Chickpeas, also known as Garbanzo Beans, is very high in protein, thus an excellent food choice for vegetarians, and vegans, and great for Fat Smash Diet folks.
I prefer vinaigrette salads over the ones with mayo, and would easily choose many vegetables over some meats. This Chickpeas Vinaigrette salad is just the perfect combination for me, and you might like it as well.
I already informed you about the Fat Smash Diet, introduced you to the book, posted the food list, and hopefully convinced you to join me, so we can have fun together.
So today is the BIG day, our first day of Detox, and as with anything else in life, first is always the most challenging. It will get easier with each passing day, believe me, because you are building up your confidence, self control, and most of all, you begin to feel better and eat healthier.
I printed out my lists of Recommended and “DO NOT” foods, and posted it on my refrigerator. My food shopping was done on Saturday, and on Sunday I jotted down my basic plan for my daily eating routine and a quick first day menu.
As I mentioned to you in my previous post about the Fat Smash Diet, there are 4 different Phases you go through during this program, and each phase has a list of suggested and excluded foods.
Some of the excluded foods in one phase are being introduced back into your diet in the next phase, so for ideal success, you need to follow these food suggestions, eat 3-4 smaller meals per day, follow the same eating schedule, and continue to exercise.
Just think, this phase is only 9 days long….you can do it!!
My favorite diet to follow is The Fat Smash Diet, however I know many others who prefer the Weight Watchers Diet.
Do whatever works the best for you.
All that matters, is that you eat healthy and stay in motion, so you not only look great, but also feel energized and confident about yourself.
This recipe is from the Fat Smash Diet book, suitable for Phase I of this program, or any time as a healthy choice salad.
