How To Lose Weight
Weight loss, in the most basic sense, comes down to a simple plan. You need to eat less calories than you burn. Period. The best way to do this, is to diet and exercise. But you already knew that. So, let’s get to the meal plan. . .
I can sum up the meal plan up in six simple words: Eat small, well balanced meals throughout the day. But you want more specifics than that, right? Ok, here we go.
Eat 3 meals and 2 snacks every day. If you need to, you can add a third snack. Space each meal/snack about 3 hours apart.

Eat one serving of the following with each snack. I do recommend not eating dairy during your weight loss plan, but if you feel you need it, eat it with you snacks:
- Almonds

- Sugar
- Fast Food
- Creamy salad dressings (Ranch, 1000 Island, etc.)
Example Of Weight Loss Meals
Ok, so what does a day’s worth of meals and snacks look like? Check out the sample below:
6:00am Fitness Training.
7:30am 2 eggs scrambled in non-stick pan with chopped green pepper and onion, 1 piece of wheat toast dry, small fruit cup of berries, melon, and pineapple, 1 cup of black coffee.
10:30am 10 almonds, 1 apple.
1:00pm Large spinach salad with cucumber, celery, grilled chicken breast, and 1/2 tablespoon of Italian dressing.
4:00pm Handful of walnuts, 1 orange.
6:30pm Grilled steak, large portion of steamed asparagus, small side salad with lettuce, tomato, and small amount of vinaigrette dressing.
9:00pm 4 celery sticks with small amount of natural peanut butter.
Some other final tips:
- Drink a large glass of water with each meal and snack.
- Pre-cook and prepackage your meals and snacks for the rest of the week. I usually do this on Sunday. This is MUCH easier if you eat the same meals each day.
- If it comes in a wrapper or other packaging, don’t eat it
