5 Days of Ridiculously Big Salads and Hot Veggie Meals

Have I told you lately how much I love this Eat Like a Bear eating plan? I do. I absolutely love it for many different reasons.

First and foremost because it’s simple. I hate cooking anymore. Well, let me just say I don’t like trying to figure out what to cook anymore. If there’s a special occasion, yeah, I’m all over it. But a daily try to figure out what to eat for losing weight and satisfying other people, not with this way of eating.

So basically the plan is one gigantic salad a day. The salad gives you everything you need in terms of vegetables, fiber, carbs, proteins. Oh and don’t forget your fats. Load it up and try to keep it around 1200 to 1500 cal and your body love you for it.

5 Days of Ridiculously Big Salads and Hot Veggie Meals

I’m going to share five days of salads and a hot veggie meal that I make. I eat one giant salad between 12 and one in the afternoon. Or if I don’t feel like a salad I will cook my veggies, add proteins and cheese for my fats. (BTW – this was a week I had cooked a few extra steaks for my meals. I usually include Chicken or hamburger – whatever sounds good.)

Because of the fact I eat one meal a day with a 23 hour fasting window, my body is really changing its composition. I never thought it would be possible. On my next post I’ll do a face-to-face comparison between my low-carb face at -60 lbs and my fasting face. Its amazing.

Anyway, below are the pictures and you can figure out your own recipes. Remember to eat the rainbow!

Just as an FYI my salads usually include a combination of the following:

Romaine
Coleslaw mix
Broccoli slaw
Cheese
Cucumber
Carrots
Celery
Radishes
Almonds -sometimes
Sunflower seeds
Kidney and garbanzo beans, sometimes (count carbs)
Various proteins

TIP: Homemade dressing or a natural dressing like Litehouse or Marie’s. Change your salad ingredients Daily!

My hot meals usually contains things like:

Cauliflower or Cauliflower rice
Broccoli
Chopped spinach
Shredded cheese
Some type of protein like scrambled egg, chicken, beef

TIP: You need about 16 ounces of vegetable when you do a hot meal so you can combine them like I do. Remember the amount of food you need has to carry you over 23 hours. Fiber helps!

Eat until you are full but don’t absolutely stuff yourself. Some people need to work up to just one meal a day and that’s fine. But keep your eating window as tight as possible. Like 18/6 or 20/4 window, if necessary and try not to eat late at night. Don’t forget loads of water and add some electrolytes too. I drink a XXX Vitamin Water Zero Sugar with my meal. Helps with leg cramps, etc.

If you are a mature adult, peri or post menopausal, with a lot of weight to lose, this might be your answer. It is helping me so much! I have been screwing around that past month so I am just sitting close to 30 lbs down but I should have lost much more. I’m ok with my progress. I am happy I am sticking to it and never bored with it! That’s progress!
