Fact: losing weight is hard work.  It requires a plan, sacrifice and commitment.  It also requires a lot of help. That’s what today’s post is about: starter recipes and meal plans to help you stick to your weight-loss goals.

I’m not offering a 1200-calorie diet or lose 20 pounds in 7 days.  Those are unrealistic.  What I am offering are very good options to help you stay on track during your weight-loss journey.  What follows are the recipes that worked for me.

Before I start, I have a few important tips to share.  

First, keep a half-cup and quarter-cup measuring scoops at the ready at all times.  They will help you measure all of your portions.  Second, get rid of your dinner plates and eat all of your meals from your salad plates.  This is about re-learning portion control.

Note: I am not affiliated with any of the brands listed below.
