Aug 7-13, 2023 Midwest-Inspired Meal Plan, Recipes, Grocery List, FAQs, and Product Recommendations

Welcome to this week's meal plan.

Midwest food is known for its hearty meals, use of fresh, local ingredients, and its sense of tradition. It's about comfort, warmth, and bringing people together. Adapting the principles and nutrition of the Mediterranean diet, our Midwest meal plan focused on lean proteins like meat and chicken, fresh veggies, and hearty flavors while cutting down on processed foods. This is entirely in line with the SOZA Weight Loss program.

To bring a touch of Midwest warmth to your meals, here's a quick overview of our Midwest meal plan:

Start your mornings with dishes like a Denver-style omelet filled with lean ham, bell peppers, and low-fat cheese or a cottage cheese parfait topped with fresh berries.

Savor a low-carb Cincinnati-Style Bison Chilli or a class Grilled Chicken Salad for a protein-rich midday meal.

Savor the essence of Midwestern cuisine with our Bison Meatloaf paired with a side of roasted brussels sprouts or a Grilled Walleye with a tangy, fresh cucumber salad.

Snack smart with apples, berries, and veggie sticks, keeping it simple.

We're sure that this plan will make your meals exciting and help you with your weight loss goals. It's a great example of how you can mix the healthy ideas of the Mediterranean diet with the cozy, satisfying tastes of Midwest cooking.

Here's to your continued health,
