Are you a woman looking for a detailed and result-oriented Nigerian meal plan? Well, look no further.
In this 14-day Nigerian weight loss meal plan, I’ll show you how to eat your best Nigerian foods while making choices that support your health.
I’m taking the wisdom of Nigerian grandmothers, the flair of Nigerian chefs, and the science of nutrition to create a plan that’s as effective as it is enjoyable.
So, whether you’re a proud daughter of Naija, a lover of Nigerian meals, or simply someone seeking a delicious path to weight loss, join me on this interesting post.
Let’s get started.
I’ve set the daily intake at 1500 calories, as this is the recommended calorie intake you need to lose 0.5-1 kg weekly.
I have created this Nigerian diet plan with the proper mixture of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and fiber, guaranteed to keep you feeling fuller, and on fewer calories without starving yourself.
Following this plan will lead to reduced body fat and will help you lose weight fast.
Side Note – To continue to lose weight at this pace, after a 1-month mark, you will have to reduce the above calorie intake again by 100-200 calories.
This is because, the more weight you lose, the harder it gets to lose even more.
When choosing or creating a meal plan, you should plan your meals based on your lifestyle and requirements. You should consider:
Each person’s diet plan is going to be different due to people’s varying lifestyles and requirements.
When using a weight loss diet plan, you shouldn’t feel like you have to follow it to the T, you can edit it based on your specific requirements.
When shopping for ingredients such as oils, salad dressings, snacks, and drinks, pay attention to their calorie value and pick the lowest option.
This makes sure you’re making your meals with lower-calorie ingredients.
Spend some time at the beginning of each week to plan out what you’ll eat on some meals, this helps curb impulsive taking out and the draining question of “What should I have for breakfast?”
Meal prepping is a huge time saver for people who don’t have the time to cook every day.
Choose one or two meals in the plan on a weekend and cook enough for the coming week.
You don’t have to eat different, complex meals every day.
Eating the same foods on most days is completely fine, the simpler you keep your meal plan, the easier it is to stay consistent.
Keeping a log of your meals is a great way to see clear results, make adjustments when you hit a plateau (The point where you stop losing weight), and hold yourself accountable.
These tips and considerations will help make sure you use this meal plan properly and customize it to fit your specific lifestyle.
I made this meal plan very specific and detailed, making it applicable and ensuring weight loss. This diet is not restrictive; you can still eat your favorite Nigerian foods in moderation.
The foods in this meal plan are calorie counted and measured, Use the guide below to properly understand portion sizes.
100g of cooked rice is 4 Heaping tablespoons.
Wherever you see + followed by a number, that is the remaining calories for the day you can either eat, have a 330ml drink, save for another day, or just go on a lower deficit.

This might all seem a bit confusing at first if you’re new to the world of calories, but if you stick with this meal plan long enough, it will get clearer, and you will see rapid results.
Remember you must be reasonable and honest with yourself.
If you add a few more spoonsful of food to your plate then the calorie increases, wherever you see 1 piece of protein in the meal plan, and you decide to choose the fattest meat in the pot, the calorie increases, if you eat too much on the cheat meal, you can potentially wipe out your previous day’s diet efforts.

So far, I haven’t mentioned anything about drinks. Do you have to cut them out completely during a diet?
That would be ideal, but I doubt many of us would continue for long with that type of restriction.
It is suggested that you take 2-3 drinks at most per week if you want to lose weight quickly.
Here are some low-calorie drinks you take during your diet.

As I conclude this article, remember that this meal plan is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s a starting point, depending on your metabolism and BMI, you may have to eat less or more.
