Well, I decided to not buy/try the 6 week body makeover since I read the restrictions are little too much for me, especially giving up coffee/caffeine. I'm looking for some type of easy to follow diet plan, I know theres clean eating and not counting calories but it gets confusing when people say you aren't eating enough. In my quest to find some type of good meal plans to get me in the right direction, I'm a bit of a video fitness instructor stalker and saved a couple of meal plans that Tracie Long posted years ago when she was on WHFN and one from Debbie Siebers that was posted on BeachBody's boards (please don't think I'm too weird for saving these, lol) These sound like pretty low in calories since these women exercise for a living...just wondering what people here think? I was going to follow them since there's not much cooking/prepairing involved and just replace things here and there as I get bored with certain foods.
Tracie Long's:
My daily diet: (this is an ideal day for me)
ezekial bread toasted w/organic butter or earth
balance (2 slices)
2 coffee w/organic half and half and turbinado sugar
balance gold bar or some trail mix
tomatoes dipped in sea salt
splet quesidilla w/cheese, red peppers
celery stalk
1 hard boiled organic egg w/sea salt
grapefruit flax drink (2 whole grapefruits, 1/2 cup
ground flax)
large green salad w/ a variety of veggies
garbanzo beans
chicken or salmon
Newman's own ranch dressing
couple handfuls of dark choc chips and herbal tea
w/honey
Lot's of water

I eat very small mini-meals throughout the day. I do
not eat complex carbs after 12:00 noon. The only
complex carbs I do eat are Oatmeal or a whole grain
cereal for breakfast. I do not eat 3 hours before I go
to bed. I eat alot of salads, fish, chicken, fruits
and veggies. I also drink tons of water. Right now, my
appetite is very low because of the heat.
Usually, for breakfast I will have my whole grain
cereal with soy milk. Otherwise, I'll have some
scrambled egg whites with a Tbsp. of guacamole and
some salsa, or I'll have a protein shake with soy milk
and frozen fruit! Then, about 3 hours later, I'll have
some fresh fruit. Blueberries are my favorite.
Otherwise, I'll have an apple or banana. An hour
later, I'll have a salad with some protein in it. I
mix up dark greens with cucumbers, peppers, mushrooms
and whatever yummy veggies I feel like at the time,
with a little chicken, tuna, hard boiled eggs.....and
top it with Balsamic Dressing. Three hours later, I'll
usually have some fruit again. Then, one hour later,
I'll have some fish or chicken with veggies. I also
snack on edamame (soy beans) wasa crackers (high in
fiber) yogurt, Tbsp. of natural peanut butter, frozen
fruit bars (from the health food store). You know,
healthy stuff like that!!
