July 2021 Weekly Meal Plans

Hi everyone. How has your summer been going so far? We have had a mixture of rain and sunny days. When we went to the Farmer’s Market on Saturday, it was hot out there. I was glad to get in some good vitamin D and light exercise from walking up and down a hill. Whew! I’m glad I exercise 5 days a week. It really helped me push harder to get up that hill 😁.

My 45th birthday is coming up in a few days (July 3rd). I won’t be having cake but I may get a taste of ice cream somewhere on that day. This will be my only sweet treat. July 4th will be different this year since I’ll be sticking to somewhat Keto when I eat. No buns for my burger or hotdog, no potato salad, no corn on the cobb, or baked beans for me. I’ll still enjoy myself but I’ll work hard to not get off track.

Doing the 20/4 IF method went well. I ended up pushing my eating window to only 2 hours a day. So I fast 22 hours and have 2 hours to eat my meal for the day. The only thing I struggle with is wanting to eat all my food before my eating window closes. It’s crazy because I’m hungry an hour before it’s time for me to eat, then when I eat I get full too quickly. I struggle to finish so that I’ve had an adequate amount to fill me up to sustain me until my next eating window opens. I’m thinking in August I’ll move to the next level (OMAD) and see how that goes. Even though I cook meals for my family, I don’t do the normal breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I pick and chose from what’s prepared and eat whatever I feel like during my eating window.

Here is next month’s menu, short and simple.

Breakfast-
Smoothie (Keto friendly)
Bacon Deviled Eggs
Beef and egg scramble
Breakfast Pizza (crustless)

Lunch-
Keto Sardine Patties
Chicken Salad
Shrimp Scampi over Zoodles
Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Breasts

Dinner-
Instant Pot Chuck roast 
BBQ Chicken Thighs
Rosemary Lamb
Keto Meatloaf muffins

Hope everyone in the U.S. enjoys their 4th of July. Most of all remember to be safe out there.
