With this diet, and my workout schedule, I hope to loose the last 15 pounds, but I think you could keep using this diet to loose however much you need. I get too hungry when I eat a 1200 calorie meal, so for me the 1300-1500 calorie plans take my weight off a little slower, but I am not starving. Don?t get me wrong?I am hungry when I go to bed, but it is a good hungry?knowing I ate right and did the right things for my body. I go to bed being proud of myself and knowing I did a good job. I sleep much better than if I eat junk all day and go to bed with a belly that is so full I feel sick.
Keep in mind that you should take a daily multi-vitamin. I will be taking all my supplements.
The amount of water to drink may seem high. Water is the best thing you can do for your diet and for your body. It flushes you out and improves your skin. Plus it helps you to curb your hunger. Please do not try and drink 120 oz of water on the 1st day. You would be spending all your time in the bathroom. Take it slowly and watch the improvement in the way you feel and the way you look.
