So make sure you get in your protein – shakes, Greek Yogurt, lean beef, chicken … It takes more energy for your body to digest protein and that extra energy burns more calories!

Grilled Steak
Onion
Cheese
Ezekiel Tortilla
Homemade Salsa

If you want to have a great lunch try this Taco.  It is made with the leanest meat, grilled with your favorite spices.
I used Ezekiel Tortillas and shredded cheese.  For toppings you can add homemade salsa and sour cream.   I made a small lettuce and tomato side.
You could use this recipe in Phase 2 VLCD Simeons protocol if you remove the tortilla and put on a bed of lettuce with the steak and homemade salsa.
I have been purchasing a great homemade salsa from the deli that is all natural and no additives and sugar free.
