Diet plan by calorie watching



When selecting a meal plan, make sure you are consuming a balanced and complete diet. Your assignment is to set realistic and attainable diet goals. Start by following the simple guidelines below.

Nutritional and Diet Plan Guidelines

  1. Commit to consuming 4 - 6 small meals and snacks everyday.
  2. To succeed, you must plan ahead by packing your foods the night before. Thus, you should always have fresh and low-fat foods around.
  3. Keep it simple. Don't get too caught up on the specifics or your diet. Start by simply just counting calories.
  4. Eat your foods slower.
  5. Make healthier food selections like fruits, vegetables, whole grain cereals, and beans, low-fat or nonfat dairy products, low fat meats, fish and skinless poultry.
  6. Avoid foods that are high in fat and calories.
  7. Avoid foods that are high in sugars such as pastries, candy bars, pies and candy.
  8. Use a variety of fruits and vegetables in your nutrition plan. Start by trying to eat 5 total vegetable and fruit servings every single day.

Select from the following list of nutritionally balanced diet meal plans. Also, to help simplify your choices, each diet meal plan comes with it's very own grocery list.

7 Day Diet

The Seven Day Diet is a fad that continues to circulate despite being very unbalanced. This diet is a simple 7 day plan that emphasizes a different food group each day. The origin of this diet is unknown.

This diet is nothing short of ridiculous and should not even be considered as a viable option for weight loss. It is very unbalanced and very low in calories. AVOID.

Monday
Eat as much fruit (and juices) as you wish of any fruits, except bananas.

Tuesday
Eat all of the vegetables (and vegetable soup) that you wish.

Wednesday
A combination of Monday & Tuesday (i.e. fruit - except bananas, juices, vegetables, vegetable soups).

Thursday
Eat 5 bananas and drink 5 glasses of whole milk. Some versions say 8 bananas and 4 glass of milk.

Friday
Eat 4 steaks of meat (3 ounces each - beef/chicken/fish) with unlimited green vegetables.

Saturday
Eat 4 steaks of meat (3 ounces each - beef/chicken/fish) with unlimited green vegetables.

Sunday
Eat 4 steaks of meat (3 ounces each - beef/chicken/fish) with unlimited green vegetables.
