The basics...

On the "plan", you have to do some basic things. Let me list them, and I'll go ahead and give you the smoothie recipe.

•  Start your morning with a cup of hot water with half a lemon squeezed in it. This is supposed to trigger your metabolism or something like that.
• You only have a 12 hour window to eat. Dr. Oz says 8 AM - 8 PM. That doesn't work for everybody. If you need to adjust that, awesome. The key is the 12 hours, as well as having several hours between your last food and bedtime.
• Start with a breakfast smoothie. (Recipe below)
• Drink as much vegetable broth as you'd like, but have at least one cup. There's a recipe to make it, but who wants to do that all the time. You can substitute it with Organic Low Sodium Vegetable Broth...store bought.
• Decide what snacks you can/will eat that is reasonable for you. Have that available. I tend to eat carrots and hummus, almonds, some berries. Those are my snacks of choice.
• You can only have water unless you need caffeine. You may have green tea (hot), and I add honey to mine so I can stand it. It's pretty good that way.

Breakfast Smoothie
2 Tbs rice protein (GNC has this. Rodney hates the taste so we compromise and buy a bag of rice protein with a berry flavor and mix them so it's okay.)
2 Tbs flax seed (also at GNC)
1/2 cup frozen berries (so you don't have to use ice)
1/2 banana
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
