Menu For 7 Days To Lose Weight, 1500 Calories Daily

This simple weekly menu of 1,500 calories per day will help you lose weight without harming your health. Because the meal plan is designed in accordance with the rules of healthy eating: it contains the required amount of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins and minerals; you will get more than half of your food in the form of vegetables; lean meats are preferred; vegetable fats are used for cooking; the food is tasty, colorful and interesting. This plan is a continuation of the 1800 calorie per day and 2000 calorie per day weekly meal plans.

It is worth remembering healthy, safe weight loss parameters: you should lose up to 0.5-1 kg per week, up to 2 kg per month, no more than 10 kg per year, and up to 10% of your previous weight. The ideal weight can be calculated according to your body mass index. Body mass index can show whether you are overweight or even obese.

Do I need to lose weight or a body mass index?

During diets, you should feel good, if you feel weak, dizzy, drink warm sweet tea, especially if you have sugar problems (impaired glucose tolerance, diabetes) or other chronic diseases. In this case, be sure to monitor your sugar level with a glucose meter, consult a doctor you trust, and follow your doctor’s recommendations.

Your weight loss should be your journey to a new way of life, to health, because it’s not about temporarily tightening your belt just to fit into your favorite dress – although this motivation is quite understandable! A healthy lifestyle is the key to an active and interesting life! It is important not to put yourself in a tight framework of rules, which, in turn, leads to disappointment in imperfection and unnecessary stress. The best strategy is to have a positive attitude, make realistic plans, and respect and appreciate yourself for the work you do.

Also remember that the expression “life is movement” is not just an expression, but a scientifically proven fact – we need to move every day to be healthy and active!
