Meal Plan
The serving sizes given are general and can be adjusted accordingly dependent upon hunger as your body adjusts.   Remember that each person’s starting point is very different. The meal plan servings can be adjusted based on your personal needs. 
These needs will all be based around time to determine perfect portion size. 
·         Whatever you need to get you to 3 hours. 
o   If you are still full at the 3-hour mark, you ate too much.  Drop the serving sizes slightly of each item. 
o   If you are starving before the 3 hour mark, simply increase the portion of either protein, fruit or vegetable slightly in your next meal

For example, if lunch calls for 3 ounces of turkey, increase it to 4 ounces or even 5 ounces if necessary. Please do not be afraid to add more healthy food to your plan to nourish your body sufficiently. Eating one or two more ounces of a healthy protein, fruit, or vegetable will only positively impact your results. Eating foods that are not on your list (breads, pastas, sweets) will deter you from seeing the results you’re looking for.
I mention specific brands throughout this jumpstart guide because they are the ones I have researched and found to fit the program best. If you cannot find these brands and cannot order them online, you can make substitutions using your judgment and the principles you have learned here. However, I strongly encourage these as I have already eliminated several brands that claim one thing and deliver another.

How to Use the Meal Plans

Each meal, you will have a protein and a vegetable, along with a carb (optional), a fruit, or a fat. This way of building your meals is a great way to keep you on track and ensure you are eating supportively. Proteins are essential for muscle growth, tissue repair, boosting your metabolism, and keeping you full, while vegetables promote overall health and fill you up without adding excess calories.
Fats, fruits, and carbs can provide much-needed nutrition to round out your diet. We present several options to choose from that will get you well on your way to exactly where you want to be.  Enjoy! 

Remember…
Do the very best you can with whichever foods are available to you. You may not be able to find every single food I have listed, but that is ok! I have never had a client not lose weight because they had to make 1 or 2 adjustments. More importantly, make the majority of your food choices “all natural” and follow the recommended portion sizes and food combinations.

** Meal Substitutions** At any time you cannot get a prepared meal, simply replace this for a shake meal.  Try not having more than 2 shake meals per day.

** Ex: 1) Shake Meal 2.) Scheduled Snack 3.) Scheduled Meal 4.) Shake Meal 5.) Scheduled Meal 6.) Scheduled Meal

Notes

Eggs—Must be organic! I would love for all of the food you eat to be organic, but if nothing else, eggs are a must!
Nuts—All almonds, walnuts, must be raw. They cannot be roasted. Roasting nuts takes a good food and turns it into a bad food by changing the oils and fats inside!
Oil—Only oil being used will be very light coconut oil for cooking eggs only (vegies steam without anything)
-          Coconut must be – Cold pressed, Extra virgin like Nutiva)
Protein – chose whey and low sugar/low carb
Water Intake—A MINIMUM of 4 Liters of water each day. If you are starting out drinking zero, begin by drinking 2-3 liters a day and add a liter each week to reach your goal.
Celtic Sea Salt—One big change for this week is that you are going to buy Celtic Sea Salt (You can find this at most grocery stores).
I encourage you to replace any salt in your home (Kosher, Iodized, or any other form of sea salt) with this brand. I assure you that salt is not bad. It is just the type of salt that is either good or bad.
