Basically, it's five rules.
1. No white carbohydrates, or anything that can be white (i.e. brown rice, ww bread)
2. Eat the same few meals over and over again
3. Don't drink calories (except red wine :)
4. Don't eat fruit
5. Once a week "go nuts"
There's more to it, obviously but that's basically it. Lots of beans and eggs and meat and veggies.
Some friends of ours are doing it and think it's the best thing ever - my mom is even doing it and said she lost 8 pounds in 6 days.
Anyway I'm going to blog about it since I never blog anymore.
Here's what I ate for breakfast:
2 scrambled eggs, 3 slices of turkey bacon, a couple handfuls of spinach, and about 1/2 cup of cannelini beans, all scrambled up together with a little salt and pepper.
coffee with cinnamon in it
lots of water (one .5 liter bottle and 2 pints so far)
lunch, because I'm lazy:
some baby carrots
trader joe's punjab eggplant (eggplant, tomatoes, onions, sunflower oil, pumpkin, garlic, salt, coriander, chili, cumin, turmeric, ginger, cloves) with cannelini beans thrown in
dinner is going to be chicken fried faux-rice.
- 1 med head White Cauliflower
- 1 large boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tsp olive or favorite oil
- 2 Tbls Soy Sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 1 Tbls Fresh Grated Ginger
- 1 Green Onion chopped including the green
- 5 spice
- 1 cup water
except I'll probably double that and I'm adding some chopped cabbage and other veggies.
**Update!**
I used three chicken breasts, three eggs, and added celery, carrots, shallots, cilantro, crimini mushrooms, a ton of garlic, and a little fish sauce. it was awesome!
