For sometime now I have wanted to put together a basic diet plan to help people lose weight and get started on a healthier way of eating. It needed to be simple to follow no counting macros or tracking calories. And provide a wide enough variety of foods that it could be sustainable over the long term.

Now this will help most people lose weight, but it won’t necessarily get you shredded, that isn’t it’s purpose, but it will get you eating the right type of foods and if at some point in time you decide to step it up and get ultra lean you will be already on the right track.

This plan will work best for people who are already training consistently and progressively. And I had those type of people in mind when I put it together.

So let’s start with the things you can eat. Meats are in, this includes, beef, lamb, chicken, turkey, pork, fish and seafood. Eggs aren’t a meat but I’m going to add them into this category as well. Now these meats are not to be processed. No hotdogs, sausages, luncheon meats, and I am including bacon it this list of not to eat processed foods.

Now if you really need to have a bacon fix, we’ll talk about how to make room for that later on.

You should be eating fish at least twice a week.

Now for your carbohydrate sources we include all fruits and vegetables, with the focus being on vegetables. And this includes your tubers or root vegetables like potatoes, yams and turnips. The only grain I am including in this list is oatmeal.

I’ve included olive oil and avocado oil in this plan. Olive oils for your salads and avocado for your stir fry’s and cooking as it has a much higher smoke point. These oils contain healthy fats, but are still very high calorie so you have to use them somewhat sparingly as a single tablespoon will contain over 100 calories.

Now there are some good foods that I have not included in this list and we are going to talk about them in a minute but let’s first put together the foods that have already included.

Veggies should be eaten at every meal, including breakfast and I want at least half your meal going to vegetables. Then I want meat at every meal the portion size is up to you. So for example breakfast could be a bowl of oatmeal, an egg and a bowl of mixed vegetables. Lots of flavour full vegetables like peppers, onions, peas, carrots and tomatoes. At dinner you could have chicken breast or thigh along with a big salad and some potatoes. Spices are in by the way, which will a lot variety and room for personal taste.

I would suggest you look at fruit as more of a dessert or snack item.

For drinks water should be drink number one but coffee and tea are ok, just remember no dairy. I don’t recommend diet soft drinks but if you must only with a meal. Alcohol isn’t recommended but wine would be the better option if you must and only a glass once or twice a week. Stay away from beer and hard liquor.

To help with cravings once a week we will have an open meal where these rules don’t apply so if you have been craving cookies this is the meal to have them at, same goes for chicken wings, pizza and Beer. This diet doesn’t limit food quantities and most days this shouldn’t be a problem. When was the last time you heard of someone binge eating spinach, eggs or chicken breast.

Your open meal there are no limits and this is how I see it typically going down. You go out for dinner have an appetizer, then order something you typically wouldn’t have like say pasta, or a burger with bacon on it and a dessert. Whatever your heart desires.

This also gives you some flexibility when it comes to events like weddings and dinners over at friends. You just make it a scheduled open meal. So you don’t have to worry about temptations you wouldn’t normally have at home.

Now if you are feeling like you are losing weight too fast or are now down to a weight you want to maintain. You can add in some of the foods in that are on my okay foods list. The best food that I have on this list is nuts and seeds. I left them off my main approved foods list because it is so easy to over consume them. A large handful of almonds can be over 250 calories. Other foods that I have on this list is Dairy which includes Greek yoghurt, butter and cheese. Rice both brown and white. Wraps which I like as they make for a good lunch item. and nut butters like peanut butter. Best to add these things in one at a time and see how your body reacts to them. If you start to gain weight simply pull the item back out. This diet will give you a good guideline to help you get started on the right path.
