<\/strong>Keep your metabolism stoked<\/a> by eating five or six small meals for a total of 1,600 calories every day. Youll eat every two to three hours to help you avoid hunger and overeating. And you can eat a cup of nonstarchy veggies (anything but potatoes, corn, peas, and beans) whenever youre hungry. Break up your 1,600 calories this way:<\/li>\n
<\/strong>Allow yourself 400 extra calories per week (on top of those allowed on the plan). So if you want a cocktail or two on Friday night or that slice of pizza on Saturday, go ahead.<\/p>\n
On days you do 30-minute Feel Great Weight cardio workouts, you can add a 100-calorie snack: Try 1\/2 cup cottage cheese and 1\/2 cup berries or an apple and piece of string cheese.
Fill up with fruits and veggies.<\/p>\n
Aim for 25 to 35 grams of fiber per day to keep you full, aid in digestion, and help lower cholesterol. Choose high-fiber carbs: whole-grain cereals, breads, and pastas; brown rice; quinoa; oatmeal; flaxseed; unpeeled fruits and veggies.<\/p>\n
Protein makes you feel full, and the amino acids it contains will help you build lean muscle mass, which, in turn, burns calories more efficiently. Aim for 0.75 to 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight, and think lean.<\/p>\n
Fish: Go easy on shellfish if you have high cholesterol.<\/p>\n
For this 1,600-calorie diet, shoot for 36 to 53 grams of fat per day. Its necessary to have some fat in your diet—about 20 to 30 percent of your total calories (no more than 10 percent from saturated fat). Fat gives you energy, helps insulate your body, and helps your body make hormones. Several vitamins (A, D, E, and K) also need fat to be absorbed. Try these good sources of healthy fat: avocado, nuts, seeds, salmon, and olive oil<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Because weight can fluctuate daily (thanks to carbohydrate and salt intakes), Richter recommends weighing in once per week—same time, same scale; that will give you the most consistent read on your progress. Because youre replacing fat with muscle, you can also measure your waist, hips, thighs, and arms to find out if your shape is changing (even if the number on the scale isnt).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
