Core De Force Meal Plan & Week 4 Update

Core De Force Week 4 Meal Plan is going down today.  Failing to plan is like planning to fail.  When I first heard that phrase I thought it was crazy.  Like seriously…. who plans out there food every week?  I don’t have time for that and seriously, who actually eats what they plan out?  That was my thinking 4 years ago, and I quickly realized after failing over and over at my nutrition that there was truth to meal planning and that I needed to embrace it.  Do I always eat exactly what is on the plan??  NOT AT ALL! But at least I have a plan, I have food in the house and I am empowered and set up for success.  So it’s Sunday and I call this my planning day.  I am sitting here with the Core De Force nutrition guide, my blank meal plan template I created on a spreadsheet, and my grocery list so that I can get my game plan together for the 4th week of Core De Force.

After 4 years of clean eating and exercising I have found my perfect combination.  I have done everything from the The South Beach Diet, The Fat Flush Diet, Eat Right For your Blood Type Diet, 21 Day Fix, Fix Extreme, 3 day refresh (<<btw, you would love this one) and following a Gluten-free diet.  I have found that my body personally responds to food very differently.  I get bloated with dairy and grains, I get mentally foggy and almost an instant headache with refined sugars.  If I eat paleo, stay away from dairy, gluten, and sugars that are artificial I feel my best.  No bloating, no mood swings, no headaches and improved muscle definition and tone.

So here is my “ideal” lifestyle ( even though I love raw cheddar, brie and Elleno’s Greek Yogurt)

• Dairy free
• Gluten Free
• No artificial sugars at all
• No legumes
• Paleo lifestyle

I can share with you the difference is for sure in the results too:

I just don’t have those crazy crashes in my energy level like I did before.  I am not sluggish, I don’t have headaches unless my alignment is out of place, my skin is clearer and I’m just healthier and happier all around.

*Week 4 Core De Force & Paleo/Whole30 eating*

So let’s also talk nutrition.  I am following the Core De Force meal plan. I also really do modify and I don’t always get in the yellows.  I eat maybe 1 per day and I eat more good fats because I follow the Paleo lifestyle.  That is what my body responds to the best. Here is my week 4 meal plan:

I have snacks typically in the afternoon between lunch and dinner and then after dinner I usually need a snack.  I do make my last meal of the day at least 3 hours before bed.  I do not have any kind of carbohydrate after dinner unless it’s the occasional bowl of air-popped popcorn with coconut butter.  Shhhhh 😉

My latest go to snack has been:

-1 honeycrisp apple

-handful of chopped almonds

-sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice

-Microwave for 45 seconds and it’s warm and soft. So good!!!
