Dietary recipes to lose weight
Like everyone else, you probably have a booklet of diet recipes in the back of a drawer, but you’ve hardly ever touched it. You may have tried one or two recipes the week you bought it, but since then, you’ve forgotten all about it…
And yet, these dietetic recipes, illustrated with calorie counts and all the explanations and tips for healthy eating, generally make you lose weight!
Combined with the right weight-loss supplement (many of which you’ll find on this site), a slightly low-calorie diet is sure to help you shed those pesky pounds!
There’s a reason why these diet recipe booklets aren’t always useful: they offer a huge number of recipes, most of which contain ingredients you don’t have at home, aren’t appetizing or simply never know what to choose!
What you need is a complete program, covering the whole week, that you can follow more easily and more rigorously.
The program we’re proposing here includes dietary recipes based on the daily requirements of an active person, and are therefore designed not only to help you lose weight, but also to provide you with your vitamin and energy needs. In this sense, you need proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
A low-calorie diet doesn’t have to be restrictive and frustrating. It’s simply a question of finding the right balance between calorie expenditure and intake, while respecting the body’s needs.
This diet is ideal for optimizing the effect of your slimming pill. You’ll notice that it allows you to maintain a normal pace of life (no fatigue or headaches), stay healthy and lose weight visibly and, above all, sensibly!
One-week program of diet recipes to lose weight
Before I give you the complete program for the week, here are a few recommendations to help you personalize this diet and follow it with pleasure:
- There’s no harm in reversing meals between days, for example by eating Monday’s breakfast on Thursday and Thursday’s on Monday. The program is there to guide you, not to impose a strict line for you to follow;
- Similarly, if you particularly like breakfast on a particular day, you can eat it two days in a row. Treat yourself!
- Good hydration is essential to the success of this diet and the weight loss that follows. You need to drink water constantly. Water and nothing but water. You shouldn’t replace it with coffee or juice.
The great thing about this diet is that it’s anything but frustrating. Its main aim is to provide you with a healthy, balanced diet, while avoiding the usual side effects of other diets.
Try to follow this program of diet recipes rigorously, in combination with the weight-loss medication that suits you best, and you’ll start losing weight faster than you think!
