Bright Line Eating Meal Plan
Greetings Church, here is the simple diet that I promised and was so effective for me and Cindy.
The book is called Bright Line Eating by Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson. The basics behind Bright Line Eating is a simple, structured approach to eating that helps bring clarity and self-control around food.
Rather than relying on constant willpower, it uses clear boundaries to remove confusion and reduce unhealthy patterns. Our goal is not perfection or rule-keeping, but freedom, learning to steward our bodies well so our appetites don't rule us.
These guidelines are meant to serve us, not condemn us, and support a healthier, more disciplined life as we continue to grow spiritually and physically.
The book is wonderful if you want to buy it, but here is the jest of the eating plan that Cindy and I took part in.
First, we bought a cheap food scale.
Men:
Breakfast:
6oz protein
6oz fruit
1 Grain (We usually did a slice of toast)
Lunch:
6oz protein
6oz fruit
6oz veggies
1 fat
Dinner:
6oz protein
6oz veggies
8oz salad (or a total of 14oz of veggies)
1 fat
Ladies: everything is the same except you will have 4oz of protein at each meal.
Water to drink only, NO SUGAR or SUBSTITUTE SUGAR.
Cindy and I also do our best to get away from margarine and oils. We use either water or real butter or animal fat such as beef tallow.
This is not as strict as the book suggests, but it worked well for us.
You will see results within 2 weeks if you stick to this and don't cheat. It's also a lot more food than you think.
