Wow – what a crazy week it’s been and it’s only Wednesday.  As you know, yesterday was the launch of my 6 Week Pregnancy Weight Loss Program.  I have been frantically replying to emails and getting the program into all the right hands.  It is so exciting to see so many of you dive in to the program.  Right before summer too – perfect timing!!

For What-To-Eat Wednesday, I want to share a couple recipes from my 6 Week Pregnancy Weight Loss Program Nutrition Manual.  In the program, you get access to a ton of recipes just like these ones.  These recipes are fantastic for fat loss for a few reasons:
1) They have a great protein/carb/fat balance

3) They taste GREAT, so they won’t leaving you craving junk
