The plan

I am never on diet for long with this plan because I lost what I need to lose fast. I haven't reach my goal yet because life have been hectic recently and I never go through pass the 2nd day. So I been following a loose version to maintain my weight.

Depends on how much need to be lost and how fast I would recommend a 1200 to 1400 calories per day. That is also medically safe but myself sometimes I only take 1000 calories.

How it works. A woman needs 2000 calories a day. As to lose one pound you need to have a deficit of 3500 by maintaining your calorie intake around 1200 you have a total deficit of 5600 (almost 2 pounds). Then You have to increase your activity. Try to at least burn the same amount of calories you take. So you will have a negative balance of zero whereas you still need that 2000 to live. Results of total weekly lost = 4 pounds. And the more you increase your activities the more you are losing weight. This is how the biggest loser works too. So in 4 weeks you can be at least 16 pounds lighter!

Other rules.
  • eat every 3 hours
  • drink plenty of liquid but no sugary drinks (even juice- too much added sugar)
  • eat whenever you hungry but healthy food such as fruit, salad and etc.

Trip to the supermarket
- Greek yogurt. I love chobani (plain, non fat, no sugar)- if money is an issue buy some danone plain no fat yogurt (it has less protein though)
- Mamba
- Lait ecreme
- cheese, hot dog, hand FAT FREE
- SALADE a volonte
- Shrimp, fish and all type of seafood (avoid meat except lean chicken. Research has showed that beef help lose weight so you might want to have some lean beef sirloin). If you suffer from cholesterol avoid seafood can be deadly.
-Vitamin
-eggs (but you only use the white)
