Use a different airtight container for each part or use meal prep containers with 2-3 compartments.
I like to cook my quinoa, make tzatziki and hummus upfront, saves me a lot of time. To make this easier you might want to meal prep some parts of your meals or your entire meals before you start. You don’t need to follow this meal plan exactly, pick the meals you like, add other healthy meals you’ve already tried and experiment! Try something new. No eating out and a lot of cooking, but I find it stress-relieving, so that’s ok. To be honest I won’t be strict with it as I want to experiment with new recipes. So this is a healthy meal plan, which pretty much describes how I want to be eating during the next week. Got it? Go as unprocessed and unpackaged as possible. Sometimes processed foods don’t have more calories than unprocessed foods, but have added ingredients that are super harmful and you wouldn’t even want to touch with gloves. Between a turkey and turkey bacon, you take the turkey. No soda, no refined grains, unfortunately no pizza, no fruit juices, nothing with sugar, nothing processed. But that’s just a personal preference and you don’t need to do it if you don’t want to.Īnything that has a lot of calories, but no nutrients or is just evil (like diet coke). I like to keep at least 1-2 days plant-based or vegetarian. And I’ve included some cheese, which you can totally leave out if you’re not eating dairy. And then there are fatty fish, whole grains, lean protein, coconut oil and olive oil. The majority of your diet should be, without a doubt, vegetables.
You can download the clean eating grocery list here. So you need to eat a variety of good, natural foods. Listen, when it comes to eating clean you want to focus on getting as many nutrients as you can from your food without overeating. This way, hopefully, you wouldn’t want to keep eating pizza or cookies every time. But if you don’t and decide to have pizza or cookies – your body would at least have adapted to good food.
This challenge is great if you’re a beginner and just figuring out how to start eating healthy or if you want to lose weight and need a little push.īest case scenario: you keep eating healthy after this week. We’ll start cooking more, we’ll cut all the crap, the fluff in your diet and we’ll focus on what you actually need to have energy and feel great: nutrient-dense foods. It will be a reminder in the first week of the month, that you need to take care of your health, no matter what is going on. So this week will be to get back on track and here’s the deal: I want to keep doing it every month. “I’m not going anywhere” And I want to take it out. And cake, well you will have cake as well.Ĭrappy food has made its way into my life since January and is now sitting there confidently, never moving its butt. You know how that happens – it’s someone’s birthday, then you’ve got something else to celebrate and you don’t like wine or bear or vodka. So pizza + lasagna three times within a week. Just like we know that celery juice can heal anything (I’m sarcastic and it makes me sad that I have to say it, but what are you going to do). Okay, there aren’t any, but we all know this. Science can back this up, there are studies. It’s not a secret that pizza is the best thing that has happened to humanity and the world. And we’re not talking sad lasagna, we’re talking cheesy fat lasagna. Last Saturday I had my third time within a week having pizza. I’m also including a sample 7-day clean eating meal plan with healthy recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as a healthy grocery list. Switch things up with this one week clean eating challenge and make a commitment to eat healthy this week! No cheat meals, no slip-ups for just one week. Last updated on May 9th, 2022 at 05:44 pm
