We’ve put together a few free weight loss meal plans for you to make getting started on your diet even easier. Our diet plans follow a few simple rules that you can use to customize your own plans easily.

1. No added sugar: You can use artificial sweetners to get started in the diet, such as Splenda or Truvia, but the best thing to do is learn how to stop sugar cravings for good. Most of our meal plans do not include any added sugars and also rely heavily on switching to whole grains, since refined grains are often processed by the body as sugar.

2. Low-Fat/Low-Cal Foods: Cutting out calories is probably the most popular way to lose weight, but counting calories is a pain in the neck! To help make cutting calories easier, we simply switch regular foods to the “diet” low/no cal and low/no fat foods. While counting calories certainly helps make sure you get enough or not too many, doing this can help you easily reduce calories from your diet without counting them. (You’ll also reduce your calories by going sugar free as well!)

3. Balancing The Food Groups: It is important that you balance the food groups for each meal. Pairing your foods together to make sure all of the food groups are covered will help your body process foods the way it is supposed to. When balancing the food groups, you want to make sure that each meal has a serving from each food group.

Remember, before using these free meal plans for weight loss to speak to your doctor to make sure any of your special dietary needs are taken care of. This diet does not take into consideration things like sodium or cholesterol if either is a concern for you. You will also need to exercise in conjunction with eating healthy if you want to see faster, more permanent results. You can also switch days or make substitutions as you deem necessary. These meal plans are not “rules” but simply a guide to help you determine what you will eat when starting your diet on your own.

Remember, if you’re not eating foods that you like and enjoy, you may not be able to stick to your diet as easily! Dieting shouldn’t be focusing on what you can’t eat – but what great things you can and should be eating!
