Healthy Lunch Recipes

There are actually 2 different versions of the yoplait diet.  But either one will help you loose weight and get healthy.  Yogurt is really healthy for you because it provides protein, healthy bacteria to improve your digestion, vitamin D and calcium.  It also comes in many sweet flavors so if you find your sweet tooth to be an issue when it comes to dieting, you are in luck with these two yoplait diet plans.

First, there is the 2 week plan where you eat yoplait for breakfast and lunch along with fruit and a grain, and a small dinner of vegetables and lean protein.  It also includes a snack of two servings of vegetables and 3 small servings of other low-fat dairy.  This is a low-calorie meal plan that claims you can loose up to 5 pounds in 2 weeks.  This really may work for people if you can follow the plan perfectly.  But for some the lower amount of calories, about 1200 to 1300 is too low and leads to binge eating.  You should try this plan to see if it works for you.  If you find you are still too hungry you may want to consider adding in another source of protein for lunch, like a few slices of natural deli meat.  Or a small side salad with nuts or a few ounces of grilled chicken breast.  This will provide you with extra calories and nutrients but will still limit your calorie intake so you can loose weight.  This plan also suggests you walk 30-45 minutes each day, no strenuous workouts required.

There is also a less involved plan for the yoplait diet that you may have heard of from their commercials.  It’s called the “Swap a Day Challenge”.  Yoplait has 33 different flavors of their yogurts, many are based our favorite special dessert treats that unfortunately are high in calories.  For example a slice of cheesecake is at least 300 calories, but yoplait light raspberry cheesecake is only 110 calories.  If you replace your nightly dessert or snack with a yoplait yogurt you will be saving at least 200 calories a day.  That can add up to over a 20 pound weight-loss in a year.  Just one small swap each day can help you loose that much weight.  It’s really amazing, and think about other swaps you could make like taking a walk during lunch to burn more calories.  Or switching your daily soda to water.  Simple things can make a huge impact on your health and life.

If you think you need to get healthier and loose weight you should look into starting a yolait diet.  Big changes can come in these small, yummy cups of yogurt.

There are many questions asked about the Yoplait diets, and there is much confusion as to whether the diet will work, is sustainable or is good for you. One of the questions generally raised are if it is possible to eat breakfast twice a day for two weeks without becoming bored or too hungry. Another question is whether the chemical additives to the Yoplait Light yoghurt are healthy. Let us take a look at the diet, and the concerns raised.

The Yoplait Diet

The Yoplait Diet requires the dieter to eat Yoplait Light yoghurt, 1 cereal or cereal bar and one fruit for breakfast and lunch each day for two weeks. A light and balance low-fat and low calorie dinner follows, while light snacking of foods like fresh raw vegetables is allowed mid afternoon. Calorie intake for the day should not exceed 1200 calories. The diet also recommends that the dieter gets 30 – 40 minutes of moderate exercise daily.

The Benefits

When following this diet, it is claimed you will lose up to 5lbs in a two week period, which is a jump start to a healthier lifestyle, or to lose a few extra pounds in time for a celebration or to get rid of after holiday excess weight. Many people have supported this claim, after trying the diet for the two week period.

The Concerns

Many people have raised concerns about the Yoplait diet

• Yoplait Light yoghurt contains many chemical additives, amongst others, aspartame and coloring. Using so much aspartame over a two week period is not deemed healthy by many professionals, claiming that health risks include headaches, blindness, depression, birth defects and more.

• Many people wonder if they would be able to keep on easting breakfast twice daily for two weeks, wondering if this is sustainable without becoming bored, and cheating on the diet.

Our Conclusion

The yoplait diet definitely has a balanced meal plan, containing all the essential nutrients needed for each day. The diet does recommend exercise, and this is a very important part of staying healthy while losing weight. It is of concern that the Yoplait yoghurt does include so much aspartame, but because the diet is only to be held over a two week period, this should not cause undue worry. As to the concerns that the dieter will become bored on this diet, this diet is no more restricting than many others, and a diet is a test on willpower, no matter which diet is followed.

Therefore, if you do decide to try the Yoplait diet, our recommendation must be that you keep your exercise regimen up, keep your meals balances, and not to continue after the two week period.

There has been much speculation over the years as to whether the Yoplait diet works, and whether it is a healthy diet to follow. Questions have also been asked as to how sustainable the diet is over any period of time. To address these concerns, we first need to look at the guidelines of the yoplait diet, and the claims the diet makes.

The Yoplait diet is in essence a two week diet which entails eating yoghurt, cereal and 1 fruit for breakfast and lunch every day for two weeks. The diet allows for a low carb supper each night, and a snack of certain fresh raw vegetables at mid afternoon. The diet also calls for a 30 – 40 minute exercise regimen each day. The calorie intake each day should not exceed 1200. This is a fairly rigid diet, as it requires the breakfasts and lunches to be very controlled, although supper is less controlled.

The Yoplait diet claims that this will help the dieter to shake off up to 5 lbs. in the two week period, especially in order to look at your best before a celebration or special occasion. Many have used this diet successfully, also after holiday weight gain needs to be shaken off. The Yoplait diet recommends that the diet be used to start a diet programme, and healthy lifestyle, and that the diet only be followed for two weeks.

The Yoplait diet has however raised concerns in the past. The foremost concern is the unhealthy amount of aspartame that is added to the yoghurt. Aspartame has been known to cause from mild to severe medical conditions, including depression, headaches, birth defects and blindness. Many people wonder if regular yoghurt, although low fat, would not be better to use for this diet. The calorie intake would be increased, and the weight loss maybe not so rapid, but the health benefits might be greater.

Another concern that has been raised is whether the Yoplait diet is varied and balanced enough over the two week period, and whether people will not get bored by eating yoghurt twice each day. Here we must remember that any diet requires will-power to stick with it, and will require effort to attain the best results. The diet is varied, and is balanced, meeting all the nutritional needs of the dieter.

By being creative in preparing the foods, the dieter will be able to have a lot of variety in their meals each day. And if the Yoplait diet is followed strictly for only two weeks, following the recommendations for exercise, the benefits of this diet can be worth the monotony of eating so much yoghurt.
