Good evening everyone or should I say goodnight. I know it’s crazy late, but I really wanted to get this post out to you today. It’s Wednesday so I am linking up with Jenn for What I Ate Wednesday and I have a special edition for you today.

As, you know this past month has been birthday celebration after celebration so I have consumed a ton of cake and sweet treats. Therefore, I decided I needed to get back on track and kind of detox. Now, most of the time when you hear detox you are thinking juicing or fasting. I did no such thing. I simply ate a diet consisting of healthier food and a lot of protein. I found this lean out mini meal plan by blogilates and I thought it sounded perfect for what I wanted to achieve. I only did this plan for 3 days, not 7 like recommend but that was plenty. I tweaked it a little, so I will share with you how I made it fit my food preferences and lifestyle. Here is what my days looked like.

Meal #1 – 7:00am

I made my PB Protein shake after my morning workout. (This is her meal #4)

Meal #2 – 9:00am

I ate half a batch of my pumpkin protein pancakes. (This is basically her meals #1 & #6; I simply made them more fun, by combining the ingredients into pancakes.)

Meal #3 – 12:00pm

4oz of grilled chicken breast with green beans (This is her meal #2)

Meal #4 – 3:00pm

4oz deli turkey breast with carrots and hummus (This is her meal #5)

Meal #5 – 5:30pm

4oz grilled chicken and a dry baked sweet potato. I also added in simple salad. (This is her meal #3)

Meal #6 – 7:30pm

I finished the second half of my pumpkin protein pancake recipe.

Okay, so that was pretty much my day for the past few days. It did get slightly boring by day 3 and I was ready to be done. But, I simply liked getting out of the habit of snacking too often throughout the day. I never felt hungry because I was eating every few hours, but it was always healthy. One thing I learned from this meal plan is that I need to eat more of a meal for lunch. If you look back at my past what I ate Wednesday posts I would grab turkey or half a peanut butter and jelly. Those are great but eating a complete meal definitely works better for me. I really liked the dedication and focus it took to eat very clean these past few days and will definitely do this again when I feel I need a little cleaning up in my diet.
