My Share of Free Diet Meal Plans that I’ve “Collected” and tried Myself


Free Diet Meal PlansAs a man that has been continuously struggling to keep his weight, I’ve had my share of diets and I’ve learnt to know which are good and which aren’t. Because some diets didn’t woke for me but they could work for someone else, for someone that has a bit more determination, I’ve picked up best plans form various and decided to present them here. The effective meal plans diet are also available in any free diet that can be read about the internet, so I’m only sharing with you some of my experience when dieting and mentioning some of the few ones I’ve found beneficial for my metabolism and weight problems.

One of the best free diet meal plans I’ve tried was the one that had a three day plan to be repeated at least 5 time, so basically a two week diet plan.

First Day: You are not allowed to eat anything but fruits. Breakfast: 3 bananas and a fruit smoothie made at home, with apples, apricots, plums, grapefruits or any other fruits you can get your hands on. Lunch: Eat a big salad with vegetables like tomatoes, lettuce, olives, onion, pickles and put nuts in it. Dinner: Have a big slice of boiled fat free meat, with one backed potato.

Second Day: You can eat anything, but don’t go over 1200 calories. Also, eat 6 meals, not just three. Salads, yogurts, fish, fruits, go creative on this one.

Third Day: Focus on vegetables. Breakfast: Have a glass of apple juice then eat fresh vegetables, 350 grams, with a slice of cow’s cheese or a small chicken meat slice. Lunch: Eat a portion of cabbage soup and then have a plate of boiled vegetables with a slice of fish. Dinner: Today, you will go for a diary based dinner plan. This means, yogurt and cereals, milk and cereals with honey, cow cheese with vegetables, rice and cheese, rice and milk and any other combination you can thing of, Dinner should not weight more that 400 grams.

The free diet meal plans that include a seven day diet have always been difficult to follow. And mostly, these diet meal plans, when they are too restrictive, will not measure good results in the long run. I’ve tried the dislocated diet, that urges you to eat one aliment a day, and here’s the meal plan I took. I did lose 12 pounds, but immediately after I’ve put 7 of them back on. Some voices say that this plan is not well regarded in the long run.

First Day: Diary products, as much as you want. Milk, cheese, cream, butter. But nothing more, no bread, no nothing.
Second day: Combine bread with cereals and biscuits and basically anything else made from cereal flour or cereals. You can drink water or tea.
Third Day: Eat fresh fruits, drink only fresh fruit juice and water.
Forth day: Eat fresh or boiled vegetables. Do not eat more that two vegetable types at one meal. This means if you want to eat potatoes and tomatoes, that’s all for one meal. You can eat them in any quantity.
Fifth day: Today you eat meat. Veal, chicken, boiled or barbecued. The trick is to eat only meat, no salad with it, no nothing. You can also eat met products as liver pasta, or other similar stuff. Again, as much as you want, but no more than two types of meat products at each meal. You can drink water, coffer and tea.
Sixth Day: Rice. Boiled, backed…in any combination as long as there’s a 90% rice and 10% something else. This means you can add anything into it, even vegetables, meat, sauces, anything. Just keep the percents.
Seventh Day: This is the last day. You have to slowly get accustomed again to healthy eating. So, you will dislocate only meals. Eat one singular aliment at each meal, and snack. Eat milk at breakfast, or eggs, or ham. Have cheese for lunch. And meat for dinner. You can combine thing differently, this is just what I’ve done.

Also, I’ve tried a few combined free diet meal plans that worked wonders, and only because they were made up of healthy aliments and were not making me miss anything.

Breakfast free diet meal plans:

1. Make an omelet without oil. Add a few slices of tomatoes on top of it. Eat it with a slice of cereal bread and a glass of fresh orange juice.
2. Make a muffin from whole cereals. Or eat one already made, but make sure it’s natural. Place on the place 5 raspberries, one banana and half an apple. You will drink water with this breakfast.
3. A yogurt, a bowl with cereals and a glass of blended fruit juice.
4. A glass of milk along side a slice of fish meat with olives and a boiled egg. With bread, of course.
5. One tomato sliced half an apple, one boiled egg and 10 cereal biscuits.

Morning Snack:

1. One apple
2. Two plums and two sweet biscuits.
3. One fat free croissant.
4. One banana and one raspberry.
5. One pickle and one tomato with a slice of bread.

Lunch free diet meal plans:

1 .One large bowl of tomato soup, made at home, without meat in it. Then, two backed potatoes with cheese. No bread.
2. Cabbage soup and a slice of bread and two chicken wings with mashed potatoes.
3. Seasonal soup, with vegetables and greens. A slice of barbecue with boiled vegetables alongside. No bread.
4. A big salad with lettuce, onions, tomatoes, olives, almonds, olive oil, mushrooms and tuna. Then, two slices of bread with a glass of milk and honey.
5. Baked rice and chicken, with peppers and tomatoes. Must be made at home, in the oven. Eat it with fresh vegetables and no bread.

1. A glass of milk and some sugar free biscuits.
2. One fruit.
3. A slice of bread with one of cheese.
4. A smoothie made from at least 5 fruits, including a banana.
5. A fruit salad.

Losing Weight Quick And Keeping It Off


losing weight quickI’ve had serious trouble losing weight and keeping it off. Yes, all my life I’ve been fighting with weight problems. And I did manage to regain somewhat of a normal weigh at times, but in a matter of weeks it would all come right back to haunt me. Losing weight and keeping it off was a serious problem, and in the end I’ve started believed that I’m simply unable to do this, that this is not for me. I was pretty ready to give up altogether at the whole dieting stuff, because the end result of all my diets so far was a couple of extra pounds added to the initial weight. So this was from the beginning a lost battle, since I already knew that in the end I will be fatter than initially.

Then, my wife decided to get involved in my failed attempts, knowing that she can indeed provide viable information about things related to diets. She was the one that knew first hand how much trouble I was experiencing losing weight quick and keeping it off…I’ve learnt quite e a few things from her…don’t think she is a nutritionist or something, she is just a woman that usually eats salads and can lecture you for two hours about the bad consequences of red meat consumption…

She explained stuff in a way that demanded attention, so I paid her the attention requested. And it has helped me understand a few things. An essential component of every diet is to improve the metabolic control of every individual. I have to target decreasing the fat weight and keeping the muscular weight at the same time. In fact, the muscular tissues are the ones that dictate the metabolism. Fat people like I was, and also those that are really obese have lots of fat tissues compared to their muscular tissues and this can slow down the metabolism a lot.

Dieting is not a complete quick weight loss task. If I waned to start losing weight and keeping it off I needed to include exercises and even supplements, next to the diet. My wife also said that is not important what weight loss diet I choose, and that she will not force me to eat something I don’t like, but she mentioned that, especially because I am a man, I should target in finding a diet that can keep the muscular tissues intact. Severe diets, that shake the body, will result in a rapid weight loss but this is happening because you are losing muscles and water tissues, but the fat tissues are intact. Those were the exact diets I was trying, and they never worked as expected. So, a plan suited for me would be one that can target the changes between muscles and fat and that can intensify the fat loss and not the muscular loss.

After trying diets, or simply reading about them and turning them down instantly, I decided that a diet that focuses glycemic index or GI diet appears to be a good one. This diet focuses on foods that have a low GI. People that follow this diet will feel full faster at one meal and are completely satisfied with what they eat, and will also have a better overall tolerance at glucoses. Losing weight and keeping it off is done thanks to reducing the fat tissues from the body. This is why I think low GI diets prevent a metabolism change. It’s important to realize that this is not a low carb diet.

Carbs that have a low GI can be consumed. I have eaten various stuff with carbs like fibers, beans, oaks, potatoes and sweet potatoes and most fruits, because they are full of pectin but have a low to moderate GI. I tried the diet with no carbs and didn’t solve much. Just by eliminated the carbs from alimentation you can not say you’ve found an efficient quick weight loss program. If I only reduce the number of calories I will mainly decrease my energy consumption with at least 15%. Out body has no way of knowing that when we reduce the number of calories we actually want to lose weight. This is why it is acting defensively and reduces the metabolic index to try and keep as much food as possible. This is how I finally managed to explain my obvious slowed down metabolism after severe diets, and this is why I’ve had trouble losing weight and keeping it off.

The low GI diet does not focus on calories. The problem with foods that have a high GI is that they can trigger a change in metabolism which will stock proteins, fats and carbs instead of helping burning them. It has been later brought to my attention that the low GI diet can improve insulin resistance and can decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease. Unlike other diets, this can be taken forever, becoming a true lifestyle, as it has happened in my case.

But the thing that truly turned my weight around after starting the low Gi diet is the fact that I started to exercise seriously. Walking or biking, and even dancing or fitness exercises are anyways a must in this diet. In the beginning, I simply started exercising 3 times a week for about 10 minutes, and now, after several months, I do exercises of 30 minutes 5 times a week.

It’s very important to remember that losing weight and keeping it off depends a lot on the way you work your muscles. Muscular tissue can increase metabolism and overcome the boomerang effects of diets.
