Trying to loose weight? Good for you. you're on the right path. Here's a meal plan you can adopt that won't make you feel like you are starving yourself as it contains 3 meals and 2 snacks.
please note however that the first thing is to know where you are, where youre going and how long it will take you to get there. that way you know how many calories to budget for your daily consumption.
Also, please note that while a balanced, healthy diet is great, you need to combine it with a healthy lifestyle, (sleep and rest properly), exercise best suited for your health state and lifestyle, and regular detoxification.
please study the food pyramid below and adopt it to suit you.
