Synopsis:
Kate is 6 weeks in. She is obviously snack driven, but does not have to sacrifice her meals to feel satisfied throughout the day. She eats frequently, every 2-3 hrs, in order to hit her numbers and looks forward to her ice cream sundae after dinner.
If she has a sweet tooth, she can substitute a handful of Swedish Fish or Jellybeans for a fruit, cheerios, or veggies. Or if she wants larger meals and has less time to snack, she can grab a protein bar and eliminate or adjust the Halo and other snacks—and build bigger meal portions.
All protein can be substituted (fish/ground turkey/egg/egg whites/shrimp), and she often swaps out zucchini noodles for cauliflower rice/gnocchi, boston lettuce for big protein “tacos”, or greens for large portion salads with protein.
These are the foods that keep Kate satisfied, healthy, and not bored! And she likes to brag that she’s losing weight every week on her Ice Cream Sundae diet😉.
