How To Build Your Weight Loss Meal Plans And Make Losing Fat Easier On Yourself

How To Build Your Weight Loss Meal Plans And Make Losing Fat Easier On Yourself
March 16, 2015 By JC Deen

Fat loss, dieting, getting shredded, leaning out, weight loss — whatever you want to call it, it’s all the same end-result. More muscle, less fat, better definition is what we all want.

One question I get all the time is “can you give me a meal plan for weight loss?” And to that, I always respond with a ‘no’ for two reasons:

It’s technically illegal for me to give someone a fully-detailed weight loss meal plan because I’m not a registered dietician.
It doesn’t actually teach you anything. (Like, why go through the trouble and frustration that can be this physique-building journey and not actually learn anything?)
Today we’re talking all about weight loss. Meal plans, just like any other time you need a plan, are pertinent to your success when it comes to losing fat, getting lean, and staying that way.

Having a plan ensures you maintain good habits, and constraints that will help you do the right things over and over that are responsible for losing body fat.

We’ve already established many times here that creating a caloric deficit, over time, is what produces fat loss. I don’t care if you choose to eat six meals per day, or do intermittent fasting.

In the end, your weight loss meal plan (or any type of diet, for that matter) should revolve around foods you like to eat, and a plan that suits your schedule — and most importantly — a plan that is in line with your psychological needs.

If you’re the type of person who loves to snack during the day, then a frequent meal plan (5+ meals per day) is probably ideal for you. If you’re someone who doesn’t like a big breakfast, but loves to eat big in the evening, a lower meal frequency might be what suits you best.

When you’re at peace mentally with the plan, it makes it much easier to actually follow through. There’s nothing more daunting than someone shoving a meal plan in your face that calls for all the foods you hate, and micro-feedings every hour, on the hour.

If you abhor canned tuna (like me), and eating like a bird, this would mean your demise.

So let’s talk about what makes a good meal plan, shall we?

Remember, all these ideas are merely suggestions. None of it is personal advice, m’kay?
