In former years health practitioners often suggested that under weight individuals indulge in any foods possible to gain the weight, including butters and creams and a whole array of unhealthy fats and sugars. With time they realised how unhealthy this option was and caused patient to suffer from high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other significant consequences that are harmful to your body and health.

The secret is finding healthy yet calorie-dense foods like heavy serials and mueslis with fruits and nuts. Think about dense fruits like papaya and bananas, they are heavier than watery fruits like oranges and also offer a larger amount of healthy calories. Incorporating high calorie fruit juices to your diet also aids in gaining the needed weight, but if it fills you up too much opt for having them between meals rather than with your meals. For a full comprehensive list of all foods that are high in calories yet healthy see the list below:

Fats

Olives, avacodo, non-hydrogenated spreads, olive oil, cream cheese, mayo, sour cream, heavy whipping cream, bue cheese dressing and creamy dressings.

Carbs

Grape nuts, granola, granola bars, organic food bars, shredded wheat, tortillas, grainy breads, bagels, crackers, seeded crispbread, bananas, grapes, dried fruits, brown Rice, oatmeal, barley, quinoa, homemade baked goods, yams, potatoes/natural chips, fritos/tortilla chips, sesame sticks, corn nuts, peas, corn, beans/refried beans, chestnuts, mollasses, honey, maple syrup, raw cane sugar, all-fruit jellies/preserves, ketchup, relish, BBQ sauce and steak sauce.

Proteins

Beans or refried beans, hummus, salmon, tuna canned in oil, sardines canned in oil, dark meat chicken with the skin. Red meat, whole eggs, cheese, evaporated whole milk/powdered milk, greek/whole fat or full cream yogurt and healthy Herbalife protein powders

Finding a weight loss eating plan that works is perhaps the most difficult part of starting a healthy lifestyle. With numerous diets and so-called proven eating plans advertised people often jump from one diet to another with disastrous results.

A weight loss eating plan that works is one that you can follow on a daily basis even after you have lost the kilograms or pounds you want to lose. This means that the plan must be sustainable. If one cannot follow the diet to maintain weight afterwards it will mean that a person will revert back to old habits. The old habits caused the weight gain in the first place and as such an alternative is needed that can be sustained and will not take up a lot of preparation time.

Eat Smaller Healthier Meals Regularly

The correct way to lose weight is to eat more regularly. Rather than eating one to three meals a day, ensure that you follow a diet that allows for five to six meals a day. It may sound crazy, but considering that it is healthier to eat smaller portions more regularly than larger portions stretched a few hours apart, it starts to make sense.

When eating healthy small meals more regularly, you will help your body to sustain its energy levels, burn the food faster and use all the nutrients more efficiently. It is the waste that you want to minimize. With large portions, it takes longer to absorb and burn all the foods. The fatty foods not burned fast enough will be turned into fat which will be stored for when the body will need energy. You want to avoid the storage cycle.

Smaller and more regular meals also help to regulate the body’s internal clock. In turn, it will help to regulate the sugar levels and cravings. Instead of having a tremendous amount of energy for a short period and then going into a fatigue slump, the body gets sustainable energy and thus fat burning capacity throughout the day. Below are some parts of a weight loss eating plan that works.

Seven Day Eating Plan

Follow a seven day eating plan that is repeated over the long term. Note that the weight loss eating plan really works because it includes the essential portions from every food group. A well balanced diet must be followed if you want to sustain it. If it is not properly balanced deficiencies will occur. Once the body is deficient of one or more nutrients it will lose its capacity to burn fat, sustain energy, and fight disease.

Breakfast

It is perhaps the most important meal of the day. If you fail to eat breakfast, the body will go into starvation mode, thus storing everything that comes later in the day to prevent starvation. Without breakfast the body will also struggle to maintain sugar levels, metabolism and thus fat burning capacity. Your body needs the breakfast.

Snack

The second meal is that of a snack. You will follow each main meal with a snack in between. This will help to curb cravings and to keep the energy levels up. The secret is to eat a healthy snack that will not cause sugar spikes, but helps to retain the body’s ability to function. By eating a healthy snack you will also not crave for sweets, cookies and other foods that may negatively affect your weight loss eating plan.

Lunch

Traditionally people eat huge breakfasts or unhealthy boxed cereals followed by an equally huge portion at lunch. Note that you will want to stay away from foods that will lower the body’s energy levels. At the same time, you will need something that will give protein. Without proteins you will burn muscle and not fat. A body without muscle is weak and the desired toning will not occur. Small portions are essential. Include protein weight loss shakes in your eating plan.

Dinner

As a rule of thumb, don’t eat dinner after seven in the evening. It is night time and the body is already slowing down. It is essential at this time of day to eat light foods which can sustain the body through the night without causing fat storage.

Healthy Protein and Weight Loss Shakes

Invest in weight loss shakes from companies that have been around for a long time. The well-known brands that focus on herbs and protein are the best. Such shakes will include the right amount of protein and a combination of weight loss herbs which are natural and will enhance the fat burning capacity of the body.

Replace two of the five meals a day with proven weight loss formulas. This will ensure that your body will get everything it needs to lose weight whilst sustaining energy and improving your overall health. Don’t drink the shakes only between the main meals, but rather use them to replace one to two of the main meals a day.

Example of a Weight Loss Eating Plan that Works

• Day 1 Breakfast
  Two spoons of the Formula 1 (from a reputable lifestyle and weight-loss company such as Herbalife).
• Day 1 Snack
  Raw celery and carrots with low fat dressing. As alternative eat a protein bar.
• Day 1 Lunch
  Protein shake which contains a combination of Formula 1 and 3. You can drink the shakes with semi-skimmed milk and water which enhance the taste. Stay away from full cream milk.
• Day 1 Snack
  Protein bar, cottage cheese or a Thermojetics herbal drink.
• Day 1 Dinner
  Chicken breast with soy sprouts. Don’t fry the chicken. You can add a bit of carrots, dark green salad with a low calorie dressing, onions and squash.

The next day should look slightly different because the body needs variety. If it gets into a set routine, it will reach a ceiling regarding weight loss. In addition, you want to ensure that the body gets all the required nutrients in a seven day period.

• Day 2 Breakfast
  Start the day with a protein formula shake combination enjoyed with semi-skimmed milk to enhance taste, but without the fat content of full cream milk.
• Day 2 Snack
  Apple Thermojetics Herbal drink and cottage cheese.
• Day 2 Lunch
  One cup of tomato soup together with tuna mixed with chopped vegetables and a quarter of an avocado with a light Italian dressing.
• Day 2 Snack
  Low fat yoghurt.
• Day 2 Dinner
  Finish the day with the formula protein mix shake made with semi-skimmed milk.

The day three menu once again varies slightly from the previous two days to prevent boredom from slipping in and risking the success of the weight loss eating plan. This method works because it has variety.

• Day 3 Breakfast
  Enjoy one of the formula protein shakes mixed with semi-skimmed milk and water.
• Day 3 Snack
  Protein bar or cottage cheese and a Thermojetics herbal drink.
• Day 3 Lunch
  Drink another protein formula shake mixed with water and semi-skimmed milk.
• Day 3 Snack
  One fruit, a protein bar and tomato juice.
• Day 3 Dinner
  Crab meat and one half avocado with a dark green salad, reduced fat cheese which is grated together with soy sprouts, a sliced mango and a low fat calorie dressing for the mixed salad.

The body will have adjusted to the new way of eating by day four and you will find that by now your energy levels will have improved and results begin to show.

• Day 4 Breakfast, First Snack and Lunch
  Repeat the routine of day 3 for the breakfast, first snack and lunch.
• Day 4 Snack
  Eat a protein bar or enjoy one nectarine and low fat yoghurt.
• Day 4 Dinner
  Treat yourself to a soy protein burger with grilled peppers, onions and aubergine, as well as soy sprouts in a tossed green salad covered with a low calorie dressing.

The eating plan for days 5, 6, and 7 has some more variations including for instance, oatmeal as part of an early snack, fresh pear, spinach and other essential foods. When making use of a well planned weight loss program that includes protein shakes, Thermojetics herbal drinks and protein bars, it will ensure weight loss that can be sustained. A weight loss eating plan that works thus includes a variety, ensuring that you can keep it up over a long period.
