dial it in

Ok FnFers, I have asked you to track your diet, to write down everything you eat and drink for one week.  When I return, I would like to review your food logs and give some more personalized input to each of you.

For now we will start with this: Sugar is bad for you.  Its intake should be limited.  Sugar intake leads to high blood sugar levels which drive everything from Type II diabetes to High Cholestorol. For a more detailed explanation that is still easy to understand read this post.

Don't everyone freak out at once. We will ease our way into this. Pick one meal to clean up.  The easiest way to do this is picture your plate. It should be one third lean meat or fish and two thirds veggies. So for the next week your goal is to eat clean at one meal a day. I recommed picking one meal and sticking with that one for the week.  Below are some easy suggestions to get you started

Easy Breakfast:  Egg White Omlette
                            Heat non-stick pan on medium heat
                           1 cup egg whites
                           Splash of heavy cream, whisk these two ingredients together with a little garlic powder.
                          Spray an omlette pan with cooking spray add egg mixture
                          One slice lowfat american cheese
                          last nights left over veggies, place these two ingredients on top of egg mixture once it is set and fold in half, cook for another 1-2 min


Easy Lunch:  Garden Salad
                      2 cups Shredded lettuce
                      handful of cherry tomatotes, halved
                      half a cucumber, sliced
                      Four slices of low salt deli turkey (boars head or other high quality meat)
                     Oil and Vinegar

Easy Dinner: Grilled Chicken
                      Same salad as lunch hold the meat
                      Marinate chicken breast in seven seas italian dressing for 3 hours
                      Grill Chicken
