My wife and I are in a very busy season of life. I feel like it's "Go, go, go".

So during this busy season, I let myself off the hook and I want to do the same for you.

Listen - in a perfect world, eating a variety of fruits and veggies would be great.

But if you're in a busy season of your life, it's perfectly OK to repeat the same meals/snacks so you're not so overwhelmed.

Here are some ways to simplify your approach so you're not so overwhelmed, yet still make better decisions VS fast food, etc.

A) Stick with 2 options for breakfast (if you eat breakfast - I am personally an intermittent faster :)

B) Stick with 2 options for lunch 

C) You can do the same for dinner OR this is where you can do something different every night if you have a little more time

D) 2 options for an optional snack (example: Handful of pistachios OR apple with nut butter)

This means less time prepping, shopping, and even thinking. 

So you would buy 3-5 apples, and a bag of pistachios (and if you have trouble sticking to one serving, invest a whopping 3 minutes to put single servings in Ziploc bags). 

Boom - your snack shopping for the week is done (same for breakfasts/lunches).

It might look something like this:

Breakfast/Lunch/Snack: Option 1 (Mon/Wed/Fri), Option 2 (Tue/Thu)
Rinse and repeat

OR...

Week 1: Option 1
Week 2: Option 2
Rinse and repeat

You can change this up every 2 weeks or until you get bored. (Remember, food was never meant to "entertain" you anyway ;)

Progress, not perfection.

By the way, you can even use this method with my 14-Day Midlife Meltdown 

That's why it's a simple template and not a meal plan - very flexible ;)

And have you seen these results people are experiencing? It's crazy good.

Later tater,
