Build a smoother silhouette with slim-down recipes.
Are you ready to start slimming down and feeling fabulous? Slim down with a 7-day meal plan that helps you shed pounds and inches.
Let’s get started! Planning meals is a necessary part of losing weight. Life is so very busy, and when there’s no meal plan in place it becomes all too easy to continue relying on processed foods and unhealthy takeout. Both of those options are incapable of supporting long-term weight loss success. They’re often high in calories, fat, refined sugar, or artificial sweeteners.
Don’t be fooled by “diet” or “low-fat” processed food or takeout either. They may be lower in calories, fat, or sugar, but the trade-off is often measured in higher levels of artificial sweeteners, which researchers have linked to weight gain and metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes.
As you move through this 7-day meal plan, make hydration a priority. Drink plenty of plain water and occasionally consume green tea, which includes EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), a substance that delivers a temporary metabolism boost. Stick to unsweetened green tea, or add a little honey—not refined sugar—for sweetness. Unsweetened coffee is a good morning pick-me-up as well.
