See although we will be eating eggs and nuts, not so sure my kids will be on board. Today is day 1, 10/20/14. We planned it this way, so that we can have a healthy holiday season and still enjoy pumpkin pie.
Day 1. went well. I think the key will be a large variety, to help stave off the "cupcake" cravings. My kids laughed at our food, stole my fruit salad and ate Mac n cheese for dinner.
Day 2. well, this was interetsting, of course my second day, I have a lunch planned..I went with clear broth soup with kale and sausage, and some potato, which I know is not on the list, but it was the closest I could get. I also had salad with no croutons, or cheese. I loaded up with an egg and nuts before I left, for breakfast, so I was great! Dinner was some grilled chicken, carrots and cucumbers. I had a meeting at night, and the Giants won the first game of the World Series, so we celebrated with cold pressed cherry juice spritzers, some fancy meat and mangoes. I was super happy with my food. So far so good.
Day 3. So not too bad, actually it was great. I have some super tasty food to look forward too!

Day 4. Today was rough. I have spent over $300 on groceries this week, my banana, almond, coconut batter exploded all over my kitchen and I found a spider web in my raw organic cashew. My kids don't eat any of the food my husband and I are eating, so that means 2 different dinners each night. Yes I can let them go hungry, but over cauliflower rice? I'm not craving sweets or bread, I'm craving food that doesn't take 2 hours to prep and cook. I'm craving someone else being able to cook.
Day 5. Assorted nuts and fruits for lunch. Iced coffee and after looking at this meal plan, the cost and time...I'm going to give this a try again at another time.
So here is the thing. This is a great plan, for people who live alone, or don't have 2 young kids who want to scratch each others eyes out, like rabid cats. We gave it a go, but my focus needs to be on kindergarten homework, not 3 hours to make dinner. Am I going to eat a cookie? Maybe, but maybe I'll still have an apple. Am I bummed? Uh...no...I'm relieved.
Our new menu has made our kids a bit more adventurous, they now really like Harvati cheese and chicken quesadillas, none of which I could eat, so I'm not sure how that happened, but cool.
It's 10:15pm.
