Daily Healthy Eating Plan
January 3, 2009
For over 5 years after college I struggled with my weight. I tried diet after diet and pill after pill only to fall into a yo yo diet effect where I would lose 10 pounds but gain 15 back. Then lose 15 and gain 20.
I couldn’t afford a personal trainer or nutritionist and it wasn’t until I found a program that taught me how to eat properly and dispelled a few myths I was following but were getting me nowhere.
In this article I will outline a daily healthy eating plan to help you lose weight. These are the biggest things that helped me lose weight. Remember this will not be applicable to everyone. I was about 50 pounds overweight and using some of these guidelines was able to go from 222lbs down to 196lbs in just 30 days. Although I had a program spit me out menus to follow you can create healthy meal plans on your own with a little trial and error and patience.
EVERY one of these tips are to be used together in your diet eating plan
1. Every night before you go to bed write down the meals you will prepare for the next morning. You don’t need to go crazy and write down everything but just an outline you can follow.
2. Start drinking more water. Drink half your bodyweight in ounces. Drink ONLY water. No sodas, no t even diet, no fruit juices. 1 cup of black coffee or tea per day is ok
3. I don’t care how hectic your schedule is eat 4-6 smaller meals per day instead of 3 big ones.
4. Cut out almost ALL sugar and preserved food. Nothing in cans. Buy frozen vegetables not canned.
5. Cut out the white stuff and put in the brown stuff. Brown rice, wheat bread and pasta.
6. Stop eating when you are 80% full. There will be a learning curve with this one but its important.
7. Have one cheat day per week (this does not mean eat ice cream and cake all day). It means you don’t need to be so strict. Don’t plan the night before. Only eat 2 or 3 meals maybe. Throw in your favorite desert. But still eat a few healthy meals.
I am going to include one of my personal eating plans that I used on a daily basis.
Breakfast: 2 egg whites scrambled, piece of wheat toast
Snack: small baggie full of different salt free nuts
Lunch: 3 oz salmon and a little brown rice
Snack: apple or grapefruit (grapefruits are REALLY good for you)
Dinner: 4-6 oz chicken breast with some broccoli and a tiny bit of butter
This is somewhat of an average day for ME. You may need way more or way less food. That’s one of the disadvantages of not having a nutritionist or someone that can tell you EXACTLY what you have to eat. It may take some trial and error.
If you aren’t losing weight within the first 12-14 days then try a different plan or meal combination.
