Welcome, New Folks!

Happy New Year!

'Tis the season for resolutions of getting healthy, losing weight. If you have chosen Haylie's Fast Metabolism Diet- CONGRATULATIONS! This plan works! 

For new people, this plan can be very overwhelming at first. Lots of lists, meal maps, grocery lists, prepping, cooking, eating, and more eating! So, to help, I am sharing my week's meal map. I don't normally write them out, since I have been eating this way for well over a year, but I really think it will help. As you can see, I don't use Haylie's recipes. While they are good recipes for those who don't like to cook, or doesn't know how to cook, we find them bland. It was much easier to modify what we normally ate into an FMD version. 

Here is what I am eating this week. I also have a menu here.
