Looking for weight loss meal plans?

has anyone seen any meal plans or ideas that promote a healthy diet but also helps control weight. It would be even better if it helps loose weight. Nothing hard core, just a easy plan I can add some exercise to and feel and look better.
The meals don’t need to be fancy, but something like a weight watchers meal. I mainly need guidance on how to balence my meal types.

Oh and the last thing is I’m looking for something free. It’s the internet and I know everything is out there for free somewhere.

weight loss cardiff answers:

4 weeks ago I started a plan that entailed the following:

Breakfast: 2/3 Cup Nonfat Yogurt with berries

Snack (between breakfast and lunch): One Triangle Laughing Cow Light Cheese and an apple.

Lunch: Chicken Breast / With Salad and veggies

Snack: Triangle LCL Cheese and 1/3 Protein Bar

Dinner: Protein based main course (Fish, Pork, Steak, chicken breast) Veggies and salad.

I cut back on Caffeine, Beer etc and drink lots of water.

Lost 18 lbs to this point.

Steven asks…

Good Weight loss Foods? Fast and Easy to make a must.?

I have decided to try to lose a few pounds but have no clue what I should be eating. I hate to and therefore never cook. I eat hot pockets for lunch and Mcdonald’s for dinner usually. So I need good fod ideas for my new weight loss plan. But it has to be fast easy stuff. Like Natural foods (besides all the fruits and veggies) and wrap ideas and what kind of wraps I should use. And if there are any processed foods that are less than terrible for me. And just for the record I am not a big chicken fan. Except for processes chicken slices which I am sure are not healthy :o) Any other tips you have are welcome. I really want to succeed this time. Excerise ideas would be welcome too as I plan to start one of those as well. I understand I need both healthy food and excersise to lose the weight and keep it off. That is why it is so important to me to make it as easy to fit into my lifestyle. So i’ll stick with it, so any loss will be for life.

weight loss cardiff answers:

I think that this is a battle you will face for a lifetime unless you decide to change your lifestyle. Hot pockets and McDonalds are not good food choices. You have to prepare your foods.

Simply eating fruits and veggies everyday require some thought. Go to http://www.mypyramid.gov and find out what you should be eating everyday. How you choose to prepare those foods is your choice- simple cooking techniques are easy to learn – and a salad with no-low cal dressing, a piece of fruit, and a container of yogurt, is as simple as anything to fix for lunch. Learning to eat fish is a lifeline to maintain weight loss.

Make sure you buy at least 3 servings EACH of fruit and vegetables for each day. No cooking involved!! I make sure I buy 21 pieces/servings of fruit every week.

Betty asks…

What is a good weight loss plan? and easy to follow?

weight loss cardiff answers:

It’s easier to follow a workout or weight loss plan if you work out on the same days, first of all. If weight loss is your goal, cardio will help you lose weight. I recommend at least two days a week of cardio. Try to not make those two days consecutive days of the week if you can, and try to work out on the same days of the week. There are different types of workouts you can try. I think jogging is a good one for beginners to practice. Swimming and aerobics are also good for losing excess weight. Start off easy, but gradually increase the difficulty of your workout. Some people like using treadmills because you can keep track of how fast you’re running – it’s easy to gradually increase the difficulty of your cardio if you can keep track of the workouts on your treadmill.

Mary asks…

do i factor in calories burned from exercise into my daily caloric intake to lose weight?

i calculated from a weight loss calculator online that to maintain my current weight i should consume no more than 1700 calories a day and subtract 500 calories a day from that amount to lose about a pound a week. so i try to eat no more than 1200 calories a day. if i exercise and burn aprox. 200 calories does that mean i can eat 1400 calories a day and still lose the same amount of weight?

weight loss cardiff answers:

In theory yes this is correct

It’s got menu and workout planners, and an integrated calorie calculator that lets you calculate how many calories you eat, and then how many you burn when you work out.

I am 13 and overweight. I have already talked to my mom about losing weight, and now I need a good website, that is free, that I can use to help me track my weight loss and exercise. Some good weight loss tips would also be very helpful. I really want to have people wow at me. because if I was leaner, I think I would look really good. But I need some help! Thanks Bunches! 😀

Self magazine is a great website. You’ll have to register, but then you get a workout log, and a food diary where you keep up with what you eat and do. It’s got a lot of fitness videos and weight loss tips.

Jenny asks…

Good Weight Loss Plans for Vegetarians?

I am a vegetarian, but I am fairly interested in losing weight or becoming more healthy. Sure, vegetarianism is a healthier lifestyle, but I still feel like I could do more to live healthier. I was wondering if any of you had really healthy meal ideas for a me!

Thanks a bundle!
Oh, I do exercise.

And I mostly eat soups, pastas and salads. I was just trying to think of other things to eat.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Soups, salads, and pasta are fine for weight loss, as long as the pasta is whole grain pasta. Sweet potatoes are also excellent weight loss foods. Be careful not to eat fried foods, and avoid oily salad dressings. They can add more calories than the salad itself!

You might want to move toward being a vegan rather than a vegetarian. The most important factor in choosing weight loss foods is their calorie density. Calorie density is determined by the amount of fiber, water, and fat that are in a food. Since eggs and dairy products contain absolutely no fiber, they will never be as good in the “calorie density” department as whole plants foods will. To learn which vegan foods have a low calorie density and which ones don’t, see:

Helen asks…

What are some simple weight loss plans or ideas I can use?

I’m not overweight, but i’m really trying to cut down on the fat and lose a couple (hopefully more) pounds or so.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Hi Ashley! Because you’re not overweight, you don’t have to enroll to any weight loss programs out there. And I am pretty sure you don’t want to sweat, like me! I don’t want strenuous exercise, i’m too busy and sometimes i’m too lazy.

Here’s what I do daily, very very simple, to keep me from stocking on fats (despite the fact that I have a big appetite! Ahaha)

1. I drink water before I eat. This way I feel full so I eat less. Plus, I don’t drink water right after meal This makes me feel bloated. I wait for around 30 mins before I drink water.

2. I don’t sit down right away after meals. I feel like my belly is getting bigger every time I do that since it’s very full

3. I stay away from soda and iced teas. I’d rather drink fresh fruit juice (not the ones in can) and/or water

4. When I feel like reading a book while lying in bed, I lie 90 degrees from the wall with my feet and legs landing on the wall. They say it helps lessen belly fats

5. When I feel like dancing, I dance! It’s like an exercise but I’m enjoying it

6. I play basketball in arcades. Sometimes when I feel like it, I play basketball in arcades. It’s fun and exciting!

These are just simple tips. Hope it helps!

Any good weight loss plans for my horses?

I have a few overweight horses…. i was wondering if there are some other things that i can do other than lots of exercize and put them on a diet….. like suppliments or anything that im not doing?
I know about putting them on a diet and more exercize…. i need some ideas like about some EXERCIZE plans for them. ones that will burn fat and build muscle.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Horses are grazers, so the primary source of nutrition, should come from forage. (grasses, and/or high quality, clean hay) Everyone has preferences for the type of hay, such as alfalfa, bermuda, orchard, etc., just make sure it’s clean, dust and mold free, and make sure your horse will eat it! Some horses don’t like certain hays, and won’t touch them. Don’t count flakes of hay, go by weight of the hay. Rather than going to high fat items, such as oils, or certain feeds, with added fats, try using good nutrition, instead. Fat equates to fake nutrition, since it adds weight, without any real nutritional value. (A horse’s daily requirement of fat, is less than 5%.)

There is a simple formula, for calculating how much to feed a horse, and it will work if you want one to gain weight, lose weight, or maintain it’s weight, and it’s based on feeding to a “goal body weight”, or the weight you want the horse to weigh.

Based on a horse’s workload, and it’s general ability to maintain weight, a horse should be fed between 1 1/2% and 2 1/2% of it’s goal body weight, in feedstuffs. (grass, hay, and grain/concentrates) It’s best to start with 2% of it’s goal weight, and you can re-evaluate the effectiveness, after 21 days, and make adjustments, if needed.

If you don’t have access to a livestock scale, use a weight tape, they are accurate, within 10 to 15 pounds, and keep a record of the horse’s weight, for reference.

Example: thin horse, who currently weighs 850 pounds, who should weigh 1000 pounds. This horse will be fed a total of 2%, or 20 pounds of feedstuffs, every 24 hours, for the first 21 days. If you feel a need to use grain, feed a minimal amount, of 2 pounds, 2 times per day, of the best quality feed. I prefer pelleted feed, it digests better than whole grains. Feed 8 pounds, of clean, high quality hay, 2 times per day.

At the 21 day mark, evaluate how the horse is doing, and make any adjustments, up or down, as needed. Slow gain, is healthy gain, and avoids health problems, such as founder and colic.
