Weight loss doesn’t happen overnight — at least not when it’s the healthy way. Adding more of the good and less of the bad to your diet is an integral part of weight loss. That’s the entire idea behind the weight loss programs at Smart for Life Weight Loss Cookie Diet Center in Los Angeles. By customizing a unique plan that lets you eat delicious, healthy cookies that are 60% organic and low on sugar, fat, and carbs, you will actually be able to eat and lose weight. Protein can be found in a variety of foods, and it’s the key ingredient in your diet that will make or break your weight loss regimen.

In order to create a completely healthy menu for your day, have one of the Smart for Life cookies every two hours to keep you full and energized. Then finish off your night with a nutritional dinner of lean meats and veggies, so your body’s metabolism is working its best to keep burning fat and adding muscle. 

Here are three high-protein, lean dinner ideas to try:

• Mexican-Style Black Bean Soup: Don’t overlook legumes when considering your protein sources. Try a simple black bean soup with just a few pantry ingredients and some veggies. Flavorful, filling, and just as fun as enchiladas. 
• Stuffed Peppers: Meat and veggies don’t have to be a separate meal. Consider roasted red peppers stuffed with lean ground turkey or even meatless beef made from soy. Easy to put together with lots of protein and nutrition! 
• Miso Salmon: Fish and seafood are great sources of lean meat. Instead of sushi, try a delicious Japanese-inspired miso salmon with just a few ingredients. Add whatever steamed veggies you like to this one.
