Luteal phase meal plan Tips
- Drink a full glass of water before each meal — it supports digestion and can help prevent overeating by promoting a natural sense of fullness.
- Prep your ingredients in advance using the grocery list provided. Washing, chopping, and portioning on one day saves hours of decision fatigue during the week.
- Don't skip meals. Consistent eating times regulate blood sugar, support metabolism, and reduce the likelihood of late-night snacking or poor food choices.
- Treat this plan as a flexible guide, not a rigid rulebook. Swap meals freely within the same category and adjust portions to match your hunger and activity level.
