Cup & Saucer Diet

The name makes it easier to remember. It just a low calories diet designed to reduce your cal. intake by 500-1000cal a day. With two days of exercise you should lose at least a pound a week.

Weekends off (only 5 days)
Multi-vitamin a must.
Unlimited vegetables all day (raw, steamed, pickled)
-benefits: low cal, fiber, vita&mins
Water before every meal
-benefits: top way to boost metabolism.
Breakfast in a TEA CUP.
-benefits: low calorie amt. starts metabolism working.
Lunch is your main meal. Eat. Keep it reasonable.
Dinner on a SAUCER.
-benefits: less hungry in the morning. Cuts calories. Metabolism is slower when sleeping.

How to make it better?
-no carbs breakfast & dinner
-lunch make carbs whole grains (not white refined)
-No artificial sweetners! Ever. Sugar is real food. (unless diabetic)
-eat real food. (book 'In Defense of Food', also 'A Hungry Planet, What the World Eats')
-increase protein, good research indicates body doesn't like to use protein to make fat.

Breakfast250cal, lunch500c, dinner250c, snacks200c approx.

Notice this really doesn't restrict types of foods. Eat what you like. Just less bad stuff & more vegetables.

I stay on this diet at least 4 days a week. If I want to lose more I may push it to 6 days.
