This is the way I marinate my chicken, I grill an entire tray at a time so it lasts me 4-5 days. I marinate it with onion powder, pepper, garlic and olive oil.

I am doing this program to lose weight and to change my eating habits. My goal is to lose 15 pounds and complete the entire 24 days without cheating.
Have started my cleansing phase. Had oatmeat, raisins, banana, almond and honey shake for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteHad my cleansing envelope. Shake: Oat meal, raisins, banana, almonds and honey for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteGot this breakfast idea from Rene from last challenge.... changed it a little..
ReplyDelete1 egg + 1/2 c. egg beaters
+ pepper and onion powder scrambled using olive oil pam w/ red and orange bell peppers, cilantro
4 cherrry tomatoes 1/4 avocado
5 strawberries
is there a way to look at previous challengers menus?
Mid-morning snack - 1 apple with 2 T of Walmarts MaraNatha All Natural Almond butter. Thought man this stuff is sweet, looked on ingredients 2nd one - organic unrefined cane sugar 3 g sugar per 2 T. switched to raw almonds until I get the OK on this brand....
ReplyDeleteI haven't received my products yet, but for breakfast I had an omelet with 3 scrambled eggs mixed with 1/2 chopped green bell pepper & 1/2 chopped tomato and 1 banana on the side.
ReplyDeleteNathlie - cut out the raisins, no dried fruit. Also, limit the honey, you have enough sugar in that breakfast with the banana, no need to add more with honey. A couple eggs would help because you don't have a good source of protein in there either.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up!
Papa Lima - same as Nathalie, read what I wrote her above.
ReplyDeleteKathy K - looks yummy, try to use real olive oil and then use a napkin to spread it on the pan.
ReplyDeleteNo, all previous challengers posts are removed to start a new challenge. Not to worry, you have plenty of people in this group who will post and come up with rock star cleanse meals.
Christina - not to worry, if you get the products today or this evening then drink the fiber drink when you get it and have the Herbal Cleanse pills tonight before bed. If you get the products tomorrow then do that tomorrow. Your breakfast looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteAfter the cleanse, can we use the no cal spray butter?
ReplyDeleteBreakfast - spark instead of coffee (that was tough, but it worked!) and since I don't wake up early enough to make breakfast, I had a meal replacement.
ReplyDeleteSnack/late breakfast - scrambled egg w/jalepenos and bell peppers
Lunch - tuna with celery, side of pineapple and grapes
Dinner - talapia in a jalapeño pepper marinade, with shrimp possibly?, cooked with bell peppers and tomatoes
Charlie - two questions:
1. Are shell fish okay to eat, for example, shrimp, crawfish, etc?
2. I am NOT a morning person and never have time for breakfast (except the weekends), so is it bad to drink a meal replacement shake for breakfast every morning during the week?

Lunch- Salad w/ dash of apple-cider vinegar and olive oil, 1 tomato, walnunts, 4 strips of chicken

ReplyDelete1. Are shell fish okay to eat, for example, shrimp, crawfish, etc?
yes, just no cocktail sauce or salty seasonings
2. I am NOT a morning person and never have time for breakfast (except the weekends), so is it bad to drink a meal replacement shake for breakfast every morning during the week?

Melonie - your food looks good, maybe try eating some meat with dinner and veggies. I'm not sure why you are jittery, please let me know if eating something helps or if you still feel this way tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteZach - that is a sign that you are not eating enough, you need to get more food in at morning snack time if you are going to have a shake for breakfast. For example, have 2-3 hard boiled eggs and an apple for mid morning snack. And lunch needs some fruit, veggies and healthy fats. Try broccoli, it is very filling. Avocado is good too.

I just received my package, so I plan on drinking the fiber drink this evening and taking the herbal pills before bed.
Side note--In the past, I have usually followed lunch/dinner with a small piece of chocolate of some sort, so it has been KILLING me today to not touch any of that. In attempt to ease the temptation, I had almonds during my snack with my apple (even though I'd just had them in my salad for lunch) and tricked myself into thinking they were small & delicious like Hershey's kisses.... call me crazy but it WORKED!
Advocare stuff isn't here yet, hopefully Monday?

Kathy K - Everything looked great on your first day, the only thing I want you to do different is not have egg beaters, stick to real eggs.
ReplyDeleteNathalie - food looks good, try to stay consistent with meals and eat every 3 hours....something.....have a shake if it's easier. Also, when you are at a restaurant and order a salad, no vinegaretes, only oil and vinegar.
ReplyDeleteAdam - you did great but try to add some nuts or meat with those mid morning and mid afternoon snacks.
ReplyDeletePapa Lima - great job! Looks good, keep it up.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth - PERFECT! Keep this up and you will do great.
ReplyDeleteKandis - you also did PERFECT! One little thing, when you eat avocado have 1/4 if it's a large avocado and no more than half if it's small.
ReplyDeleteMaria - it looks good, no vinnegarete with salad and i would prefer you eat chicken fajita over beef.
ReplyDeleteAlicia Rose - good job baby! I am proud of you!
ReplyDeleteWill - by frying your eggs do you mean cooked in olive oil?
ReplyDeleteCallie - breakfast looks light, 1/3 cup of egg whites is too little. Try eating 2-3 whole eggs instead. In the afternoon try having some protein or nuts with those grapes. This will help your calories get where they need to be.
ReplyDeleteChristina - that is a great strategy! And you showed everyone it worked! One thing, you did not have any protein at lunch, try to have some meat at every meal.
ReplyDeleteIt was actually olive oil Pam, but I see that olive oil alone is better now.
ReplyDeleteWill - sounds good, your day was perfect!
ReplyDeleteHalley - I am ok with tuna but not with the fruit cup, I prefer you eat fresh fruit found in the produce. And canned tuna in moderation, it would be better to get a tuna filet from the butcher in the meat section. Great job on day one!
ReplyDeleteKellie - great job! I am assuming the balsamic vinegar dressing is just balsamic vinegar, not vinaigrette?
ReplyDeletebreakfast - shake
ReplyDeletesnack - around 2 cups carrots and 1/4 almonds
lunch - shake (I was stuck in the car!)
snack - 2 celery sticks with almond butter
dinner - 1/2 lean turkey, 1/2 avocado, red pepper
Lauren - it is ok to have two shakes like that, just increase snack sizes because you will probably need it, or throw in a handful of nuts with the shake to help fill you up.
ReplyDeleteYes, Charlie. Will made me get just balsamic vinegar :)
ReplyDeleteKellie - great!
