Healthy Eating Plan

Healthy Eating Plan

A healthy eating plan gives your body the nutrients it needs every day while staying within your daily calorie goal for weight loss. A healthy eating plan also will lower your risk for heart disease and other health conditions.
A healthy eating plan:
  • Emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products
  • Includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts
  • Is low in saturated fats, trans fat, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars
  • Controls portion sizes

Calories

To lose weight, most people need to reduce the number of calories they get from food and beverages (energy IN) and increase their physical activity (energy OUT).
For a weight loss of 1–2 pounds per week, daily intake should be reduced by 500 to 1,000 calories. In general:
  • Eating plans that contain 1,000–1,200 calories each day will help most women lose weight safely.
  • Eating plans that contain 1,200–1,600 calories each day are suitable for men and also may be appropriate for women who weigh 165 pounds or more or who exercise regularly.
If you eat 1,600 calories a day but do not lose weight, then you may want to cut back to 1,200 calories. If you are hungry on either diet, then you may want to boost your calories by 100 to 200 per day. Very low calorie diets of fewer than 800 calories per day should not be used unless you are being monitored by your doctor.

How a Food Diary Helps to Lose Weight Fast

weight loss journal 300x219 The Importance Of A Food Diary For Weight Loss


1. By Eliminating the Ability to Underestimate How Much You Eat
Using a journal to track what is being eaten and the quantities of the foods being digested eliminates guess work. 

Approximately twenty five percent of dieters underestimate their daily calorie intake. 

Since a major goal is to consume less calories, accurately knowing what is being consumed is vital.


2.  By Knowing What Causes You To Eat More
There may be a reason that you eat more at certain times compared to other times. 

There may be an emotional trigger or a habit that you are unaware of. 

The food diary will allow you to visually see upswings in food consumption that will allow you to learn these triggers and habits. 

Once you know, you can change.


3. By Helping You Cut Back On Unnecessary Snacking

If every time you have an extra snack or cheat on your diet, you have to write it down, you naturally will reduce these behaviors. 

But it’s important to actually write down every little piece of candy or small bite or taste in the journal … anything that goes in the mouth. 

There may be a little harmless appearing snack that is causing diet failure.


4. By Getting and Keeping You On A Balanced Diet
To eliminate guessing, a food journal is necessary to ensure that the proper amount of veggies, fruits, protein, fiber, and so forth are being consumed for a successful quick weight loss diet. 

With a food journal, you can analyze the diet and add or eliminate elements to make the diet work.

Having a weight loss journal is absolutely critical to not only succeed in a diet, but also to lose weight faster.
