Try This Healthy Eating Diet Plan

How many times have you decided the time had come to loose a
few pounds but everything you tried left you frustrated and
feeling deprived. Have you ever considered a healthy eating diet
plan?

If you aren't familiar with a health eating diet plan you might
be surprised at just how simple the concept is and you'll be
wondering why more aren't using it to lose those extra pounds.

The healthy eating diet plan starts by recognizing that weight
will only be lost when the number of calories burned exceeds the
number of calories eaten. It also recognizes that if you drop
your calorie intake too quickly your body will go into what's
called starvation mode storing fat for that rainy day.

The healthy eating diet plan goes one further stating that you
can eat anything you want as long as you don't exceed your
calorie count for the day and in fact you need to reduce your
calorie intake by 500 calories but no more. While at the same
time increasing your calorie burn by 500 calories. That means
you are going to have a 1000 calorie difference which is going
to be noticeable on the diet scale.

The healthy eating diet plan also looks at the type of foods
you are eating. Of course although it says you can eat anything
you want it expect that you will not fill your diet with foods
high in saturated fats but rather will mix your meals up with
plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables but it gives you the
flexibility to mix it up how you like it without being
restricted to certain foods.

So what would a healthy eating diet plan look like? Well it
might look something like this:

Breakfast

• 1 cup Cheerios
• 1/2 cup fresh or frozen berries
• 1 cup fat-free or low-fat milk
• 1/2 whole-grain English muffin, toasted, topped with 1
teaspoon light margarine
• Coffee if desired

Mid-morning snack

• 4 pieces dried apricot
• 1 cup tea with lemon

Lunch

• Sandwich: one 6-inch whole-wheat pita, spread with 1
tablespoon light mayonnaise and stuffed with 2 ounces deli-style
roast beef, 1-ounce slice of reduced-fat Cheddar cheese, 3
tomato slices and lettuce
• 4 baby carrots
• 1 banana,

Afternoon snack

• 5 ounces fat-free yogurt
• 3 vanilla wafers

Dinner

• 3 ounces grilled or broiled salmon brushed with 1/2 teaspoon
dried dill weed before cooking
• 2/3 cup brown rice
• 3/4 cup sliced asparagus spears steamed
• Salad: 1 1/2 cups baby spinach leaves topped with 1
tangerine, peeled and sectioned; 1 tablespoon chopped almonds;
drizzled with 1 tablespoon sesame seed vinaigrette salad
dressing
• Water or other no-cal beverage

Of course this is just an example of a healthy eating diet plan
for a day. There are so many options that you will never be
bored and remember you can eat which ever foods you want as long
as you don't exceed your daily calorie intake. So if you love
fish eat as much as you want or perhaps you hate asparagus but
love baby carrots then don't eat asparagus but do eat all the
baby carrots you want.

So what will your healthy eating diet plan look like?
