What's For Dinner?

Cycle 1

Day 61

Hey Diary,

 

 

What's for dinner?  Oftentimes, since I have been on the JJ Virgin Diet program, I have been asked, soooo,  what's do you eat for dinner?  For me, aside, from my breakfast smoothies, dinner is one of my most favorite meals of the day. 

Planning my dinner menus was challenging at first, however, as time went on, I became so much easier. The most important thing to remember is to eat from the Virgin Diet Plate. JJ Virgin recommendation is to use the Virgin Plate to assemble my meals.

Here is exactly how I do it!

 

 

 

I use the Virgin Plate as my "cheap sheet", because helps me maintain balanced meals and better practice portion control.

So, to start with, I see the plate consist five elements which are:

1. Clean, lean proteins (slows down stomach emptying, make me feeling full and satisfied)
2. Healthy fats(release chemicals to the brain that says "I'm full".)
3. Nuts
4. High fiber, low glycemic carbs(slow releases sugar for energy)
5. Nonstarchy vegetables(Antioxidant that I can have lots and lots of, and it gives me a full feeling)

So, what's for dinner? JJ Virgin's Golden Rules For Protein are:

• Lean red meat 3-4 times a week with a focus on game and lamb. The rest of the protein from chicken, fish, turkey and the Virgin Diet smoothies. Stick with grass-fed beef, pork and lamb and free-range chicken and turkey-not commercial animal that are fed corn and soy. (very important)
• Nonstarchy vegetables should always be organically grown. (Look for organic labels) 
• High fiber -low glycemic index fruit-Go organic

To assemble my dinner plate, I need to have meat-clean lean protein- grass-fed lamb, beef or pork, and brown rice, that's my high-fiber, low glycemic carbs, and organic green beans, my nonstarchy vegetables (by the way, in looking at the portion sizes on the Virgin Diet Plate, I can have lots of this, Yeah!) Remember portion size when preparing meals the dinner plate.
