A good nutrition is essential for a healthy lifestyle. Eating healthy meals and doing simple physical exercises can help you reach and maintain a healthy weight. Take time to exercise your body for your overall  health as you focus on improving your diet plan.

However, combining exercise with a poor diet plan can derail the whole process of weight loss. Here is what you can adjust in your diet for an effective weight loss and stay healthy.

Observe what you take for breakfast. Leave the obvious milk-tea, bread and butter and switch to a hot whole-grain cereal and fresh fruit. This can be ideal since the combination has fewer calories. If you may need tea, use soy-milk or non-fat-milk and sugar substitutes instead.

You may feel hungry by mid morning and thus snacks can do better. They are vital for balancing energy levels. Try an avocado toast or tortilla with fresh vegetables but in small amounts.

In your lunch box, make a mix of lean proteins and starchy carbs as you avoid high calorie additions. If you go for salads, break out of the lettuce and tomato box and try new ones. Try diced sweet potatoes, cucumbers, red cabbage, red onions, green pepper and more. A banana, apple or orange to crown your lunch box is essential.

To make a healthy dinner, try baked potatoes as they are a great food for weight loss. What makes potatoes unfit for weight loss is what we put on top of them. Avoid cheese and butter on potatoes in a weight loss diet plan. Another choice for dinner can be a veggie burger on a whole-wheat bun, brown rice flavored with freshly minced garlic and spinach salad.

As much as you can, try to minimize the amounts of calories you take.
