Healthy Weight Loss Plan: Diet and Food
Healthy weight loss occurs by losing body fat and preserving muscle tissue. Muscle burns fat at a faster rate than fat, thus speeding up your weight loss and helps you keep the weight off. Losing weight and staying healthy is defined as follows:
- Dropping body fat
- Preserving muscle mass
- Not regaining your weight back
Simple techniques can dramatically increase the amount of weight you lose. Eat five to six meals a day. By eating smaller portions, you are taking in only a fewer calories at a time. If you are eating more frequently, you are less likely to become hungry and over eat. By eating fewer calories, about 250 to 500 calories, and combining it with an exercise regiment, you will lose weight at a more rapid rate. A suggested day’s diet may include the following:
Breakfast – A protein drink or a boiled egg
Break time – Omelet with egg whites
Lunch – 5 ounces of protein (egg or meat), rice and a small salad
Afternoon break – fruit or a fruit snack
Dinner – 6 ounces of protein, and fruit or vegetable
Later in the evening – Protein shake
