3 Healthy Meal Plans For Weight Loss

In this article, I’m going to tell you 3 easy to implement healthy meal plans for your weight loss efforts.

You may ask yourself, “is it really possible to put together a meal plan that is both healthy and will help me lose weight?” The answer is, “yes”, and read on to find out how. I am going to tell you about 3 healthy meal plans that will both help your diet, and help you to lose those unwanted pounds.

The following are the meals of the day, and three sample healthy meal plans.

Breakfast

(Eat your breakfast like a king.)

Protein needs to be included in each one of your meals. Protein gives you the fat burning effect with your meal, and it stabilizes your blood sugar. So when you eat a protein along with your carbohydrates, you help to keep your blood sugar stable. If you eat the carbohydrates without the protein, your blood sugar goes on a “roller-coaster” ride, encountering highs and lows.

Include protein in your breakfast.

Get your protein from eating organic eggs (an organic egg actually has a high amount of Omega 3s in the yolk where a conventional egg does not.), cottage cheese, raw nut butter, wild fish like salmon (a little higher in fat but it is the heart-healthy kind, omega-3 fatty acids.), or white meat chicken.

Include your carbohydrates in the form of oatmeal, sprouted grain bread, fruit and/or vegetables.

3 healthy meal plans for breakfasts are:

a. Oatmeal with almond butter, topped with fresh berries and a bit of Stevia (or honey or organic sugar) to sweeten.

b. 2 hard boiled eggs, 1 slice sprouted grain toast and ½ grapefruit

c. Smoked salmon over sliced tomato and 1 green* apple

Lunch

(Eat your lunch like a pauper.)

The same as with breakfast, include a protein and carbohydrate. One way to be sure you are packing a healthy protein is by packing the last night’s dinner leftovers.

Pack leftover hamburger, chicken, or wild fish and include them in a salad, or other vegetable.

3 healthy meal plans for lunch are:

a. (If you have time to cook) Baked wild fish over sautéed spinach, green salad with chick peas (vinegar and oil as dressing) followed by ½ cup of pineapple.

b. Leftover chicken legs with broccoli and ½ sweet potato.

c. Lean hamburger (or ground turkey) over brown rice and portabella mushroom. A green salad or cooked vegetables and 1 orange.

Dinner

(Eat your dinner like a peasant.)

Look for dinner recipes that are quick, but you can substitute your own healthy ingredients in the recipe.

Remember to include protein and carbohydrates in your dinner menu.

3 healthy meal plans for dinner are:

Mexican salad:
Ground beef (or ground turkey) over shredded lettuce and tomato, guacamole and brown rice.

Grilled Salmon (you can get wild salmon burgers at Costco) over asparagus, green salad (oil and vinegar as dressing) followed by a fresh fruit salad.

Buffalo meat balls (there are also turkey meat balls, again at Costco) over rice pasta with sautéed broccoli.

Snacks

It is not good to let yourself get too hungry for food. The feeling of being hungry often leads to over eating, and that of unhealthy food. If you are “starving” you grab and open a bag of chips and eat the whole bag to ward off your hunger. You may also consider getting something unhealthy out of the snack vending machine at work.

Being too hungry often leads to bad food choices and makes it very difficult to stay with your diet plan.

It is important to keep good, healthy snacks close by.

3 healthy meal plans for snacks are:

a. 2 Tbsp almond butter on ½ apple, or almond butter on celery stalk.

b. Trail mix made up of almonds, walnuts, dried fruit (no sugar added), and pumpkin seeds.

c. Pineapple and cottage cheese

Mix a few of these healthy meal plans into your own eating schedule. If you want to see some great results in your weight loss efforts you need to be following some sort of a plan. Incorporating these healthy meal plans into your daily diet and see incredible results.
