You’d love to drop some pounds, but it’s tough to find time to breathe during the holidays, never mind prepare calorie-conscious meals. That’s why we’ve created a 1,500-calorie-a-day plan that lets you shed 10 pounds in five weeks, eating packaged meals, salad bar offerings—and even fast food.
Our grab-and-go diet is based on research showing that eating convenience foods can actually help you lose weight. The benefit: Built-in calorie and portion control. “Most people are not that good at judging what constitutes a portion,” says LeaAnn Carson, RD, MS. “With frozen entrées, the choice of how much to eat is already made for you.” That’s probably why in an eight-week study that Carson co-authored at the University of Illinois, women who ate two frozen entrees daily lost 4 pounds more—a total of 12.3 pounds—than women who cooked their own meals.
