Bounce back from holiday weight gain in 3 short weeks

Day 19

Try to have a perfect day of eating. By now, you should be starting to get used to eating healthy foods and maybe even craving them over fried, fatty, calorific catastrophes. Start in the morning with a 3-egg white omelet bursting with veggies and a medium piece of fruit. Have a snack a few hours later, either a homemade smoothie or a handful or 2 of nuts. For lunch, make yourself a little bento box with 1 whole wheat pita cut into bite-size pieces, chopped chicken, hummus, carrots and celery. You can also have a plain yogurt or low-fat Laughing Cow cheese wedge for a perfectly rounded meal. Hopefully that will tide you over 'til dinner, but if not, have a banana before your early evening workout. Then come home and treat yourself to a plate of grilled, baked or poached chicken breast (without the skin) and a hefty green side salad. 1 square of dark chocolate is okay for dessert.
