If you're looking to rid your body of that gross feeling you get after eating all those holiday treats, you may want to try out what I've been doing the past few weeks. I recommend not straying from the diet for 2 weeks then have a cheat meal (not day) then start again but maybe have 1 cheat meal a week if you want to lose more than 15 pounds.
Basically cut out all sugar, breads, pasta and fruit. Eat only lean meat, lowfat dairy, any vegetable except corn and potatoes, and a small amount of nuts. You can drink water, crystal light, tea without sugar(I use Splenda), and coffee with Splenda and a small amt of cream.
The big thing is do not return to bad habits after you reach your goal. Make healthy eating a lifestyle and let yourself indulge once or twice a week. You'll feel better, look better and after a short time you won't even want to eat badly anymore.
When you do reach your goal, slowly add back in good carbs like berries, apples, oatmeal and whole grains but only a serving at each meal at most.
Here is an idea of what I've been eating lately...
Breakfast:
Crustless quiche (my recipe is further down the page)
Snack:
EAS carb control shake (I love the dark chocolate)
Lunch:
Cucumber sandwiches (meat cheese between cut up cucumbers) Use mustard or a tad bit of light mayo if needed.
or
White Chicken Chili (recipe on blog)
Snack:
1/4 cup lightly salted peanuts with 1 cup 1% milk or a carb master yogurt (Kroger has them)
Dinner:
Spinach salad with tomato, feta cheese, cucumber and turkey bacon bits and any lean meat.
or
Pecan crusted salmon (recipe on the blog and extremely easy) with a vegetable steamer.
Dessert:
Sugar free Popsicle or diet hot chocolate
