How to eat what you want and still lose weight
Flexible diet without deprivation for longer commitment and better results
I can't stick to the diet, I always mess up my eating plan and diet, I don't see results even though I'm committed all week
Slow burning and slow weight loss make me lose motivation and quit the diet
As soon as I quit the diet, I gain weight really fast and I might end up heavier than when I started

These were the biggest problems our clients always told us at the start of their subscription
We asked them what their weekly routine was like
Most of them relied on eating less during the weekdays and then taking one or two days off on the weekend to keep going
Example of a day
|
Breakfast |
A piece of fruit and a cup of milk |
|
Lunch |
Green salad and chicken breast |
|
Dinner |
A yogurt cup with lemon juice |
Always the weekend, either Thursday and Friday or Friday and Saturday.
The two weekend days, the food in one day is basically ....
A piece of Cinnabon, a big burger meal, some pizza slices, chips, cookies, chocolate, and we definitely can't forget the soda, which is the favorite drink with these meals.
So we have four or five days a week where the diet doesn’t exceed 1000 calories, which is below or at the low normal calorie limit.
And her weekend ends with 4500 calories per day.
As shown in the picture.
The red line is a complicated diet most days of the week with one or two rest days.
A study showed women use this diet way more than men and they always resort to it believing it will work.....

We studied this problem and came up with an ideal system that keeps us always sticking to the diet and makes our eating simple, enjoyable, and covers our needs.
Now let's explain this system……
Let's keep some favorite tasty meals during the week that we always crave :D, and turn to them at the weekend like pizza, béchamel, kabsa, and sweets, but limit the carbs, protein, and fat amounts according to the body's needs. We made our weekly system ideal, varied, very filling, and 80% healthy, giving great results.
The following table shows a full ideal day plan that meets needs and gives excellent results.
By making our day and healthy life more flexible than just healthy meals.
An example of a flexible plan

Your diet is very important. We need to manage our calorie intake from fats and carbs so we stay consistent all week. The whole idea is to enjoy and do well midweek, not slack off at the end or on the free day, so we get results that keep us motivated to continue.
-
We have to watch our calories, know our calorie needs and what calories come from protein, fat, and carbs. Then set this based on our goal.
For example:
A person consuming 2100 calories with at least 120 grams of protein as a minimum. Carbs and fats will easily meet the rest of the needs. We keep fats and carbs in check to save enough calories to see results that motivate us to keep going. Remember 1 gram of protein = 4 calories, 1 gram of carbs = 4 calories, and 1 gram of fat = 9 calories.

The yellow line shown in the picture shows how you can have a healthy variety during your week while keeping calories steady for better, lasting results without weight plateau and no need for any free days.
What's coming next is very important to stick to a diet for a long time:
Keep your diet flexible as much as you can. Your eating plan should have flexibility so you can stick to it long term, turning it into a lifestyle and seeing real results. You should be able to manage when you're out and find the healthiest options nearby. Success depends on the diet fitting your life so you can actually keep it up and get good results.

There’s no magic trick to lose extra fat but I’ll teach you that sticking to simple, easy things will get much better results.
-
When we do a harsh diet or tough plan and feel deprived, we start to see free meals or cheat days as the last chance to eat the food we love. So we tend to eat more and more before going back to deprivation. Don’t let your diet control you in a negative way or become a source of stress.
Many studies looked at diets with deprivation and found that people on them eat more of the forbidden foods when given the chance than someone who just eats moderate food. Sometimes they eat just to taste, not from hunger.
-
Research shows people don’t need a complicated diet as much as they need to change bad eating habits. That’s what I focus on with most clients. It helps maintain progress and get better results.
Healthy life and good habits. A tough diet will make you lose control.
-
Problems with free days at the weekend or end of week can ruin all the progress all week and even add more weight. Watch people who do this and you’ll see they get frustrated and lose hope because they don’t see results that keep them going through the hard days. This pushes us back to needing balance.
-
One reason tough diets fail is they can lower your metabolism because your body isn’t getting what it needs to burn properly. When we deprive our body and then eat a lot at the weekend, it stores that fat.
Can we take a rest day at the end of the week or one free day every week??
First, keep your protein ratio. Second, count your calories well and save some to add on your free day or the day you eat out. Watch your calorie loss throughout the week, 7000 calories equal about one kilo lost. If you don't control your calories, weight loss could slow down or stop.
Finallyyyy
Your diet needs to fit your life and needs and also consider your mood so you can stick to it. It should be fun, help your goal, and suit your lifestyle. Have balance in food and meals you like, no matter what. Get used to healthy habits because those last for life.

Simplicity, flexibility, and no complication are the keys to any diet's success.

Try this plan. I use it myself and with most of my followers and will keep using it with more. The results are very good and reliable...
