Breakfast: start with fruit (doesn't matter what, just can't come in a can or in the form of a fruit snack) and then oatmeal (the old fashioned kind, add blueberries) and green tea.
* side note: this morning the oatmeal was so bland I might have added the tiniest bit of brown sugar... that could be my one tiny twist
Snacking (the most important meals of the day): Stick to veggies and fruit- AND THATS IT
Lunch: Brown rice, I add s&p and throw in some vegetables, because plain brown rice is blah. Try not to add butter, try real real hard- because it will be hard to resist (just think of the pounds melting off you, haha). And of course, no dessert...
Snacking: more fruit, more veggies- I think you see where this is going...
Dinner: Go for protein and veggies (steamed is your best option here), if you're having carbs just have the smallest portion you can physically manage ( I crave carbs on an hourly basis, so my small portion is a normal person's whole day consumption). No dessert and NO ALCOHOL!
I will warn you this cleanse (although I now realize is probably just a healthy person's daily routine) will make you cranky and irritable (be sure to warn your boyfriend, fiance, husband, room-mate, life partner, what have you beforehand), but keep in mind it only needs to be done for a week. After the week I found that you actually want to eat better, because you see how awesome you look and you're proud of your new found will power. So you will continue to eat healthier with the addition of dessert here and there (or everywhere) and the necessary booze.
If you choose to par take in this good luck- if you don't you're going to be jealous of me on Friday when I'm looking like this:
