This free diet plan is a three day diet planner and is based on the nutritional needs of the official USDA food pyramid.
Each day contains about 1,500 calories.
Be certain to incorporate activity into your weight loss program; we recommend a 10-15 walk each day at minimum per your doctor's approval.
We also recommend that you drink 6-8 glasses of water daily which will keep your fluids flowing - as well as your vital organs.
Before beginning any diet plan, be sure and get with your physician.
