I am on a low carb and calorie Diet right now. Is it really helpful to have a crash meal to jump start your metabolism during the week? Should it be done once a week? Can anyone share their experiences with me? I had a crash day last week but it seemed to kill the rest of my week! Almost like it wasn’t worth it.

Yes ‘cheat’ meals do work in the fact that they increase your leptin levels in your blood which helps in not storing extra fat in your body (body uses leptin to make sure it has stores of energy, if too low will start to store energy as fat).

My husband and I have a 2 year old son and we are all three going to start the eat clean diet in a week. I am just curious though how much the family meal plan costs per week at the grocery store? Or any of the other plans for that matter. Also have any of you tried the eat clean diet? What was ur outcome?? Thanks!:)

Try http://www.eatcleandiet.com. They have a community where they talk about stuff. You can always take some of the recipes they have posted and price them at your local store.

This looks like healthy meal planning. In general I avoid anything called a diet. Eat-clean diet says it’s actually a life style change to eating healthy. Diets are usually a change to eating in some weird unhealthy way for a short time just to loose weight; then you gain it all back(and more) when you quit. Eat Clean Diet isn’t trying to sell you on some fad–so it says. Looks like buying some book is involved though. I think you need the book to really tell what it is all about.

There is a site called SparkPeople, that I have used for years. It has free meal and exercise plans, a lot of free information. The food is normal food not low fat or low carb, just balanced fat, car, and protein meals. You choose you own food after learning how to do it. Or you can have the website generate a meal plan for you.

You can start right away. I let it make my meal and exercise plans for me when I first started. Then little by little I started doing it myself. Now it just tracks what I eat and my exercises; but I decide totally what to do. I’m sure SparkPeople is a lot bigger than clean-diet; it’s world wide and you can find more people to communicate with, probably even in you hometown.

I’ve looked and looked, and i’ve found nothing. And i see it ask on here often but still find nothing. Help?

tons of information on food and nutrition and can help you decide on how to make up your meal plans for yourself

My doctor put me on a 1200 calorie diet meal plan and i cant see the Dietitian for over a week and i looked all over the internet for a meal plan. can some one please tell me how many calories i need for breakfast, Lunch, dinner and for snacks. Please help
Also what are considered "free foods?" i know all foods have calories but i dont know what they are

I work for a weight loss company, so I"m happy to answer. You should have three meals and two snacks per day. Each meal will consist of approx. 300 calories, and the two snacks will have approx. 150 calories each. Here some examples.
Breakfast- One serving of oatmeal with a banana.
Breakfast option 2– 3 scrambled egg whites with some diced veggies, and two pieces of wheat toast spread with some brummel and brown (a butter subsitute made out of yogurt, taste way better than margarine).\
breakfast option 3- one cup of cereal (of your choice) with 1/2 cup skim milk.
Snack between breakfast and lunch- almost anything you want (but just one serving). You can have a couple of handfuls of chips or pretzels if your craving something fatty, or on a healthier note, you could have a cup of yogurt with some cut up strawberries or blueberries on top.
Snack option 2- a slice of cheese with 5 or 6 crackers
Snack option 3- a few ritz crackers with peanut butter spread on them

Lunch- spinach salad with a can of tuna over it (tuna in WATER, not oil). Add 1/2 tsp olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
lunch option 2- cup of soup with half of a sandwich- one piece wheat bread, no more than 1 tablespoon lowfat mayo, and one slice of meet and one slice of cheese- add as many veggies as you’d like

in between lunch and dinner snack- anything similar to what you had for your first snack. Just make it small, 150 calories for a snack isn’t much. Try a granola bar if you want something quick.

Dinner- there are millions of options.
1- 3 oz of fish (your choice) with 3 oz rice. add green beans
2- 3 oz chicken with 3 oz. rice, add asparagus
3- 3 oz. steak with 3 oz. mashed pototos. add peas or brussel sprouts
Keep the amount of protein meat you eat to around 3 oz (a little smaller than the size of a clenched fist).

If you really want a desert- get sugar free jello- it’s only ten calories per cup. Or, get sugar free pudding, about 60 calories per cup.

That should do it!
Good luck with everything!

hi, i desperately want to burn body fat in 2 weeks and have heard about high protein ketogenic diets. i want to go on one but cant find much information on what to do. a meal plan would be really help full. thanks.

You can lose more body fat eating protein & fat (don’t eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast, eat all you want, but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter & half an avocado a day (for added potassium). Keep the calories high & the fat percentage high, at least 65% of calories. Green vegetables & some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.

The first 2 weeks eat several cups a day of (mostly) lettuce & celery, cucumbers, radishes, mushrooms, peppers & more variety of vegetables thereafter - add 5 grams per day additional every week (20 grams day first 2 weeks, 25grams 3rd week, 30grams 4th week etc) til you gain weight, then subtract 10grams. That will be your personal carb level (everyone is different & depends on how active you are.)

Start with meat, fats & salads for 2 weeks and then slowly add in more green veg, wk4 fresh cheeses, wk5 nuts & seeds, wk6 berries, wk7 legumes, wk8 other fruits, wk9 starchy veg, wk10 whole grains. You will learn how your body reacts to different foods.

The first week is just water weight but fat is lost thereafter if you keep your calories high enough. Otherwise the body will strip it’s own lean tissue for nutrition. Although that may look great on a scale it will make it MUCH easier to accumulate fat in the future (since all that pesky lean tissue burning up calories will be gone). The body won’t release fat stores if you lower calories below what it needs. It will slow metabolism to compensate & store every spare ounce as fat. If you continue lowering calories, it will continue lowering the set point, til it can survive off nothing & store fat on anything. The body will only release it’s fat stores if it knows there is plenty of nutritious food.

Eating carbs while trying to lose body fat is terribly inefficient. When in glycolysis (burning glucose as fuel) you have to lower your calories (which slows your metabolism) & exercise heavily to deplete your glycogen stores before burning body fat.

The core of Atkins program is converting the body from glycolysis (burning glucose as fuel) to ketosis (burning fat as fuel). Dietary fat levels need to be at >65% of total calories, if not, the body will still remain in glycolysis by converting 58% of excess protein into glucose (via gluconeogenesis).

It takes minimum of 3 days to convert a body to ketosis, (but only one bite to convert back to glycolysis). People feel sluggish the first week but most feel better than ever thereafter.

Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) trigger insulin which can store the calories eaten into fat. The more protein the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.

Simple carbs are addictive & can be disastrous to health. The best way to break the addiction is NO carbs for 3 days. Make a huge batch of deviled eggs, eat one every time you want "something" - have huge omelets with bacon, sausage, peppers, mushrooms & cheese. Pork chops smothered with peppers, mushrooms & cheese - pork rinds & dip or tuna/chicken/turkey/egg salad - steaks - a huge sugar free cheese cake. Eat so much you won’t feel deprived of anything. By the 4th day, the addiction will be gone & you can start making healthy choices.

High insulin levels promote inflammation, weight gain, hunger & unbalance other hormones. Controlling insulin levels will balance out other hormones & allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so lean muscle will be gained even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase muscle mass with high HGH levels.

Ground flax seed (2 Tbsp) 1/4 cup water, artificial sweetener, mix in a raw egg - let sit 10 min. to absorb liquid, put some cream cheese in the middle & nuke 2 minutes. Suggested for daily fiber needs.

As long as you have <9grams carbs per hour, you will maintain insulin control & shouldn’t gain weight, no matter the calories because insulin, the fat storage hormone is not activated. Many people gain weight on high carb, do low carb to lose weight & then are shocked when they return to high carb & gain weight. Many people can return to moderate carb levels but very few can really eat all they want of sugar & maintain weight or health.

I am adamantly opposed to low calorie dieting because most people lose a good portion of lean tissue along with fat stores. Most people get impatient and lower their calories and increase their exercise to a point where they lose so much lean tissue that when they return to what was maintenance level eating they are now accumulating more fat stores because their caloric needs have dropped due to the loss of this tissue and it becomes a vicious cycle of dieting and more loss (including vital organs like the heart) This stress cannot be healthy.

Ok i hear that cheat meals during a Diet can be good by speeding up your metabolism and also helps your cravings….

but my only concern is over eating…..so what are some examples of a reasonable cheat meal (What you CAN and CANNOT EAT) and how often should you have a cheat meal? (Once a week?…Once every two weeks?..etc)

None. The only thing you are cheating is yourself.
