5-Day Meal Plan That Gets Results

Local Meal Delivery Subscription | Organic Paleo & Vegan Meal ...

Getting to or maintining a healthy weight is one of life's toughest battles because it's always ongoing. And, for many, it's the determining factor between feeling good or feeling lousy.

Gaining weight can affect your confidence, strain your joints and muscles, and contribute to problems at work or in a relationship.

If you're killing yourself at the gym and not seeing results, the problem is simple - you're putting in more calories than you are able to burn off.

This 5-day plan will help you get overeating back in check, and you'll develop a new eating style that fits your budget and your waistline.

First Things First

Women should typically shoot for no more than 1,400 calories a day to shed excess body fat. Most men should try to hit the 1,800-calorie mark.

Start by being mindful of the normal amount, on average, that you consume on any given day. Eat your usual, and tally up the calories. Are you currently at 2,200 calories but want to get it down to 1,500?

This meal plan will help you stay full throughout the day despite limiting your calories.

Then, get right back on it again and go full force with the confidence that if you had the self-control to stick with it for one week, you can follow it until you hit your goal.

Did you ever notice that when you’re fat, men don’t look you in the eye? They look across your shoulder. There’s no eye contact. Up until two years ago, I was never looked in the eye. By anyone.

About 18 months ago, my husband George left a “Dear Brenda” letter on my dresser. And filed for divorce. I knew that my weight was the source of my troubles so I tried 14 different diets. One by one. And I failed at all of them. The chance encounter that changed everything ...
