BN Beauty Nest With Ameera: Stay Healthy but Eat Yummy! This Meal Plan is for You
After battling with weight issues for the past year I managed to find my perfect healthy eating plan. I have always been petite and slightly underweight so I went on a mission to gain some weight and at least look “normal”.
So, I took a lot of nutritional supplements and exceeded my desired weight and for the first time in my life I was trying to lose weight and not gain it.
I signed up for yoga and started swimming which helped me lose about 3kg in 3 weeks. I had reached my ideal weight after 2 months and discovered that eating only 1500 calories daily helped me maintain my “perfect” weight.
Not only did it fit in perfectly with my new healthy lifestyle, I feel lighter, refreshed and energized after every meal.
I have put together a sample meal plan which is exactly 1500 calories and completely healthy and tasty too. I hope you have as much fun trying out the meals as I did putting them together.
Breakfast
1. Oats or Wheetabix with semi skimmed milk topped with raisins or bananas.
2. Glass of freshly squeezed fruit juice or cranberry juice
Lunch
1. Roast chicken salad with brown bread. (Salad base is iceberg lettuce, cucumber and tomato) chicken should be skinless.
Snack
1. Low fat natural yogurt topped with swirl of honey 
2. Sliced pear
Dinner
1. Basmati rice with grilled salmon or croaker fish and spicy tomato sauce. 
2. Fruit salad with fresh mint purée (blend mint leaves with lemon or lime juice)
I would love to hear how you get along with your own diet meal plans. Remember to also exercise. Choose something you enjoy doing so it doesn’t feel like punishment or a chore. Happy weight loss!
