Lazy Girl Diet Plan

Everyone is wanting a more fit version of themselves but some of us have a LOT of other things going on in our lives so the fit body dreams get pushed to the back if our minds.  If you can relate this lazy girl diet plan is for you!

The following are easy diet plan guidelines that can become second nature.  Once that happens the slimming down will happen seemingly by magic.

Before first meal

If you are one who wakes up starving and grabs the fruity pebbles first thing, Stop that!

Drink a glass of water and hold breakfast off a bit.

Your first meal can be 2 hours after you wake up.  Waiting for breakfast is a great way to train your mind and body to be in tune with one another.  So be lazy and don’t make breakfast first thing.

Portion sizes and total calories you consume in a day matter.  This will look different for everyone.  For my size my portions are small:

  • For example: one egg on one slice toast is very filling for me.

Breakfast

As a lazy girl I eat what I like and don’t want to count calories.  Think of the easy breakfast foods you lean towards most days and tune them up.

Breakfast should be non processed, non sugary foods full of protein and/or fiber. This will keep you stay full and feeling satisfied till lunch time.

• Eggs with whole grain toast

• Oatmeal and fruit

• Greek yogurt and berries

• Protein shake with banana and peanut butter (find my favorite protein drink on amazon here)

• Toast with peanut butter

Lunch

Since you ate a late breakfast, lunch time will come up faster.  No need for snacking in between these meals but drink WATER!

Easy lunches are a lazy girls favorite kind of lunch.  I don’t spend my weekends filling Tupperware with all my carefully planned meals for the week, but I did go grocery shopping for my healthy go to ingredients so everything is ready to grab and go.

I have cut up veggies I keep in containers like these.  They are clear glass that make your fresh foods pretty and highly visible when you open your fridge.

Glass storage containers

My Favorite: Glass Storage Containers

The Go- To lunch list:

• Tortillas! Lots of yummy varieties of tortillas are available. My favs right now the ones you buy uncooked.  (Walmart and Costco have them in their fridge section) You cook them yourself which adds a step but they taste so fresh that way.

Build your salad or sandwich in your tortilla.

• Lettuce, spinach, any leafy green

• Chicken, tuna or salmon,

• Black beans (or any beans you like)

• Tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, any veggie you love.  Have them washed and cut for the week to make sure they make it in your mouth.

• Oil, salt, and pepper

Not feeling like a wrap:

• Soup and sandwich

• Big salad! Add hard boiled egg, walnuts, avocado. (Fat and protein in a salad leaves you full and satisfied longer) Include a fat full dressing.

Whatever your favorite lunch is now can be modified to include whole foods and “clean” ingredients.  You don’t have to quit everything you love, that won’t he sustainable.  Sometimes your favorite recipes just need a little tweaking to become dream body making dishes.

Water pairs perfect with lunch!

Snacky Snack Snack

Having healthy snacks purchased and near by when the hunger strikes is key.  It is too easy to stop for fast food or a gas station snack aisle if you aren’t prepared with healthy foods you like on hand.

Snack ideas (pick one of these in an afternoon hunger attack) Add water

• Nuts

• Cut veggies or fruit

• Hummus

• Cheese and whole grain crackers

• Protein drink (I like FitMiss Protein Powder)

• Salad

• Hard boiled eggs

• Whole grain toast

• Peanut butter

• Greek yogurt

• Cottage cheese

Dinner

Protein and veggies…. Easy peasy

• Chicken and Broccoli

• Steak and Asparagus

• Salmon and Spinach

Water (again!)

Dessert

Yes! Dessert. Eat a cookie or have a little ice cream or chocolate.  A little is key here.  Denying yourself is a good way to make yourself hate your healthy “diet”.

You will find yourself craving less sugar the more you eliminate sugar from your day.  You will notice this “diet” is lower in carbs (if you want to categorize it like that)  there isn’t lots of bread/ pasta, but includes lots fruit and veggies.

One new thing you are going to adopt for your lazy girl diet is to stop eating after dinner/ dessert.  You will become better at adjusting portion sizes during your day to accommodate a longer nightly fast. Read more about why I love intermittent fasting here.

If you need a snack after dinner time choose something high in protein or a healthy fat.

You won’t include any foods or condiments labeled “low fat/ fat free” or “diet” or “low carb” but “low in sugar/ sugar free” or is good.  Use butter or salad dressings to add flavor and make veggies more filling and satisfying.

If you eat this way 80% of the time, eating out or “cheating” every once in a while won’t wreck your body.

This lazy girl diet plan is meant to simplify your life.  Find the foods you love that make your body feel great and make it automatic!

You can see from this list of foods you can be “lazy” by keeping your meals simple with fresh and nutrient rich foods while avoiding prepackaged foods.
