IT WORKS EVERY TIME BUT YOU NEED TO WORK IT; TO WORK FOR YOU!
Mix and match to get variety of proteins, fruits,and veggies!!
Water upon rising is key (I add lemon to mine – optional)8oz.
BREAKFAST: 1 bowl of sugar free cereal with low fat milk(fiber cereal) and add fresh fruit (berries or some banana) any kind.
Lunch: Lettuce salad with all your favorite fixings and a low fat dressing.
I add one of these: a can of tuna or a can of chicken or a large egg for protein to my salad.
If you need to have more to fill yourself with the salad you can eat along with it either a baked potato or yam or substitute a cup of soup
on the side. Sometimes the salad will be enough. Whatever you need.
Do the same thing for dinner
Be sure to drink at least 8 glasses of water daily.
Snack in between with fresh fruit as needed.. don’t exceed 5 in a day
You will have variety and lose weight the good way.
I also take a good multiple vitamin/mineral.
You will lose on an average 2-4 pounds a week.
Enjoy!!
