The Benefits of the Healthy weight Loss Eating Plan
The plan consists of 28days worth of daily menus that
embrace the Healthiest way of Eating. Since each of the breakfasts, lunches,
dinners, and snacks for the week have a similar level of calories and
nutrients, the Plan feature a flexible approach that allows you to swap meals
from one day to the next, if you would like. This will allow you to make the
plan work for your individual needs.
HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE TEA
The plan features Healthier Lifestyle Tea, which you
drink before each meal. This tea is made from green tea and lemon juice. Green
tea is not only delicious but is renowned for is health-promoting properties.
These have been linked to a high concentration of catechin phytonutrients,
which have a wide variety of protective benefits, many related to their potent
ability to cleanse free radicals. Adding 1 teaspoon lemon juice per cup of
green tea not only gives in a refreshing taste but additional benefits. There
have been studies that have found that participant received weight loss
benefits drinking green tea.
HIGH-ENERGY BREAKFAST
Breakfasts feature good carbohydrates—primarily from
fruits and whole grains—and delicious foods rich in protein—primarily from
nuts, seeds, and eggs—to provide you with the energy you need to make it
through the morning feeling satisfied, curbing your appetite until lunch. They
offer you a supply of omeha-3 fatty acids from walnuts and flaxseeds. Their
appetite-satisfying qualities also come from the concentrations of dietary
fiber that they provide.
ENERGIZING SNACKS
Each day you’ll enjoy energizing snacks that provide
you with delicious tastes. Sweet fruits will curb a sweet tooth while giving
you vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and other nutrients. Nuts and seeds will
offer you protein and other nutrients that may help reduce blood sugar dips.
Studies have found that people who snack on nuts and seeds (in moderation) tend
to be slimmer than those who don’t consume these delicious foods.
POWER LUNCH
The plan’s lunches are delicious while keeping your
appetite satisfied. They are a good mixture of protein, carbohydrates and good
fats.
Most lunches feature a delicious salad, a great facet
of a healthy weight loss approach.
Good fats—like omega-3s from seafood and
monounsaturated fats from extra virgin olive oil—are important to health on
many levels including helping with the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients and phytonutrients.
As a concentrated source of monounsaturated fats, you’ll find extra virgin
olive oil, which has antioxidant nutrients and also helps enhance the flavor of
the dishes to which you apply it. Some studies have found that extra virgin
olive oil can lead to small, but significant, loss of both body weight and
mass.
SLIMMING DINNER
Each dinner includes a Green Power Slide Dish. These
easy-to-prepare foods are at the cornerstone of the Healthiest Way of Eating.
These foods are so rich in chlorophyll and contain so many nutrients (including
flavonoid and carotenoid antioxidants) but yet they have so few calories that
they are essential to healthy weight loss. These nutrients will help support
optimal metabolism because it provides you body systems with the nutrients it
needs; if you don’t have enough nutrients to support your metabolism, you won’t
be able to optimize your weight loss.
Green Power Side Dishes can be so important for
healthy weight loss. Just think if you ate two cups of green vegetables in
place of a baked potato with butter or margarine, you’ll save over 300 calories.
These foods are also low in GI so they help balance blood sugar.
SWEET DESSERTS
While desserts are optional in the plan, if you want
dessert, I think that fresh fruit makes a great one as it can curb a sweet
tooth while at the same time providing you with a storehouse of
health-promoting nutrients. These nutrients include antioxidants that help to
quench free radicals in the body. Choosing a healthy sweet dessert can really
make a difference when it comes to weight loss; for example, a parfait made with
low-fat yogurt and berries will save you 200 calories compared with eating one
cup of ice cream.
