The Best Weight Loss Diet Plan for Women

My friend .

Welcome .

My name is Dr Anthony Baldo .

I'm the founder here at the Fit Mother Project .

And I'm so excited for today's video because we are going to deep dive into the best weight loss diet plan for women for you as a busy mom , a working mom , if you're a woman out there who wants to lose weight and you've been frustrated with restrictive diets , you want to figure out exactly what to eat and when this video is for you , in fact , we're here in the kitchen , we're going to cover all of the best weight loss foods .

I'm going to show you some exact meals and I'm going to give you a free Fit mom , Jump start series that's going to give you a downloadable diet plan that you can follow this week .

All that's in this video and fair warning .

This video is more in depth than some of these top five quick tips bs videos and stuff you see online because quite frankly little tips like don't eat sugar , stop doing this .

Like those don't work .

You really are here for the specific solution .

So my promise is when you stick with me in this video and you watch it all the way through .

You're gonna have actionable ideas this week on meals to make foods , to buy how to make this stuff simple , sustainable and affordable for you for you and your family .

Now you're going to learn a ton , get out your pen and paper , take some notes and let's dive on in .

Ok .

So get into this video on the best weight loss diet and diet plan for women .

Uh What we need to do is really start to talk about a couple of things .

One , the foods which food you should be eating .

We're also gonna talk , talk about number two when you should be eating these foods .

And number three , what are the rules that we should follow so we can control our calories .

So the first thing before we get into all that , I need to say this as the foundational guiding principle of this entire video .

If your weight loss diet plan is not simple and sustainable , it's not an option for you .

There are so many ways you can lose weight , you can basically eat no calories .

Go on a fasting , cut out all carbs and you will drop weight .

But will you keep that weight off ?

And are you building the habits along the way that's going to help you stay on a sustainable path ?

That's what we're going to give you in this video .

And quite frankly , we do not like restricted diets .

Of the Fit Mother Project and our other brand , the Fit Father Project , all the amazing case studies .

And before and after , as you see here on this video were created by women who are eating some carbs that they enjoy .

They're having balanced healthy meals and they're enjoying their life while losing weight .

We believe that's really important .

So to get into the beginning of this video , what I want to talk about is to help you think about food in four main categories , proteins , healthy , carbs , healthy fats and veggies .

And these are the four categories of foods that we need to figure out .

What are your main foods in each of these categories ?

And how do we start to combine these to perfect weight loss meals ?

So let's look at proteins .

I have a variety of different protein sources here on the right here .

I have things like grass fed ground beef .

I have things like tinned sardines as some of the meals .

I'm going to show you .

We have vegetarian options .

We have a chickpea based burger here we have pasture raised eggs .

We have some plant based protein , powder , nuts and seeds .

So there's lots of good options on the proteins .

And I want you to think right now of this list of protein that we have here on the right of the screen .

What are some of your go to proteins ?

I want you to identify these proteins that you love because what we're going to do in the next steps in this video is we're going to prepare these things in bulk , so you have them throughout the week .

So what are your go to proteins ?

The next category we need to define is what are your go to carbs when it comes to weight loss ?

Carbs are not the enemy , the wrong kinds of carbs crap , sugars , processed carbs are not good for you .

We want to cut those out , but that does not mean you have to remove carbs entirely from your diet .

You can lose weight while still eating carbs .

So we have some great options here .

Right .

We have sweet potatoes .

We have some organic strawberries .

I've made some brown rice in bulk .

We have different nuts seeds .

We have bread , a sprouted Ezekiel bread .

It's organic , it's amazing .

It can totally work in your diet .

In fact , we have women in our fit mother 30 X program who eat sandwiches every day and still lose over £50 and get in the best shape of their life in their thirties , forties , fifties , sixties , carbs can stay in your plan and we're going to explain the portion rules in just a bit .

But what are some of your go to carbs that you love again ?

Here's the list on the size this video to get your mind jogging on some options between whether they're fruits , different kinds of sprouted grains .

You know , things you're going to cook in bulk for you and your family .

Here are some great options .

We also want to define what our healthy fats are and healthy fats are amazing because they keep us full .

They reduce inflammation and they help our bodies burn fat in some cases .

Now , I have a couple of healthy fat sources here .

I really love nuts and seeds .

So I have some nuts and seeds here .

Extra virgin olive oil , avocados over here , even some of the healthy fats and pasture raised eggs .

And once you start thinking about what are your three go to healthy fats ?

What are healthy fats you really enjoy ?

Is it cooking with some olive oil ?

Is it the avocado ?

Is it macadamia nuts or almonds ?

These are really things we need to really get defined and clear on .

And then the final category are veggies .

What are some green veggies that you absolutely love for me ?

Broccoli ?

I love other kinds of things like zucchinis .

I love my avocado .

I love spring mix and salad mix .

I love sauteing some kale and Swiss chard .

We need to define what your three go to veggies are .

And again , here are some options on the side side of some of the best healthiest foods .

And I hope you're really going through this video and writing these things down because that's going to make this very actionable because the next step is defining how do we create a meal that is perfectly portioned for weight loss because ultimately , weight loss as a byproduct needs to have you burning more calories than you're consuming every day .

That means we're getting your body more active and we're scaling back on the amount of food you're eating and we're increasing the quality of the food that you're eating .

And so you go out there and certainly count calories .

But we've found a way that's a lot more simple .

It's called building what we call perfect plates .

And here's a picture of what a perfect plate looks like .

And it's very simple .

Half of your plate is filled with any of those .

Go to veggies .

You love a quarter is filled with some of your go to proteins .

A quarter of some healthy carbs and you have some healthy fats sprinkled on in there .

This is the perfect plate framework and is foundational .

If you make plates 2 to 3 times per day that look like this , you will start losing weight , period because you're getting the fiber , the healthy proteins , the carbs , it's portion controlled and you don't need to count the calories .

We have built thousands and I literally mean thousands of different kinds of perfect plates over at the Fit Mother Project and Fit Father Project .

Most perfect plates have anywhere from 350 to at most around 600 calories .

So let's say you're an average woman out there looking to lose weight .

You might want to be on a target of eating somewhere around 2000 to 2500 calories per day .

If you have three perfect plates per day and they're each 600 calories , you're already under the 2000 calories per day mark , you're going to be losing weight .

So I just want to show you that , that this perfect plate strategy is a way that you can lose weight without actually counting the calories because you're eating high quality , go to foods in the right portions .

In fact , here are two perfect plates .

I prepared one that this first one is an Omnivore perfect plate .

So it's not strictly vegetarian , but here we got a bunch of greens .

I got some zucchini .

I got some avocado and I have a mix here with some healthy fats .

We have some olive oil mixed in with the black beans and obviously we have a pasture raised organic chicken breast .

So this is simple , right ?

I baked a bunch of chicken in bulk .

I took some salsa , some olive oil and a little bit of the black beans .

And I mixed that in .

I cut up an avocado and I had some zucchini on the side .

So this , it's our perfect plate meal .

And this took me literally after I prepared it .

And I'll explain a little bit about meal prepping the end of this video like two minutes to slap together .

And it's a great meal at the same time .

If you're not eating animal protein in your diet right now , this is a vegetarian perfect plate .

It has a bunch of spring mix with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil .

We have a chickpea based burger .

We have a little bit of black rice and a bunch of hummus for some healthy fats .

Another perfect plate , right .

We got the protein , the carbs , the veggies and we're spicing it up with the healthy fats from the hummus .

So these can be simple .

It doesn't need to be some elaborate thing .

In fact , some of your go to proteins , if you're like , man , you know , I'm on the go all the time .

I'm working , I'm busy .

You can get a tin of sardines or a tin of wild canned salmon and you could put that on the side with some nuts and seeds or a salad .

These perfect plates are very easy to make and they're the foundation .

So that almost begs the question .

Right .

Once we know what our go to foods are , once we know how to build perfect plates , when should I be eating food ?

And what's your meal timing schedule ?

And not enough people talk about this .

There are so many different kinds of meal timing schedules that work .

I'm gonna give you two examples as like the prime , main ones that we see women be successful on .

But main thing is we're going through these two schedule set ups is which one do you think is going to work best for you ?

We want to find a meal timing schedule set up that fits your life .

So , if you're a person who loves breakfast , you should probably be having a meal timing set up schedule .

That includes some kind of breakfast .

If you're not hungry in the morning , you can do something like intermittent fasting that we're going to show you .

So the first meal timing set up schedule that works really well for a lot of women , we call it the four by four meal plan .

And what that means is you're going to be making a perfect plate roughly every four hours .

So that's four meals per day every four hours .

So breakfast perfect plate sometime around eight lunch at noon , a mini meal snack around three and then another perfect plate for dinner around seven or eight .

So again , eight noon , 37 38 .

So it's not perfectly four hours .

But you get the idea this works really well because each perfect plate keeps you full , gives your body the nutrients it needs super enjoyable and you don't need to be packing six small meals per day and lugging around coolers and gallons of water to like some body builders do to lose weight .

It's totally not necessary .

So this is a really good meal timing schedule and maybe it'll work for you .

What we like to do in the morning for women who are super busy and on the go is make that first perfect plate a shake .

Actually , you don't even need to make anything in the morning .

You throw some quality protein powder with some chia seeds , some hemp seeds , some organic almond milk in here and you can make a shake .

That's amazing .

That's only gonna be about 350 calories help your body burn fat , keep you full until lunch and it takes like 10 minutes to make .

So if you're a woman on the go , we highly recommend this .

And inside our free three day fit mom weight loss Jumpstart series that's linked below , we give you the actual shake recipes and all the recipes for these perfect plates that we have here in this video .

So those are available for you .

We'll send that straight to your email links are below .

So the first meal timing set up , we have four by four .

If you are not a breakfast person or you enjoy in a minute , fastening , it's another great way to do it .

What we're basically going to do is just remove that first meal , skip it , skip that breakfast , skip that shake .

We're going to start our first meal at around noon .

Then we're going to have snack around 3 30 we're going to have dinner around seven or eight and that is also very beneficial and effective for loss .

So , to recap what we covered so far in step number one , we defined your go to healthy foods that you love in the categories of proteins , healthy carbs , healthy fats and veggies .

And then in step number two , we looked at the perfect plate structure , which is a simple way to control your portions and calories by doing half of your plate is veggies .

A quarter protein , a quarter , healthy carbs and the fats are sprinkled in .

And then step number three , we looked at your meal timing set up and we're really going to look at whether you're going to be more of a four by four type of schedule person and more intermittent fasting .

Now , we're going to get into some of the more nuanced finer topics because that stuff is the foundation of the best weight loss diet plan for women .

We also need to talk about hydration because yes , foods and timing is important .

We've got to make sure that we're getting the right fluids in your body that are keeping you energized , helping all those metabolic processes .

Water and hydration is super important .

So the first thing we need to do is define what your water intake is .

And so what we like to do women here at the Fit Mother Project is we take your body weight in pounds and we divide that by two and then we add 32 to that number .

So let's say you're £200 we divide that by two , that's 100 then we add 32 that's 132 .

That's the number of ounces of water .

And it's slightly over a gallon for a £200 woman .

And this is a lot of water .

And when we're trying to lose weight , we want to intentionally drink more water than we even think we need .

Why ?

First off water helps us stay full when our stomach has water in it , we don't , we're not as hungry all the time .

The worst thing that can happen when you're on a diet is you're starving and then you have cravings and you're going to fall off track .

That's not what we want .

So , water helps with that .

But water also just helps you feel energetic .

A lot of women who experience headaches and energy dips are actually just dehydrated during the day .

So we're going to fix that .

And the first thing we're gonna do on one amazing weight loss and health habit is first thing in the morning when you wake up , we're going to get you around 20 to 32 ounces of water .

So I like to get a nice a jar like this and get around a pinch of some pink Himalayan sea salt .

And I want you to drink around 20 to 32 ounces of water .

First thing in the morning because you've been dehydrated while you're sleeping throughout the night and your body needs the water to kick start everything and why the salt we're supposed to avoid salt .

Right ?

Well , actually , no , with pink Himalayan sea salt , it has around 80 three different trace minerals that our bodies need that we do not get from food .

So this is a rehydration bomb .

First thing in the morning that gets everything going and just doing this habit alone is going to give you more energy in the morning .

Your body is just going to feel better get water .

First thing you can still have your coffee if you're a coffee type of person , but get the water in first slam it , first thing in the morning , really , really great habit .

And then we're going to want to drink water throughout the day .

And practically speaking , you're busy .

I'm busy .

We know that oftentimes we just forget to drink water because we're going throughout our days doing stuff .

The best tip is to get some kind of water bottle .

So I obviously brought a lot of these out for the purpose of this video , but get a high quality water bottle that is not made of plastic .

So all of these are safe .

They don't have any of the BP and the hormone disrupts get a high quality bottle .

Even a mason jar works ideally 32 ounces .

And I want you to know how many of these you need to drink per day .

So for most women , it's probably 3 to 4 of these minimum , probably maybe even 4 to 5 if you're looking to lose weight .

So you get your first one in the morning and then between your first between breakfast and lunch , you eat , you drink your next one between lunch and your snack , noon snack , you drink the next one and right up to dinner , you drink your next one .

So that's how you're gonna hit your water intake .

I promise you this from helping thousands of women lose weight .

If you do not have a water bottle , you carry with you at all times , you're gonna forget , you're just not gonna drink enough water .

So another little pro tip enhancer is if you can actually brew some tea in the morning .

So I brew some organic green tea .

Here is great for fat loss .

It has a light amount of caffeine that keeps you energized , helps your metabolism .

You can brew a whole batch of green tea in the morning and drink it throughout the day .

It's an amazing weight loss habit .

What you don't want to do is drink pretty much anything other than water , tea and coffee .

We call it WTC .

Those are your drinks if you're doing juices or you know , Starbucks and stuff like that , there is so much hidden sugar in this .

In fact , I like to show this image here .

These are some of the of sugar in different Starbucks drinks that women just do not realize .

And they actually put this on a doughnut rating scale to show you how many doughnuts of sugar each of these drinks is equivalent .

It's absolutely crazy .

You almost be better off drinking a coke than having any of these , you know , really festive drinks .

So we want to get you water , coffee , black coffee and tea throughout the day , hit your water target .

That's going to really help with your weight loss and help you feel amazing .

And on that note , we also need to talk about sleep .

We can't really talk about a weight loss diet plan if your body's not sleeping well .

And what this means is I need you to make sure that you're having at least seven quality hours of sleep per night .

And I know that's challenging .

And if you feel like sleep is a weak area for you , one of the best things you can do in addition to cleaning up your nutrition , your hydration is getting your sleep on point because here's what happens with the research .

If you're in a sleep deprived state , when you're trying to lose weight , your body loses muscle and not fat and it's actually more resistant to losing fat .

So you're really just pushing a ball uphill and your efforts are really not that effective if your body is in a sleep deprived state .

So let's get you sleeping better .

That's one of the best things you can do for weight loss and all the women that join us in our fit mom jump start and eventually in our fit mother 30 X program , we get you sleeping right from day one and that skyrockets your energy .

So you have energy to exercise and it gets your metabolism functioning better .

So the carbs you do eat , don't just get stored as fat .

What happens is when we're sleep deprived , our body gets insulin resistant .

And so when we do eat carbohydrates , insulin is floating around a lot longer than it should and our body stops burning fat .

So this is the worst case scenario .

We want to be insulin sensitive and sleep is essential for that .

Now , other things when it comes to the best weight loss diet plan , because I know we're getting into some of the finer nuances here and you have the foundations and again , in that free of mom jumpstart , we go deeper into this .

We need to talk about how important the right kinds of supplements are for you as a woman in losing weight and believe it or not , the best supplements for weight loss are not ones that are actually marketed as weight loss supplements , not like the fat burner , thermo burner 9000 and all that crap .

What really does work when it comes to weight loss supplements for women is number one , a quality probiotic supplement .

The research on probiotics uses the good gut bacteria is profound as it relates to weight loss .

In fact , when we get people who are overweight to get the right kinds of gut bacteria and probiotics into their bodies , they almost start losing weight automatically .

You can actually do what's called a fecal transplant warning .

This is a little gross but they take poop from lean people and they trans they actually put the poop into the colon of overweight people .

Those overweight people start losing weight automatically .

The gut bacteria is so important for helping us metabolize our foods .

Our immune system is centralized in our gut .

All the neurotransmitters , we produce a lot of those are made in the gut .

So getting a quality probiotic , we throw some links below is part of our Fit Mother project core supplement stack for health and weight loss .

Vitamin D three is the second supplement amazingly effective for hormone regulation for your immune system .

And just for overall functioning , it is a core supplement .

Ideally getting some sun like too every day would be a good idea .

Some high quality fish oil and the other thing I would say is a turmeric or C supplement to reduce some inflammation .

This is the core supplement stack for women .

And then you can also include some green tea and stuff like that for fat loss .

So I hope you're beginning to see that when it comes to weight loss nutrition , the best weight loss diet plan for women .

A lot of this stuff is about habits and structures .

We need to get the right routines in place and we need to make sure you can stay consistent over the long term .

And we know that means you need to identify those healthy foods you love , you need to slot those in into perfect plates .

You need to have a meal timing schedule that's sustainable for you .

And then we'll throw on the supplements and the exercise and all the other stuff .

That's more icing on the cake .

Let's get the foundations and the basics first .

I hope you took away at least one or two good things from this video .
