For a woman, a deficit of 3500 calorie corresponds to one kilo of body weight lost. When your body is in a caloric deficit, it gets the required energy from stored fats.
How do you get a deficit of calories? By ending the day with less than 2000 calories.
So if you want to lose 4 KG ( 8 pounds) in 28 days, you have to drop 500 calories per day from your average 2000 calories intake.
Now the trick is in dropping these 500 calories per day without robbing your body of essential nutrients. That's where this meal plan comes in! I've done all the hard work, so that you eat the right foods, in the right quantity, every day. Zero fuss, lots of yum.
I am Marta Napoleoni, a registered pharmacist and nutritional consultant. I am the recipe developer and nutritionist behind foodaciously.com, where I share with you hundreds of diet-friendly and allergen-free recipes.
Thanks to my background, I know what a healthy body needs, both from a medicinal perspective, as well as from dieting. I complement my in-depth understanding of biochemistry with knowledge of the healing properties of wholesome foods.
In this book, I leverage my experience to make a meal plan that follows the science and delivers results. Just like on our website, I use data and science to explain in an easy way why a certain recipe or food is good for you. This way, you feed the body as well as the mind!
This meal plan comes with a cute calendar and easy to follow, mouth-watering recipes. Hurray! But I didn't stop there. I had a different goal in mind: helping you today so that you can help yourself tomorrow.
So I filled this book with over 100 pages of nutritional advice, dieting tips and motivation, detailed nutritional breakdowns for each meal, and, of course, awesome recipes!
At the end of this scrumptious journey, you will be equipped with the foundational knowledge to make your own healthy meals. To help you further, we have built a free-to-use recipe search engine, that will help you find food according to your nutritional needs.
What I want is for you to reach your goal and to be happy about the results you achieved.
If you are not happy, we'll give you back your money. No questions asked. But I'm confident you will get results if you stick with this fun meal plan.
Reach out on support@foodaciously.com if you have any questions.
Note: This 1500 calories program is designed for adult women. If you are a man, you can follow the same plan and achieve similar results by bringing your daily calories to 2000. It's simple: just divide each ingredient amount used in the recipes by 3 and multiply it by 4.
