January 1 is the start of a new eat planning. Again. I have all the recipes, knowledge, reason to do this. Now I just need to get organized and do it! My first attempt at a meal plan is to keep my daily carbs around 21g or less as well as calories under 2000. Seems easy, right? Well, this low carb meal plan for 7 days was a labor of love as it became extremely obvious to me why I fail when I don't plan my meals for the week.
For the first week, I am focusing on a pork-based diet to "root in a new year" on the right protein. For many of these recipes, ground pork is used. Ground pork can be found in the grocery store in the fresh pork section. Normally in the top of the meat case. Become familiar with the meat case with this diet. If you are wondering what to have in your kitchen to be successful on the low carb diet, be sure to check out how to stock your kitchen for the low carb or keto diet.
I have put macro counts with each item and totals for the day. This is based on information I am pulling from CarbManager. Each day I plan on having two snacks plus a treat. This could be a sweet treat or drink. PEOPLE!!! I am human, and I want this to work. So, no I am not quitting coffee, booze, or chocolate. I am just being smarter about it. Hyperlinks to recipes are in the title here in the blog post as well as in the pdf of the recipe plan.
