1200 Calorie Diet Plan by Abdul Hai


1200 Calorie Diet Plan
by Abdul Hai,

To Be slim Follow the plan:

Group- 1 cup. This is equal to a small banana or apple or pear or a cup of cubed pineapple.

Grain Group - 4 ounces which is equal to 1/2 cup of steamed white, brown or wild rice.

Vegetable Group - 1 ½ cups. Example: 1 cup of wax beans and one large raw carrot.

Proteins - 3 ounces. Proteins can be animal or vegetable based. A serving is equal to 1/2 cup of most beans.

Milk & Dairy- 2 cups of milk or yogurt OR one ounce of cheese.

Oil - 4 teaspoons.

Personal Discretionary Calories - 171 calories. This is defined as the amount of calories which is left over [approximate amount] after all the five basic food groups have been satisfied.

To put the above information into context, throughout the day the entire eating plan would consist of the following, thus equaling 1200 calories: 1 banana, 1/2 of white rice, 1/2 cup of pinto beans, 1 cup of wax beans, a carrot, 2 cups of milk and for our discretionary calories we'll opt for 2 slices of bread. Not much food, is it?




With savvy planning, we can fit more foods into this plan. Our example is as follows.
1200 Calorie Diet, Breakfast Menu


1 serving of whole grain cereal (110 calories)
½ banana OR 1 cup of fresh whole strawberries
1/2 cup of skim milk
Also enjoy a cup of coffee or tea using no more than 50 calories worth of sugar and creamer.

Enjoy the other half of the banana OR 1 cup of strawberries. 1 Fruit Group Serving.

In Summary

When the body doesn't receive the amount of calories it requires to function in a healthy manner, the metabolism works at a slower pace than normal. The result is a slower rate of weight loss.
