10-Day Meal Plan

Welcome to the 10-Day Fall into Clean Eating Challenge!
Created by Nicole Field, Team Beachbody Coach




I am so thrilled that you are committing to feeding your body the best foods.  You will feel the difference  


It’s not a diet; it’s a lifestyle that provides the body with healthy, natural (organic), nutrient-dense foods.  When feeding your body the best, there are some incredible benefits: you’ll think more clearly, have better muscle tone, absorb nutrients more efficiently, energy levels will soar, sleeping patterns will improve.  Also, healthy foods also promote cell growth and because of this your skin, hair, and nails will be happier.  Sooo many benefits.


So here is a 10-day plan.   It’s up to you in terms of how to use.  I can work with to create something different too.  Just know, the main aspects of clean eating are:
1. Choose fresh, unprocessed foods
2. Incorporate whole grains like brown rice or millet over processed grains.
3. Eat lean meats, and choose organic or grass fed meats when possible as these foods are usually clean of pesticides, hormones and additives. Grill, broil or steam your meats rather than frying.
4. Avoid sodas and high calorie, sugary drinks.
5. Trade bad fats for good fats.
6. Eat several small meals to keep blood sugar stable and to avoid overeating.

2 lbs lean stewing beef
1 whole onion, sliced

2-3 celery stalks, chopped
3 medium sized yams, cubed with skin on
2-3 cups low sodium beef stock (on the lower end if you want it not so soupy)
1 can so salt added crushed tomatoes
2 tsp pepper
2 tsp italian seasoning
1 bag organic frozen peas (optional)
1. Brown stewing beef in skillet- you can add a splash of olive oil if you want, but I find that it cooks in it's own juices great.
2. Combine all ingredients except peas in crock pot (including beef) and mix well so spices are incorporated.
3. Cook on high for 8 hours.
4. About 10 minutes before you're ready to eat, add peas and close lid of crock pot. Allow to warm for 8-10 minutes until peas are warm.
