Diet Plan For 1200 Calories A Day
August 15th, 2008 Posted by: Kaye Medalla
A growing number of books on the subjects about calorie counting and particularly weight loss or diet recipes have exploded in the market in the past decades. Never before has there been such a widespread of popular interest on diet plans, 1200 calorie diet plan being advised as the lowest a person should go. Well, this frenzy is primarily due to the growing number of our population who have also been growing a large in the past years.
I know you are probably eager to buy the latest 1200 calorie diet recipe to start on your weight loss plan but before you do that, I have here and example of this kind of diet plan so you could more or loss gauge yourself if you can handle it, otherwise I would advise that you start with a higher number. Although our purpose of losing weight is for health reasons and benefits, we should never forget that, your health while on a diet should not be neglected.
1200 Calorie Diet Plan Menu
Breakfast Small glass grapefruit juice 1/2 cup oatmeal 1 glass skim milk 1 whole wheat toast 1 teaspoon jam coffee or tea
Lunch Vegetable chow mien with 2oz chicken or diced lean beef 1/4 cup rice 1/4 cupFresh pinapple chunks 1 glass buttermilk
Dinner 3oz baked veal chop Small baked potato Peas Fresh fruit salad Raspberry ice
To make a low-calorie Chow mein, dice the lean beef or chicken, 1/4 cup peas, 1/4 cup bean sprouts, 1/2 cup celery, 1 small minced onion. If you can do away with a 1/4 cup soy sauce the better. Steam the peas, bean sprouts, celery. You can also boil the vegetables with 1/4 cup of water if a steamer is unavailable but steaming the veggies will preserve more of the nutrients that you would need instead of boiling them. Mix the vegetables and meat and serve on steamed rice. This alone is already a total of 410 calories of your 1200 caloried diet plan.
Although this may seem an easy diet to follow, a lot of people do get some problems in sticking to the 1200 calorie limit. The cravings are felt as early as the 4th day from the start. That is mostly when the food binges and “accidents” happen. I suggest that when you want to start a diet, start out with something that you can stick to for the long term to get maximum and successful results.
