Hi Laira! Congrats on making the decision to do the program!

First of all, you must get to Costco or the freezer section of most grocery

stores. Costco sells a whole bag of grilled chicken breasts that are cut into

strips. Pre-cooked. Just nuke and eat. And they have other precooked food too

(chicken in the lunchmeat section).

Cooking is the best way to go, to avoid excess sodium and other undesirable

stuff. But, if you're looking for a way to do the program without cooking then

buying precooked is the way to go. Then there's Boston Market. We used to buy

the whole turkey breast and eat it over a few days. Or those rotisserie

chickens in the grocery stores - peel off that skin and get to the breast

portions. Some women say put a big pan of chicken in the oven on Sundays and

eat it for a bunch of days (those frozen chicken breast portions work well).

The other day I found smoked lean pork chops (precooked) at costco. Just look

at the nutritional label and cut it down to your portion size.

And then I wanted to say keep it going... what you're doing is learning,

experiencing and adjusting. Make little goals each week - this week I will eat

only what I plan. This week I will prepare everything the night before for the

next day. This week I will shop and buy everything I need. You know, babysteps

to get you to the ultimate goal - eating clean all week.

Good luck, you're doing great! Hang in there because this really does work

(did you see my vent yesterday? I feel better today because of my measurements,

make sure you're measuring!!!).

Hello! This is my second week doing BFL and the workouts are going

well, but I sure am having trouble sticking to the food portion of the

plan! I feel really hungry a lot and end up eating stuff that

isn't " approved. " I don't like a lot of meat. I don't really cook -

I must have quick and convenient. I love the cottage cheese and I

like the protein shakes. Is anyone else not much of a cook (i.e.

absolutely HATES cooking)? I have a bunch of fat to lose, so I can't

have high calories. Yikes!
