3 Day Jump Start

We all have those weeks/months/seasons where we don't eat like we should or are a little more lax in our diet than usual.  When this happens to me, and I realize it's time for a change, I find the easiest way is to jump in feet first.  I spend 3 days really cleaning out my pantry, and only eating super clean, low carb and low sugar to really got my body prepared and used to this healthier way of eating.  

During the 3 days I focus on tons of water, vegetables, fruits, clean proteins, and food that give me the most nutritional bang for my buck.  My calorie intake is slightly lower than usual these days, but it is certainly not a starvation diet.  It is just enough to bump my metabolism and kick start my body.

After the 3 days I am super ready to get back into the clean and healthy lifestyle.  Not only have I prepared myself emotionally, but my body is primed for all the good nutritious food, and I've broken through the sugar and carb addiction.  If you like more information on my 3 Day Jump Start, please contact me or message me on Facebook!

Breakfast Deviled Eggs

I have only recently learned to eat hard boiled eggs.  My mother hates eggs, and she only ever made me scrambled eggs as a child. Lately I have lamented the fact that I don't like hard boiled eggs, and how much easier breakfast would be if I did.  So I decided to start with deviled eggs.  I just kept trying them, and finally yesterday I liked them.  This gave me hope, so this morning when my niece said she'd like a hard boiled egg white,  I attempted a breakfast deviled egg for myself.

While I enjoyed a regular deviled egg at dinner, I didn't think mustard and mayo were going to be appetizing for breakfast.  I also wanted a recipe that was 21 Day Fix friendly.  So, I swapped the mayo and mustard for ricotta cheese.  I used about 1/2 TBSP per egg (roughly equal parts yolk to ricotta).  I mashed it together with a fork and add a small amount of salt and pepper.

I then topped each egg white shell with the yolk and ricotta mixture.  There was a little more filling than the usual deviled egg, but it felt like the perfect yolk to white ratio to me! I count 3 halves as 1 red container 21 Day Fix container (since 2 whole eggs equal 1 red, or 3/4 cup ricotta). If you'd like more information about the 21 Day Fix, please feel free to contact me!
