Would you consider this a good diet plan or should I add/subtract some foods.?

I''m aiming to lose about 20-40 pounds by summer time and have devised a diet plan. I''ve started this a couple of days ago and am planning on continuing for at least 5 months. Please let me know if you think it is good enough or if I should add or subtract any foods.

Meal #1 - Either a bowl of oatmeal or a bowl of granola + a banana or orange + a cup of green tea
Meal #2 - Either a bowl of tuna w/ mustard & pepper or a bowl of rice with chopped veggies
Meal #3 - Either a bowl of tuna w/ mustard & pepper or a peanut butter sandwich + a cup of yogurt
Meal #4 - A bowl of almonds (5-10) & walnuts (2-4) + a banana

I''d greatly appreciate any helpful answers. Thank You

What is the Fastest Way to Lose Weight?

Recommended Answer:
Seems pretty effective for weight loss for the most part, but their is definitely room for improvement. In meal one I suggest that you stick with oatmeal, because granola high in fat and sugar, and also can be addictive, because it is so tasty. or you can try barley which is similar to oatmeal in terms of taste and health. If you want the most effective diet in terms of weight loss, I suggest you stay away from bread as a whole and get your carbs from helathier and less starchy sources such as brown rice, oatmeal, barley, and healthy cereals that are low in sugar and high in fiber. Also finding alternatives to tuna as a main source of protein in your diet will help you stick to it. Such alternatives could be canned clam meat, egg whites, beef jerky, beans etc. You may need to add a little bit more calcium in your diet, and that can easily be done by adding more yogurt or fat free cottage cheese to the meal plan. But to warn you some yogurts even ones that are marked as healthy are high in sugar and if you have a hunger impulse , and they are stocked up in the fridge they may not last. So anyway hope this helps and good luck with your diet, and stay true to it as possible, but I definetlydo recomend that you do some research.

• a diet is nothing without exercize!
  
  peanut butter is kind of bad for you-SOO much fat. also carbs. if carbs arent used up, they are stored as FAT! instead go for protein. unused protein is just pooped out
  also make sure its GREEK yogurt, it has more protein
  alsoo remember celery and pickles are 0 cal wink wink winkkk
• You might get tired of tuna after a while so i would recomend throwing in any type of lean meat like chicken for a substitute! Other than that it sounds good - remember to drink 8 glasses of water a day! Good Luck!
• in addition to that I exercise by doing 10 repetitions of heavy weights. 11 exercises in 15 minutes 3x a week at 50 I was out of shape lost 35 lbs by cutting sweets and carbs.
