Step 1: Eat Right

For all of you who might be on the edge...who want to make a healthy change in your food choices but don't know what to eat...this is for you!  Here are the sample meals that my Bootcamp manual recommends:

For The Next 4 Weeks

NO Alcohol

NO Regular Soda

NO Fried Food

NO White Rice, Pasta, Bread, Cakes, Pies, Cookies or Candy

NO Food 4 hours prior to bedtime

Drink 1 Gallon of H2O Each Day

Breakfast (select one)

2 Hardboiled Eggs and 1 pc Light Wheat Bread

1 cup cottage cheese and 1 (6 oz) light yogurt

4 scrambled egg whites, 1 slice low fat american cheese on 1 slice light wheat bread

1/2 cup plain oatmeal, 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese

Midmorning Snack (select one)

12 almonds

1 (6 oz) light yogurt

apple with 2 tsp peanut butter

1 oz low fat cheese or string cheese

Lunch (select one)

1 pc light wheat bread with 3-4 oz chicken or turkey, salad with balsamic vinigarette

large salad with grilled chicken breast, balsamic vinigarette, 1 pc fruit

...you get the idea

Midafternoon Snack

same as midmorning snack options

Dinner (select one)

4 oz grilled chicken breast with large salad, 2 tbsp light dressing

4 oz lean meat (shrimp, fish, pork, lean beef) with veggies only-NO Carbs

I have lost 2 pounds in 2 days so far.  The hardest part for me is the no carbs for dinner.  I just eat extra veggies and don't necessarily limit my meat to just 4 oz.  Drinking alot of water helps too!
