Weight Loss, Diet and Fitness Program

Can’t stand diets that tell you exactly what to eat at every meal? Then this plan is sure to please!

Are you tired of being told what to eat? Are you sick of spending a small fortune buying the foods called for on a hot new diet plan, only to get sick of it within weeks? Are you bored beyond words with weight-loss plans that call for cooking elaborate dishes every day, only to drop next to no pounds, or no pounds at all?

Take heart-you’re not alone. Diet boredom is one of the biggest reasons weight-loss programs fail. The following plan assures that you’ll be a weight-loss winner this time around, by letting you choose the foods that will make up your daily meals. You find the servings called for on the basic meal plan, and pick the foods on the list that suit your fancy. Weightloss just doesn’t get easier than this! Best of all, you’ll drop up to five pounds during the week you’re on this plan.

Do This, Lose Big
As with any weight-loss program, there are ways to make this plan work best for you:
• Get your doctor’s permission before you try this, or any other, diet.

• Red meat should be limited to four ounces per week. You may have up to two eggs within seven days. Use lean cuts of meat, and trim off all visible fat before cooking.

• All protein sources must be baked, broiled or grilled. Vegetables are to be steamed or eaten raw. You may use mustard, salsa, herbs and spices to flavor your meals. You cannot use salt, which can cause fluid retention.

• Weigh and measure all portion sizes with the use of a food scale and a set of measuring cups and spoons. Be especially careful when measuring fat choices; you may not exceed the allotted amount of butter, margarine, regular salad dressing or mayonnaise at any time.

• Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day. You may have one cup or glass of iced or hot coffee or tea daily.

• There’s plenty of variety built into this plan-take advantage of it! Don’t restrict yourself to the same foods day after day, because diet boredom will set in all too soon. Select different protein sources, veggies, and breads-you’ll stay on the program longer and will enjoy it more.
