Weight Loss Meal Plan - Female

The following example meal plan has been designed for a female who wishes to lose weight sensibly and keep it off. Obviously the amount of weight a female wishes to or has to lose varies and depends on how overweight she is prior to commencing a weight loss regimen. The following is a good general guide, nutritionally balanced for weight loss to suit an adult female in a sedentary job.

Whilst not essential, exercise will be a huge help in helping to speed up the rate of weight loss. Try to do some light cardiovascular exercise (e.g. running, cycling, stepper, cross-trainer, treadmill, etc) for around 40 minutes at least three times per week. If possible do this on an empty stomach first thing in the morning, but if this isn't practical, later on in the day will also benefit both fitness and weight loss.

Like all plans, the one below is merely an example and needs to be adapted to suit an individual's activity level, own lifestyle, daily routine and nutritional requirements. Use this to give you an idea of which healthy nutritious foods should be included, and don't forget to vary your food choices and to drink plenty of water through the day.
