Healthy Weight Loss

Healthy weight Loss
simple diet plan

Many People have the idea of following a traditional diet plan. If you fall into this category, you may be more inclined to opt for a more relaxed approach to healthy weigh loss. Without the guidance and advice from a diet plan, how do you know what to eat and when and still manage to lose weight?

The simple diet plan below will provide information for a daily way to promote weight loss. This is merely an example and you may want to make adjustments and adaptations to suit our personal needs and goals.

  1. Breakfast - Eating breakfast is a very important way to start each day. It helps your body to wake up and fires up your metabolism after being at rest all night. Ideal choices for breakfast foods are those which contain carbohydrates, which provide immediate fuel. you should also combine these with lean protein and a small quantity of fat for energy and satisfaction. A scrambled or poached egg on wholemeal toast, a whole grain bagel spread with low-fat cream cheese, or muesli topped with pieces of fresh fruit are all good choices.
  2. Eat a mid-morning snack - Two to three hours after breakfast, you will probably begin to feel hungry again, and it is important to eat a small snack to maintain our energy levels. Raw vegetables are ideal for a mid-morning snack to bridge the gap between breakfast and lunch because they are high in fibre, low in calories and filling. You could keep chopped raw vegetables in the refrigerator or take a small container to work with you for a handy snack to nibble on when you feel hungry. You could also include a small container of low-fat salad dressing or a tasty salsa for dipping the raw vegetables in.
  3. Lunch - Moving on a further two or three hours after our snack, you will probably be hungry enough for lunch, so you will need to eat some lean protein, complex carbohydrates and healthy fat. You could have a whole grain sandwich with lean chicken or turkey meat, lettuce, tomato and onion. You could also add sliced avocado or a sprinkle of extra virgin olive oil for added healthy fat and additional flavour. You should also include a serving or two of fresh fruit for a low-calorie dessert.
  4. Mid-afternoon snack - As our lunch was probably adequately satisfying, you may not be quite as hungry as you are in the mid-morning, so you could just eat something small such as a small piece of fruit, low-fat yoghurt or even some more vegetables. This small snack merely serves to prevent us becoming too hungry before dinner.
  5. Dinner - You need to include more lean protein like fish, beef, chicken, beans or tofu as a vegetarian option, as you'll as complex carbohydrates such as brown rice, brown pasta or whole grain bread, with generous servings of fresh vegetables, either cooked or raw. If you want a dessert, you could opt for baked apple with cinnamon or iced melon or pineapple slices to satisfy that sweet tooth.
  6. Evening snack - If you feel the need for an evening snack, you probably still have a few calories available from our daily allowance to eat another piece of fruit or perhaps a couple of whole-meal crackers with low-fat cream cheese. but remember no snack within two hours of bedtime.
You will see that it is possible to lose weight even when you are eating plenty of food. The secret is to eat smaller portion, eat more frequently, and eat healthy good quality foods and also drink a large glass of water prior to every meal, this will help to feel full.

This plan just gives you the basic ideas, which you can adjust and alter to suit our personal tastes, lifestyle and weight loss goals. It also gives us a starting point for how a healthy eating weight loss plan may look each day. you should also make daily changes so that you are not eating the same foods day after day or you will soon become bored and tempted to give up. It is quite easy to substitute different vegetables, fruits, protein, carbohydrates, dairy and fats to add variety, flavour to prevent us from jeopardising our weight loss goal
