Everyone whose goal is to lose weight wants to lose it fast just like you, most likely. I’m sure you’ve seen the quick weight loss diet plans all over the TV. They claim that all you have to do is buy their food and you will lose the weight. No doubt these diets, like many others, work if you do what you are supposed to do and follow their weight loss tips to a tee. But, there’s good news. There is a way that doesn’t involve spending hundreds of dollars per month on food. So I would like to give you a quick weight loss diet that has worked for me. Before I do that, I want to make sure you are familiar with the most basic fundamental for weight loss, whether you’re looking at diets for quick weight loss or not.
You will not lose weight if you consume more calories that you burn. You must, must, must burn more than you eat; it’s like your bank account if you spend more money than you deposit your account will be lean or in the red. This is bad for your money management but good for losing weight. The reverse is also true, if you deposit more than you spend, your bank account will get fat. It may be even easier to see how that applies to your eating habits.
At the end of the day, a quick weight loss diet, like any diet, come down to simple math. Here is an example: Let’s take a woman who’s BMR (base metabolic rate) is 1500 calories per day and she eats 1000 calories. She will have a 500 calorie deficit and if she does this every day, she will lose one pound per week. That is simply modifying your diet, not lifting one weight or performing one minute of cardio. If she wanted to lose faster than that, she can burn an extra 500 during a 45 minute workout (this is very easy to do). This will leave her with a 1000 calorie deficit per day. Let’s do the math on this one: 1000 calories per day X 7days = 7000 calories burned per week which equals 2 pounds lost per week.
There are many quick weight loss diets, but here is what worked for me, I will leave it to you to do the math;
- Meal 1 – 2 pieces of fruit or 3 eggs and one piece of fruit.
- Meal 2 – 1 vegetable and 1 fruit.
- Meal 3 – One 4-6 oz piece of grilled chicken breast or protein shake and 1 vegetable.
- Meal 4 – 1 Leafy green salad with romaine lettuce a little cheese, cashews, and dressing 1 serving or less.
- Meal 5 – 1 or 2 (depending where I am for the day) servings of stir fry with tuna, chicken or salmon.
I should note that throughout the day I drink plenty of water. This is just a one day sample of what to do. I’m sure you’re can take this and modify it for the rest of the week.
