If you want to lose weight quickly and efficiently, it is essential to have a good planning as far as the weekly menu is concerned. This will help you to know the calories you eat per week and to be able to keep a better control over the kilos that you are losing on a daily basis. In this way you will not have too many problems when it comes to reaching your ideal weight.
How to plan your menu to lose weight?
It is important that you set a specific day of the week in which you are not in a hurry to prepare what your menus for the week will be like. Once you have made them, you must write down what ingredients you need to make them and get hold of them. Afterwards, we advise you to cook different dishes in one go, in the event that it is necessary to freeze them, and thus have them all ready at lunch/dinner time. And, here you will have doubts: how do I prepare my menus? What should I include in each of them to make it a menu to lose weight? We give you some small guidelines so that what you prepare allows you to achieve your short-term goal: eliminate extra kilos from your body.
- Remember that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so it is essential that it be as nutritious and healthy as possible. Take a look at what you have in the fridge and in the cupboards and note that foods such as fruit, cereals and dairy products cannot be missing, as they will allow you to start the day with the energy you need.
- The food should be as balanced as possible and based on low-calorie foods, such as vegetables, legumes, chicken or oily fish. All cooked on the grill, in the oven and without adding batters or sauces. Therein lies the temptation!
- Regarding the issue of dinner, you must remember that it has to be light, so that you do not accumulate too much fat when you go to sleep. Do not hesitate to prepare light dishes based on sautéed vegetables or creams that help you have a good digestion to better fall asleep.
- Eating mid-morning and mid-afternoon is important when it comes to having a fully active metabolism, so you can eat foods with a lot of fiber that allow you to satisfy your appetite.
The weekly purchase, as we said at the beginning, is another of the key aspects when it comes to getting back to your ideal weight. It is advisable that you leave home with a list of the foods you want to buy to avoid being tempted to throw those caloric products into the bag that can ruin your goal, such as buns or snacks. A healthy and planned purchase will allow you to lose weight without much trouble and little effort. Come on you can do it!
