People often say that eating a whole-food blueprint gets repetitive, but honestly, so does eating fast food. Store packaging naturally provides larger quantities than you need for a single meal or even a single day, so I frequently find myself eating the same ingredients the next day. The real key is just transforming those leftovers […]

Since I have half of the beef leftover from yesterday’s food blueprint, I am going to repeat yesterday’s daily food consumption as today’s menu. The calories are over my limit, but I hope to include a 10-mile bike ride as exercise to offset the extra calories. I will be sure and drink plenty of water […]

Choosing to eat a massive shredded beef sandwich could easily be a plan-killer, but it is all about balance.

While today’s plan looks high in fat at first glance, 81% of that total comes from premium, heart-healthy monounsaturated and omega-3 sources (salmon, olive oil, chia seeds, and almonds) that actively help reduce dangerous visceral belly fat and support […]

Reversing the Food Pyramid Instead of eating three massive meals, my food blueprints flow like a steady stream of energy: snack, breakfast, snack, lunch, dinner, snack. Spacing out my food this way keeps my metabolism active and helps prevent bloating. You will also notice a major shift from traditional guidelines where I purposefully limit the […]

When you plan your daily menu, it is difficult to stay on track. When you don’t plan your daily menu, it is difficult to stay healthy. Choose your difficult. Today was not planned. I knew I was taking another short road trip, so I tried to pack smart, healthy snacks like almonds, raisins, and […]
