Weight Loss Meal Ideas

 

When you embark on a weight loss diet program there is always a danger of becoming bored with our food choices. Unhealthy foods can often be much more appealing. Think of deeply about weight loss meal ideas which can be endless. Imagine a choice of a healthy green salad or a juicy burger with fries, which would most of us opt for? To help maintain a healthy eating plan that we can happily stick to in the long-term, we need to be imaginative and inventive to make our meals and snacks tasty, exciting and delicious.

 

If we can achieve this we will be less likely to indulge in our former unhealthy options. How can we achieve this? Below are 4 ideas to help breath new life into our weight loss plan: Be Inventive and Create New Snacks We often get into a routine of eating the same, often uninspiring snacks. A stick of celery with low-fat cheese, fresh fruit or crackers with pate, these are all ideal diet snacks but if we eat these on a daily basis we will soon become bored with them and crave something more tasty and appealing. A snack need not be just a quick bite. It is actually better viewed as a mini meal. Here are a few suggestions for low-calorie healthy snacks: vegetable stir fry fajita, tuna or cottage cheese tortilla wrap with salad, vegetable soup with whole grain crackers, a small jacket potato with a little veg made with low-calorie mayonnaise, baked mushrooms or tomatoes stuffed with tuna and sweet corn or a vegetable rice mix.

Be Adventurous and Try a New Vegetable Each Week There are so many varied and delicious vegetables that many of us may never have heard of or even tried.

By choosing different vegetables which are new to us, we can aim to introduce a different one each week into our diet instead of sticking with the same ones week after week.

 

If we are not familiar with the preparation and cooking of any new vegetables, then recipe books or online recipe sites will help. We can also follow the same idea with new varieties of fruit. In fact, we can explore many other food groups such as different poultry, fish, meat, sea food, bread legumes and cheeses, the list is endless and the more adventurous we become the more appealing our diet will become. Experiment with New Beverages We know how important it is to keep our body hydrated, but we tend to get into a routine of always choosing the same beverages. Why should we stick to the same brand of coffee, tea, juice, bottles water and soda drinks? Why not try something new? Obviously we need to observe the calorie and sugar content of many beverage options to make sure they are not too high.

 

There are numerous exciting and refreshing flavored teas and coffees to choose from as well as various flavored still and sparkling waters. We can of course opt occasionally for diet sodas, but taking care not to drink too many containing artificial sweeteners as these can be as addictive as sweetened drinks and may cause a host of other illnesses when consumed too much. We can also try vegetable juice to add a little variety and boost our vitamin and mineral intake. Maintaining a constant interest in our meals and snacks can be easy, we just need to be prepared to try new things, be adventurous and inventive and we will breathe new life into our meal plan each and every.
