Eating 6 small meals a day is how Jill Knapp lost 100 pounds

(New York )

I was blessed to do a interview with Jill Knapp over the summer. I have started this way of eating and have lost 32 pounds myself. Had to share this.

Jill found out she had type 2 diabetes after her 3rd child was born. She set out to change her lifestyle and that is exactly what she did.

This was her basic food plan which she stuck to and she continues to eat this way to this day.

Breakfast
Raspberry, Flax-seed protein shake. As seen on Dr OZ ~ You want your morning to have a fiber punch to keep you full and regular.

Ingredients serve 4
15 to 20 frozen or fresh raspberries
1 banana
2 scoop of vanilla or strawberry protein powder.
1/2 cup orange juice.
1 small handful of fresh spinach. The nice thing about the spinach is that you can’t taste it and your kids would never even know that it is in the shake.
8 baby carrots.
1/4 cup dry oatmeal
1 to 2 teaspoon of flax-seed oil

Add a tiny bit of ice and blend away. You can play around with your shakes. Have fun with them and make them your own. We also add yogurt and apples sometimes. It’s a great way to start the morning.

AM Snack
1/2 apple and 8 almonds

PM Snack
a few handfuls of carrots and a piece of string cheese or a meal replacement protein shake

Lunch
1/2 turkey sandwich loaded with lettuce and tomatoes. whole wheat bread no white!!
veggies

PM Snack
1 protein bar

Dinner
3 ounces chicken breast or Salmon
1 cup wheat pasta with red pasta sauce.
steamed veggies of your choice or bowl of fresh raw veggies

Jill said to take one free day a week. Just not the whole day. One meal of your choice. Anything you want.

Her exercise plan consists of Zumba, Kickboxing and treadmill or elliptical machine.
