5-4-3-2-1 DIET PLAN !


Each of three meals per day should consist of:

5 bites of protein.
4 bites of vegetables.
3 bites of carbs, preferably whole grains.
2 bites of sweets.
1 minute between bites.


Add:

One mid-morning snack,
one mid-afternoon snack (yogurt or other dairy, fruit, nuts),
a multivitamin, and
8 glasses of water each day.


Rules for this diet plan:

If you do not want dessert, you can eat two additional bites of protein, vegetables, or carbs.
If your menu items are not separated, eat 14 total bites. For example, a pasta dish would not be separated.
One subtle way to help count bites is to move a piece of food off to the side of your plate for each bite you eat.
Bites should be “normal”-sized and chewed well.
Eat “mindfully.” Don’t be distracted. Savor each bite.
Limit diet soda to one per day.
Prepare foods in a healthy manner. Limit fats to two teaspoons of heart-healthy oils each day.
Include a minimum of 30 minutes each day of exercise.
Choose denser foods to stay full longer.
