Planning weight loss menus yourself can be especially challenging if you are following a healthy weight loss diet plan – always a good idea as a healthy diets work best. It involves thinking more carefully about what you eat, and what goes into your shopping cart too.
Thankfully, the better healthy weight loss diet plans include ready-made meal plans. You’ll also get a full guide teaching you how to create your own healthy weight loss menus, but the ready made plans get you started. The number and quality of ready-made meal plans varies from diet to diet plan.
For an idea of the kind of menus a good healthy diet plan can provide, here’s a sample based on one of the meal plans included in the highly-nutritious Diet Solution Program. This particular program is heavily focused on natural (ideally organic) foods and provides a full three months of ready-to-go meal plans.
There are two options for breakfast, being the most important meal of the day.
Healthy Breakfast Menu – Option One
Eating right should always start with a good and healthy breakfast. If you choose filling foods, you will avoid mid-morning binge eating. For a power-packed breakfast that tastes great:
- Take one slice of sprouted bread (any type of whole grain bread is usually fine for this)
- Add some raw nut butter and some pieces of very thin slices of apple.
- If you are craving more sweetness, add a drizzle of honey to the top of the apples.
- Add two hard boiled eggs (organic is always best)
Healthy Breakfast – Option Two
Oatmeal is an excellent way to start your day since it is packed full of filling fiber.
- Buy the steel cut oats (far preferable to the instant variety)
- Make sure you allow plenty of cooking time since these take about 30 minutes to prepare.
- Since there are carbs in the oatmeal, you can keep any sugar rush under control by adding two poached eggs.
- If you prefer, have two hard-boiled organic eggs instead of poached, as with breakfast plan one.
Healthy Lunch Menu
For a delicious and very filling lunch:
- Fill a large plate with mixed organic greens. Choices are nearly unlimited. Different types of lettuce, spinach, kale, or arugula are all good.
- Add some thinly sliced or chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, radishes, or avocados (don’t overdo the avocado though – it could add too much fat). You can actually add virtually any veggie you enjoy.
- To lend some delicious crunch to the salad add a small palmful of raw almonds (sliced or slivered).
- For the finishing touch, have a piece of grilled salmon, of the wild caught variety.
- A simple dressing can be made from olive oil, lemon juice, pepper, and other spices to your own taste.
- After you have enjoyed your salad, you can have a piece of fresh fruit for the perfect dessert.
Healthy Dinner Menu
Contrary to what many diet plans will have you believe, all bread is not bad for you. For dinner, try a healthy and filling BLT sandwich – a filling meal that is also going to help you to lose weight.
- Take a spelt tortilla or a couple of pieces of sprouted bread.
- Prepare some bacon (the type that is free of nitrates and nitrites)
- Add a few slices of ripe tomatoes and add some organically grown romaine lettuce.
- Rather than mayonnaise, you can add raw milk yogurt for that creamy taste. Alternatively, mash a slice or two of avocado and use that as a spread on the bread.
- Dessert can be a small square of dark chocolate (organic variety)
As you can see, good ready-made healthy menus will also be simple so that creating your own healthy meal plans will quickly become second nature.
