WEEK TWO

For Everyone...

You can choose to stay vegetarian or add some meats:
cold water fish... salmon, trout etc.
Lean lamb, duck, chicken, turkey, hen, venison

The diet this week is similar to last. Upon rising lemon and hot water.

Whole grains: brown rice, quinoa, millet, bhutanese red rice etc... all in their original form i.e brown rice as oppose to brown rice pasta

Vegetables: everything but corn, white potatoes, eggplant, tomato and pepper. Try to consume leafy greens that are in season as often as possible. If you are finding this hard please comment!
Today we made pesto from Kale, sea salt, olive and flax oil, walnuts and basil and we will put it on everything this week!

Legumes/Beans: Eat lentils and beans often. There are so many great options try something new. I am in love with all of these options. They sell at whole foods too.

Nuts: everything but peanut and pistachio. Be mindful of how many nuts you eat! Eat as a small snack, add to salads or add to smoothies

Fruit: try to lean towards in season local fruit like pears and apples. Berries are great especially blueberries. During this part of the diet stay away from highly acidic fruit like oranges and strawberries. And no grapes.


NOTHING TO EAT AFTER DINNER!

Exercise and body:

Find time to move your body. Also find time to rest. If you can try to get to bed by 10pm 2 nights this week. Notice how you feel in the morning on these days. On days when exercise doesn't happen, instead of hating on yourself take a moment to look at your day tomorrow and see when you can definitely fit it in. If you are having this thought relatively early in the evening, maybe see if you can do a 10 minute yoga sequence. Downward dog to plank, hold plank for 3 breaths, back to down dog, hold for 3 breaths, back to plank, do this 10 times. If you have never done this in your whole life, I really recommend it! If you have a partner on the plan, do it together and laugh. Try it everyday this week, increasing the number of breaths, working up to holding plank for 10 breaths 2 weeks from now. And then if you are super inspired do this. If you do these 2 practices often, I believe you will change your body. It need not be complicated or even hard core, just consistent and with a certain amount of self love and ease.


This isn't easy! You guys are really killing it.
If you are hungry eat more and perhaps eat more often.
