WEEK 1- Low Carb Diet Meal Plan

I thought this would be the easiest way to have you see what I ate this week. I mixed and matched all the recipes here to include 2 snacks, breakfast, lunch and dinner. I ate what I felt like eating and kept it pretty loose you can say. 
I followed this and saw amazing results. Make sure you're subscribed to my YouTube Channel - lil Piece of Hart so you can follow me along my journey. Also follow my blog so you can see when I post new recipes and videos!

*If you are hungry after you eat a meal or a snack my best advice would be to wait 10 minutes and see if you are still hungry. Sometimes it takes our bodies time to recognize that we ate enough and we are full. If you're still hungry have another snack or an extra serving of the vegetable portion of your meal.
*I have included links to all of the items below that reference a recipe of mine. Click on the colored word and it will take you to the full recipe so you can see exactly how to make it. 

*In parenthesis I explain the grams per serving because you might not be buying the exact same brand of cheese or cream cheese I am, which is fine- just make sure you check your labels so you are not eating more carbs than you want to.
