One good way to reduce weight is to lose calories. This is done by taking in fewer calories than what we usually consume. This will eventually lead to weight loss. But we should also make sure that we are giving our body the right amount of calories, else the body metabolism will sputter and may lead to unforeseen complications.

There are a lot of diet plans that offer you reduced amount of calorie intake. A 1000 calorie diet plan is one such very low calorie diet plan.Be cautioned that 1000 calories a day will be suitable for people who exercise minimally and this diet plan is only for a short time frame. This diet plan should not be continued for more than three days in a row. This is a very low level of calories diet plan so always consult your doctor before embarking on a 1000 calorie diet plan. This diet plan provides us with so few calories that it might be impossible to meet the nutritional demands of the body with this plan. This plan is generally recommended by doctors when obesity has become a threat to life itself or as a preparation for a surgery. Therefore only after you doctor approves of your plan you should follow this diet. Also make sure that you drink lots of water when following this diet plan and keep your body well-hydrated.

USDA Recommendations:

The USDA recommends the following proportions for a 1000 calorie diet so that it allows proper nutrition while also contributing to weight loss. One cup of fruits and vegetables, 3 ounces of grains, 2 ounces of meat and beans, 2 cups of milk, 3 teaspoons of oil and 165 discretionary calories of your choice as the ideal diet plan. Also drink as much water and zero calories beverages as you like to make sure that your body gets the necessary fluids.

Sample Diet Plan:

Sample 1:

Breakfast:

The breakfast should primarily consist of cereal and bananas. Typically you can have a cup of cereal, a cup of skimmed milk and a small size banana.

Morning Snack:

The morning snack can contain one cup of skimmed milk blended with quarter of a cup of frozen strawberries.

Lunch:

Typically the lunch is composed of sandwich and fresh fruit. 2 slices of whole wheat bread, 3 ounces of lean meat, 1 plum, lettuce, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers. You can also have chopped onions, mushrooms, olives and sprouts.

Afternoon snack:

You can enjoy any food you like but it should amount to 50 calories. Typically cottage cheese worth 50 calories can be consumed as an afternoon snack.

Dinner:

Dinner should consist of one cup of shredded lettuce, half a cup of your favorite beans, one flour tortilla shell, rice worth 75 calories and one slice of low fat mozzarella cheese.

You can have a cup of strawberries as a bedtime snack.

Herbal teas and water and zero calorie beverages should be consumed all through the day.

Sample 2:

Breakfast:

Apple oatmeal is the best nutritious and low calories breakfast that you can think of. This will also provide you with the energy that you require for the whole day. Apple oatmeal is prepared using half a cup of water, three quarters a cup of skimmed milk, 1/3 cup of oatmeal, half an apple and quarter a teaspoon of cinnamon.

Snack:

You can have a handful of the nuts of your choice but make sure that they are not salted. Typical nuts that you can consume include almonds, walnuts, brazil nuts etc..

Lunch:

A scrambled egg toast made from a large egg, a slice of whole wheat bread, one table spoon of skimmed milk and half a oz of low fat shredded cheese.

Dinner:

Dinner should consists of 2 cups of shredded lettuce, 6 cherry tomatoes, half avocado, half a cup of sliced red pepper, one thinly slice onion, one table spoon of low fat dressing and 2 oz chopped chicken.

Having said all that, 1000 calories is a very low calorie intake and should be used only as a starter for weight loss or as a cleansing diet. This diet is also recommended when you need to rebalance your digestive system after a bout of unhealthy eating. But always get the doctor or a professional health expert’s approval before starting with this diet plan. As this diet is so calorie deficit, special attention should be placed on the nutritional value of the ingredients of your diet plan to make sure that you get the proper nutrition content during the days your dieting with this diet plan.

An unhealthy body will lead to a number of complications and will not lose weight effectively. So be sure that you are consuming enough nutrients to maintain your healthy body.

In this video, I deal with the importance of water in a low carb or specifically Atkins Diet. Like any diet, water is important to make you fill full, keep you hydrated for exercise, and to quench your thirst. Its importance can not be stressed enough in a low carb diet though as its additional benefits, such as:
* its role in metabolizing fat
* its role in reducing Induction Flu symptoms
* its role in flushing the toxins and by-products (like ketones) from the system through your kidneys

I deal with the quesiton of how much is required per day and even make some suggestions on how to make it more palatable for those hydro-phobic people like I was. My suggestion is to look at water intake like a necessity similar to exercise. For somethings you just need to get it over with and get on with life. Eventually, it won’t seem as bad as it might when you are first starting, and given the prospect of lower than optimal weight loss, why wouldn’t you drink it?

Thanks again for all the views and comments.

This video is in response to a question I received:
“I’ve been very faithful and am over the induction flu, but now I don’t have ANY energy. I slept great last night and I feel like I could lay down right now and take a nap. I’m not skipping meals, I’m taking a multivitamin, and am drinking loads of water. What can I do to get my energy back up?”

My response to her was you are still early into the diet, so your body is still probably adjusting to the new diet. However, if you want to try something immediately, you might a couple supplements that worked for me.

In this video, I deal with another viewer comment on why do people not lose weight or suffer weight loss stalls / plateaus. The first answer is “is it really a stall?”, “Have you lost any inches not just pounds?”, and “Have you not lost in more than 4 weeks?” If you satisfy these above question, this video is for you.

Here is list of reasons that I go into in this video:
1.) Eating too many carbs (hidden carbs / underestimating)
2.) Undereating – starvation mode dieting
3.) Dehydration
4.) Overeating
5.) Too little exercise
6.) Stress
7.) Food Sensitivities / Candida

In the next video I will touch upon your response. Here are some other good low carb resources:

Best Way to lose weight

Low Fat Foods DON’T WORK.

You cannot lose weight using Low Fat Diets. Low fat foods have been popular for more than 15 years, but yet our society is getting more overweight as each year passes. This fact alone should tell you that eating a purely low fat menu is not the answer to losing weight.

Low Calorie Diets DON’T WORK.

You won’t lose weight using a Low Calorie Dieting Plan either. In fact, eating low calories is the worst thing that you can do to your body, since that will only slow down your body’s fat burning engine and ruin all chances of losing weight (low calorie diets may allow a few pounds of weight loss for the first few days, but then after that all weight loss comes to a halt — known as a dieting plateau). You can never get slim by starving yourself.

Low Carb Plans DON’T WORK.

You’ll probably find it extremely difficult to get slim using a Low Carb Dieting Plan. Low carb diets have recently become popular over the last couple years, but the problem with low carb menus is that they are too strict and TOO HARD TO FOLLOW for average people. Low carb menus tend to rob your body of too much energy (carbohydrates) and make it nearly impossible to remain on the program for very long. This is why so many dieters find it difficult to follow a strict low carbohydrate menu.

What about Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig Dieting Plans?

Weight loss programs such as Weight Watchers (and Jenny Craig) usually involve slower dieting progress over a longer period of time, since such programs generally promise only 2-3 pounds of weight loss per week. Also, programs such as Jenny Craig usually involve buying special meals and/or dietary supplements during the initial phases of the program. While some people may like these types of dietary programs, we prefer a dieting plan which focuses on faster weight loss, such as the Accelerated Fat Burning Program
