Cool meal plans for weight loss


It is possible to follow a meal plan for weight loss without having to suffer, because the food you are eating tastes bad. One of the best of these weight loss plans is the 7 day diet program.

This means that you will be able to lose that extra weight in no time!

The diet plan I’m going to tell you about is the creation of a Vancouver dietitian by the name of Charlene Chen. But before you get started, the smart thing to do would be to consult a physician, to make sure that it is safe for you to follow this diet plan.

The goal of it is to make you feel full all day long, which means that you’ll need to drink between 8 and 10 glasses of water a day. Since this is a high fiber diet, drinking this amount of water will keep you healthy.

While on this diet plan, you need to take a 300 mg calcium and a multi-vitamin supplement.

Meal plans for weight loss

Here’s how the 7 day meal plan will go: Meal plans for weight loss

Monday & Thursday:
Breakfast: half a cup of skim milk, half a cup of orange juice including the pulp and a slice of multi-grain bread which can be toasted and topped with a teaspoon of peanut butter.

Lunch: Roasted beef between 2 slices of whole wheat bread spiced with 2 squirts of mustard, a teaspoon of non-fat mayo, garnished with alfalfa sprouts, 4 slices of tomato and cucumber, half a cup of carrot sticks, ½ cup of cucumber.

Dinner: half a cup of skim milk, onion soup, 3 baguette slices, stir fried spinach and pepper plus a single serving of any seasonal fruit…

Tuesday & Friday:
Breakfast: half a cup of skim milk, half of a grape fruit, one hard-boiled egg and a cup of instant oatmeal.

Lunch: stir fried spinach and pepper, half of a canned salmon, 2 slices of wheat bread and a single serving of any fruit in season.

Dinner: half a cup of skim milk, Veggie Burger and Sweet and Sour coleslaw.

Wednesday & Saturday:
Breakfast: half a cup of skim milk, half cup cold cereal, ½ bran muffin and a small orange fruit.

Lunch: tuna sandwich, a slice of Swiss cheese, half a cup of snap peas and half a cup of red pepper.

Dinner: half a cup of skim milk, a slice of chicken breast, a cup of green peas and brown rice.

Sunday:
This is the day you can eat all you want, but don’t go overboard, remember that you’re still on a diet. The weight loss plan you are on is made in such a way that no matter what you eat on your “day off”, you will still stay on track.

Find the right substitute...If you can’t acquire some of the foods that the above meals are made off, make sure that you find the right substitute. You can use the National Nutrient Database if you need help with your search. For example, if you don’t like fish, you may substitute it with chicken, but it has to contain the same nutrients and the same calorie intake.

The same applies for fruit. If you don’t like pears, then you can have an apple that has the same calories and nutrients.

As I’ve said before, you need to drink plenty of water and you may also have diet ice tea, seltzer or other kinds of diet sodas.

If you are a caffeine addict, don’t worry, you don’t have to give up. Coffee is not the reason you are overweight, but sugar and milk is, so you need to drink coffee plain. It’s bad, I know, but it’s all for a good cause.
