There are lots of healthy filling meals and snacks that can help you to not only weigh less but will also help you feel your very best.
These healthy weight loss meal plans include all kinds of satisfying, hunger-curbing foods like mustard-coated salmon, sweet potatoes, and hearty Italian-style soups.
- Eating Oatmeal with fresh or frozen fruit.
With a hot whole-grain cereal and fruit, you’d take in approximately 100 fewer calories each day. That one simple change to your daily diet could help you drop about 10 pounds in one year.
- 2 cups mixed greens with 1 cup of other veggies, chopped, and dressed with aged balsamic vinegar.
For your salads, break out of the lettuce-and-tomato box. All kinds of veggies – and fruit – can go into your salad. Try diced sweet potatoes, yellow squash, red bell peppers, cucumbers, red cabbage, red onions, and more.
- Brown Rice
Give your brown rice a nice savory spin by adding freshly minced garlic. At the last minute, add in fresh herbs like thyme and Italian parsley and just about any vegetable you have on hand, like chopped cucumbers, celery, onions, and tomatoes.
- Frozen Yogurt
¾ cup frozen strawberry non-fat sugar-free yogurt topped with sliced fresh or frozen unsweetened strawberries.
- Tuna Sandwich
Put together a sandwich of tuna (canned – preferably low-sodium, light, and packed in water) with 1 tablespoon nonfat mayo or nonfat plain yogurt, chopped celery, and onions, topped with baby spinach or peppery arugula, on 100% whole-wheat bread (low-sodium).
- Fruit smoothie
Smoothie made in blender with 1 cup nonfat plain yogurt, ¾ cup crushed ice, ½ banana, and fresh or frozen berries.
