TOTAL CALORIES (approx.)

This is really a low calorie, high protein diet. The calorie intake is somewhere between 1200-1500 a day.  If you eat 5 times a day, exercise and drink AT LEAST a gallon or more of water you will see a big weight loss very quickly.

Take before pictures and weight in every Sunday.  Also, try not to cheat for the first 30 days.  If you cheat a lot you will get discouraged and quit and have to keep starting back over.  After 30 days, then give yourself a weekly cheat day.  Eat whatever you want (don’t go too crazy) and the next day get right back on track.  Remember this is a life style change!!!!

This is all new to me as well.  I am loosing.  I will show my pictures at the end of 60 days.  Just don’t think about it.  Just do it. 

Below is my grocery list.
