Check Out The Weekend Diet – The 1200 Calories Diet

1200 Calories Diet

It’s a true fact that weight gain is more likely to occur during weekend days relative to weekdays, due to both higher dietary intake and lower physical activity. Most of us are 0.077 kg heavier after weekends. Even if it might seem insignificant related to a weekly basis, this rate of weight gain could result in an annual increase of 4.0 kg, if we keep the same eating habits throughout the year.

A successful way to keep these 4 kg away is the weekend diet. This diet recommends a 1200 calories diet plan which fights the weekend weight gain and preserves the weekdays’ weight loss. Since most of us spend our weekends with our family and friends, it is usually pretty hard to follow a meal plan which indicates specific foods and quantities, so we should try to eat what we want, but counting calories and following the general rules of healthy eating.

There’s a sample of a 1200 calories daily plan:

Breakfast

  • 1 cup (60 g) of breakfast cereals ( 230 calories) with 200 ml skim milk  (85 calories)
  • Black Coffee or Herbal Tea (0)
