Weeks 1 to 12
Guidelines:
Following the diet plan you've chosen, eat breakfast everyday. It is the meal that gets you going and is very important! Many dieters believe that skipping breakfast will help with loosing weight. The truth is that when you miss breakfast, it causes you to be hungrier throughout the day. Which means more snacking and over-eating during other meals. Not much of a morning eater? Try a small bagel or toast or a piece of fruit. On the low carb diet? Try an egg and 2 strips of bacon or 2 sausage links.
