How It Works
Flexibility is the name of the game here. Swap any meal for another of the same type and enjoy as many calorie-free drinks (coffee, tea, water, etc.) as you want. Each day also includes two snacks under 150 calories and one 200 to 250 calorie indulgence, plus 50 to 100 "discretionary" calories. Use those to enjoy milk in your morning coffee, one 5-ounce glass of wine at night, or an extra serving of any veggies or fruit. Even with all of the treats, you can l ose up to two pounds per week and keep it up until you achieve your weight loss goal.
It's also worth noting that weight loss, health and body image are complex subjects — before deciding to go on this diet, we invite you gain a broader perspective by reading our exploration into the hazards of diet culture.
