This simple eating plan can help you lose weight, eat well, and feel fantastic. This easy 1,200-calorie meal plan is specifically designed to keep you energised and full while consuming less calories, allowing you to lose a healthy 1 to 2 pounds each week.
Each day of this seven-day diet plan includes the finest meals for weight reduction—high protein, high fibre foods, a combination that research suggests can aid in weight loss by keeping you feeling fuller for longer. It also intelligently distributes calories throughout the day to keep you feeling energised and avoid feeling hungry.
This meal plan should be used as a guide, and we urge you to modify it to meet your specific needs. The calorie counts are displayed next to each meal, allowing you to quickly switch ingredients in and out as needed. And, rather than focusing on a precise calorie number, pay attention to your hunger and fullness indicators. So, if you're too hungry or lack energy at this calorie level, try 1,500 or 2,000 calories. Combine this nutritious eating plan with regular exercise to enhance the weight reduction results.
