Lose Weight With Healthy Cooking And Fork Foods

The vegan weight loss program "F forks over knives" provides a unique take on eating vegan while still maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It combines a vegan meal plan with the "no animal product" Cheers diet. I've found this combination to be very effective for my clients and I hope it does for you. Let's talk about how we can get started with this diet.

A vegan meal plan shouldn't only help you lose weight, it should also help you live a healthier life. A plant-based diet is one of the healthiest and organic eating plans you can follow. By eating organic, natural foods you can help your body and mind to stay healthy. To me, eating a vegan meal plan means following a no animal product diet.

F forks over knives doesn't just mean eliminating meat from your diet. I would love to give up hamburgers, hot dogs, casseroles, and potato chips (hey, maybe I'll go eat those if I get tired). But realistically, many of us are not going to give up our favorite comfort food. And what about all those frozen treat options at the grocery store? We could probably eat them on occasion, but I doubt that we could totally eliminate them from our diet.

This is where forking over knives really comes into play! You don't have to completely give up all of your favorite foods just to lose weight. In fact, a well-balanced vegetarian diet can be very healthy, delicious, and fun. Let's take a look at a sample menu for a healthy vegetarian weight loss meal plan.

Dinner Options: The first thing you'll want to do is decide whether you want to go with a full or leaner vegetarian meal. Whole foods (i.e., fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grain) are generally lower in fat, with few (if any) health risks. Lean protein is the best choice. Eggs are another good choice, but only in small quantities. For a great dinner, consider something like a baked vegetable or brown rice salad with a low-fat dressing and a piece of whole grain bread.

Breakfast Choices: A healthy breakfast can get you started on your weight loss meal plan. The first thing to decide is whether you want to go with a protein shake, some sort of low-fat or fat-free cereal, and a glass of milk or juice. Some health advocates even suggest taking an apple to get your energy going when you get out of bed. Whatever you choose, be sure to take it with a glass of water.

Afternoon Snack Options: After your morning workout, snack on some almonds, cashews, walnuts, or other healthy nuts. Another delicious option is to load up on fresh fruit. One option is to eat your everyday meal tracker snack like you would for lunch and dinner. Another is to add nuts to a trail mix or granola cereal. Just be sure to have a glass of water with every meal.

Evening Snack Options: If you're planning to stay on a healthy, low-calorie, low-fat, and high-fiber diet, you'll want to have an after dinner snack to keep your energy level high. Some excellent options include low-fat yogurt, fresh veggie sticks (sweet potato, carrot, and cucumber), some whole grain crackers with low-fat dressing, and more. You may also want to have some applesauce on hand for a dip that's both healthy and delicious. As with your morning and afternoon snacks, be sure to use a whole food base instead of processed, junk food. For an extra boost, toss in a handful of nuts (just choose organic for best results).
