese salads.
During the 60 day challenge I will be sharing some recipes with you to help you explore healthy and very yummy eating! Healthy doesn't mean boring!!
