Tonight my awesome street went to dinner at Ruggels Green to kick of summer. I ❤️ our street, have I said that before? 😂. And I love this salad too!! "Oh Kale Yeah" with a protein added (Salmon medium rare).  If you eat clean, this is 100% spot on. 

They say 70% of weight loss is a result of what you eat. That's why following the Shift Shop meal plan has been so important! I'm really enjoying this NEW take on the container plan from the 21 Day Fix. Over the 3 weeks, the workouts get harder and longer a little at a time, while at the same time, we are slowly ramping DOWN our carbs and ramping UP our fat and protein.

I've never tried a carb depletion diet before, and I have to say, it has been a lot easier than I thought it would be!

My body feels completely happy with all the other fats, proteins and greens that I'm getting, so I'm actually just fine with the amount of carbs so far!

Next week we go completely carb-free for our last week of round 1!! 😬😱

Then we add a low level of carbs back in for round 2 of the test group. Hoping I can pull that off while traveling the world 🤗 Our bodies need carbs, so going completely carb-free should only be done for a short time in my opinion. This has been a fun process for me and I'm learning a ton along the way!  Read more about carb depletion benefits and risks HERE.
