Diet planning HELP!!

Something in the morning and an earlier dinner/snack might help you if you can adjust to that.

If you try breakfasts .. make them quick. The nonfat yogurt/fruit suggestion another SWer made is something I do regularly, usually with some protein powder mixed in. I buy yogurt in the quart tub and the protein powder when on sale at Sam's to save $$. The Chocolate flavor with a banana or raspberries (frozen are cheaper) is almost like a dessert and sometimes have it for one. A whole grain english muffin with a little peanut butter or Nutella is another quick option. I usually make a couple one egg omelettes on Sunday nights and reheat with an english muffin or a tortilla a couple mornings as a breakfast sandwich.

For dinners do a lot of stirfry type stuff in a nonstick pan .. more veggies than meat, seasonings from Italian, Mexican, Asian, Middle Eastern, Indian, Cajun to Jamaican Jerk, etc. Sometimes eat it alone, sometimes with a serving of rice (often cilantro lime) as a side or toss in a handful of whole wheat pasta.

Good luck !!

Just eat basic non processed lean meat or fish, no coatings or pastry. Cut off all visible fat and skin from your meat, use bacon medallions instead of back bacon, use low calorie cooking spray to 'fry' in and buy mince that's 5% fat or lower.

You can fill up by eating loads of fresh veg and fruits, potatoes, rice, pasta, cous cous as long as no fat is added should be ok. Eggs too are rich in protein, fill you up and are low in fat.

Don't eat jars and packets of sauces or convenience food. They are full of hidden sugar, salt and other and crap you don't need. Breakfast cereals are another sugar and E number trap. Look for fat free yogurt. I buy natural Greek style and add a squirt of honey or fruit.

I use passata and tinned tomatoes as sauce instead, no unnecessary E numbers and it's cheaper too. Only one small wholemeal roll a day or two slices of wholemeal bread too.
60grams of hard cheese.
300ml of semi skimmed milk.


Also only ONE 'treat' a day like:
Half a pint of beer
300ml glass of wine
Two small fun size chocolate bars
One small packet of crisps.

Try for a week and see if you lose weight. It's pretty well balanced and good nutrition I think but I am not a nutritional expert or anything.

No expensive diet should be necessary, this is just basic healthy eating.

Here is something I found by specifically looking for CHEAP diets for weight loss.
Looks pretty easy to me.

Ketosis and fasting
Keto is short for ketosis, the metabolic process that kicks in when your body runs out of glucose (its preferred energy source) and starts burning stored fat. Your body may go into ketosis after just 12 hours of not eating, which many people do overnight before they "break fast" with a morning meal.
