Build a Balanced Plate for Weight Loss
-
Fill Half Your Plate with Vegetables
Low in calories and rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, veggies like spinach, broccoli, carrots, and peppers keep you full and energized. -
Add Lean Protein (¼ of Your Plate)
Protein supports muscle and satiety. Choose grilled chicken, fish, eggs, tofu, or legumes to stay fuller longer and support metabolism. -
Include Whole Grains or Fiber-Rich Carbs (¼ of Your Plate)
Swap refined carbs for fiber-rich options like quinoa, brown rice, sweet potatoes, or whole-grain bread to balance blood sugar and curb cravings. -
Add Healthy Fats (Small Amounts)
Boost satiety and absorb vitamins with avocado, nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of olive oil—aim for a thumb-sized serving. -
Flavor Wisely
Use herbs, spices, lemon, or garlic instead of heavy sauces or dressings to cut extra calories without sacrificing taste. -
Stay Hydrated
Drink water or unsweetened tea to aid digestion and prevent confusing thirst with hunger.
Sample Plate: Half veggies, ¼ grilled salmon, ¼ quinoa, with olive oil and avocado.
