Diet plan

DEVELOP A FREE DIET PLAN
When developing a free diet plan there are some important points to consider. A free diet plan should include these basic diet plan steps:
Estimate calorie requirements for your present weight
Roughly calculate your present calorie consumption by recording food consumed in an average day
Start the free diet plan by reducing your present daily calorie intake by about 500 calories
When weight loss slows reduce calorie consumption by a further 100 per day. ( See free diet plan tip # 3 opposite! )
A free diet plan should consist of mainly natural foods low in calories and high in nutrients to help avoid any nutrient deficiency





The free diet plan can be kept nutritionally sound by consuming a balanced diet consisting mostly natural wholesome foods and ingredients, high in fibre and low in fat. The diet plan should never be completely changed from your old eating habits so the simplest way is to consume foods you normally eat but substitute them for the more natural type.
A good free diet plan should introduce any changes slowly and not drift too much from normal food preference. Trying to consume foods your not keen on wont help motivation so try to use more herbs and spices to add flavour.
The free diet plan should be designed to fit into your lifestyle effectively by planning how meals will be prepared each day so take a while to think about your free diet plan to see if any changes will affect you and whether you are prepared to accept these changes.
Finally a successful free diet plan should include drinking plenty of water. Water contains no calories plus it helps revitalise cells to make make you feel energetic throughout the day.
