Lose weight meal plans – Check out this sample weight loss meal plan

December 2nd, 2009

Sometimes it seems that some people can get away with bad habits and wrong actions. If your best friend is eating hamburgers, pizzas and ice-cream and is not getting fat at all, but you will get fat when eating these foods,then this can be really frustrating. But sooner or later even your “lucky” friend will start gaining fat eating these foods. So the food you eat is very important and it would also be nice to eat good foods, that taste great and still lose weight. This can be done, if you choose the right foods, there is no need to starve yourself.

Lose weight meal plans

First of all you need to understand that everything you eat, either moves you closer to your target or moves you further away from it. No food is neutral, so you have to be really careful what you eat. It is also a good idea not to follow some extreme meal plan. For example a very low carb meal plan, very low fat meal and so on. The best meal plan should have all the macronutrients the body needs. For a lot of people the, 50-55% carbohydrate, 30% protein and 15-20%, ratio works very well.

Sample weight loss meal plan

Meal 1 – Oatmeal, egg white omelet, banana Meal 2 – 100% whole grain dry cereals, protein shake, orange Meal 3 – Chicken breast, Brown rice, green beans Meal 4 – Top round steak, baked potato, broccoli Meal 5 – Yams, cottage cheese, asparagus Meal 6 – Tuna, Whole wheat bread, salad

Calories: women – 1500-1800 calories, men – 2100-2400 calories

This is just and example and you can very easily create your own meal plans, but you have to include lean proteins, complex carbs, simple carbs, starchy carbs, fibrous carbs and also essential fats in your meal plan. If you do that and keep your calories under control, then you can certainly lose weight.

Using a rapid weight loss diet plan – Why rapid weight loss diet plan are no effective

November 21st, 2009

Everyone wants to lose weight fast and permanently without much hard work. We expect the incredible weight loss stories we see on magazines, online and TV to be true. But they are not true and even if you do lose weight rapidly using a diet plan, then the chances are you will gain all the weight back. Losing weight fast and permanently are two different things and you can not lose weight permanently with diets, because diets are only temporary.

Using a rapid weight loss diet plan

One of the main reasons why people struggle with weight loss so much, is mainly because people do not to their homework. I mean if you are serious about losing weight with a certain diet plan, then you need to do some research and find out, if REAL people have long-term success with it. You can not trust what the diet plan makers are telling you. But people rarely to their homework and get scammed by the weight loss industry.

Diets are a severe restriction in food or calories, that are not permanent but temporary. Diets are temporary, so you can´t expect permanent results with diets, no matter what kind of a diet you are using. Most conventional diet plans and programs require people to reduce their calories to 800-1200 for women and 1500-1800 for men. Sometimes the number is even lower than that.

The thing is that if you reduce your calories drastically, then you do lose weight. But weight loss is not fat loss and 95% of the time the weight you lose with fast weight loss diets plans comes back again. In my opinion it is not very smart to use diets to lose weight because they can´t work in the long run. It would be much better if you would get a fat loss program, that has proven it works.

But weight loss tips can only lead you to the right direction, they by themselves, are not enough.

In this article I will give you a very simple tips that will help you get started and how to stay highly motivated.

Quick weight loss tips for teens

Set precise goals

When people start a fitness program, then they have very vague reasons, why they decided to start it. Some just want to get a bit leaner, other want to lose weight, some want to lose belly fat etc. But these reasons are not very good, because they are very general. The more precise and specific a goal is the better. What size clothes would you like to wear, how much body fat would you exactly want to lose, what would be your ideal body fat percentage etc.

Set measurable goals

The problem is that, if you only use the scale and the mirror, then you will not get very accurate results. Because the scale does not tell you how much body fat you have lost, it only tells you how much weight you have lost, But weight loss is not fat loss. Of course the mirror can be very tricky, because sometimes you do not see, what is really there. So the best way to get very good feedback, is if you measure your body fat and weigh yourself. Then you know exactly how much body fat you lost.

Have realistic deadlines

We have all seen ads like, “lose 20 pounds in 20 days or 10 pounds in 3 days,” but these are not realistic. Because as I mentioned before, weight loss is not fat loss. If you do manage to lose 20 pounds in 20 days, then certainly mot of it is muscle mass and water weight, not fat. If you lose muscle, then your body burns less and less calories, making it very hard to maintain your weight. Fast weight loss always means, that you re-gain your weight sooner or later. For example 1-2 pounds of fat, is very realistic to lose in a week. We are talking about 1-2 of fat not weight and if you manage to do that, then you are making very good progress.
