When you’re on a diet, having a strong weight loss support system can mean the difference between success and failure. We have a major league support team at Plan Z, but if you can add a personal support network to that and buddy up with a partner, the benefits are even greater.

A weight loss buddy (or an accountabilibuddy) can be a spouse or significant other, or a friend that lives nearby. Sometimes buddies are coworkers who support each other at work. In other cases, they live across the country from each other! What’s better with a buddy? Everything! I’ve listed seven of my favorite reasons below.

1. Picking Recipes Together

If you and your buddy live together, you can each be in charge of dinner 3 nights a week. Then, one day a week, order delivery and enjoy a Plan Z style dinner that neither one of you had to cook.

Plan Z has over 900 recipes now for everything from comfort food to a gourmet dining so it’s fun deciding where you’re going to eat. And you don’t have to eat bland or boring food. Just make a meal plan. Having a plan will keep you from buzzing through the drive-thru at the last minute.

2. Shopping Together

We don’t require buddies to shop together, but when you live together, it happens. The great news is, our buddies tell us it’s a fun experience. I get notes from buddy-husbands who tell me before Plan Z they hadn’t been in a grocery store in years. Now, when they shop with their buddy-wives they are amazed. They have learned to read labels and are astonished at how many things in a grocery store have sugar or HFCS in them — it’s now more than 80%! They are even trying new foods!

Famous Burger Meatloaf

This is a “Whopper” of a meatloaf designed to taste like the famous burger. I hope you enjoy.

Servings: Serves 6

 

Ingredients:

2 pounds of ground sirloin
1 egg
1 cup of diced onion
1/2 cup of breadcrumbs
Grated sea salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup of canned tomato sauce (No added sugar. Hunts is a good one.)
Dill pickle slices (Check label to make sure they are straight dill pickles)
3 Tbl of mustard of your favorite flavor of mustard (Just make sure there is no sugar)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl add the meat, egg, onion and breadcrumbs with a good grate of salt and pepper. Mix until fully blended. I always do this with my hands. Get in there and mix it up well. You want to ensure all the ingredients are equally distributed.

Take out a loaf pan. Spray it with olive oil spray.

Put in the meat mixture and form it into a loaf. I make sure mine is higher in the middle than at the ends; your choice.

Bake the meatloaf for one hour. Once out of the oven, spread on the mustard, then drizzle on the tomato sauce and top with a row of dill pickle slices down the middle. Put back in the oven and bake for another 10 minutes.

Remove it from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes before cutting.

You should get six slices from the meatloaf; one slice is roughly four to six ounces.

Enjoy!
Cheers,
Zola
