An explanation

Proposed Meal Plan

Breakfasts

• The doc’s smoothie blend

Lunches/Dinners

• I will be traveling most of this week, so I’ll mostly just try and eat on plan.

Snacks

• I will try to limit these where possible

Actual Meal Plan

Breakfasts

• Doctor shakes
• Hotel buffet breakfasts – lots of fruit, a little meat, a little potato

Lunches/Dinners

• Lots of Asian, some bbq, too many potatoes, and too much bread

Snacks

• Was semi successful in avoiding while traveling

What did I learn this week?

Challenge foods for this week were accidental dairy (super out), overeating (also super unpleasant), a small amount of onion (less pleasant once – ok a second time), and a Chinese food amount of cooking garlic (fine I think; I was bloated but I think from the salt content of PF Chang’s).

Wheat is still in, but based on the pics of my food this week I look like I need to reign in my consumption of unnecessary breads and fried foods. I’m also tired of potatoes again, and have picked back up a wicked Diet Coke craving, so I may be doing a Whole30 to reset my tastebuds soon.
