Makers Diet Menu

Ok, I really was kidding that I won't be posting just because Matt's a better writer! I have just been busy! :) Just to catch you up, Matt and I are doing a dietary cleanse. I say dietary because we aren't doing any pills or staying buy the toilet all day for a week! We're just cleaning up our food in a big way. We eat very well on a regular basis, but over Christmas break we ate too much sugar and just too much food in general. So, we're doing the Maker's Diet, a three phase, 40-day diet that basically detoxes your body from all carbs and sugar for a month! Yeah...not easy. But, I've done it before and I feel SO much better. We're not going to take out healthy grains for the boys but they won't be having much/if any sugar at all either! The first two weeks there are no beans except lentils, very few nuts...mainly almonds. No grains, potatoes, cow's dairy (we can have goat's), no pork or shellfish (hence, Maker's Diet). You may notice that I'm doing eggs and veggies every day! I have been eating that for months anyway and I don't get sick of it. I do change it up a bit by adding herbs, goat cheese, making omelets, fried eggs, scrambled, etc. Sorry if it's boring to you, but it's just so much less for me to think about and we love it. Also, again, to make it easier on myself, I always make lots at dinner so there's plenty for leftovers for lunch the next day. So, here's our menu for this first week of the plan:
