Low Calorie Diet Plan?
Ok, so carb diet I heard is bad, its unhealthy and it does bad things to your body(atkins diet for example). I want a healthy, low calorie diet. Also I want to include complex carbs into my diet as well, cause im going to work out, so i need the energy. Anyone have a diet plan they can share with me. I want ot consume no more than 1500 calories a day. I weigh 190 and i want to lose 20 lbs. Thank you
ooh i have the perfect answer! i call it “the fruit and veg diet (+ one portion of protein after exercise)
basically, the rules are:
- eat only fruits and vegetables
- around 6 small portions per day
- 8 cups of water per day (helps you feel full, and prevents eating from boredom)
- 30-60mins exercise per day
- have one portion of protein after exercise (protein helps repair muscles, and prevents loss of muscle weight)
Benefits of this diet
- You get all the nutrients my body needs to be healthy
- You cut out most of the fat from your diet
- You can eat as much fruit as I want, so you don’t need to feel hungry at all
- Fruits taste delicious
- your metabolism would not shut down as you are still eating, but since the fruit diet reduces your caloric intake, your body will burn off body fats for energy. This equals to weight/fat loss
- Enzymes in the fruit do almost all the work of digestion, allowing the pancreas a much-needed rest.
- Fruit sugars are compounded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, and are carried by the bloodstream and delivered to every cell in the body.
- Fruit fibers, left behind in the colon, are moist and cleansing in nature, softening and removing years of impacted mucus.
- It allows you to be sharp-minded and vibrantly energetic.
i made this diet up myself, with the help of nutritional knowledge attained from various other diets. It worked for me, so you should try it too
I am also on a low calorie diet right now. It’s pretty easy as long as you stay away from the high calorie foods. I’m a vegetarian which makes it easier because most vegetables are low in calories, especially compared to meat. Here is what i eat for most meals:
Breakfast – 2 egg whites and fruit; yogurt and fruit; or ’soy sausage’.
nature valley breakfast bar.
Snacks – dried fruit. almonds or pecans.
Lunch (Try to eat a bigger lunch so you won’t be so hungry for dinner)-
salad with any of the following: salmon, tuna, chicken, tofu.
Snacks – veggies with no dip.
Dinner – A big salad with light dressing. (no croutons, cheese, bacon,
etc.)
Hope this gives you an idea of what you should eat. I’ve lost about 10 pounds and it’s not even hard for me to stick to this diet! I also add a banana protein smoothie after i have a really good workout day!

I cannot plan your whole day out, i dont know what you have in your fridge, you can count calories by yourself, i dont have access to your house, just your random questions you ask online. so i hope these sites give you “ideas” .
search low calorie recipes for mega results.
if you want carbs, search low calorie recipes rich in carbs.
idk?
Hope You suceed in your diet plan, be sure to take a multi vitamin daily to make up for going low calorie and not getting all the nutrition you need daily.
p.s. eat lots of veggies and fruit, theyre full of fiber to fill u up, and low in calories, you burn most of the calories just digesting them. drink loads of water, it also helpzz…

You must have correct info if you want to lose weight. You can did program that I lost 21 pounds in 35 days. It works very well and It will work for you too. You can find more info at http://doiop.com/ejrght95
It’s long but you should read it all.
You expend energy no matter what you’re doing, even when sleeping. Thus your Basal Metabolic Rate is the number of calories you’d burn if you stayed in bed all day – a tempting idea for some.
i don’t know your avg bmr (age, weight, height is a factor). you need certain amount of calories just for your body to function…your liver, kidneys, sex organs, muscles, digestion, etc. If you are not getting enough calories, your body will use your muscles as fuel and your organs.
‘In-depth answer’
“Why low calorie diet doesn’t work
several important criteria people ask
Does it help you lose weight?
Most reduced-calorie diets accomplish only that
You do lose weight, of course, if you eat less than your body needs for fuel and maintenance. This is probably why most people assume that it’s just obvious that a low-calorie diet is the answer to a weight problem. It’s also the reason that many people go back on the same low-calorie diet that they used in the past, because they know it ‘worked’. We give credit to the diet when we lose weight, and we blame ourselves when we gain it all back again.
But there are known side-effects of a low-calorie diet that everyone should know about before they start cutting their calories. And one of the natural side effects is gaining extra weight after the diet is over.
In 1917, by the director of the Carnegie Institution of Washington’s Nutrition Laboratory, Francis Benedict there was a study published under the title Human Vitality and Efficiency Under Prolonged Restricted Diet.
A similar study was done in 1944 at the University of Minnesota. The results were published in 1950 in the book The Biology of Human Starvation.
What really happens on a ‘well-balanced’ low-calorie diet?
The Carnegie Study
The 1917 study was designed to find out if humans could thrive mentally and physically on a low-calorie diet. During the study careful records were kept of the psychological and physical symptoms encountered by a group of young male volunteers who were put on reducing diets of 1400 to 2100 calories a day. They stayed at this level for a month, in order to lose an average of 10% of their starting body weight. After the initial weight loss, the men were kept on reduced-calorie diets for two months so they would keep their weight at this new level.
If you have ever been on a ‘well balanced’ reduced-calorie diet in order to lose weight, the results of this study will sound familiar to you.
.
Symptoms: The 10% weight loss occurred, as expected. However, the 12 men in the study constantly complained of a gnawing hunger, and they said it was almost impossible to stay warm, no matter how much clothing they wore.
Their metabolism slowed down so much that they would begin to regain weight if the daily calorie level went up over 2100 calories, even though they ate far more than that before the study started. Their blood pressure and pulse rate went down, they became anemic, they had difficulty concentrating, and physical activity made them weak.
One symptom must have been extremely upsetting to these young healthy men – their interest in sex was reduced, and in some cases it vanished completely.
Many of these symptoms occurred only a few days after beginning the low-calorie diet.
After the diet was over: Once the three month study was over, the volunteers were cautioned against over-eating, but they seemed unable to stop themselves from doing just that. They felt strong cravings for anything sweet, and indulged in every snack they could lay their hands on.
Within two weeks, these young men were back at their original starting weight, and then gained an average of eight more pounds, making them heavier than they were before their diet.’
Conclusion
Most people start a reduced calorie diet after reading an article in a magazine about the newest way to lose weight, or we join a club like Weight Watchers. Even when the diet is prescribed by your doctor, it is rare to receive as much attention that the volunteers in those low-calorie diet studies received.
Yet I’ve never read a notice, in any diet book, that cautions readers about the possibility of depression, psychosis, food obsessions, and a loss of interest in sex. That warning wouldn’t sell many books, would it?
And you can also see why the long-term success rates are in the 1% to 5% range. Most people, like the healthy volunteers in the Carnegie and University of Minnesota studies, end up heavier than they started.
If that’s happened to you (and it’s happened to almost everyone who has tried to lose weight by cutting calories), your doctor probably thinks you don’t have enough will power.
Maybe you don’t think you have enough will-power, either. But these two studies, and others like them, have proven that your will-power has nothing to do with it.
Gaining weight is just one of the many negative physical and psychological consequences of a low-calorie diet.”
