Phase One Prep

I recommend cooking one or two days a week to prep all of your food. Buy a bunch of glad ware or zip lock baggies (large and small) to freeze/refrigerate your food. Also have a sharpie to label and date your food. Being prepped is key for any weight loss plan.

The “drop it” recipes are for your phase 2 very low calorie days and the “life eats” are for life phase and you can also use most of them for phase 3, just watch the ingredients. You will learn what foods you can/can’t have. If doing the drops program, your omni drops program book also has recipes. You CAN google recipes(low carb, etc…just make sure the ingredients are approved for your appropriate phase!)

I love ANY recipe that combines my meat and veggie…ONE container and DONE. Perfect for lunches. A lot of the recipes do, so find these for your “convenience” meals… A favorite of mine is the chicken tenders with bbq sauce and a side salad with my “honey-mustard” dressing. Look over the recipes and use your own creativity.

Another idea for the meals with marinated meats.  Have it all measured out/portioned in 4 servings in large freezer bags. Get it out the night before so it can marinate all day in the fridge.

Most recipes can be freezer meals!

In fact, one time I had ALL of my food prepped for 21 days! Sounds crazy but it really isn’t too hard… I did all the cooking in 2 days… just a bit of planning and organization. Otherwise try to cook a week or 2’s meals at once. PLEASE do not start the program with the plan to just eat plain meat and salad…you need to embrace this eating education. I cant believe how good it is!

Below are some approved phase 2 eats..

The Melba toast is my favorite grain. I LOVE the Annie’s Dijon! It makes a great “honey-mustard dressing mixed with water/stevia. And the Apple Chips, YUM (just watch servings) If you have a sweet tooth, the spry gum and mints are fantastic!

A LOT of this you can get local but you may have to go to a larger town or health food store such as whole foods. I buy a TON of my fun foods on Amazon because I don’t get out of town too often  The Braggs liquid aminos on this page is a must. Every store in my small town has most supplies…The stevia drops and spry gum/mints are usually what I have to get elsewhere.

This will be your new love. It’s mine, anyway! They do seem a bit costly but they last forever! I get some of my fun flavors on http://www.shopsweetleaf.com/sweet-drops-liquid-sweeteners/ I also get some on Amazon. My local store usually only carries a few flavors

I hope this helps you! Really research the recipes and experiment. Just always have your Omnitrtion drops book handy to make sure your ingredients are approved! And try new things. I didn’t think I would EVER eat asparagus or cabbage…but I do…Cabbage is my new fav! I buy the shredded kind (or shred myself) and can make spaghetti noodles with it by frying it up with salt and a bit of garlic. Sounds weird, yes I know, but its very yummy!

Food prep is the definite make it or break it for your weight loss plan so get cooking!
