Recently I wrote about my experience following Bright Line Eating, a diet program that has clear boundaries around common addictive foods.
And, while I shared the foods that I ate for those 7 days, it kind of got lost in the long post where I reviewed the program itself and talked about my 7 pound weight loss. So, I decided to create a new article just for the meal plan I followed during my Bright Line Eating program!
As a recap, to follow the Bright Line Eating program, there are only 4 rules. They are:
- No Flour
- No sugar
- No eating between meals
- Eat a specific amount of pre-selected food.
For a deeper dive on the program, head over to my original post Bright Line Eating In the meantime, here’s a printable page you can use to follow the Bright Line Eating plan for 7 days.

Hi there. Would you please share the type of salad dressing you used, and how much for each salad?
Thank you!
I used Bolthouse ranch salad dressing. You can find it in the produce dept. It’s my favorite!
Day 1 needs a fruit at lunch. Right?
Thanks for all your suggestions!
Oh my gosh!! Yes, it does. I don’t know how I missed that!! In over a year, you are the first person who caught that error! Dang.
I had done bright line eating for a little over a year with a total weight loss of 45 lbs. Granted I lost most of it in about 5 months then I went on the maintenance plan. After a few months it became east and temptations for “no, no” foods was easy. A dinner trick was to use heavy vegetables like Brussel sprouts and asparagus. I couldn’t eat a whole salad every night. Fajitas was my go to, easy and loaded with bell peppers, onions and jalapeños. Stick to it and stay on target. There will be days when weight loss doesn’t occur like you would like it to be but it’s a marathon not a sprint.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience Roy! I couldn’t agree more and you said it well, It’s a marathon, not a sprint!!
Please keep me updated!
