A WHOLE FOODS PLAN TO HELP YOU SLIM DOWN LIKE MOLLY DID

-

Breakfast

Omelet (2 eggs, 2 egg whites, olive oil, spinach, onion, mushrooms, red pepper) with avocado

Starting the day with protein, healthy fats and fiber promotes energy, dietitian Leslie Bonci says.

Breakfast smoothie: Vanilla protein powder, avocado, unsweetene­d almond milk, chia seeds, spinach, blueberrie­s, lemon juice, crushed ice

Lunch

Salad: Romaine, cabbage, radish, tomatoes, pickled shallot, chives, avocado, crumbled feta*

Loading up on fiber- and fluid-rich veggies will keep you satisfied for hours, Bonci says.

Superfood salad: Baby spinach, quinoa, red cabbage, blueberrie­s or pomegranat­e seeds, Brazil nuts, broccoli sprouts, wild salmon, avocado*

Dinner

4 to 6 oz. wild salmon fillet; asparagus; turmeric roasted cauliflowe­r with raisins, capers and quinoa*

Curcumin, an antiinflam­matory in turmeric, helps promote weight loss, research has found.

Balsamic-herb flank steak, prepared on the grill, served with sides of sautéed zucchini with shallots and ½ baked sweet potato*

Snack

A.M.: Small apple, 1 tbsp. almond butter P.M.: Gingerbrea­d Bliss Balls*

The combo of protein and produce helps you maintain energy and limit hunger between meals.

A.M.: 1 hard-boiled egg, 1 raw carrot P.M.: Crunchy, savory chickpeas (roasted in the oven and left in to dry out and become crisp)*
