Healthy Meals For Weight Loss

Summer is here, we’re coming out of another difficult and busy year, so I think we deserve to feel better about ourselves. About our daily habits, about what we eat, the way we respond to things, about our lives. So in short, yes, I am making another blog post on losing weight. Because I have gained some, miraculously over the last 2 (super stressful) months and I want to get back on track.

Below you’ll find delicious, nutritious, filling healthy meal ideas to help you lose weight and to fuel your body properly. These easy weight loss recipes are nutrient-dense, filling, and satiating to help you stay on track without obsessing about food. Why? Because it’s easy to achieve something when you’re enjoying the process. It’s easy to lose weight when your eating habits feel good and the food you eat tastes good.

Trust me, there’s no point in eating something healthy and low in calories if you’re going to follow it up with thoughts about doughnuts, burgers and Cheetos. Those thoughts will eventually turn into actions, those actions into guilt trips and the entire vicious cycle is ready to start again. Make it your goal to eat food that you feel good about, your taste buds enjoy and your body will love as well.

Eating Healthy Changes Everything Else

Healthy food and healthy eating habits are the foundation of all other habits that play into being a healthy weight and feeling great in your body. No pains, no aches, no cramps, no heaviness.

When your body is properly fueled you have the ability and energy to focus on other areas you want to be disciplined with. Walking and running outside is not torture anymore, it’s just what you do now. Going to bed early and waking up early also becomes easier, because your body gets better rest when it doesn’t have to work on digesting heavy food. Your stress levels go down because you’re not constantly debating with yourself whether or not you should be eating something or not. You have made your decision, your actions back it up and you’re proud of what you’re doing.

If you’re struggling with staying on track and want to get better organized, I highly recommend this printable health and fitness planner. It’s going to help you create better habits, plan your weeks and days better, so you can be more intentional about your health and weight loss. The fitness planner inserts include a printable goal planner, progress tracker, habit tracker, meal planner, workout planner, a daily routine planner and so much more to help you stay focused and motivated during this journey to a healthier body and mind.
