The Free Diet Plan at Lying Scales, How it works & what you need to know before you start.

First off, before beginning ANY diet plan, please see your doctor for approval.  Our Free Diet Planner may assist you in establishing a PATTERN for healthier eating, and provide an example of a dieter's daily menu.

Keep in mind that a successful diet is a planned diet.  A successful diet is NOT a fad diet.  A successful diet incorporates healthy foods, necessary fats, vitamins to ensure total nutrition and moderate exercise. 

The Diet Plan provides detailed menus, including all recipes. Calories are calculated for you - about 1,350 per day.

• Recipes are created with ingredients found in a 'normal' kitchen.

• Some recipes contain meat which can easily be substituted for standard veggie items, including eggs and peanut butter.  

• Daily meal suggestions include: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner plus 2 Snacks

• You can also trade out lunches, breakfasts and dinners. In other words, if you feel like eating what is recommended for dinner on the menu that day for lunch, then do so - then at dinner time, enjoy the lunch menu.

• Exercise & Activity - Our recommendation is walking every day OR every other day for 10-20 minutes and this can be accomplished in many ways (shopping, sports, etc.).

• No special tools needed for the free diet planner.  You will need a scale to weigh yourself on, some measuring spoons and cups.  A couple of 2-5 pound weight would be helpful to incorporate into a personal fitness plan (5 pound bags of potatoes OR gallon milk jugs filled with sand also work well) but this is totally optional.

• Some individuals are highly allergic to certain foods, such as shellfish and strawberries. In this event, the dieter should substitute that food for another.

Good luck on your diet plan and above all else, make your diet FUN!
