Hi, squad!

Below is how I recommend you eat during 1 Month Mission.

If you live in the Los Angeles area, you know I am a giant believer in Klean LA's meal prep delivery service (use code LACEYSTONE25 for $25 off any program). If you don't live here, I encourage you to commit to eating clean without exception for the next month. What does "clean" mean? Throughout the day, you will eat 4 small but nutrient-dense meals that fit into a 24 oz. container and consist of:

-palm-of-the-hand-sized protein
-1/4 cup of healthy fats
-1/4 cup of carbs
-as much non-starchy vegetables as you want
-WATER, WATER, WATER 

I'd love for you to share any local, healthy meal delivery services to your area you've found success with, as well! Some of your fellow squad members may not have heard about them. :)

As someone living on a budget (and mostly cooking at home), I love Imperfect Produce! Its a fully customizable weekly produce box thats heavily discounted because the produce either doesn't meet supermarkets strict aesthetic guidelines (ie apples that are "too large", oranges that have slight scarring on the peel, etc) or its just overstock! My box of all organic produce is massive, and it's only $30 including delivery! I love getting to save money on organic food while also fighting food waste! :)

Yes Eden I looove Imperfect Produce! I get the small box of the variety and it's been a great addition to my meal prepping! These portions help so much too thank you! I read 1/4 cup healthy fats and genuinely tried to reason with myself on why 1/4 PB is not the right move for this. Nightly before bed haha

I bought some of the 24 oz “magic boxes” to help control my portion sizes. Hurray!

Hey Suzanne! I'm pumped to have you on the squad. I love your ideas. I'm not a huge fan of fruit other than bananas after workouts and apples as snacks.

Every meal you should have protein, LOTS of veggies, an 1/8 cup of healthy fat carbs sparingly. I like the hummus idea just need to make sure you only have about an 1/8 of a cup. Midday is all about the salads. I have 1 to 2 salads a day. Vegetables give me so much energy I feel like Popeye The Sailor man. That mean palm of the hand protein source, LOADS of veggies and an 1/8 salad dressing. I usually use oil and vinegar. Do you like veggies?

I do like veggies and spent the evening prepping tons of veggies for the next few days. I’ll remeasure my hummus and make sure it is no more than 1/8 cup. Or I’ll sub for a palm size of grilled chicken (prepared 4 chicken breasts today). Quick question on the hummus... I’m guessing that’s not a protein source but treat it like a healthy fat? I also planned on using avocados as a healthy fat.
Planning tons of salads then. Also hard boiled some eggs hoping that could be a good protein source. I know these are basic things but I’m such a novice. I didn’t get this ass by eating healthy and working out. But that all changes now.

Hi! Just read through all of the info... I am curious about no coffee on an empty stomach... can u tell me more about why this is important? I usually have coffee before anything else!

I’m excited about the next 4 weeks!! I feel that my biggest challenge is the nutrition. I don’t have lots of weight to lose but I need to build muscle. I love carbs and so I need to modify things a little! 😜. What protein supplement do you recommend for post workout? Would this be included as one of the 4 meals? Clean/ Diary free protein powder? Thank you!! Looking forward to this journey.

Hey hey! I'm excited you're excited!!!

A protein shake would be considered one of your four meals.

I like Aloha plant based Protein Powder. I also like Garden of Life Raw Organic Fit.

Let me know if you need anything else Ruiz XOXOXO

Hi! So excited to be going on this journey with all of you. I'm a newly divorced single mom who lives with my dad and baby (SEXY!) and am SOOOOO ready to get my butt back in gear. Because I'm living at home (no rent, woo woo) I decided to splurge on a meal delivery service called Z.E.N. Foods here in Los Angeles. I am on their weight loss program, and it seems to be going well so far. Will keep you posted!

XO,
Madison

Lacey, what is your position on natural peanut butter as a healthy fat?

Hi Lacey,

what are your thoughts on intermittent fasting?

thanks!

Suzanne I wanted to respond to your post but for some reason my response isn't showing. What I wanted to say is that I relate to your post so much, finding balance was the reason I started Lacey's camps. Balance in food and working out, balance in life! Lacey's always told us that it's about the long game, making this a lifestyle outside of camps because that's how you maintain results and reach goals and it's SO true! You already get it, your positivity will guide you through, trust. And cheers to getting your shit back together, lets really get after it this week xoxo
