Weekly Meal Plan for Good Health

When you feel like your body is in good shape but you feel unhealthiness squirming on your insides, the best thing you can do with yourself is starting to eat healthy. Take a cozy massage in a recliner, do a light workout every once in a while and you are set for life.

There are some ups and downs you have to adjust to your diet when you are eating for a specific cause like losing weight. But, to keep your heart in good shape, the ideal diet requires you to eat food from every food group and try to not exceed a set number of calories.

The diet plan we have set for you, ranges from 1200-1400 calories and includes food from all food groups like carbohydrates, fats, protein, and fiber. It also contains healthy sub-groups of foods like those that contain omega-3 fatty acids and healthy vitamins.

In recent studies, scientists have also figured out that the key to a healthy digestive system and quicker metabolism is eating small meals throughout the day. So instead of giving you hefty portions of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, this diet has taken some of the calories from these three meals and included them in snacks that you should take between each meal.

So without further ado, let’s get started on your Seven Day diet plan:

Day One

Breakfast
Start your day with a large, fresh egg. Choose between toast and an English muffin and between avocados and romaine lettuce. Mash the avocado for a lovely texture and season the egg with a pinch of salt.

A ¾ cup of blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries

Lunch
Since you already went through the trouble of making salsa for breakfast, why not re-use it for lunch? Fill the salsa in some small tortillas with black beans and reduced-fat cheddar cheese and make yourself a delicious quesadilla. This day is almost like a cheat day.

Snack
Peanut butter with celery sticks

Dinner
Make some smoked salmon sushi rolls for dinner. Consume it with some reduced-fat ice cream.

Lunch
Make a chickpea salad with tomatoes cucumbers and avocados, with a salad dressing of your choice. Eat it with a honeydew melon.

Snack

Dinner
On the seventh day of your healthy diet plan, go a little crazy and make a cauliflower pizza. In case you haven’t watched the scores of videos on the internet with how to make a cauliflower pizza, don’t fret; it’s really simple.

Break down a cauliflower and run it through a food processor. Wrap it in a cotton cloth and squeeze really hard to get rid of the water content. Use the remaining cauliflower as a dough and make a pizza base. Spread some tomato sauce on it, add toppings of your choice (like diced chicken, tomatoes and onions), and top it with some fresh mozzarella.

Bake it in your oven and you have the healthiest and tastiest alternative for a pizza in front of you.

This diet is great for everyone; from diabetics to overweight people and generally healthy and active people. Substitute any products with more suitable ones in case you have allergies or are sensitive to that particular food. The most common substitute you will need is for nuts and you can easily change it with a fruit of your choice.
