This past weekend my friend, Super Trainer and Super Model Greg Avedon did a photo shoot of Nicholas and myself for my new website. Greg is a phenomenal photographer by the way!
Now even though I have been eating great and exercising consistently, I decided to step it up this last week. Here is my plan courtesy of Billy Beck III:
Monday: Thermic Meals (refer to the blog on thermic meals) every 3 hours.
Tuesday through Thursday: Thermic Meals minus the Carbs every 3 hours.
Friday: Thermic Meals every 3 hours.
Saturday: photoshoot.
Looks easy, but it’s not, if you are not prepared.
So guess what I did on Sunday?
Yup! I cooked up a storm, and I did it in about 35-40 minutes.
Here is my plan:
I roasted:
- 2 heads of broccoli with Mrs. Dash Italian blend.
- 1lb of aspragus with toasted almonds and grill seasoning.
- 2 eggplants, sliced in rounds with grill seasoning.
- 1lb brussel sprouts with toasted walnuts.
This took about 5 minutes to chop and 25 minutes in the oven.
I baked:
- 2 dozen Veggie Quiches (new recipe from the latest Eat to be Fit cooking class-so YUM).
- 1 dozen Nutty Banana Millet Muffins
This took about 5-10 minutes to put together and 25 minutes in the oven.
I also made a menu for the whole week for my protein since I had all my veggies and snacks prepped.
Monday:
Turkey Chili
Tuesday:
Walnut Crusted chicken (click here for recipe)
Wednesday:
Spinach turkey meatballs
Thursday:
Baked Tilapia with spinach, lemon juice, parsley, garlic
Friday:
Sesame Chicken
With a plan, even the hardest eating plan can be easy! What most people would think is a hard and boring week because of the lack of carbohydrates, I made it a great and enjoyable week with tons of yummy vegetables, delicious snacks and great protein dishes.
I am so glad I pre-made all that food. I was prepared for every single meal. Never missed a meal, never felt hungry, and I actually enjoyed every single meal.
I hope this motivates you to do some planning and get cooking so that you can see some amazing results.
