Don't Make This Diet Difficult

Like Kimmer says - DON'T MAKE THIS DIET DIFFICULT. There is plenty to eat, and to those that complain about getting bored eating the same thing everyday - you don't have to, if you don't want to. (I swear before Kimkins I pretty much ate the same things all the time anyway - and where did that get me? Heavier and heavier, unhappy, lethargic & sick!)

Get a pen a paper and write down (from the foods list) what you can eat that is on plan. Think up 7 different breakfast, 7 lunches & 7 dinners. Then you can mix and match. Forget about what I eat or what anyone else eats - this is about YOU. I have different tastes to you. This has to be about what works for you. Also while you are jotting down ideas - think of grab & go foods - like canned/foil packet salmon, tuna, shrimp, or crab; hard boiled eggs etc.

Then go shopping: Find a low carb shake mix. I use Jay Robb Egg White Protein Powder (www.jayrobb.com), others use EAS or Designer Whey. Get some stevia or splenda packets to sweeten things. Get some spices. Buy some eggs, or eggbeaters. You can buy already peeled eggs these days. Buy some chicken tenders, some white fish like tilapia, some low fat ground beef (or better yet ground bison). Buy some green veges like spinach, broccoli, peppers, cauliflower etc. (unless you are doing K/E)

Stop making excuses about not knowing what to eat. There is no magic menu. No secret handshake. We can all do this!
