Most of the meals/snacks are linked in some-way to help get you started!

This meal plan is simply a guide to help guide your week. I am not a dietician nor am I endorsing that you follow this meal plan exactly. I tried to make sure you get enough protein in everyday, but if you feel like you are missing some, feel free to add some or supplement with a protein shake.

As you can tell the diet, it is very low carb, yet high in protein and good healthy fats. As long as you stick with-in that particular frame work, you should start to feel healthier! If you are a vegetarian, feel free to use your judgement and substitute accordingly!

Remember, you are in charge and you are your own judge!

As for work-outs, here is my schedule for the week:

Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday
Pilates (1 hr)	30 Minute Cardio	1 hr Cardio Dance Class	Pilates (1 Hr)	Day off	Pilates	30 Minutes Cardio

Good luck this week! I am excited to hear how you do! Please share your stories as I share mine and let’s all get healthy together :)!

Love always,
