Three Ways You Can Succeed With A Weekly Diet Plan

The hardest part of dieting is overcoming the urge to eat spontaneously. You might be 'good' for days and then suddenly, you just need some sugar! You might even feel like you earned it, because you were good all week long. These little slip ups don't murder your diet right away, but too many slips can push your weight loss goals back. Planning is the key to success with a weekly diet plan.

Tip 1: Plan Out Your Week in Advance

Recently, Oprah featured a segment on her show where she shared how she lost weight dieting and kept it off. She planned her meals out ahead of time each week and ate the same thing in a cycle. This idea works great and is a solid place to start your diet. It may sound boring to eat the same thing repeatedly, but this discipline and regiment will help you stay focused and add to your sense of accomplishment. To begin this process, plan to eat 5 times a day. This sounds counterproductive but each meal will be half as large as you are used to. So, with that in mind...

Tip 2: Eat On A Schedule

Sure, your week is hectic and mind numbing, and sometimes things slip through the cracks as you get busy. For your diet plan to work, you have to remember to eat at the same time, three times a day. Make a filling breakfast, a slightly smaller lunch and make your dinner the smallest meal portion wise. To fill out the rest of your day, plan to eat a light snack between breakfast and lunch, and another in the afternoon as soon as you get home from work. Fruit and nuts work great for these little mini-binges. Make sure it is something tasty, either salty or sweet. Your body learns by how you eat, and most cravings can be overcome by eating smart. As an additional bonus, eating this way burns more fat and makes you feel much more energized!

Tip 3: Eat Foods that Taste Good!

There is a line of thought in the dieting community that if it tastes good, it must be fattening. This isn't the case at all! In fact, eating foods that taste good is the best way to forget you are dieting. Salad may sound boring, but if you garnish it with some mandarin oranges and some tangy oil and vinegar, you will get a salad that is not only good for you, but it very sweet and satisfying as well!

By developing a weekly diet plan and sticking with it, you will jump start your diet success. Remember, plan out what you eat ahead of time, and eat 5 times a day, but with smaller portions. Eat foods that are pleasing and different from each other is possible, as this will keep you from wanting to stray!
