ABOUT YOUR MEAL PLANS

EVERY FRIDAY, you'll get a meal plan for the following week. To make your life easier, I would suggest: 

• Order online for example through Ocado as they have all the specialty stuff too

• Make (or prepare most) meals the night before so that they can travel with you (in the case of breakfast or lunch) 

• Snacks are optional - choose to have them or not depending on how hungry you are. They aren't listed on Sunday as this will be your least active day, but feel free to have some if you need them.

• EAT AS MUCH AS YOU NEED TO, there are no serving restrictions, begin to trust your body to decide how much you should eat 

 

GENERAL RULES

Cook with: coconut oil or sesame oil  
Dressing: use olive oil and vinegar only (squeeze of lemon also fine) 

 

To get rid of during Challenge & why: 

• Pickeled items: too much salt 
• Alcohol: sugars: empty calories 
• Refined/added sugar: chocolate, juices that add sugar, yogurts that add sugar, etc. 
• Butter, Cream, Salad Dressings: high sugar + salt + fat 
• Sodas: any carbonated drink which will usually have sugar added or aspartame
• Cheese: salt + fat  
• Dairy in general: preservatives + sweeteners 

 

To limit during meal plan:

• Extra sweet fruits: e.g. mangos and pineapples (you will have a recipe or two with these)
• Dried fruits: because of high sugar content
