Lose Weight Diet Program a Diet Plan to Lose 30 Pounds

Most people need a lose weight diet program but are lost in how to create it for themselves. Below I will outline the steps you should follow in creating your own diet plan and a basic healthy eating guide I used to lose almost 30 pounds.

 1. Set Your Goals: The VERY FIRST thing you should do is set your goal of how much weight you want to lose and by what date. Be realistic though and don't underestimate the importance of setting this goal and writing it down. The diet plan that I followed had me circle a date on the calendar and write down my weight loss number. Guess what? It worked! To be realistic set a weight loss goal of about 10-20 pounds a month. This varies DRASTICALLY depending on what type of shape you are currently in.

2. Monthly Diet Meal Plans: You will need to create a eating guide for a one month period. Follow it out the whole month. To do this you will need to figure out your resting metabolic rate. Just do a search on Google for how to figure this out. Its easy. This is how many calories you burn while inactive. Create a healthy eating plan that will give your body enough nutrition but not go over your calories that will make you gain weight.

3. Exercise Plan: Incorporate some type of activity into your schedule. The best method is to choose something that you would like to do even if you weren't trying to lose weight. This way you will stick to it. Most people who start exercising just for the sake of losing weight quit. But someone that loves playing softball 3 times a week keeps doing it and loses weight.

Here is a sample diet meal plan - This was tailored to me with an online diet generator but you can use it as a guideline.

Breakfast: Oatmeal
Lunch: Tuna Salad Broiled Sea Bass
Snack: Cottage Cheese
Dinner: Broiled Sea Bass w/veggies

Although these three tips for and lose weight diet program are important its not everything. If you can't afford a nutritionist to perfectly plan out your meal plans then it might come down to a lot of trial and error.
