Meal Replacement Diet Plan For Quick Weight Loss

I was looking for quick diet plan to lose weight before going on stage for my graduation. It was the first time I felt uneasy about few kilos that I’m carrying, I felt that everybody is watching me.

I had forty-five days and I was free. I could choose between resting and eventually putting on more weight or take control of my health and start healthy living.

I was short on time and I needed a quick weight loss diet that is easy on my wallet. I started googling for information and products to start planning my diet.

Many of my friends did not believe that it is possible to shape up and slim down in forty-five days, this is a challenge I was ready for.

A friend emailed me an article telling the story of a lady from Philippine who managed to downsize from 122 kilos to 92 kilos, her story motivated me and I found that it is possible to slim down if there is desire to lose weight. From my own search I can across another story for a Singaporean young guy who managed to bring his weight down from 144 kilos to 77 kilos in six months, an average of 10 kilos every month, and I’m sure there are many more success stories and I hope I can create my own.

All required for successful weight loss is not eating more than 2000 calorie per day and engaging in fitness program that will help me burn excess fat. All I need is to balance my calorie intake and calorie used (burned) daily, simply as described below:

• Calorie intake greater than Calorie used or burned the result will be weight gain.
• Calorie intake less than Calorie used or burned the result will be weight loss.

The daunting part of the diet plan was making sure my calorie intake does not exceed 2000 and a nutritionist in local hospital suggested following daily serving as in table below.

Since I’m not in favor of making my diet plan difficult to implement, I decided to look for healthy easy and affordable alternatives. A friend who lost weight in the past suggest meal replacement as the best choice I have it is easy to prepare and fast, the only problem is the taste as they say healthy food is not tasty but I was ready to take it anyway for my health.

I resorted to meal replacements for easy solution, since they are low in calorie and fat I can manage my calorie intake easily, and meal replacements considered complete meal which will supply my body with all needed vitamins and minerals.

After careful search and reading I was knowledgeable enough to plan my own diet, which was:

Breakfast: meal replacement mixed with low fat milk with protein powder. This breakfast kept me full for six hours.

Lunch: Small portion of colorful balanced meal, mostly fish and chicken I’m not red meat fan. I make sure I take vegetable with my meal, especially broccoli.

Dinner: mostly vegetable soup with pulses.

For curbing my hunger: Cucumber, water and nuts are what I used to curb my hunger in between. Cucumber is the best, especially Japanese cucumber it is crunchy, the skin is not thick and has no seeds. I also switched to brown rice, if you are rice eater and interested in controlling your weight brown rice is the way to go.

Walking every night was my fitness program and was a good fat burner; you will never know how this simple fitness program can help improve your general health. At the end I manage to lose 8.5 kilos.
