Sadly, weight loss doesn’t just happen overnight neither will it happen in a week. If you’re dedicated to losing weight then you have to make changes to your lifestyle one day at a time. Here’s a day-to-day change you need to make:


BREAKFAST

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and studies show that people who skip breakfast end up eating more and consuming more calories than people who eat a healthy breakfast. So never forget to eat your breakfast since it will be where you get your starting energy.  You shouldn’t just eat breakfast because you have to; eat something which will keep you satisfied up until noon. Eat an easy-to-grab meal and end up with more energy throughout the day. Try these 300-500 calorie breakfast meals, each will deliver a satisfying and healthy mix of fiber and protein.

> 2 Tbsp almond butter on whole-wheat bread and a piece of fruit

> 6 ounces of low-fat yogurt and a granola bar

LUNCH

Hopefully by this time you haven’t eaten anything aside from your breakfast. Lunch is the meal that you need to get through the rest of the afternoon. This also the meal of the day you must enjoy most. The meal you need to take must give your body fuel and water to sustain you in the afternoon.  Your lunch must contain enough fiber, protein and water with an average of 500 calories. So how do you go about it? Try these satisfying midday salads and feel healthy inside and out. After eating greens you might have the urge to eat sweets for dessert. Have your meal with a healthy treat, like a handful of cherries or a serving of sugar-free Jell-O.

DINNER

Most people find it hard to resist eating after work. Just imagine the stress and fatigue you experience, you think you can fight the urge to eat?  There’s a simple solution to this big problem and one way is to eat an evening meal so satisfying it’s like a preemptive strike on snack attacks. That means a dinner packed with lean meat and protein plus fiber-rich whole grains and veggies. For dessert, try a soothing fruity dessert tea and also other drinks that pack with more antioxidants and have almost zero calories. For wine selection, try dry wine, it is full of flavor stops you from drinking as quickly therefore preventing you from pouring another glass.
