I was given a free one month subscription to Weight Watchers to try their new Simple Start plan and write about my experience. Though I was compensated for my time and commitment, all views, positive and negative, are my own.

Last week, I shared with you about a new program with Weight Watchers called Simple Start. I am in the works of using the program and this week I have been trying out some of the recipe and meal ideas that Simple Start provides.

This week, I have been really focusing on the food aspect. Simple Start does not require you to measure or keep track of points. It’s really focusing on getting the eating habits back in check. There are many recipe ideas that you can find on either the website or the app. My favorites so far are the breakfast foods.

I used to be really good at eating a healthy breakfast then we got so busy lately, I’m usually grabbing a protein bar and running out the door. I have been trying to get more protein into my breakfast including eating some low fat cottage cheese and eggs for breakfast. My favorite though on the breakfast menu for Simple Start is the toast with cheese and fruit. It’s tasty, delicious, and sweet! It’s also healthy and can easily be paired with some scrambled egg whites for a boost of extra protein.

I decided though to focus on making a lunch or dinner item. I slack off the most at lunch so although I chose a dinner item, I felt like this would make for a good lunch.

I decided to try out the Veggie Lettuce Wraps. They were so tasty! It’s a very simple, basic recipe that can be tailored to your taste by adding a variety of spices.

I was pretty excited to try the meat alternative that the recipe calls for, then as I was cooking it I realized it had wheat in it. So, I decided to give those to my husband and make myself some with chicken breast that I had already shredded earlier in the week. They were perfect and filling! Of course I could eat plates and plates of lettuce wraps, but my husband and I both enjoyed them.
