UMP START DIET

The Jump Start Diet

This 2-week menu plan is based on 1200 to 1300 calories. We have consciously used real food and have even put in some foods often thought of as "off limits" when tr ying to lose weight. The plan is nutritionally sound and offers a variety of foods from all food categories. You may substitute one food within a food group for another, such as a pear for an apple or 3 oz. of chicken for 3 oz. lean beef. The most important thing to remember is to pay attention to portion sizes. When it says 1 cup, you need to measure out 1 cup, etc.

The plan is extremely simple to follow. Simply pick one selection for each meal as your day goes along. Note that your lunch will consist of a Lean Cuisine® meal. This is done so that you have a realistic option to eat at work or on the go. (If you don't find Lean Cuisine® meals at your local grocer, other options are Healthy Choice® and Weight Watchers® lunches.)

We have also built in a special treat at the end of most days. This is because people have the biggest success when they are allowed to have some of their favorite foods. They do not feel deprived and are not tempted to binge. Success comes because they are able to stick with the plan, lose weight and meet their goals without feeling like they were "on a diet". The important thing to remember is to use only the por tion size given, do not go back for more or guess on your por tion size.

If you do not wish to eat the snack after your evening meal, or feel that you cannot limit your portion size, it can be omitted.

Foods and condiments that can be used without adding significant calories include:

• Non-caloric beverages, this includes diet carbonated drinks

• Fat free condiments such as mustard, ketchup and vinegar

• Seasonings such as onion, garlic and herbs

• Artificial sweeteners

• Coffee, tea and herbal teas

Introduction

his program is designed to "jump start" you on your way to better health and fitness. In just 2 weeks, just 14 shor t days, you will begin to form habits to help you reach your fitness goals faster and easier than ever before.
