This was such a helpful list for me! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this - great ideas! My phase 1 meals have gotten a little blah, so I needed this!
ReplyDeleteI just started the maker's diet today. I made your grain free blueberry muffins and they are awesome. My daughter says they taste like something you would buy at Starbucks. Thank you for sharing. I was worried I'd be eating eggs every day (I like eggs but not that much).
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! I am starting this diet with my husband this Friday to lose weight and get healthy!
ReplyDeleteI have done the makers diet before and loved it, however I never really meal planned and of course fell back into my bad eating habits. This time with the good Lord's help, I will do it right this time. So thank you so much for these wonderful ideas! I feel like I'm off to a good start now and cant wait to begin my new healthy lifestyle!
ReplyDeleteI am going to be starting the makers diet soon and want to thank you in advance for your blog. I love that you have created a menu list with a variety of options. It's May7, 2014 and I wonder if you are still following the makers diet ~ lifestyle :0) Lady Valiant
ReplyDeletecan I ask - how many servings can you have? How many eggs, etc? It doesn't really explain the portions?

ReplyDeleteEating a lot of protein and then junk food is counterproductive to healing a hormonal imbalance. best weight loss pills at http://supplements-factory.org/
