With these diet meals, you can accompany me as I put my own program for healthy dieting into practice. My aim is to go from 103 kg to 80 kg and therefore to reduce my body fat percentage to less than 15%
The calculation is simple:
I must burn more energy – I have started jogging regularly again – and I must keep my intake of new fuel within healthy limits.
To do this, I will first bring my blood sugar level back into balance.
At the end of this diet, I want to have grown accustomed to eating food that enables me to keep my energy levels permanently in balance.
At the same time I would like to show you on the basis these diet meals, what is possible and to be allowed to stay on diet and simultaneously gives inspiration. What you can also do is, since in the everyday hustle and bustle of life, most people do not have time to think what they will eat the next day and simple miss to follow the diet. Naturally, it is to limit somewhat, for e.g. less consumption of fat, carbohydrate and alcohol. But with advance planning and sense of proportion and not least of these diet meals it is still possible to eat and drink what one likes to taste.
The amount of details in the diet meals, if not described differently, are related to serve and each are about 80g – 120g(0.17-0.26 lbs) of protein and carbohydrate rich foods. Here the exceptions are carbohydrates, in which the water content has not been extracted such as in fresh noodles or potatoes. Since the water here constitutes just over half or more and it can be added to it (ie a total of about 200g – 250g).(0.44-0.55 lbs).
The quantities of vegetables or salad are approximately 300g – 500g(0.66-1.1 lbs) for each meal and therefore measured amply to become satisfied.
What you will not find in these diet meals are breakfast, snacks, mealtime because these are not less important. In particular, the regularity and timeliness of the snacks are important. Anyway I put a timer so that I cannot forget.
But what I’ve documented is, when shall I allow myself for a glass of wine, or a large portion of pasta or ice cream in desert because these are for 2 to 3 days. I will permanently improve my diet, for this purpose the diet meals.
