Free Weight Loss Tip: Keep a food diary. Successful "losers" do!

Here's a Bright Idea!

Want to take all the guess work out of what to eat?

Use diet meal delivery for 1-2 weeks to jump start your weight loss and reign in your portions.

Get a 1200 calorie menu delivered directly to your door!

Beverages: Don't forget to drink your water!

Divide your weight (in pounds) by 2 and that's the number of ounces of water to shoot for everyday.

Example: If you weigh 150 pounds...

150 / 2 = 75

You should therefore drink 75 ounces of fluid (or ~ 9 cups)/day.

(Decaf) coffee or tea, unsweetened beverages and artificially sweetened beverages like Crystal Light, etc. are OK to drink, but water should be your first choice :)
