Weight loss Diets for Everyday People

Everyday Weight loss Diet - Eating Plan 2                    Week:  1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12

This weight loss diet for everyday people recognises that we can all consume different amounts of food and still lose weight.

Based on an average daily intake of around 2000 calories or 8400 kilojoules, this diet allows you to eat a little more or less by listing the calorie and kilojoule value of each food so you can add or remove foods to achieve the intake you want.

This page lists the eating plan for Week 1 of this 12 week weight loss diet. Designed for those who want to include more fruit and vegetables in their diet, this plan only includes a few meat and seafood dishes, which can be substituted if you want to go totally vegetarian. If you're looking for a realistic diet you can follow indefinately, you may just have found it!
