DIET PLANNING MANIA!! 

SO I know how hard it can be to plan a diet that you can stick to. Not all of us can or even want to meal plan in order to have the results we desire. 

It does take a certain amount of planning but does not have to kill you! 

STEP ONE: Start a food journal. This is important for you to see when and where the problems lie. Write down EVERYTHING you eat and drink EVERYTHING. And try to log the calories if you can. 

STEP TWO: Cut out something bad.. break a habit. If you drink a lot of soda, stop for a week. If you eat a lot of fast food, same thing. This small step can make a big difference! 

STEP THREE: Create a plan you can stick to. Start out just three days a week. THREE. Stick to this plan: 

 40 percent protein

30 percent veggies 

30 percent fat/carbs 

I recommend getting a vegan cookbook and adding meat, usually there are great, flavorful options that are lower in calories and full of veggies! 

When that feels less challenging, go to 4 days a week and then 5. 

Do the same with a fitness program when you are first starting out. DO NOT OVER DO IT. 

TRY THIS RECIPE: 

Parmesan crusted salmon

Mix mayo and olive oil with salt, pepper and garlic. Spread over salmon filets (a thin layer) 

sprinkle with parmesan cheese and bake at 350 for about 15 minutes. 

Serve with roasted asparagus or your favorite veggie and a fresh salad. 

Healthy and flavorful!
