I’ve been trying to lose 30ish pounds now for some time and nothing has really inspired me to continue any eating plan. But last week Heidi and I were watching Alton Brown (which we do love so) and he laid out an eating plan that seems simple enough to follow. I will eat from the daily list every day, the 3 times a week at least that often, from the once a week list no more than that and the never list… well, never.

Daily

• Fruits
• Whole Grains
• Leafy Greens
• Nuts
• Carrots
• Green Tea

3 times a week

• Oily Fish
• Yogurt
• Broccoli
• Sweet Potato
• Avocado

Once a week

• Red meat
• Pasta
• Dessert
• Alcohol

Never

• Fast Food
• Soda
• Processed meals/frozen dinners
• Canned soup
• “Diet” anything

Eat breakfast every day, no exceptions.

Like I said, I haven’t been able to stick to a real plan, but this one seems simple enough. Plus, I still get some great food. Like his Sherried Sardine Toast.
