Need a plan to lose weight? The "Apple and Eggs" diet is not a fad or a gimmick, but a healthy way to start your day!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1 small apple
  • 2 large eggs
  • pot or pan
  1. Step 1
    One 3 - 5 pound bag of your favorite apples
     
    One 3 - 5 pound bag of your favorite apples

    Buy a 3 - 5 pound bag of apples. Bagged apples are usually small to medium in size. That will give you about 70 calories, and some fiber without too many carbohydrates.

  2. Step 2
    2 large eggs
     
    2 large eggs

    Boil or cook 2 whole eggs (use a low calorie light spray or coat a frying pan VERY lightly with oil). Eggs will provide you with a nice dose of protein, which will rev up your metabolism. The yolks will also provide vitamins, minerals, and fat (which will sustain your hunger until lunch).

  3. Step 3

    That's your breakfast. Now, the rest is up to you, but it's easy.

  4. Step 4

    For lunch and dinner, focus on lean protein. Load up on vegetables. Raw vegetables are great, and non-starchy cooked vegetables like green beans, broccoli, cauliflower are great.

Tips & Warnings
  • Starchy vegetables are good also, but have higher carbohydrate content. However, green peas are not very calorie dense. Most frozen vegetables are convenient and can be eaten, just be careful of carbohydrate content if you are trying to lose weight.
  • Other beans, legumes, and whole grains are healthy, once again, just watch your carbohydrate intake.
  • Drink lots of water to maintain proper hydration
