72-Hour Slim Down Meal Plan

Forget the fad diets and crazy weight loss gimmicks! Shed pounds the fast–but healthy–way with this 72-hour slim down meal plan.

The key to a quick slim-down is not to skip meals. Instead, the path to success is filled with whole, nutrient-rich foods that nourish your body without adding excess fat, calories, sodium, or refined sugar.

As you work your way through this weight loss meal plan, hydrate with plenty of plain water. H2O acts as a natural detoxifier, helping to flush excess waste from the digestive tract to help reduce bloating and make you feel slimmer. Drink at least one full glass of water before each meal or snack, and drink frequently throughout the day.

It’s also essential to avoid overly processed foods, which often contain ingredients that lead to excess fat and bloating. Processed snacks can be a trouble spot for many women. Many of these foods seem healthy, but often they contain ingredients that won’t help you slim down quickly. During your 72-hour slim down menu, plan and pack whole food snacks in advance so you’re not tempted to reach for the processed kind when hunger strikes.
