How to Lose Weight by Reversing Meals

Losing weight by reversing meals is an eating philosophy where you eat typical dinner foods for breakfast, a healthy balanced meal for lunch and typical breakfast foods for dinner. The method behind this diet is to eat the majority of your calories in the morning to provide sufficient energy and nutrients throughout the day. Dinner should typically be a small meal.

Instructions

• 1

  Start your reverse meal weight loss plan with eating a balanced breakfast. A typical breakfast should consist of protein such as grilled chicken, vegetables such as steamed carrots and peas and complex carbohydrates such as a baked potato.

• 2

  Eat a reasonable lunch such as a medium sized salad and a 4-ounce piece of fish. Your lunch should be smaller than breakfast but more than what you will eat for dinner.

• 3

  Eat a light dinner such as a bowl of oatmeal, yogurt with fresh fruit or a bowl of cereal with fresh fruit. This meal is intended to be the lightest as you have used the majority of your energy throughout the day.

• 4

  Eat less processed and prepared food and meals. Processed and prepared meals tend to contain large amounts of sodium and chemical additives. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, fat-free dairy, fish and lean meat.

• 5

  Incorporate exercise into your daily routine. At least 30 minutes of moderately intense cardio exercise five days a week and 12 repetitions of 10 strength training exercises twice a week is recommended by the American College of Sports Medicine.
