Healthy Meals For Weight Loss

There are differing opinions on choosing healthy meal plans for weight loss but in this post, the aim is to provide you with honest, accurate, and up-to-date advice on choosing the correct one for you.

It must be right. Remember, you will get a lot of available information on this topic from in the vast world of the internet, some free and some paid.

Do you Need More Healthy Meals?

Most, not all of the foods, that taste like you need more and are delicious are, in all honesty, bad for us. As I said just, not all of these delicious foods are bad for you.

But, things like fizzy drinks, chocolate, and crisps for example really must be “Off-limits” for anyone who is indeed attempting weight loss. It will never be achieved whilst still eating these foods. That is a fact.

You do not have to exactly count your calories rather just be aware of roughly what you are eating. This is of course unless you have been instructed otherwise by a medical professional.

It also happens to be a given that if you do exchange all of your “junk” food then your calorie intake will be drastically reduced anyway.

If you just want to lose weight you can start with the swap method although if you wish to achieve a specific, exact weight, then you will need to count them obviously.

Now a point that I must make as I have repeatedly said throughout this site is that finding foods to eat and lose weight is of total importance to you.

They are not all bland, tasteless, and boring foods, no, you can actually buy a variety of these healthy foods now as we are advancing our knowledge in this field being that obesity is becoming more and more of an issue

These Should Be Part Of Your Healthy Meal Plans For Weight Loss

You really need to consume what is called a balanced diet. To put it very simply you need to eat foods that contain a little of each of the vitamins and minerals which the body requires.

Of course, this goes alongside an exercise/activity but it is of great importance you do this to obtain the best from your weight loss attempt.

We will start with the free options first. Well, free other than the cost of the produce.

Potatoes

Now I have personally found that this starchy carbohydrate food tends to increase the waistline if I eat too much of it. This is why it is imperative (very important) that you reduce the portion size of the potato in any dish you are about to eat.

Now I am aware that these potatoes will be a staple part of a lot of your diets. So please, feel free to still eat them in moderation they are not too bad, but as I said, just reduce your portion size and you will be fine.

If you are going to mash them then use butter and not margarine as margarine is deemed unhealthy for you on a number of levels. New research has found that butter is not as bad for us as previously thought!

Cauliflower Mash

If it is that you are attempting to reduce your carbohydrate intake then why not try this healthy alternative to having mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes are used in a lot of meals so maybe quick and easy replacements are on the cards.

Cauliflower mash is very very easy to make up and takes very little time. You will not be ingesting any carbohydrates in comparison to the top-heavy potatoes which are full of them.

Now to make this delicious version of the traditional cauliflower you are going to need a blender at least. This is unless you have a food processor which if you have then great as it will make it even easier to make.

You cut the cauliflower into manageable bite-size pieces and boil or steam the cauliflower then put it into your appliance and you have it. Now seriously, how easy was that?

And you are getting lots of minerals from eating it too. You can use it to replace mashed potatoes in practically anything, even a shepherd’s or cottage pie.

Pasta Can (Wholemeal) Be A Part Of Your Healthy Meal Plans For Weight Loss

Now pasta can be somewhat of a nightmare for our weight. And from a personal point of view, I absolutely love it. And what has made this even better is the fact that I know I  eat pasta that is far healthier for me.

But, what am I saying? Well, I eat whole wheat pasta. Brown pasta is nowhere near as bad for your weight as “normal” pasta is. It has much less carbohydrate content.

 

 Fries SHOULDN’T Be A Part Of  Your Healthy Meal Plans For Weight Loss

They are, well, I guess a double negative. Not only do they contain a high amount of carbohydrates (in the potato) but you also need to be aware of the oil that they are cooked in. Most people do not cook them in healthy oils such as oils that contain monounsaturated fats.

Especially when deep-frying we need to avoid oils that contain polyunsaturated fats. So please read the label. If it does contain it then do not buy it.

Courgette Fries Should Be A Part Of Your Healthy Meal Plans For Weight Loss

These again are a really healthy alternative to fries and are also so much easier to cook than their potato counterparts. Believe it or not, if you have not heard of them before then you probably will as they are rapidly becoming the health foodies’ choice to munch on.

So maybe they do not quite taste as nice as a chip (although that is just my personal opinion) they are slowly but surely hitting the big time.

Now to some, it would be questionable as to whether the courgette (Zucchini) contains too much water. If it did then it would make the batter steam and not actually fry. There is, however, an easy solution to this problem.

You simply rub it with salt in and then fry it, as this will take out the water from it. And it will then fry perfectly. It is also a great way to season your fries too, so you can  ” Kill two birds with one stone.”

When it comes to cutting these fries before you fry you have a big allowance for them. You can cut them thin or have them chunky or anywhere in between. Play around with them and you will be sure to find a suitable size for you.

For the batter, it is simple enough just to use flour. And if you want extra crispiness, then you could add some milk to the flour.

Just be sure that you are cooking them in vegetable oil or olive oil.

Pizzas, Not A Part Of Your Healy Meal Plans For Weight Loss

Let us face it, there are not many people who do not like a slice of pizza. People eat them worldwide in big amounts. The negative that should stand out is the fact that they have a lot of calories.

When I say a lot I mean a lot. The average-sized pizza (9-9.5 inches) will set you back by around 1100 calories which is massive. AGAIN ARE NO GO ON A DIET!!!

 

 

A Healthy Option Instead Of Pizza Bases For Your  Healthy Meal Plans For Weight Loss

Now a lot of gluten-free people are following the paleo diet. Well, they choose to use cauliflower as their choice of the pizza base.

This obviously reduces the number of carbohydrates that you are consuming and increases your nutrient intake. This can only be a good thing, right? Now, amazingly enough, it is strong enough to hold all of your toppings. This is something that I had doubts over when I first tried it, but, it actually really did work.

Now, to get a truly easy grain-free pizza crust that you need, however. You need to wait less than 12 minutes. It is so easy to prepare,  What am I talking about? I am of course speaking of the butternut squash pizza base. This is a delicious base suitable for paleo, gluten, and dairy-free eaters.

If you need to obtain the recipes for these refreshing bases then Google the recipes. Trust me, This is the better way to be healthy.

 

You see, once you have got your healthy meal plans for weight loss in place. Then, all that you need to have is the other half of the fix. This is in order for your weight loss attempt to be a success. I am of course talking about the exercise.
