Have you wondered about Bright Line Eating!? Today we are sharing all of our tips and tricks for starting Bright Line Eating so you can jump in with both feet running!
[bigletter]We recently shared our weight loss journey that Jake and I started seven months ago. With that weight loss journey it brought on a lot of big changes we really needed to make. After investing a lot of time, effort and money into starting something new, it has been really rewarding having those changes feel normal now. It has taken some time, but has been worth it![/bigletter]
Our big lifestyle changes went from pizza and brownies for every meal to veggies, proteins and fruit! Fresh foods were always something we would buy but then would spoil in our fridge because we preferred fast-food better. We knew it was time to make some changes but didn’t know what to do.

Two of my sisters were doing a program for 6+ months each and both had some really great success. The way my sisters perspectives on life, positive attitudes and new mentality for life really stuck out to me. They seemed to have more energy, enjoy their lives more and not to mention, they both had some great success with weight-loss too!
Both of my sisters are busy moms of 4 kids each and live very full lives. The program they were both doing was called Bright Line Eating. They are the only ones in their families eating this way. Seeing what this program had done for them in their lives, I was intrigued and had to know more.
Jake and I went on a family trip to the cabin. On our road trip to the cabin we listened to Susan Pierce Thompsons book, Bright Line Eating. Listening to the audio book on our drive there were a lot of things that really hit home to us and sounded like something we wanted to try. At the cabin my sisters Cami and Hayley were making their Bright Line Eating meals. Jake and I found it super helpful to see meals they were making and get some ideas! We spent most of the trip asking them tons of questions on how they made the plunge and how they made some serious lifestyle changes!

July 2018 Jake and I decided to join in the fun and start Bright Line Eating. While doing Bright Line Eating we have gone to Boston, Wyoming, Texas, Disneyland, and a few other adventures and stuck to our Bright Lines. Going to Disneyland and not eating a treat?!!??! What?!?!? I never thought that would be me or my life, but I have loved the way I have felt and that has trumped any dessert in my book.
A lot of our family and friends have noticed some big changes in Jake and I. (Since we have been doing BLE we have had 10 friends/family start). Jake and I have both lost over 20 pounds each and have a new work ethic and drive for life. We keep getting asked how to get started with Bright Line Eating and how we have been able to stick to it with our on-the-go lifestyle. Not going to lie, its not always easy and it takes some planning.
So today we wanted to share with you just how we got started and built a strong foundation that has carried us through our adventures! We know BLE is not for everyone but any new lifestyle change can be daunting! So we hope this post helps you on a journey to any big lifestyle change you have wanted to make! I honestly feel with any big change if you take the time to build a strong foundation, you will succeed at anything you want to do! YOU GOT THIS!

Like anything you really want, GO ALL IN! Commit to do 100% for 2 months and then plan on making adjustments after. With any meal plan or big change it can be hard. There will be cravings, friends and family, previous commitments and other distractions that can derail you. Keep your focus, make that commitment to yourself and go all in.
The reason I say 2 months is because it gives your body enough time to adjust and also so you will be able to see and feel the changes in that time frame.
Figure out your “why”, write it down and have it visible where you can see it everyday. Create reminders of your big picture goals. I put mine next to my light switch where I could see it every time in went in and out of my room. When cravings strike, you will need to know your “why” to push you through those moments. It will help you remember the bigger picture and what is at stake.

Let family and friends in on what you are doing. Ask a few of them to be an accountability buddy and tell them your motivation and why of doing Bright Line Eating. Having a few buddies is great because anytime you are feeling you need a little extra support or to remind you of your “why” reach out to them.
For me my sisters Hayley, Cami and Jake were my buddies. Anytime I felt like I needed a little bit of encouragement or wanted to break my “Bright Lines”, I would text them. We would send each other motivational quotes, or peoples before and after photos as encouragement! Jake would always send me a cute animal doing something funny. I don’t know why but it distracted my mind enough 🙂
When you are getting started, even if your buddy is not doing BLE, find some who you can rely on to support you when the going gets tuff.

There are tons of online Facebook groups of people doing Bright Line Eating. That is a great place to find a support buddy if you are in need of one! It’s also a great place to ask for advice and get tips.
This one was a surprisingly hard one for me! Luckily Jake was on board with me getting ready of anything that didn’t fit in with the Bright Line Eating program, but there were several things I wanted to hang onto “just incase”! What if friends came over? Or what if I wanted to make treats for a friend? I had to come to terms that for me, it was better to not have any of these items in our home. I can always go out and buy treats for a friend and drop them off. If we have family in town, I can always take them out to go get treats but not have them in the house. For the first few months of BLE this was really important for me to not have any temptations in the house.
As you can see below there were a lot of things hanging around our house that got the boot. I felt bad throwing away a lot of unused items but I thanked them and threw them away. The items that were sealed and new some friends wanted so gave those to them.
Is Bright Line Eating Right For You? An Honest Review
Everyones situation is diffrent and for some, you might have a roomate, or a spouse, or children that makes it so you can’t clear everything out that you would like to. If this is the case, ask for a shelf in the fridge and pantry that are just yours! Then you know those are your foods, and anything on those shelves are yours and you don’t have to think twice about if it’s ok to eat or not.
With any meal plan/ lifestyle changes it’s nice to create your home routine and a solid foundation before you take it out on the road. Trust me, it’s just easier this way! Once you feel like you are getting used to your new way of eating, then think about venturing out.
When going out to eat on a new lifestyle plan, it is important to plan ahead. Anytime we go out to eat I will find out what restaurant we are going to in advance. Then I look at the menu beforehand and pick out what I am going to eat. I’ll do the one plate rule when going out to eat.
Believing It' Possible Is Half The Battle
With any new big changes that you are wanting to do, be gentle on yourself. Take it easy and don’t overwhelm yourself. For me I kept my schedule super open for the first 2 months of BLE so I could focus on making changes. There were some days I literally didn’t do anything except eat 3 healthy meals, and write in my journals…. and guess what?! That is ok! When you are going through some big changes, take it easy and focus on what you are wanting to accomplish and the basics are enough!
Once you clear out your fridge and pantry, if it was anything like ours…it might feel like it is a little bare. Now it’s time to go grocery shopping for some fresh foods. For most of your food you will be shopping on
