5 Awesome Websites to Get Easy Recipes for Weight Loss

(Updated Jan. 16, 2023. Originally posted on Dec. 18, 2013.)

One of the most popular questions I am asked is, “What are some easy and healthy recipes for weight loss?” I answer, “Eating meals containing mostly whole foods and be sure to include protein in every meal.”

Many people juggle busy schedules and don’t have all day to spend in the kitchen. I totally get it. Below you will find five resources for tasty, fun, easy recipes to help you lose weight.

What exactly makes a recipe a weight loss recipe? More balanced nutrients, mainly consisting of whole food ingredients and are generally leaner so they are lower in calories.

There is no specific food that makes you lose weight. Weight loss happens through a calorie deficit. You can actually lose weight off chocolate bars as long as you ate in a daily deficit over a period of time. However, that would not be very nutritious.

So when trying to lose weight, it can greatly help to find recipes lower in calories overall that are simple to make without sacrificing satisfying flavours and textures.
