The 1800 calorie diet and a 7 day meal plan
The 1800 calories per day is not a random number. The average woman needs about 1500-2000 calories per day in order to maintain current weight. If you are overweight then this means that you have exceeded this number for a number of weeks / months so you need to gradually start lowering your daily calorie intake to the suggested range. The 1800 calorie meal plan is not very difficult to follow so it is perfect for beginners to dieting and weight loss. It gives you all the nutrients and vitamins you need without feeling that you are starving. It includes food items from all food groups and it is a healthy way to lose weight.
How to get started
As with any other diet plan in order to get results you have to follow it strictly for a couple of weeks (at least). Before starting the diet you need to:
- Go through all 7 days of the diet and make sure that you have the necessary ingredients at home. Once you get started you do not want to miss a meal or day because you are not prepared or because you do not have the ingredients you need to prepare your meals.
- Create your shopping list (based on the diet) and purchase the necessary food items.
- Prepare any meals you can in advance or at least plan how you are going to prepare the meals. You know what you will need for the next 7 days so get prepared.
- Start the diet on a Monday morning so that it will be easier to follow the 7 day plan.
- The night before your first day take a measure of your weight and write this number on your dairy or weight loss journal. Do this every 7th night and watch your progress. Note: you may not see results from the first couple of weeks so stick to the diet until you see your weight decreasing.
