Meal Plan to Lose Weight
If a meal plan to lose weight has visions of calorie counting, and carrying around notebooks all day with fears of eating something you shouldn’t, or having to look up everything to see how many calories it contains, then why not start with this simple way to lose weight.
It is, in a way a meal plan to lose weight, but it starts off with a few changes a week and then gradually builds into a great meal plan that you slowly got used to and is more likely to keep that weight off of you.
The first rule is that NOTHING IS OFF LIMITS!!
Now saying that, I don’t mean you should be doing face plants into large amounts of food, but in my opinion cutting out entire food groups is not a sustainable way to lose weight. I know it, as I have been there before.
I finally got that extra weight off of my body by trying to create a simple way to eat and lose weight.
I started off with a couple of changes a week. I read somewhere that it takes 21 days to form a habit and 21 days to break one. So, if you really get anxious at the idea of changing your diet, then you could simply change out something every 21 days! Even just slowly cutting back the sugar in your coffee or tea over 21 days counts as a great change!
If you want to go a wee bit fast than that, then change a couple of small habits a week to begin with until you get used to them.
You see, if you suddenly change everything in your daily food, then you will quickly become anxious and feel deprived. I mean picture this, if you suddenly change out your cookies for a rice cake, just how long is that going to last?
Find something in your diet each day that you can switch out for a lower calorie version. I personally started with cheese. I found some really good brands of a low fat cheese and switched it out on my sandwich and then I took the mayo and switched to mustard. That was a big enough change for me, (actually that can save a lot of calories) and I kept it like that for a week or so, until I got used to it, and didn’t change anything else.
Then I started looking at my bread brand, and found a good name brand that just happened to use less calories to make it.
This will not have you losing tons of weight overnight, but I can tell you that once you get used to a few changes here and there, the weight will start to come off and you will notice it, and not feel deprived.
Don’t give up desserts if you love them find something a little different instead. Even if all you save is a hundred calories that is 100 more towards your daily savings. Just spend a bit of time in the beginning to read some labels, and then slowly make the tweaks.
I lost my weight this way. I guess you can call this a meal plan to lose weight, but really it was the same food I always eat, and not once did I add any rice cakes!
