Preppin meals....It's a part time job!



 

Most advertised meal plans these days encourage eating more frequently than the typical BREAKFAST-LUNCH-DINNER cycle.  Consuming smaller portions more often throughout the day is designed to kick your metabolic motor into overdrive, therefore burning calories on a more consistent basis.  Such a schedule also helps prevent over-eating.  When you have longer periods of time between meals, your body tells you it is much hungrier and consequently you overeat, and more than likely, at a much faster pace than if you were only trying to nourish your body rather than curb that hunger feeling. 

Well, the Fighter Diet does follow that plan of eating more frequently throughout the day but the meals are DEFINITELY not smaller! The plan recommends that a person my size should consume around 7 pounds of vegetables a day! DO YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH THAT IS!!! To give you a little perspective, the picture with the veggies in the saucepan, that included 3 zucchini squash, 2 yellow squash and 30 small spears of asparagus.  All of that didnt even reach 2 lbs. 

This 'diet' has more components than any other meal plan I have ever researched and really challenges what I think is common sense weight management...."smaller meals more frequently throughout the day".  No Way! This diet wants you nourishing your body with VEGGIES VEGGIES VEGGIES! Really, as much as your body will allow you to consume.  Although, really, as much as your pocket allows you to purchase!!

I am doing my best to train my body into consuming more than usual as well as figure out what type of meal planning will work best for me.  My chicken scratch list in the pic helps me with weekly meal planning as well as accurately logging my food in fitness pal.  I am weighing everything I am putting in my body with the HIGH HOPES of being successful on this plan. 

I GOTTA DO SOMETHING!!!! PLEASE GO AWAY FAT! :)
