Well, now you can! With the right food shopping and preparation, you will have all the necessary ingredients to make this dream a reality. That’s right — just two weeks and you’ll be able to slim down and feel better than you have in years!
Here’s the perfect plan for you:
Weekly Meal Plan
What we have here is a full week of nutritious and filling meals, perfectly designed for the quickest possible weight loss. Let’s get started.
Mondays are lean days, meaning that you should avoid eating high-fat or high-carbohydrate foods, as they will tend to stall your weight loss efforts. Instead, focus on eating lots of vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats. You can use our meal planner as a guide to help you make the right food choices for these specific days. For instance, you should aim to eat at least seven vegetables per day, preferably fresh. You should also try to have at least three whole grains per day, and consume healthy fats like avocado or olive oil.
The key to a successful diet is to focus on eating real food — foods that you can find in a pantry or a supermarket. If you are following this plan, you will notice that your diet becomes much more balanced, and you will start to see the results of your hard work fast. All you need to do is follow the plan carefully, and you’ll be on your way to healthier and happier lifestyle in no time!
Breakfast
The most important meal of the day is breakfast, so let’s make sure that we eat healthy and filling breakfasts. Our plan features buckwheat groats, brown rice, and amaranth porridge, all of which are whole grains that provide our bodies with important nutrients. This is certainly not a dessert-driven breakfast, but its main purpose is to fuel our bodies for the day ahead. Therefore, it should provide us with a good quantity of fiber, iron, and vitamins to promote healthy living. If you are a meat eater, then you can opt for a traditional English breakfast that will help you sustain your morning energy levels — a perfect blend of protein, fats, and carbs.
Many people get anxiety when it comes to eating breakfast every day. They think that it is necessary to eat large meals in the morning to sustain their energy levels throughout the day. While it is true that breakfast is important for helping your body adjust to the time of day and nourishing your mind, it also doesn’t need to be huge. Serving yourself a small bowl of oatmeal or rice breakfast will give you all the nutrients you need to get through the morning. Feeling satisfied after a small meal helps promote healthy living, so breakfast doesn’t necessarily need to be a big meal to be beneficial.
Lunch
Lunch is a tricky one; we all know that we should be having less of it, but sometimes we just don’t feel like cooking lunch. This is why we have prepared for you a range of easy and quick to prepare foods that will leave you feeling satisfied while also helping you shed those extra pounds. Our plan features leftover chicken from last night’s dinner, seasoned and baked in a vegetable-based sauce. The dish itself doesn’t take long to make, and it tastes divine. You should also try our creamy tuna and lentil salad — the perfect blend of protein, fiber, and vegetables. This is just a sample of the delicious food that you can prepare using the simple recipes in this plan — everything from soups and stews to baked goods and salads. There is plenty to choose from, so you will never get bored of eating healthy and organic food!
Dinner
Dinner time! We have several options for you to choose from, depending on what you feel like making that day. If you are really struggling with your weight loss efforts, then opt for a diet plan that has a wider variety of foods to choose from. Our plan features slow-cooked salmon with an herby potato salad, followed by chocolate raspberry cake. The fact that there are several options here means that you can mix and match foods to meet any dietary restrictions you might have, like the vegan or gluten-free diets. If you are looking for something more traditional, then our Italian-inspired stuffed pork belly is exactly what you need! Tender pork belly is stuffed with pine nuts, raisins, and kalamata olives, and served with a spicy carrot and tomato salsa and a glass of red wine.
Our dinner options consist of seasonal and organic produce delivered straight from the supermarket, so you can rest assured that your food is good quality. What is more, the preparation time for all our dishes is very short, usually taking us just 30 minutes or less to cook. Just check out our dinner menu, and you’ll see what I mean. This makes it much easier for us to prepare a healthy and delicious meal even when we are short on time!
Snacks
Whether you are traveling by car or on public transportation, snacks are an essential part of every trip. Our snacks are light but filling, so you will feel full but not overly bloated. Our plan includes almonds, pistachios, dark chocolate, and dried fruit — the perfect combination of healthy fats, fiber, and carbohydrates. These are all natural and organic snacks that will leave you feeling energized and satisfied.
Inevitably, we all get bored of following the same routine every day when it comes to eating — after all, this is what led to us becoming overweight in the first place. Thankfully, our bodies respond well to novelty, and so do our brains. This is why we are often driven to eat what is new and different, whether it is a popular food item or a flavor that we have never tried before. This is where the concept of recipes and cooking new dishes comes from. It is always good to try something new, whether it is a flavor or a recipe, and so the fun of cooking becomes the motivation to lose weight again!
With this plan, you will lose weight quickly and easily because you will be providing your body with the nutrients it needs to function correctly. You will begin to feel better both physically and mentally, and will be motivated to continue working out and sticking to the plan.
