7-Day Weight Loss Meal Plan You Can Use Today!

The best weight loss meal plan is the one you can stick to! We’ll outline simple meal plans to lose weight in this post and provide a sample 7 day diet plan for weight loss!

A Quick Weight Loss Diet Plan

We don’t believe in losing a ton of weight quickly because it can lead to yo-yo dieting and binge eating. We want you to lose weight and keep it off. That’s why you’ll be eating 4x a day on our weight loss meal plan.

Remember your diet is just what you are eating on a daily basis. We’re not about limiting food groups or depriving ourselves.

A good weight loss comes from consistently making healthy choices. Remember it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. We aim for 80-90% healthy.

The quickest weight loss diet plan we’d recommend is just 7-days and designed to jumpstart your results. After that, you should go to a more flexible plan like that outlined below.
