Dr. Philip Goglia Quick Start plan First Week

I thought i would share Dr. G book. This quick start plan is just to get you started. You should only do this for 3 weeks. It is extremely important to drink water. At least 7-8 daily.

Morning- 1 cup of oatmeal
                Orange or Banana

Morning snack- apple

Lunch- 1/2 cup of rice, 4 oz of chicken or 4 oz of fish, two cups of steamed veggies.

Snack orange

Dinner Fish only, 2 cups of veggies

Night snack, mixed berries

This plan is when you have a event planned and need to lose weight like 20 pounds in 3 weeks.
It is unhealthy to go cold turkey with bread/strarch. Dr. G had our family on a plan similar to this in the first few weeks. The plan will not work if you do not drink the water. If you have sugar cravings eat a few grapes or  a couple pieces of frozen banana or pineapple. 

This is only for 3 weeks just to jump start your metabolism. If you do not like orange or apple you may pick another piece of fruit. But do not over do it on the banana they make you retain water.

In our first month Jerry and I both lost 20 pounds!!!! Patience lost 9 pounds.

All in a day...

Breakfast: Whey Protein shake, with Banana.

Morning snack: apple

Lunch :  Chicken Breast, 1 Tomato,  1 cup of spinach.

Afternoon snack: orange

Dinner: Fish, Brussel sprouts, And roasted red peppers.

And

8 Water  Bottles of  water

Only three more Girl Scout Meetings..

Patience loves her meetings, but I despise the snacks. So tonight I had Patience bring her own snack.
The other moms know the snack is supposed to be Healthy. But I guess animal crackers dipped in icing are healthy?

Anyway...Tonight she brought her own snack. Sliced apples in cinnamon dip. Yea i know it sounds super sweet. But the product was not the regular yogurt. It was very low in sugar.
She was ok with being different. She is actually proud to be healthy.

We ordered Dr. G Book

The book is called Turn Up the heat. by Dr. Philip Goglia
And I plan to share information from the book on my blog. Although Dr. Goglia has helped us along and prepared a personal plan for our family. I had to have the book : )

Spinach chips?

Instead of potato chips for
Patience I  make spinach chips Heat the oven for 375 and place spinach on baking sheet
Slightly drizzel with olive oil. ( not drown)  then season and cook for about 15 minutes.

She loves these, and i dont have any worry . They are crispy. I am sure Popeye would approve. :)

Crock Pot Chicken

,

 Whole Fryer chicken, carrots, onions, celery, Cabbage.
Clean rinse chicken, take out the gross parts...LOL  And season. We used parsley, onion powder, chili powder.

And cook on high for 5 hours in crock pot. No it isn't the typical roast beef meal but it is Little more healthy.
I took Reynolds wrap and made a layer of small balls so the chicken would not lay in the chicken liquid.

After the chicken is done you could take off the fatty skin.  This is a meal Patience approves of.
We shred her chicken and put a Little bit of low sugar baraque sauce. She loves cabbage also. :)
And all the veggies :)

Little Red Riding Hood and the Happy meal...

Patience had a outing with her girl scout troop this morning.They went to a play at  to see Little Riding Hood. It was from money they raised with the Cookie sales.

Anyway after the play they were going to eat out at McDonald the cost of the lunch was included. I had sent extra money for her to be able to get a grilled chicken salad instead of a Happy Meal.

Gosh I wonder how it looked to the other moms. I hope it did not look like we were trying to stand out. I mean I could not see her eating a 300 calorie hamburger, fatty fries, and slurping down a coke.

Patience had no problem eating the Salad...I'm doing the right thing. Regardless of how it looks. I mean if  i sit there and let her eat the silly happy meal who would benefit?
Then other's would have a reason to say thats sad, she is overweight. Her parents should do something.

Sometimes its ok to be different and stand up for what you believe.
