The following meal plan can be followed for a quick, jump start plan. And then eventually as something you can follow for the long term. The serving sizes are the minimum you should be eating. Remember that each person’s starting point is very different. The meal plan servings can be adjusted based on your personal needs.
If you experience hunger at any time, increase the protein, fruit or vegetable serving in 1 or 2 meals by 1 serving. 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 not affect 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 jump start guide because they are the
ones I have researched and found to fit the program best. If you cannot find
these brands easily accessible to you, you can make substitutions using
your judgment and the principles you have learned here on this site. However, I strongly
encourage these as I have already eliminated several brands that claim one thing
and deliver another.

Notes:
- Turkey Bacon – Applegate Farms makes the best turkey bacon. Each slice has about 6 grams of protein. If you can’t find this brand, find a brand that has 5-7 g of protein per slice and contains NO nitrites and nitrates.
- Turkey Sausage – Also Applegate Farms. Each link has about 6 grams of protein. If you can’t find this brand, find a brand with NO nitrites and nitrates.
- 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! - All almonds, walnuts and almond butter must be raw. They can not be roasted.
- Roasting nuts takes a good food and turns it into a bad food!
- Olive Oil must be Extra Virgin and preferably organic.
- Flaxseed oil must go in the refrigerator.
