Many more
examples of my personal diet menus below, all low in calories and mostly
comprised of healthy foods. The 3 menus all contain 4 meals for each day. I
sometimes break a big meal up into two smaller meals to "spread the calorie
cost" when reducing intake.
I always make
sure I change or rotate my daily diet menus. This practice helps to avoid
any
possible deficiency in a particular nutrient - if I miss out on one nutrient
then tomorrow's daily diet plan may supply it!
I
always drink plenty of
clean bottled water before, during and after each meal or snack. It's
important to maintain fluid levels for maximum energy throughout the day.
The following
