The Stripped plan

The Stripped plan is meant for people who are trying to lose those last 10 pounds or are trying to tighten up for an event!  So in my case the later is why I chose to do this plan.  It is all the basic principles of clean eating that I talk about every day but now it is literally stripped! 

The basic clean eating principles are:

1.  Eat More!  Eat 6 small meals each day, spaced at two and a half to three hour intervals.
2.  Eat breakfast every day within an hour of rising.
3.  Make your last meal three hours before bed.
4.  Eat a combination of lean protein and complex carbohydrates at each meal.
5.  Eat sufficient healthy fats every day.
6.  Drink two to three liters of water each day.
7.  Carry a cooler packed with clean foods each day.
8.  Depend on fresh fruits and vegetables for fiber, vitamins, nutrients and enzymes.
9.  Adhere to proper portion sizes.
10.  Eat only foods that have not been overly processed or doused in chemicals, saturated in trans fats and toxins.

You are getting rid of your last 10 lbs in a healthy way, without depriving yourself and sacrificing nutrition, you must supplement your diet with an abundance of fruits and veggies!!

Allowable vegetables include:  Sweet and regular potatoes, radishes, carrots, parsnips, cucumber, broccoli, asparagus, beets, leeks, leafy greens, brussels sprouts, green beans, onions, sprouts, celery, zuchini, fennel and garlic.
