GOE: Beginning Steps
Here are a few tips to individuals who are beginning their health journey with the book!
Steps To Take When you get your book, The Garden Of Eaten: How To Lose 30 Pounds In 56 Days:
1.
Open the book and write down your goal weight on the Personal Information Page. Also set the DATE that you will begin your healthy eating plan. This is very important and will be helpful with tracking your progress!
2.
Look at the menus for the first two weeks to see what foods you will need for that time period.
3.
Look in the back of the book for the grocery list to see the approved foods and brand names of the food that you will buy and cook for your meals.
4.
Decide on the two times that you will eat your meals each day and stick with those times every single day. The preferred times for your meals is 12 Noon for your FIRST meal and 5pm or 6pm for your SECOND meal, whichever fits your work schedule better.
Note* Stick to eating both meals the same time each day because it is very important to do so! It makes all the difference in the world!
Always speak to your doctor before starting any new diet.
Below you will see tips for your 8 week health journey.
WEEK 1:
Look at the first week of meal plans. Throughout the first week, the menu includes mostly broccoli, Asparagus, Black Beans, Slaw, and a choice of meat.
TIP* Cook these foods at the beginning of the week, so that you will only need to warm up your food. This will allow you to prepare most of your meals in less than 15 minutes!
WEEK 2:
During this week, the meat of choice for dinner include Turkey Burger patties and chicken breast.
TIP* Cook turkey burger patties and chicken breast at the beginning of the week, and if any extra (cooked) meat is left over, be sure to store it in the freezer to prepare it another day. Feel free to choose a different meat to cook, as long as it is on the approved list in the back of the book.
WEEK 3:
During this week, the meat of choice include mostly marinated chicken breast and wild caught cod.
TIP* If you want to cook a different meat than what is on the menu for one of the days, then you can choose a meat from the approved list in the back of the book.
WEEK 4:
During this week, the meat of choice include meatballs, Buffalo wings, and marinated chicken.
TIP* This will be a good time to store and refrigerate or freeze any extra wings that are left over from your meals. By this time, you should already have one or two cooked chicken breasts ready to heat and serve.
WEEK 5:
This is the first week of Month Two! By now, you might want to step things up by being creative with your meals.
TIP* You might want to add a healthy delicious salad with one or two of your meals for the week. You can also visit the website and view some of the suggested salads that you can make.
WEEK 6:
During week #6, there are several meals that include Kale and Arugula salad.
TIP* For an amazing taste, you can try adding garlic or garlic salt and stir fry the salad in a pan with coconut oil. Be sure to always check with your doctor before trying a new meal or adding a new seasoning to your diet.
WEEK 7:
By week 7, you might want to try cooking your vegetables a different way throughout the week to keep the meals interesting.
TIP* You can bake vegetables on one day or steam them another day. A fantastic way to cook vegetables is to stir fry them and add seasoning to them such as garlic salt.
WEEK 8:
Try other foods on the approved substitute list (in back of the book) that you have not tried before!
TIP* Continue to eat healthy organic foods whenever possible!
ADDITIONAL TIPS!
*Be sure to drink lemon water each day, unless your doctor has other instructions for you.
