Lose Weight Diet – Part 2

Some healthy food choices for a lose weight diet are fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, lean meats, brown rice, whole grain bread, olive oil, egg whites, lentils and beans.  Instead of the standard 3 large meals per day, eat 6 small meals instead.  This will ensure that you have the energy needed throughout the day to carry out basic tasks, as well as constantly supply nutrients to all body cells to keep the body in top shape. 

 

Also, remember that when on a lose weight diet you must burn more calories than you consume throughout the day.  So if you are consuming 1500 calories per day then make sure you burn off eat least 250 of those calories through exercise such as weight lifting or intense cardio such as HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training – this is where you go on something such as a treadmill and do interval training for a set period of time.  So for example, if you decide to do 20 minutes of cardio, then you can do 1 minute of sprinting and then 1 minute of jogging, and then 1 minute of sprinting, and so on, until you reach 20 minutes.  If you are fairly new to HIIT then you can alternate between walking and jogging instead of jogging and sprinting, and slowly build up to sprinting over a period of a few weeks).  However, since we must strive to maintain as much as muscle as possible while maximizing fat loss, we must also do some sort of weight lifting exercise.  If you neglect this part, then you will be in an endless cycle of weight loss and weight gain, as are most people who enter the gym.  Weight lifting exercise and a lose wieght diet will allow you to minimize muscle loss and burn fat, since one of muscle’s functions is to burn fat.
