Tips For Success
- On this highly effective weight loss meal plan, eat no more than 20 total grams of carbohydrates per day. Best carbohydrate choices are vegetables. Stick to the basics: protein, vegetables, fat. After 14 days, assess whether you’d like to repeat the Meal Plan or move on to more liberalized menus which include more carbohydrates.
- Eat to satiation of foods without carbohydrate content listed in the Meal Plan, but do not overeat. All recipes in the plan are available with detailed nutritional information for purchase in Low Carb Menu Planner, available in the App Store.
- Cheese is limited to 4 oz maximum per day. Cheese should be full fat.
- Increase your intake of plain or sparkling water. Other acceptable beverages are coffee and tea without sugar or starch.
- Ideal sweetener choices are stevia, erythritol, and sucralose (Splenda). If you use packets, count 1 carb per packet. These are generally not included in the menus.
- Do not eat fruit, bread, grains, starchy veggies, nuts, yogurt, or milk when following this Meal Plan.
- Low carb food products like bars, sugar free candy, diet soda, and shakes are not on this Meal Plan.
- Avoid items like gum, cough syrups, cough drops, and herbal candies because these often contain sugar.
- Enjoy spices and herbs to taste, as long as ingredients do not contain sugar. Clear and apple cider (not balsamic) vinegar make great additions to salads. Mustard is allowed.
- Whenever possible, choose quality ingredients: organic produce, organic and grass fed animal foods like meat and dairy, bacon and sausage without added sugar or nitrates.
