Having a weight loss eating plan does require a little adjustment to your current way of life. However there is no need to be anxious about this little process because it is fairly straightforward so long as you are serious about achieving your weight loss objective.

The initial steps to have a weight loss eating plan are quite easy. In fact, I call them baby steps on account of their simplicity and you will soon see why.

So what are the initial steps or ways to format a weight loss eating plan for both men and women?

Here is my simple 3-week fat loss formula.

Step 1. Have photographic evidence of yourself.
What does this mean? Take an initial photograph of yourself before the process begins. This is the ‘before’ picture. You want to know where you were at the beginning of your journey.

Please make sure the picture reveals the areas you dislike in your physique. The whole idea is to emphasize these features as this is going to be your driving force.

At the end of the 3 weeks, you will take an ‘after’ picture. Now you will see a difference and this difference will be your motivating factor to carry on with our weight loss eating plan beyond the 3 weeks.

Step 2. Start a food diary.
What you want to do is keep a diary of all foods you eat over the 3 weeks. The diary will have not just only foods but also a documentation of how hungry you were at the time you ate. Rate your degree of hunger on a scale of 1 – 10.

You also want to document your emotional state at the time you had your meal, snack or beverage.

After the first 3 days of keeping the diary, you will then start reviewing your journal to identify where your diet is going wrong. It will obvious to you that you do engage in emotional eating and this habit will have to stop, otherwise the rest of our weight loss eating plan will be thrown in disarray.

Another adjustment that you will make with your new weight loss eating plan is making adjustment to your food portions. Naturally this would mean adopting smaller food portions over the 3 weeks.

Step 3. More vegetables and fruits.
The next step in your new weight loss eating plan is adjusting your diet such that more vegetables and fruits are included.

Included will be a good 5 portions of vegetables and fruits. The more portions of vegetables and fruits you add the better.

Remember that fruits and vegetables have low calorie count which in effect means your daily calorie intake is reduced.

The fibre content of fruits and vegetables is also high. What does this mean? Fibre is digested a lot slower than other foods and gives a feeling of fullness. The implication of this high fibre content is that you are hungry less often and you consume less.

Now you can see how a sensible weight loss eating plan can help you shed those unwanted pounds in just 3 weeks. See the resource box for how you can get structured eating plan with detailed meal plans for free.
