Nutrition plan for weight loss

Get to your ideal weight healthily and sustainably with Upfit

Do you have those moments when you’re shopping, when you stand nervously in front of the shelf because you’ve already forgotten whether saturated or unsaturated fatty acids are better? Are you tired of picking out recipes every day only to discover that they contain something you don’t like? Or are you sick of starving yourself slim only to regain the weight and start the game all over again in a few months?

The solution? Lose weight with an Upfit nutrition plan (for women and men).

Each of us knows about countless diets and diet products – from friends, from advertising, and from the internet. Unfortunately, many of these diets are unscientific, ineffective, and unhealthy. What you will not find is a diet plan that works without a calorie deficit.

A calorie deficit means eating fewer calories — energy — than the body needs (By the way: you can see how many calories you need daily to lose weight healthily with our Calorie Calculator). Does this mean you should starve yourself to get skinny? No. You can lose weight without starving yourself. And although we recommend a healthy exercise program, you can actually lose weight without exercise.

You’d like to motivate yourself to begin reaching your goal? Suffer from joint pain or limited mobility? A healthy Nutrition Plan for Weight Loss can reduce these symptoms. Weight loss can also significantly reduce other symptoms such as tiredness, sluggishness, and depression.

You feel stuck and want to change your life? Weight loss is first and foremost a life quality improvement. Ever heard of someone who lost weight and then thought life was better when they were overweight? If you’re not satisfied with how you feel or what you see on the bathroom scale, then weight loss may be the game-changer you’ve looking to improve your health and happiness. You are only a small step away from making a change. Check out our BMI Calculator to determine your optimal weight.

By the way: Did you know, over 90% of the Upfit recipes can be prepared in under 20 minutes?

When it comes to healthy weight loss, most people lose patience quickly. Often, we hear sentences like “I’ve been doing this for a week and nothing has happened!”. People who think they aren’t seeing results quickly enough often let their discipline go down the drain.

Let’s put the whole thing in perspective: How did you get overweight in the first place? Probably not overnight. Often, weight gain happens gradually over time, as the result of poor diet and lifestyle choices.

Your body isn’t a Transformer that can change its shape instantaneously. Change takes time. Many people put their faith in quick-fix fad diets instead of making long-term changes to their eating and exercise habits. That being said, if you consistently follow the Upfit Nutrition Plan for Weight Loss for just one month, you will lose weight. And if you are disciplined from day one, and stick 100% to the guidelines, you will lose weight much faster.

How much weight you lose, and how quickly you lose it, depends on several different factors. The heavier you are when you start dieting, the faster you’ll lose weight. And if you’re ready to cheat and follow an intensive Workout Plan, you’ll lose weight even faster. However, how long you have been overweight can play a role. The longer you’ve been carrying extra weight, the more time you should allow for your body to lose it.

Crash diets are rarely successful and even less sustainable. Your body perceives a crash diet as an attack on your health and quickly adjusts your metabolism to get back the lost weight. Upfit diets work differently. With the Upfit Nutrition Plan for Weight Loss, you can realistically lose about 1 kilogram per week. Don’t get discouraged if you lose less than 1 kilogram per week. Even with smaller loses, after 3 months, you will have lost a lot of weight. You also lose the weight healthily, without ever feeling hungry – this is very motivating as you continue on your way to success.

Don’t have time to cook? No problem. Your Upfit Nutrition Plan not only adapts to your diet preferences, such as vegan and paleo, but also adjusts to your schedule and lifestyle. So how about the Weight Loss Plan with just 15 minutes of cooking per day? Excuses were yesterday, your future starts today.

If you have the time and motivation to begin working on your weight loss goals then these tips and tricks will help. With these tricks, nothing stands in your way to reaching your goal weight.

• Avoid unhealthily snacking: Unhealthy snacking, particularly on sugary snacks and drinks, leaves you unsatisfied and leads to more cravings and extra calories. If you get cravings between meals, try snacking on veggies sticks or fruit.
• Keep your eye on the prize: post motivating notes and photos around your home and office. This way, when you’re tempted to snack you’re reminded of your goal and encouraged on your way to success.
• Shopping behavior: Limit your grocery purchases to what’s on your Upfit Shopping List. That way, you avoid the unhealthy shelves in the supermarket and won’t grab additional snacks. And stay away from the snack table in the office and the cafeteria. Out of sight out of mind.
• When you snack, do it right: Our brain is programmed to favor high-calorie foods, particularly sweet and fatty foods such as chocolate bars, pies, cakes, ect. In times of chronic food shortages, it was an advantage to get so much energy into our bodies at once. Today, however, it’s like a curse, as these foods are always available and our brains have not yet developed a defense mechanism against the addictive effects. Snacking is not taboo. However, you should burn more calories every day than you eat, because only then will you lose weight.
• Additional fat burning with exercise: Exercise helps you burn more energy. But you should not reward yourself with the wrong treats otherwise the positive effects of exercise evaporate. If you’d like to succeed, be consistent and don’t sabotage your success by eating the wrong snacks.

By the way: with Upfit it’s no problem if you like to snack. State your snacking preferences in our questionnaire and you’ll get healthy snacks in your Nutrition Plan that fit perfectly with you, your body, and lifestyle.

We’ve already described in detail the benefits of losing weight with a Nutrition Plan. Losing weight is very easy with Upfit – we create your Nutrition Plan according to your body data, as well as your lifestyle(e.g. snacking preferences, favorite cooking times). If you follow your Upfit Nutrition Plan for Weight Loss consistently, nothing will stand in your way to shedding those pesky pounds and reaching your desired weight.

Many little things can help you develop discipline with your Nutrition Plan and make losing weight even easier. Below are the most common calorie-trap foods, as well as healthy, lower-calorie alternatives.

When losing weight, it is helpful to have an orderly daily routine. As already mentioned, stress and, above all, time pressure can affect your willpower and motivation.

Organize well. A simple trick: Plan your daily routine by writing a list on paper or in your cell phone.

Sleep is a highly underrated factor for healthy weight loss. Sleeping at least seven hours improves your willpower, blood sugar, and energy level greatly.

Get to bed earlier and you will feel the improvement to your mood and health – really good sleep, by the way, means you fall asleep within five minutes and don’t wake up until the next morning.

If you have trouble falling asleep, try actively relaxing, taking magnesium, and switching off all your screens (computer, cell phone, television) one hour before sleeping. These are three simple, proven ways to fall asleep faster.

As already described, it is also possible with the Upfit Plan to lose weight without working out. However, if you do work out, you will lose weight faster.

Workout experience can be helpful. If you already work out regularly then you know the effort it requires, and the good feeling and endorphins that follow. It will be easier for you to work out and thus burn extra calories and speed up your healthy weight loss. For all others: suffer the pain of discipline – or suffer the pain of regret.

With exercise, your primary concern is to burn calories: Try trading extended low-intensity exercise (like long-distance runs or power walking) for short intense workouts. Interval runs, Tabata, HIIT training, and strength training burn more calories and fat – in less time – than low-intensity exercise.

“Afterburn” is caused by the calorie deficit generated during intense exercise, when fat cells are mobilized and fed to the energy cycle. Afterburn is an effect that extended low-intensity exercise cannot provide. The long-lasting stress of low-intensity exercise can even make you gain weight by sending signals to your body to create reserves.

If you’d like to lose weight faster, then work out intensively 2-3 times a week for about half an hour. This gives you the ideal support for your Upfit Nutrition Plan for Weight Loss.

You’ve read it in other weight loss guides and articles: Sugar is poison for losing weight. Sugar has a bad effect on your insulin management and blood sugar, causes hunger attacks, and becomes fat in the body.

Yes, you are reading this correctly: Sugar is more likely to be stored as fat in your body than fat itself. The classic table sugar (sucrose) is a double sugar, consisting of one-part glucose and one-part fructose. Sugar has many names, but important to understand here is: sugar is a carbohydrate. And although long-chain carbohydrates (like potato starch) are far less bad for your metabolism than short-chain carbohydrates (like sugar), in general, it makes sense to reduce all carbohydrates in your diet for healthy weight loss.

Many diets are based on unscientific, unhealthy strategies that are not very successful. For example, reducing fats doesn’t make much sense for losing weight, because your body needs fat to make hormones and neurotransmitters, transport vitamins, and also keep your body burning fat! The important thing is to eat healthy fats. Fried fats, called trans fats, belong to the unhealthy variety and should be avoided. Hardened fats (which are common in processed foods) are bad for your body. Among other things, they promote fat deposits in organs and blood vessels.

The best healthy fats come from cold-pressed oils, nuts, avocados, and eggs. Wait, eggs? Aren’t eggs bad for my cholesterol level? No, because your body regulates its cholesterol internally. The cholesterol contained in eggs does not affect cholesterol levels. But eggs contain tons of good proteins, vitamins, minerals, and fats – they are a nutritional powerhouse! What you should omit from your diet is foods like bacon. Bacon contains trans fats, which raise your LDL cholesterol – not a good idea! Good fats, on the other hand, ensure a stable blood sugar level and prevent, among other things, food cravings.

Overall, protein has the biggest positive effect on weight without hunger. If you have a high protein content in the diet, you’ll be less hungry, have fewer food cravings, and maintain your muscle mass while shedding pounds. Also, according to studies, it is much easier to maintain a diet Plan for Weight Loss in the long-run if you eat fewer carbohydrates and more protein.

These little helpers can accelerate weight loss simply and effectively. You don’t have to rely on any unnatural weight loss supplements: because Mother Nature has already given weight-loss-promoting powers to these whole foods.

Successful weight loss is not a mystery, it’s simple math with a few clear rules. The previous texts have given you a good overview of what to look out for if you want to lose weight healthily. Here are the most important influencing factors summarized as Do’s & Don’ts:

You finally made it. You reached your desired weight, and suddenly a new opponent appears on the horizon: the yo-yo! Unfortunately, many people lose weight and gain it right back. Why is that exactly?

The yo-yo effect is a common consequence of crash diets. It is especially likely to happen after a radical starvation diet. As described above, your body perceives rapid weight loss as a threat and adjusts its metabolic and activity levels to regain the weight.

Or you finally reach your goal weight and indulge in a victorious winner’s meal, then a victory celebration with a few drinks, then take a one week break from strenuous exercise, because you deserve it… the list goes on. The sad truth is that after dieting, many of us return to the bad eating habits and ways of life that got us overweight in the first place.

At the same time, your weight reduction reduces your energy consumption and reduces your metabolism for a while. This means that the effects of bad eating habits will double. However, you can avoid the yo-yo effect altogether if you maintain your discipline, routine, and follow your Nutrition Plan after reaching your goal weight.
