Creating a healthy eating plan for weight loss need not be complicated. No gimmicks can replace a healthy attitude to food. It can take time to establish routines which support new and better habits to eliminate emotional or boredom eating, but address these and often the need for another slice of chocolate cake or a second hamburger will disappear.
After all, there are cleanses and weight loss supplements. There are membership programs that give you a points system or taboo foods to avoid. Some provide clients with supportive people all struggling in the same manner.
Most important is balance. Your plate at each meal should give you fuel for now and later without laying down fat too fast. Include equal amounts of protein and carbohydrates with twice as much produce, and mix up your colors. Many colors means many nutrients.
Protein will give you long term energy and support red blood cells with iron. Those are the cells sending oxygen around the body. Your best bet is to go lean: chicken or turkey grilled without skin; beans and legumes; nuts and oily fish. They have the kind of fat your body needs.
As far as your grains go, these should be as whole as possible. Brown or even wild rice surpass white rice in their nutritional integrity and complexity while all of these are better than processed goods made of white flour. Apart from quality of food, how you cook it and what goes into or on a dish are critical. Too much butter or dressing ruins a healthy helping.
Speaking of which, reduce plate sizes. Have one helping reasonable helping. Precede your meal with water and this will fill your stomach before you even start. Of course, fiber is critical. This can be found in many whole foods such as apples, pears, oats and other grains. Also important: do not deny yourself that small treat once in a while or wanting it will nag you all the time.
