)

Substitutes and/or Further Recommendations
Feel free to substitute the fruits for other fruits you enjoy more: ie. Peaches, pears, etc. However, you will need the bananas for the spinach shake.
Feel free to substitute the vegetables for different vegetables you (or your family) prefer. Also, if cost is a huge issue and you don’t feel like you can afford fresh vegetables then buy frozen. It’s better to have frozen vegetables then none at all, though it’s always preferred to steam vegetables when possible).
If it’s necessary for you to eat processed carbs stay away from ones with: High Sugar, Sodium, and saturated fats. SO STAY AWAY FROM THOSE THREE S’s!!!
Try to drink enough WATER so that you have at least one clear urination a day
Prepare your meals in ADVANCE! I cannot stress this enough. I will discuss this is greater detail starting day one on my journey back to Fit. This will help you save TIME and better prepare you to avoid bad eating habits.
Added Item(s) to the grocery list for my WIFE. These are items that will be found in my wife’s meal plan (if you follow the women’s meal plan) that are not listed in the above. Again, if you already have these ingredients you don’t need to buy more:
1 container of cashew nuts
Supplements I'm using this week:
Supplements Lynn is using this week:
** Please remember you do NOT have to use the supplements that my wife and I are using above. People asked we include this in the grocery list so that they see what supplements we’re using in advance of the day we’re using them. Supplements can be found here!
