Here’s a healthy diet to lose weight with. Don’t worry, I won’t tell you stupid things like eat carrots and celery and other nonsense like that. I’ll just give you a diet that is easy for a majority of people to follow.
The best part is, it won’t feel like a diet at all.
Healthy Diet To Lose Weight
1. Breakfast starts the day off right
You just got up from sleeping, a mini-fast. Your body needs nutrients and calories immediately. Especially protein. So for this diet, you’ll need to eat eggs. I prefer 3-4 scrambled eggs. This gets you the protein and fills you up.
I’ll give you a “secret food” that helps this diet a lot… use it as much as possible. It’s black beans. A single can of black beans has 25 grams of fiber and 25 grams of protein… with no sugar. If you can, heat 1/2 of a can of black beans for 5 minutes and spread over your eggs.
2. Keep your momentum going with protein and fiber for lunch
The more calories (healthy calories) you get earlier in the day, the easier the rest of the day becomes for you. You’ll have less cravings and less need for snacks to tide you over until the next meal.
I suggest you eat tilapia or salmon on a bed of lettuce. Other proteins you can use instead… 1 can of tuna, 1 can of black beans, 1 chicken breast, or 1 hamburger patty.
3. Dinner… a lean meat and some “superfood” vegetables
Use whatever lean meat you want for dinner, but I strongly recommend that you eat 8 ounches of broccoli or cauliflower… or a combo of both. I get the 1 pound frozen bags with a mix of each for about a dollar.
4. Choose your snacks wisely
Too many people use convenience foods for snacks. Bad, bad, bad. A lot of times you don’t even have any control over this since you ate so badly in the morning and afternoon that you need the quick energy from the sugars in them.
Regardless, try to eat as many apples and low calorie yogurts for your snacks.
5. What to drink….
Just drink water, protein shakes, and teas… nothing else! The empty calories are killing you slowly. The average American gets over 25{44f93193654ee8e357ba54f38b49cfc3563b7d623a8103b2d4e387aa181f7fed} of his/her calories from liquids now. It’s not pretty.
There you go… a simple, healthy diet to lose weight with and not feel like you’re suffering or depriving yourself.
