If you've been scouring the internet trying to find the best meals for weight loss...
The congratulations! You've come to the right place!..
But before you venture off down a rabbit hole of:
Calorie goals
The amount of calories you need to consume each day for a specific physical outcome i.e. weight loss/gain or maintenance.
micronutrient density
The amount of beneficial nutrients (i.e. vitamins, and minerals) a food source contains in proportion to it's energy (calorie) content.
macro splits
The ratio in which your calorie goal is partitioned into the macronutrients; protein, carbohydrates, fat, fiber and water.
carb cycling
A dietary strategy for varying the amount of carbohydrates you consume each day with the goal of influencing metabolic flexibility.
carb backloading
A dietary approach for eating most if not all your carbohydrate allowance for the day with you last meal/s of the day.
fasting
A dietary approach for limiting food consumption for a specific period of time (fasting) or consuming food between a specific time window each day (time restricted eating).
And a whole lot more!..
I'd like to bring your attention to the fact that:
SUCCESSFUL DIETING IS A MATTER OF TASTE!..
AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE TASTE OF YOUR OWN COOKING, THEN YOU'LL ALWAYS FIND AN EXCUSE TO NOT EAT IT!
So when it comes to improving your health (or transforming your body)...
You should never underestimate the power of a super tasty, home cooked meal.
And that's because;
ONE OF THE BIGGEST BARRIERS WE SEE (TO PEOPLE SUCCESSFULLY TRANSFORMING THEIR BODY) IS THEIR ABILITY IN THE KITHCEN.
Or:
THEIR WILLINGNESS TO OUTSOURCE THE PREPARATION OF THEIR MEALS TO A THIRD PARTY, SUCH AS:
A supportive partner, family member or even a friend who is willing to go out of their way to help you achieve your goals.
A healthy eating establishment with a varied menu that can accommodate a more discerning clientele with specific requirements.
A company that can produce healthy, tasty meals to accommodate specific dietary requirements reliably and consistently.
Look, the fact of the matter is;
EVERYBODY IS SUPER MOTIVATED AT THE START OF A HEALTH KICK, WHICH IS WHEN COMPLIANCE IS (NORMALLY) AT IT'S HIGHEST POINT.
SO EVEN PEOPLE WHO LACK BASIC CULINARY SKILLS WILL ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO 'GRIND-IT-OUT'...AT THE START!
Which often means spending weeks eating 'batch cooked basic meals' that will still 'get-the-job-done' from a results perspective but NOT when it comes to 'satisfaction' .
Meaning people will inevitably reach a point where they:
'JUST CAN'T DIET ANYMORE!'...
But what they really mean is:
'THEY CAN'T CONTINUE TO EAT BLAND, BORING TASTELESS MEALS ANYMORE!'...
So, if you really do want to achieve the (seemingly elusive) lifestyle change that you (usually) feel compelled to talk about...
After a heavy night OUT or a heavy night IN-front of Netflix, surrounded by heart palpitating snacky-snacks...
Then start by asking yourself this question:
'DO I HAVE THE (CULINARY) SKILLS TO PAY THE (BODY TRANSFORMATION) BILLS?'
And if the answer is no...
Then before you sign yourself to another 'Get-Ripped-Quick-Scheme'...
START BY EXPANDING YOUR 'HEALTHY (BUT TASTY) MEAL' REPETOIRE OR FIND YOURSELF A COST EFFECTIVE, RELIABLE MEAL PREP SOLUTION.
As it will dramatically increase your chances of achieving your goals.
So there you have it! The first thing you need to know about the best meals for weight loss, I hope you found it useful.
And to get you started, here's an incredible breakfast smoothie recipe (that tastes amazing) but you don't need any culinary skills to make.
Thanks for reading!
