YOUR 8-DAY
PESACH
eating plan

Plan your Shabbos in advance:
Decide in advance which are likely to be
your most difficult meals over Shabbos. You
may decide that Friday night, the shul brocha on Shabbos morning and Shabbos lunch
are likely to be your biggest challenges. Decide which of these three meals is going to
be your ‘cheat’ meal, which is going to be
perfectly on-track and healthy, and which is
going to be in between the two (ie, not terrible, but not particularly good either).
Keep Shabbos eating to only one
day (not the whole weekend)
Many people find it hard to get back into a
normal eating routine after Shabbos, but it
is very important that any less-than-ideal
eating habits end as Shabbos ends, so that
from Saturday night you can go back to eating healthily rather than letting bad eating
habits creep into Sunday and even the rest
of the week too!
Get rid of leftovers
Leftovers are a temptation. So make
