Nutrition is most definitely the biggest factor to lose weight. However, to lose weight you can't give up, which is why it's important to enjoy your healthy meals. This blog post will inform you on the best and healthiest meals to help lose weight!
Breakfast:
- Breakfast is very important when it comes to losing weight, there are many breakfasts that you may think are healthy, but they are not.
Overnight Oats:
1. Pour Oats Into a jar or bowl (put as many as you think is necessary)
2. Get a fat free yogurt pot, any flavor.
3. Put the whole yogurt in the bowl or jar with oats.
4. Mix the oats and yogurt thoroughly
5. Next, you can use frozen berries or fresh berries.
6. Add as many as you like on top of the yogurt and oats.
7.Put the bowl or jar in the fridge and that's it!
This breakfast isn't only healthy, but trust me it's very good. I preferably like fresh strawberries, but you can use anything.
Lunch:
- Lunch should be quick and easy. The quickest meal to make is pasta salad. Pasta Salad has many different variations, here is one:
Salmon Pasta Salad with lemon and capers:
Ingredients:
85g wholewheat penne
1 tbsp rapeseed oil
1 large red pepper, roughly chopped
2 frozen, skinless wild salmon fillets (about 120g each)
1 lemon , zested and juiced
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 shallot , very finely chopped
2 tbsp capers
6 pitted Kalamata olives, sliced
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
2 handfuls rocket
How to make it:
Cook the pasta following pack instructions. Meanwhile, heat the rapeseed oil in a frying pan, add the pepper, cover and leave for about 5 mins until it softens and starts to char a little. Stir, then push the pepper to one side and add the salmon. Cover and fry for 8-10 mins until just cooked.
Meanwhile, mix the lemon zest and juice in a large bowl with the garlic, shallot, capers and olives.
Add the cooked pepper and salmon to the bowl. Drain the pasta and add it too, with black pepper and the olive oil. Toss everything together, flaking the salmon as you do so. If eating now, toss through the rocket; if packing a lunch, leave to cool, then put in a container with the rocket on top and mix through just before eating.
Dinner:
Dinner can take longer than lunch, so you can switch up your meals. There are many meals that are very tasty and healthy. I personally recommend smoky bacon noodle pot.
Ingredients:
1 rasher smoked back bacon , trimmed and chopped
2 spring onions , white and green separated and finely sliced
50g frozen pea
quarter tsp praprika
2 tsp cornflour
200ml vegetable stock
150g block straight-to-wok wheat noodle, or equivalent of dried, cooked
splash Worcestershire sauce
How to make it:
In a small non-stick pan, fry the bacon for a few mins, add the white parts of the spring onions, peas and paprika, then cook for 1 min more. Mix the cornflour with a little of the stock to get a paste, then stir this into the pan with the rest of the stock, noodles and a good splash of Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for a couple of mins until thick and saucy, then scatter with the green parts of spring onion.
