How to Create Low Calorie Diet Plans That Work
By Gerd Cornelius Pacher

We all know how to lose weight, right? Eat less and exercise more, but why isn't that enough? There are a million different low calorie diet plans out there, but how do you design one that works? The first step is in knowing yourself. Some people have trigger foods that cause them to overeat. If you know that you cannot eat just one pretzel, then do not bring them into your home. If the trigger food isn't there, you can't consume it. Simple, right?

Plan out your meals. Don't expect low calorie foods to prepare themselves. Fast food is quick and inexpensive, but you pay a high price for eating those foods when it comes to calories. A way to avoid the drive through window is to have your low calorie meals already made. Prepare meals on the weekend. You can cook everything at once and then portion out the foods and freeze them. When you need a low calorie meal, you can simply look in your freezer, pop it into the microwave and you will have a nutritious meal in minutes.

Include foods in your diet that you like to eat. If you hate cottage cheese, don't eat it! A high protein diet will make you feel fuller longer. It is a good idea to have high protein snacks ready to go when you are starving and need something quick. Carrot sticks are tasty, sometimes they just won't do. Low fat cheeses, low calorie yogurt and canned chicken and tuna are great sources of protein that you can eat as part of your low fat diet.

Incorporate some sort of exercise into the week to go along with the low calorie diet. Weight loss is not achieved by food choice alone. You will need to exercise 45-60 minutes a day three times a week. If you have been fairly sedentary, then just adding in a walking program will be good enough. However, if you already exercise three times a week, make sure that you are doing cardio to help with your weight loss.

Remember to check with your doctor before starting any low calorie diet.
