How to Make a Diet Plan
Millions of people struggle every day with obesity. Some people may want to lose a few pounds, while others want to shed a large amount of excess weight. There are hundreds of diet plans available. But how do you make your own diet plan? It’s simple. Make a few decisions based on your lifestyle and tastes, and then add in exercise to help boost weight loss.
Step 1
Evaluate your current eating habits. For one week, write down every bite of food that you eat. At the end of the week, use an online calorie counter to calculate how many calories you ate during the week.
Step 2
Use your weekly food diary to determine the source of the majority of your calories, whether carbohydrates or fats. This will tell you where you need to cut back. If you want to know how many calories your body needs per day, consult sites like A Healthy Me.
Step 3
Plan your meals using online calorie counters and U.S. government food guidelines. These recommendations are designed to insure that you receive the appropriate nutrition to remain healthy.
Step 4
Get up and exercise. While it is technically possible to lose weight without exercise, a physical exercise routine will burn calories faster and more efficiently. Meals Matter offers a fitness planner to help you start a routine.
