This meal plan is designed to either get you accustomed to a cleaner way of eating but can also help you drop some unwanted weight as well. Since I know starting something new can be scary, I made it so you will still feel full throughout the day, and it will also be lighter on your wallet.
Before you start :
- Make sure you drink 3-4 liters of water a day, if not more, depending on activity level! Stay hydrated!
- Make sure your getting a good nights sleep, you cant feel healthy or be healthier when your constantly drained and tired.
- Stay Positive!
