The Two Meals a Day Diet Plan

It is perfect in its simplicity and easy to understand and to follow. First you eat only two healthy meals a day. In order to lose weight do not over eat during these two meals and make them balanced meals. You want to be satisfied, but not stuffed to the gills.

The big benefit of eating two meals a day, it is very difficult to overeat. Most people overeat and any diet plan which aims at long term success must have a lifestyle change element. Eating only two meals a day is a long term lifestyle change, if you stick to it. Also many people believe that eating many meals a day over taxes your organs in your digestion system. You need to rest your organs in between meals, an extreme of over taxing your digestion system is eating three meals a day and then snacking. Remember you can eat far more than you can exercise away, especially if your eating all the time! Without doing the two meals a day plan or something like it, the amount of food that you eat in a day can creep up unexpectedly.

In your two main meals you should aim for healthy foods, not deep fried meat or excess cheese. The aim here is a balanced meal with healthy food. You want healthy fats, but don't over do it, I prefer Olive oil, Grape seed oil and Safflower oil.

As for snacking, limit yourself to fruit and little bit of raw vegetables, such as Apples, Pears, Bananas, Avocados, Olives etc.. It is best to limit snacking to the most easy to digest natural whole foods. To be more hardcore cut out snacking of all kinds.

In any diet, the key is not to cheat. Do not bring the bad foods into the house or have them in your possession. Like ice cream, cakes, donuts, candies etc. Instead, have good things like fruit and raw vegetables, one tip is to replace ice cream with a pure fruit Popsicle for a cold snack. When traveling

make sure to have a lunch box packed with you all the time.

One mistake people make while dieting is not getting enough healthy fats. Don't overdo the fats, but you do need about 20-35% of calories made up of fats. In order to achieve this use the healthy oils, also eat canned olives with only added sea salt, other additives make the olives not as healthy, also eat Avocados.

Many Seventh-Day Adventists follow this two meal a day diet plan. Studies show Adventists who follow this diet tend to live ten more years as compared to the general population. They also tend to have more healthy years in older age.

Choose an exercise that you enjoy doing several times a week like walking. It helps to have a goal or event to train for on a regular basis. The goal or event can be anything, a hobby that encourages outdoor exercise is very helpful. To be in shape to go trail hiking and camping is one example of an activity that motivates you to be in shape year around, an additional lifestyle change that ties into eating more healthy.

Practicing healthy eating for 15 years has allowed me to lose weight and get into great shape and I know it can help you too.
