Weight loss: how to do daily meal planning
Daily meal planning may be the key for weight loss.
Recently I saw a patient who was suffering from multiple medical problems. One of them and perhaps the most important – obesity. And my patient understands this. But when I reminded him about weight loss, he said that he cannot eat the right food because of the simple and obvious reason: he did not have time to get what he needed, because of being always busy. And this is understandable. Being busy is the part of our lives. So what has to be done?
Do you know that good planning prevents poor performance? I think this is the key: planning! Not once in a while, but daily meal planning. What I do for myself: in the morning before eating my morning fruits and supplements with plenty of water I plan my lunch evening meal and next morning fruit meal to figure out what needs to be bought in the food or grocery store. Usually in my daily meal planning I write the list of fruits, vegetables, meat or fish or chicken. And I try to buy the food before work. If I cannot do it in the morning, I do my daily meal planning in the evening and buy food before coming home from work. As soon as planning is done and food is brought from the store I am guarantied, that I get the right food. Usually in the daytime I eat fruits and drink pure water, which is easy to do and does not require preparation.
Evening meal has to be done at home to make sure, that there is no processed food and no food additives like monosodium glutamate. I also use calorie calculation to plan the meals and the multiply it by 2 to make sure that I do not get too much calories. But it is optional. That is how I do my daily meal planning. Isn’t it easy?
