For those people who have been asking for a typical weekly menu I’ve put together a couple of weeks worth of everything that passed my lips! As you can see, I’m not 100% ‘good’ 100% of the time. I operate a roughly 80-20 rule and some days are more indulgent than others – as are some weeks. If you’re working towards a goal such as losing fat or reducing cholesterol levels then it’s best to be as strict as you possibly can, but once you get to where you are happy you can slacken of the reins a little! When I want to tighten ‘things’ (aka the flabby bits) up again I simply cut out the sweet treats and booze and reduce the snacks.
Everything you see below is homemade unless otherwise stated, but to save myself time I tend to do some batch cooking and use up leftovers for lunches and busy days.
