Three days’ worth—three thumbs up = success for three days, two thumbs up = success for two days, etc.:
MWL plan:
1. Start each meal with a soup and/or salad and/or fruit.
2. Follow the 50/50 plate method for your meals, filling half your plate (by visual volume) with non-starchy vegetables and 50% (by visual volume) with minimally processed starches. Choose fruit for dessert.
3. Greatly reduce or eliminate added sugars and added salts. This includes gourmet sugars and salts too. If either is troublesome for you, you can eliminate them.
4. Eliminate all animal foods (dairy, meat, eggs, fish, seafood).
5. Eliminate all higher fat plant foods (i.e., nuts, seeds, avocados, tofu, soy).
6. Eliminate any added oil.
7. Eliminate all higher calorie-dense foods including flour products (i.e. bread, bagels, muffins, crackers, dry cereals, cookies, cakes), puffed cereals, air-popped popcorn and dried fruit.
8. Don’t drink your calories (especially from juices & sugar-sweetened beverages).
9. Follow these principles, eating whenever you are hungry until you are comfortably full. Don’t starve yourself and don’t stuff yourself.
10. Avoid being sedentary and aim for at least 30 minutes or more of moderate exercise daily (i.e., brisk walking).

Figuring out what to do on Friday would have helped some...picked up some fast food version of vegan burritos while trying to get from point A to point B...
Exercise…
Worked 1+ hour lawn mowing and weed eating Wednesday; 40 minute run on Thursday; 10 minutes stationary bike and 30+ minutes strenuous yoga on Friday. Today my wife and I may go on a hike...
Side-comment…
"Discovered" S&B Oriental Curry Powder and it is nice in canned tomatoes with a little crushed dried chili, veggies and rice medley...plan to pick some up on Monday...
