Breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day - no that wasn’t just a myth your mum used to get you to eat that porridge. Breakfast kickstarts your metabolism, fills up your tummy and helps prevent your mid-morning chocolate cravings when you get to work! Obviously you’re not going to get any benefit from cramming bacon and buttered toast down your throat (sorry to disappoint you) but making great, healthy breakfast recipes for weight loss will get you the best possible start to the day!
Egg White Omelettes are a yummy breakfast idea, follow this recipe and you’ll feel great straight out of bed in the morning - well as good as you can before going to work!!!
Egg White Omelette Recipe
Ingredients
4 Egg Whites
Brown Onion
1/2 Tomato
1/4 Courgette
Salt and Pepper
Method
Crack 4 egg whites into a mixing bowl. Do this by making a small crack in the egg shell and let the egg white drain out without letting the yolk slip through - its surprisingly easy. Chop onion, tomato and courgette and mix with the egg whites. Add 1 tsp of olive oil to the frying pan and pour in the mixture. Flip as required and serve with salt and pepper.

Weight loss recipes make your weight loss journey a whole lot easier. Delicious weight loss food ideas can make your diet much easier to follow because you won’t get bored and fall back to your old eating habits.
If you are anything like me you will loooooveee a good Caesar Salad… However when it comes to weight loss that oily bread and fatty dressing is a NO-GO ZONE!
I found this great healthy Caesar Salad recipe and changed a few things around so that it suits those on a weight loss diet. Give it a go and let me know if it is a hit
Caesar Salad with a Healthy Twist
Recipe Serves 2
Lettuce
4 Cherry Tomatoes sliced in half
½ a sliced Cucumber
2 Soft Boiled Eggs
4 Slices Low Fat Cheese
2 Rashers Bacon Sliced Thinly
A small portion of Turkish bread cut into small pieces
Team members here at The Ultimate Weight Loss Secret have found Proactol to be a very effective and safe supplement to lose some serious pounds. Click HERE to read about what the UWLS team has to say about Proactol.
Caesar Dressing:
1 tablespoon of chopped parsley

Divide salad ingredients into two bowls placing the lettuce on the bottom and layering the rest on top. Grill the Turkish bread and bacon in the oven and spread over the salad.

Everyone’s heard of the soup diet, the grapefruit diet, the high carb diet, the low carb diet the list goes on and on. Another that you’ve undoubtedly heard of in the past - the cabbage soup diet.
While some users have claimed quick weight loss results using the cabbage soup weight loss recipe it is NOT a long term solution to your weight problem - far from it in fact!
The Cabbage Soup Diet
The cabbage soup weight loss recipe is part of a low-calorie diet that you will eat for 7 days.
Some people have tried this method and they claim that you can lose up to 10 pounds of weight in a week.
However it does not encourage a change in your eating habits making it more likely than not that you will put the pounds you lose back on as soon as you finish the 1 week cycle.
Benefits
The cabbage soup weight loss diet is a quick fix option, generally used by people with an upcoming event such as a wedding or other celebration.
The majority of the weight loss you will experience is just water weight - but people do report losing weight during the week program.
It is a cheap and relatively simple option HOWEVER I must stress that it is only a SHORT term solution to your weight loss.
The maximum length of time you can be on the diet is 7 day, after that you’re eating habits will most likely return to normal and the weight will creep back on.
AND even more so after eating just CABBAGE for a week you’ll probably be inclined to binge - I know I’d be tempted!
What the experts are saying
According to nutritional and dietary experts, you can lose your water weight with the cabbage soup weight loss recipe but not fat.
Furthermore, even though cabbage is healthy, it still lacks some important vitamins and minerals your body needs to function so it is important that you also take in other nutritious foods like fruits, other vegetables and healthy meats.
An example of the Cabbage Soup Weight Loss Diet
Day 1: Eat your cabbage soup with all the fruit you want, except for bananas. You may only drink cranberry juice, unsweetened teas, or water.
Day 2: Eat other vegetables with your cabbage soup that are either raw or cooked. You can eat as much as you want but pile up on green, leafy ones and stay away from beans, corn, and peas.
Day 3: Combine all the food you are going to eat on days 1 and two.
Day 4: Include skimmed milk and 8 bananas while eating your cabbage soup. Drink as much milk as you can.
Day 5: Start including up to 6 fresh tomatoes and 10 to 20 ounces of beef to eat with your cabbage soup.
Furthermore, drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water to wash out the uric acid from your body. You can eat your soup at least once on day 5. If you don’t like beef, substitute baked or broiled skinless chicken or broiled fish.
Day 6: Eat as much beef and vegetables as you want with your soup.
Day 7: Start eating brown rice with your vegetables and cabbage soup while drinking unsweetened fruit juices.
Should you try it?
Well of course it is up to you BUT realistically this will only help you in the short term.
The 1 week long diet will rid you of water weight but thats about it.
AND the diet does nothing to change your approach to your weight, your mindset and your eating habits!
These factors are what really will solve your weight problem and help you keep the weight off for good!
