Following on from the last post on nutrition:

Here is a typical daily meal plan which will guarantee you to lose fat fast in the most healthiest way possible and not allow you to lose muscle either (its always a fine line between the two).

Breakfast:

fresh, plain yughurt (flavoured yoghurt adds sugar) with some fruit (passionfruit, banana, strawberries, and or apple) with either a quality protein rich muesli (found only at health food shops) or oats, wheatgerm, licethin and flax seeds (all bought separately for a couple of dollars each and you combine them as you need them.

or

two eggs fried with olive oil only. 1 strip of bacon and some wholemeal, wholegrain bread - 1 slice.

or

two eggs as an omelette with some veges in it (broccoli or capsicum or some other invention) served on one slice of the above bread and sprinkle it with some fetta or cottage cheese - not too much though.

These meals are full of everything you need to start the day and will keep you full for a longer time and keep your metabolism up.

Mid morning snack:

a little fruit and a handful of nuts (cashews, almonds etc)

or

a black coffee (no milk will really make a difference - and no sugar either) and some nuts

Lunch:

grilled chicken breast or fish or a quality piece of meat with a small serving of steamed veges (do not over do the veges to retain their nutrient content)

Maybe a sandwich but only wholemeal or rye bread and no flavour such as butter, or mayo. Add cold meat like chicken and have it with avacado, tomato, cucumber. Top with a vegetable juice of carrot, celerey, orange and aplle with a dash of ginger and lemon.

Mid afternoon snack:

If you didnt eat all of your lunch or if you made extra, have the rest now - either the other half of the sandwich or a few mouthfuls of the grilled meat and steamed veges you made earlier.

Black coffee is ok

Dinner:

Less carbs is good so stay away from pasta in the evening. When I am serious about losing fat I do not have pasta ever as much as I enjoy it. A wholemeal rice is fine but only a cup full. Again have grilled fish or chicken breast or meat - as little fat on all of them as possible.

If you have a salad have tuna with it.

Supper:

Again, have a few mouthfuls of the left over dinner - it is always good to cook extra and eat it as a snack as both lunch and dinner are well balanced meals, do not contain to much of any one thing, and will fill you up.

Eating like this all day will keep your nutrient levels up, which will stop all your cravings. It will also keep your energy levels constant which will stop cravings as well and keep you burning fat.

Yes, I know, black coffee isn't as nice as with milk but if you add up all the calories you aren't ingesting by doing these little alterations you will be having over 300-500 calories less each day and considering one kilogram of fat on your body is 1,700 calories, you will be sheding 1 kilogram of fat every four days. AMAZING. SIMPLE. Yet requires some planning and effort. But it is well worth it.

I'll add new and delicious meal ideas as I discover them.

Enjoy the fat melting away.
