Conventional diet plans that starve yourself take all the joy from food. Losing weight does not have to be a fight and it does not necessarily mean that you have to cut out all the foods you enjoy eating. It is about the nutrients you eat, which means in other words “eat healthy and stay healthy”.
We compiled a 7-day meal plan which will keep you excited, lean and boost your energy. Combine this food plan with regular exercise and lose up to 5 pounds within a week.1 Before providing you with your food plan, here is some quick information about your single daily meals.
Breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day as it provides you with lasting energy and signalizes your body that it does not have to worry about receiving a sufficient amount of calories for the day.2 Eating a decent breakfast will prevent uncontrolled food cravings.
Lunch
Having a satisfying but light lunch will keep you full without giving your stomach too much work to digest. Lunch should be the second biggest meal during the day.
Dinner
Dinner is important, but should stay healthy and small, as eating too much before bed time will counteract a restful sleep. Including a sufficient amount of protein will keep you full until the morning, so that you can say good bye to the nighttime munchies.
Snacks
Snacks have a bad reputation as too much snacking can make you put on unnecessary pounds. But snacks are actually very important, as they keep your metabolism going, so that your body keeps burning calories. Nevertheless, it is also about what you eat. Healthy snacks, such as vegetables, nuts and fruit are beneficial for your body, whereas a bag of chips will definitely not help you to lose weight.3
In order to make it easier for you to stick to a healthy diet, try to vary these recipes and stick to these variations even after the one-week-meal plan. It is possible to eat left-overs from dinner time on the next day for lunch or dinner again to save preparation time – just prepare the double amount in advance then. If you want to achieve best results, do not only adjust your diet, but also include plenty of exercise into your daily routine. The combination between cardio and muscle training will burn calories faster.
We designed your 7-day meal plan to get in shape for summer time. Follow our simple meals and indulge and lose weight at the same time!
