Simplify.

This is what I encourage my coaching clients to do when they are in a busy season of life. 

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 great progress...

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 2 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,
