7 Days Meal Plan for weight loss diet

Sunday night... ahhh all those good purposes for the week! I wrote down a list of suggestions and tips to help you stick to your good purposes. I hope it helps.


General Rules:
1. Your entitled to two spoons of evoo (extra virgin olive oil) a day, use it wisely.
2. A good glass of wine is good for the spirit. Enjoy it!
3. You can swap every meal and the sides. Mix and match!
4. No white sugar, use cane if you really must.
5. No processed food, no soda, as you saw from my list.
6. Fruit and vegetables: use whatever is in season in your part of the world right now.
7.  Don't starve yourself. If this is not enough food for you, add some servings of vegetables, have larger portions of fish and meat, as long as you don't overdo it with fatty foods (like nuts, butter, oil) and carbs you will be fine.
