Your Diet doesn't have to be hard. Try getting on the Phil Plan. My good friend Phil Roberts has recently cleaned up his diet and in only 7 days has dropped 10 lbs. with simple clean eating.
Below is a list of the foods he is eating.
Steak
Chicken
Whole Eggs (with the yolk)
Plain Organic Greek Yogurt (Not the flavored or sugar filled ones)
Nuts, almonds, pecans
Apples, Bananas & Oranges
Moderate amount of plain cooked oat meal (Not the flavored or sugar filled ones)
Whole Organic Milk
Lots & lots of mixed fresh or frozen vegies
That's it! Nothing fancy or complicated. Just simple clean healthy foods. Phil picks 1 day to cook and prepare all the meals ahead of time. Usually takes about 1-2 hours to cook, clean, portion all foods and store away. But once it's done you're week is planned out and no more thinking or guessing what to eat.
Below are photos of Phil's refridgerator full of pre-packaged foods ready for the week ahead. You'll notice to the left he has all his meats pre-packaged at around 4-6oz. and the other containers are mixed vegies pre-packaged at 1/2 cup servings. Lots of water (1-1.5 gallons per day) and the other containers on the bottom shelf is more food ready to be weighed and pre-packaged for more meals.
Phil's complete meal
4oz. Chicken, 1/2 cup vegies & 1/4 cup pecans
Prior to this Phil was spending on average around $60.00 - 80.00/week on groceries plus $30-50.00/day eating out for luch or dinner. He has eliminated the need to eat out and now saves around $300.00/week. His current grocery bill is around $75.00 - 80.00/week. Still around what he was spending on groceries before but with much healthier choices in food.
What could you do with an extra $300.00/week or even month???
He now saves the eating out for the weekend. This is his treat to himself for eating well all week. He chooses one day and one meal to "cheat" on. He can enjoy any food he likes but he is not to overinduldge to make up for what he has missed during the week. Most restaraunts serve you enough food to feed a family of four. Cut the food in half and eat that as the cheat meal. You could even save the other half and have it the following day or share it with a friend.
