A Few of My Favorite Healthy Meals and Where to Buy Them

In my last post, I shared healthy foods to eat and ones to avoid, but readers asked for more specifics like where to shop and what to make for various meals. To follow are some of my favorite things to eat based on what I've learned from reading many books, articles, and listening to podcasts. By following what I've learned I've lost more than 25 pounds and gained muscle.

Where to order healthy online

Fast

Doing the Bulletproof coffee method makes intermittent fasting easy. It will help you lose weight and improve your brain function.

I eat during the hours of 10 - 6 or 11 - 7.

It only took a few days for my body to adjust to fasting. Fasting is a healthier way for us to eat. 

Here’s how to make it.

• Pour your favorite coffee

• 1 - 2 tablespoons of MCT oil and grass fed-butter such as Ghee

• I also add a scoop of collagen powder

• If you like sweetener use monk fruit. This is your healthiest option.

• Blend or use a frother

Breakfast

Don’ts

• Cereal, granola, oat, bars, milk, cheese, waffle, muffin, pancake, bread, toast, processed meat

Do’s

• Eggs, veggies, avocado

• Meat: grass fed, wild, pasture-raised

• Bacon can even be a healthy option

• Chia seed pudding, fruit

• Berries are best

Recipe ideas

Lunch or Dinner

Don’t
