What are the drawbacks?
People who want to lose weight quickly for an event or party. People who don't like calorie counting, as long as you follow the meal plans, that's all been done for you.
It's a quick fix not a long-term solution so you could put back on any weight you lose after the plan.
Each day you should choose one breakfast, lunch and dinner. You're also allowed two snacks from the list below and you should aim to drink at least eight glasses of water.
