JaneH55 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Hi- I'm on day 4 and I thought I was doing pretty well. Everything I have eaten has been compliant but reading the forums I realized I have not been having the ideal plate. ie: 1-2 thumb sizes of Fat, palm size protein and 1-2 C greens. The greens have been there but they have been no where near 1-2 cups per meal. Here are my questions on a few things. - Do I have to start over because of the lack of vegetables? -This was my breakfast today. I realize it's not super hot but is it ok? -1 C Brussel Sprouts, 2 hard boiled eggs, 1 handful of pistachios. -I have had compliant Kombucha daily. Is this ok? Thank you for the help!

Administrators ladyshanny Posted April 6, 2018 Administrators Share Posted April 6, 2018 First, the only reason to restart is if you ate something off plan. The meal template for timing and composition is just a recommendation for best possible results. Also, you have the meal template a bit wrong. It's 1-2 palms of protein, 1-2 servings of fat and 2-3+ cups of veggies, preferably a mix of starchy and non-starchy with a focus on non-starchy. For your breakfast example, bump your veggies up to 2-3 cups, add another egg (eggs as sole protein are as many as you can hold in one hand without dropping; usually 3-4 for most people) and be careful with the amount of nuts you're using. Nuts are recommended to be limited and the serving is a closed handful. So think about only having one serving of nuts every other day at most. Compliant kombucha every day is fine.

It can take a few days of adjusting with the meal sizes/template but you'll figure it out and then from there it's smooth sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
