It surprises many people how much weight they can lose in just one week if they start paying attention to exactly how they live their lives. Because most of us have such fast paced, busy lives we tend to do the things that are most convenient, but often this is not what is best for our bodies. Fast food, frozen food, and very little exercise is what is usually most convenient. Luckily, there are ways to make eating healthier and to even fit in some exercise, even if you are one of the very busy! All you need is a one week diet to lose weight.
First, you
need to look at your diet.
Cutting
back to 1000 calories a day is pretty drastic, and should only be used if you
just want to lose a few pounds quickly, or feel the need to kick-start a longer
term weight loss plan. Our 1000 Calorie Diet Menu sample packs in as much good
nutrition as possible whilst trying to keep it simple, tasty and realistic.
This menu provides 1000
calories, 60g protein, 145g carbohydrate, 21g fat.
Breakfast
- Banana sandwich made with 2 small slices of whole meal bread and a small banana.
- 200ml glass of orange juice
Morning Snack
- 100g pot of low fat fruit yoghurt
Lunch
- 1 wholemeal roll (45g) filled with 70g tuna (canned in brine) and 10g reduced calorie mayonnaise
- Mixed salad of 50g lettuce, 50g red or yellow sweet peppers, 10g spring onions.
Afternoon Snack
- 28g bag of lower fat crisps (eg. Walkers Lites)
Dinner
- 70g Roast Chicken breast (without skin)
- 80g Potatoes, mashed with 30ml semi-skimmed milk
- 60g Broccoli, steamed or boiled
- 50g Carrots, boiled
- 100ml Gravy (made from granules)
Evening
- 1 serving of low calorie Hot Chocolate Drink made with powder and water (eg. Cadbury's Highlights)
As you can
see, losing weight doesn’t have to be difficult. You don’t have to totally
change your lifestyle or even stop eating the foods that you crave; you just
need to do everything in moderation. You’ll see a change in your body in the
first week for sure, but the longer you keep with it the more changes you’ll
see. If you have even a month before you want to fit into that sexy dress or
you just want to look or feel better, you can do it. The first week is just a
start, so keep up a good thing and continue the healthy habits so that you can
feel good about yourself on the inside as well as the outside.
