Day Two is The Real Test

For Breakfast I had aslice of this cinnamon raisin toast, as you you can see on the front of it there is a scripture Ezekiel 4:9 and that's because this scripture just describes exactly how the bread is madeits a flour less low glycemic whole grain bread. Don't let the description turn you away this bread is great with a quick pop in the toaster and a low fat spread on it you are good to go. You can find this at any grocery store in the organic frozen food section. I also added a bowl of oatmeal with some brown sugar and some grapefruit so I was full for a while and also had my fruit.

For Lunch I had a really hearty white bean soup that I made last night I got the recipe from the Boston Globe website it called for Great Northern Beans , Celery, Carrots, Onions and you want to soak the beans for at least 30mins to a couple of hours if you can overnight and before you get the beans in mix the veggies together with a little bit of olive oil to sauté them and then you get everything in the pot and bring it it to a boil for an hour or two or until the beans soften. You are definitely going to want to season it to your taste but REMEMBER to keep the salt to a point where it's just enough we don't need high blood pressure. At the end I did put a little bit of chicken broth in to just to season it some more.

Above you see the organic whole grain spaghetti, the organic Italian herb tomato sauce and the tofurky sausage. This was my dinner once again don't be afraid of the Tofurky sausage I knew when something is new to we tend to shrink back and think " Puh-Lease I am not about to try that mess that isn't even going to taste like the real thing." But not only does the sausage have 50% less fat than regular sausage but it taste great with the sauce and the noodles. With this I decided to make it noodles with a "meat" sauce on top. I got everything from Whole Foods, I know this too can be a little bit costly but you can like always go to any grocery store and just search for the whole grain noodles and the tofurky. If you decide you do not want an organic sauce just make sure to look for one with a low caloric content as well fat content per serving. READ ALL LABELS people may stare at you but who cares this is your decision to invest time in your health and your ideal weight. This meal is quick and easy I cut up peppers and onions to put in my sauce as well.

QUICK IDEAS FOR A GREAT BREAKFAST:

OATMEAL (WITHOUT ALL THE SUGAR, ADD YOUR OWN FRUIT OR EVEN RAISINS JUST LIKE McDONALDS JUST CHEAPER AND A HEALTHIER)

FRUIT (CUT IT UP THE NIGHT BEFORE AND TAKE IT WITH YOU ON THE RIDE TO WORK AND IF YOU NEED TO THROW IN SOME WHOLE WHEAT TOAST BUT AGAIN READ THE LABEL)

YOGURT AND LOW FAT GRANOLA( DON'T LET GRANOLA FOOL YOU IT CAN BE PACKED WITH SUGAR WHICH WOULD SET YOU BACK ) I LIKE CHOBANI GREEK YOGURT WITH GRANOLA, OR IF YOU WANT A CHEAP LOW FAT OPTION ANY DANNON OR YOPLAIT LIGHT AND FIT WORKS.
