Fat Fighting Meals

Mix and match these low-cal, energizing options to create your own perfect meal plan that'll slim you down for summer

What's not to love about our easy-to-follow regimen? By letting you choose from 30 meals and 10 snacks that deliver a healthy 1,800 calories a day, you'll drop pounds fast, feel satisfied, and get to enjoy your favorite foods.

Every meal contains a fat-fighting dose of fiber (an average of 25 g a day), the nutrient that slims you down by filling you up. A recent University of Minnesota study found that people who ate the most vegetables, fruits, and other fiber-rich foods lost 2 to 3 pounds more per month than those on lower-fiber diets — that can add up to a whopping 30 pounds in a year.

The meals are also loaded with bone-building calcium (about 1,200 mg a day), which has been found to kick-start the body's fat-burning engines.

Here's how the plan works: Each day, choose a breakfast (400 calories each), lunch (550 calories), dinner (650 calories), and snack (200 calories). We've even taken into account that you don't always have time to cook (try a frozen entrée option). Combine the plan with your cardio routine, and then break out the slim-fit capris or skinny jeans: Your new body will be ready for them!
