Just in case you need to hear this: you don't need to lose weight. Don't be happy. Don't fall in love. Don't get the job of your dreams. If you want to lose weight to be healthier? Awesome. Just be aware that body size is not the ultimate end in determining your health. Feeling good and taking care of your body is the goal - and it can look like a lot of different things.
But if you want to make healthy changes to your diet or want to lose fat, going on a diet can really help.
To get you started, nutritionist The Biggest Loser Cheryl Forberg, R.D., designed this seven-day weight loss diet, which is similar to one that helps competitors lose weight. With this easy to follow plan, you are sure to feel refreshed and lose weight (if you want to!) In no time. (Want a longer plan? Try the 30-day clean eating challenge.)
7-day diet plan for weight loss
It is not a deprivation diet: you will eat three meals and two snacks a day, plus each dish contains a filling balance of 45 percent carbohydrates, 30 percent protein, and 25 percent healthy fats. (More on this here: Everything you need to know about counting your macros) When it comes to beverages, Forberg recommends sticking to low-calorie or low-calorie choices like coffee, tea and water.
And to accelerate weight loss and build a strong, healthy body, The Biggest Loser trainer Bob Harper suggests doing 60 to 90 minutes of moderate exercise four times a week. (Also read this: How to create your own workout routine for weight loss)
