How To Lose Weight (What I Eat In A Day)

Here is an example of a meal plan for a typical day:

Breakfast: Fruit and Yogurt

Here I have vanilla yogurt (with an almond), cantaloupe, strawberries, raspberries, 
and an orange slice.

Lunch: Tuna sandwich (with light mayo and dried cranberries)

Snack: Hard boiled egg (with light salt & pepper)

Dinner: Grilled chicken with rice & bell pepper


I know a lot of people will say not to eat fruit because it has a lot of sugar in it.  I wish I were strong enough to go for weeks without either natural or artificial sweets, but I just know that I am not.  I figure that my craving for sweets is going to lead me to eat a real, fresh strawberry OR it is going to lead me to strawberry flavored candy.  As long as I'm choosing the natural sugar, I feel like I'm doing okay.

    Sounds delish! I lost crazy weight when I made the decision to substitute fruit (dried, frozen or fresh) for sweets.

    Want chocolate? Grab an apple. Want a cupcake? Have some melon. I told myself I could have all the sweets I wanted as long as it came from fruit and did awesomely well without the bad cravings.

      Thanks for the tip Karen! I'm going to give that a try myself since sweets are always my downfall! xo Kelly

    I'm always munching down on fruit, especially grapes and peaches.Your portions are so nice and small. I try to keep my dinners at a reasonable size, but by the end of the day I'm starving! I need to get better at portion control and cutting out noodles. :/

      Hi Michelle! Thanks for your comment :) I <3 noodles! Someone told me to make 1/2 what I would normally make and add more veggies to make up for the missing noodles. Truthfully, I get hungry too. It helps to drink tons of tea and water! xo Kelly

    This all looks so yummy. Although I have to admit, I wonder if I'd get full on all this. I'm trying to eat healthier and smaller portions but wow, I'm just not good enough yet... I crave chocolate too much and sometimes fruit is just not satisfying enough haha.

      Thanks Victoria! I caved and bought a jar of Nutella. I'm going to try to eat fruit only when I want sweets, but if that isn't enough I will dip my fruit into a small amount of Nutella! xo Kelly
