Easy Breezy Detox Meal Plan For Weight Loss & To Help Build Muscle

Knowing what to eat and how to get started with your meal plans can be very frustrating and confusing. Below, you will find an adequate meal plan that will not only help you lose weight, but will detox your body to eliminate toxins and speed your metabolism. The plan is to consume between 1200-1600 calories a day of nutrient dense foods that are packed with vitamins and minerals. 

The average person will either skip breakfast or only eat 3 large meals a day. The first part of a healthy lifestyle change is to break up 3 large meals into 6 small meals. The goal is to never allow yourself to feel hungry and to eat when you don't feel hungry. When your stomach starts to growl, it is a sign that your body is depleted of nutrients and you shouldn't wait until this happens so eat every 2-3 hours. 

Lemon water is a great refreshing beverage and is full of vitamins and minerals and will help you consume your daily intake of water. To flush your digestive system, it is recommended to drink a gallon or more of water a day. This may sound like a lot of water, but it will keep your body hydrated, and the easiest way to drink water is to have two glasses of water with each of your meals.

Measuring your food is tedious, so the easiest way to keep track of your food intake is to measure your meals with the size of your hand. Your main entree or protein food should be no larger than your fist and this measures to be about 3-4 ounces of protein. Each side should be only a half the size of your fist. Your plate will look small but when you're eating 6 small meals a day, I guarantee you will not be going hungry. You'll feel full and satisfied. 

And don't forget to exercise! 30-60 minutes of moderate exercise for 4-5 days a week will suffice until your ready to move onto the next level of your ideal fitness program and routine.
