WHY ISN’T THIS CHALLENGE FREE? WHY DO WE HAVE TO AVOID DAIRY? I THOUGHT MILK WAS GOOD FOR US.

grains during the challenge and notice if you feel better. If you’re hungry eat some healthy fats like avocados!
SO WHAT SHOULD MY MEALS LOOK LIKE DURING THE CHALLENGE?
Think lean proteins, vegetables, fruits, healthy fats and some nuts and seeds. For breakfast try an egg or two
with greens like spinach, onions, tomatoes or mushrooms. Just sauté the vegetables in a little olive or coconut
oil, then mix in the lightly beaten eggs and cook through. You can even make this the night before. Lunch might
be a big salad with tuna or grilled chicken. If you prefer a warmer meal, saute some broccoli or other greens
and add chicken or tempeh. Same thing for dinner! Steam, bake or saute your favorite vegetables then add fish,
poultry, meat or go vegetarian. Snacks can be 1/4 cup nuts and a piece of fruit, or try a green smoothie with
frozen fruit, kale or spinach and water or coconut water. It’s pretty simple really, but you’ll have to do a little
pre-planning to be sure you have all your ingredients on hand.
