Here's how to build an enjoyable, effective meal plan for weight loss. You're doing your weight loss diet all wrong. Most of you will start a weight loss plan by cutting out everything you enjoy eating. This will ultimately lead to failure because we all have a little rebellion inside of us. When someone tells us we can't eat this or that, what will we do when we have a bad day or we feel stressed? We will eat the very thing that is forbidden. Then we feel either guilt or shame and we consider ourselves a failure because we couldn't be perfect with our food. Instead, why not plan your diet in a way that includes some of your favourite treats in moderation and start with that? Here's how to build an enjoyable, effective meal plan for weight loss. 1. Go to any online TDEE calculator. This is a calculator that roughly estimates your current Total Daily Energy Expenditure and the result is how many calories you need to eat to maintain your weight. 2. When entering your details, use a 'lightly active activity' setting unless you exercise a lot every day. A lot of people overestimate their daily activity levels so I always start with the lower range. 3. Once you receive your rough estimate of calories, reduce that number by 10, 20, or 30% depending on how quickly you want to lose weight. 4. Build a meal plan that includes treats, wine, or your treat of choice to match that number of calories. 5. Use any of the multiple food websites to find suitable calorie meals that fit your calorie budget. For example, if you need to eat 1800 calories to lose weight, divide that number by how many meals you eat per day and find recipes online that match those calories. Even better, go to any online meal delivery service and tell them how many calories you need to eat to lose weight based on the number above and they can deliver calorie-controlled meals to you. Make sure your plan has some of your favourite treats in it. Do not eliminate them. Cold turkey works for some but not for most people. Start working with your tastes instead of against them. I don’t count calories but this is a great place to start to get you moving towards your goals. Does this help at all?
