EXAMPLES OF FITNESS MEAL PLANS TO LOSE WEIGHT

If your goal is to lose weight, forget about high-protein diets and other strategies to lose weight that will only leave you feeling frustrated. What you need to do is to learn how to balance your intake without having to deprive yourself.

Skipping a meal because you want to lose weight throws you into a vicious circle, which turns eating into something bad that leads to weight gain, when it actually is critical fuel your body needs in order to function. When you put restraints on your body, it goes into “starvation” mode. The second you give in to temptation, it will immediately store what you eat in order cope when you go back to your restricted eating habits. This means you’ll gain weight instead of lose it.

Start your day with a warm beverage such as tea or coffee. Have a slice of whole grain toast with jam along with a yogurt and a fruit. These are guaranteed to satisfy your nutritional intake without affecting your ability to lose weight.

LUNCH

When it’s time for lunch, try our turkey and zucchini bake. If you eat a vegetarian diet, you can nix the turkey and use another source of plant-based protein instead. Getting familiar with carbs, protein and fat can be useful when you’re putting together your meal plans. For dessert, you can try a slice of cheese on bread with a fruit.
