Here is my sample vegan meal plan for weight loss! In my practice, I believe that it is ok for clients to want weight loss, and to work toward it in the contex...t of pursuing other goals like reducing blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, improving energy levels, to move more freely, to improve iron levels and the nutrient content of their diet. There are a few things I’ve found over the years that work well for weight loss while eating plant-based. 1. Consume half your food as fruits and vegetables 2. Eat within 12 hours or less each day 3. Don’t snack in the evening after supper 4. Eat most whole foods and minimize ultra processed foods 5. Be aware of portion sizes and frequency of eating. Be mindful of your hunger and fullness cues. Follow this advice most of the time! Some flexibility is just fine. Be gentle with yourself. It’s ok to enjoy eating later with friends at a party sometimes (for example). But being consistent most of the time will bring the best results. Here is a sample vegan weight loss meal plan. Breakfast Tropical green smoothie Smoothie made with 1/2 ripe banana, 1 cup fortified plant-based milk, 1/2 cup frozen mango, 2 handfuls baby kale, heaped tsp almond or peanut butter, 1 tbsp hemp hearts. Blend on high until smooth. Snack 2 squares dark chocolate and one medjool date stuffed with a Brazil nut (magnesium and selenium packed snack that tastes like a chocolate caramel!) Lunch Minestrone soup with 1/2 whole wheat bagel topped with 1/2 cup @itdoesnttastelikechicken chickpea salad Snack Apple or orange Dinner 1/2 cup rice with 1- 1.5 cups of @drpamela.rd Butter chickpeas, but replace half of the chickpeas in the original recipe with cauliflower. Serve with broccoli roasted or air fried in 1 tsp of oil and seasoned with a sprinkle of salt and nutritional yeast. Dessert 1/2 cup Fresh or frozen berries with 1/2 tsp sugar (optional) and a drizzle of 1 tbsp of coconut cream. Please note that these portions are a guide only and people who are very active will need to eat larger portions to meet their needs. Send me a DM if you have questions about your own nutrient needs.
