6 Week Body Makeover Sample Recipes

By James Kim

Losing weight doesn't have to be boring. You should be the master of your food choices and shouldn't let your diet cripple your lifestyle. The 6 Week Body Makeover diet has an infinite amount of recipes that you can use to eat delicious foods while losing weight. This article will go over a few meals that you can eat for lunch while on the body makeover diet.

The Savory Asian Stir Fry is a great recipe that involves a little protein plus many vegetables. Here is the complete recipe for this delicious dish. You will need one half pound of skinless chicken breast that is cut in 1 inch cubes. The rest of the ingredients are as following: 1/3 cup of water, 1 cup broccoli florets, 1 cup snow peas, 1 cup mushrooms, cup water chestnuts, cup bamboo shoots, 2 Tbsp lemon juice, 4 Tbsp white wine, 2 tsp thyme, 1 tsp of nutmeg and black pepper to taste. This recipe is best for people with an "A" body type, but can be used for all of the body types. Here is how you cook the ingredients listed above.

Cut all the ingredients into inch cubes. Combine all fruit in a large metal bowl and mix thoroughly. Next, dissolve the artificial sweetener and the lime juice. Stir briskly and drizzle the mixture over the fruit. If you have some mint, you can add this into the mixture to give the sauce some "freshness". This recipe is used for body type A & B people so make sure to combine the fruit combinations that are appropriate for your plan. There is an endless variation of fruits you can use.

There are additional variations that are included on recipe cards with the 6 Week Body Makeover. You can make Thai Stir Fry which contain shredded cabbage, onion, celery and carrots. Body Type A people should use shrimp instead of chicken. Use bok choy, red peppers, green onion and mushrooms as veggies.

A great side dish to any lunch meal is the Grilled Veggie Packs. What you will need is 4 russet potatoes that are cut into slices. Cut 4 onions (peeled and sliced) and cut 4 carrots. Additional ingredients are cold water and a dash of black pepper for taste. This is a simple way to grill veggies without the fuss and can be used for backyard barbeques. Plus, everyone can get their own pack of veggies so they can add their own variations on this delicious side dish.

Since we're on the potato topic, here is an easy recipe. Get for 4 potatoes, -1/2 cup chicken broth (make sure there's no sodium) and a dash of black pepper. This is a great dish with your protein portion or you can eat it as one of your snacks. Wash the potatoes and prick the skins with a form. Bake the taters for an hour at 400 until the potatoes are soft. Slice the taters into halves and scoop out the contents. Whip the contents until you have your desired consistency. Add the chicken broth and pepper as desired.
