Question

As the title says im trying to lose 15 pounds and i m looking for a healthy diet plan

Answer 1

I don't know what your caloric intake is so i will just list some healthy foods that are affordable.

Vegetables

Fruits (just don't go overboard cause of the sugar)

skim milk

lean meats (chicken, turkey)

fish

flax seed oil

protein powder

nuts

whole wheat bread, pasta, rice

Organize some of these foods into meals and you will have a solid diet plan.

Answer 2

for a workable diet -

here is what my dietician suggests - follow a practical diet. start your meal with a soup or a huge salad. this fills u up. Make sure your plate has this ratio - 50 per cent veg, 25 per cent  carb. potatoes, corn and peas come in carbs category. 25  per cent protein.this will prevent cravings too.an occassional treat is OK. have a snack every three hours. fruit ,ideally berries, or soy nuts. just 2 tbsp of soya subsides hunger pangs. have a protein shake too, if you want. it will fight the fat and give you extra energy to exercise. switch from white rice and bread to brown. eat 900gms of veggies a day.Lose a kilo a week. that is  permanent loss.  pick an exercise regime you like.  

get a pedometer and  try to take 10,000 steps everyday.

have soupy meals. keep stock handy. put chicken and veg pieces in stock. let it come to a boil. 0 fat and power-packed.  

Answer 3

Eating several (5-6) small portion meals of everyday healthy food per day, along with exercise, will burn calories faster and build your metabolism in a short period of time, without dieting or counting calories.

You will lose an average of 2 lbs a week

(eat about every 2 hours)

Meal suggestions:

piece of fruit

bowl of cereal (high fiber low sugar)

bowl of oatmeal

string cheese, summer sausage

cottage cheese/yogurt (lowfat)

tuna/turkey/ham sandwich (lettuce, tomatoe)

soup

salad

raw veggies

boiled eggs

popcorn

Always eat a good dinner (small portions)...fish/meat (bake, broil, grill) potatoes/pasta/rice, veggie...your body needs carbs, protein and vitamins to stay healthy...cooking with olive oil is best.

Low calorie sweets...sugarless candy, ginger snap cookies,

fig bars, 100% juice popsicles

Drink plenty of water (6-8 glasses per day)

Drink milk (low fat) or 100% juice/green tea/water with every meal

(no soda pop or flavored drinks)

Stay away from munchies, fried & fatty foods (no fast-food)

Never eat before going to bed

"Daily" simple and cardio exercise (20-30 min. per day) like walking/hiking, running, biking, kick boxing, swimming, jumping jacks, aerobics, dancing and playing any games that uses a ball will shed pounds, tone your body and keep it fit.

Food is fuel, energy for the body, if you don't exercise to burn the energy, it turns to fat...fasting or skipping meals lowers your metabolism and forces the body to hold on to calories/fat, causing headaches, fatigue and weakness.

Losing weight at a healthy pace along with exercising everyday you will feel and look so good.

Answer 4

Breaskfast try whole grain cereal with fat free or skim milk and 1 piece of fruit.

Mid-morning snack, handful of nuts or yogurt

Lunch - small salad w/ light or fat free dressing

Mid-afternoon snack - fruit or veggies

Dinner - protien & veggies

String cheese (light), fat free jello are always good for snacks also.

Remember to lose weight, at least 30 minutes of exercise 3 or 4 times a week is a big bonus to weight loss.
