The bulk of my clients request a meal plan, designed around their personal preferences, food sensitivities, and overall lifestyle. I wanted to share with you what a sample day might look like!
This particular day is designed for someone who does not have food restrictions. Regardless of the style of eating (vegan, low carbohydrate, paleo, etc.), all of my meal plans are centered around healthy, nutrient dense plant foods. They also include detailed grocery lists and alternative ingredient swaps!
I also included a glass of wine at dinner. Obviously this is not required, but part of my approach is to show my clients that weight loss goals can be achieved without extreme restriction and deprivation. This day is a great example of that!
I usually recommend repeating days alternately throughout the week for sanity purposes - i.e. meals would be the same on Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday, with different meals on the weekends.
I hope you enjoy and please let me know if you have questions in the comments!
