Wim's Nutrition Plan

A few days ago, one of our boot camp regulars (and rock star members!), Wim, emailed me.  He wrote:
“Your blog post on “Don’t depend on will power” inspired me to write my own 1-page life nutrition plan! And think up ways to have a sustainable lifelong nutrition plan that isn’t crazy strict or at risk of caving in due to boredom or rebellion or other mental self-sabotage. I need something that works for me. I like your idea of putting some simple rules together.”
Wim has graciously allowed me to share his personal eating plan.  Thanks for sharing Wim!  I know your steps will help others create their own plan that works for them!

  • Eat more often by having a healthy snack between main meals.
