The 1200 Calorie Diet Plans have gained an increasing popular interest in our market in the past decades. A lot of books on this subject with corresponding recipes and daily menus have come out because of the increasing number of people who want to lose weight and avoid the health risks associated with obesity.
It is not easy to create a caloric deficit using this diet plan because people can’t stand the sudden decrease of carbohydrate intake. Some withdraw from the diet after just a week and sometimes as early as 4 days. It is not easy. So if you are thinking of going on a 1200 calorie diet plan, here is a sample menu so you could test it first if you will be able to stand it for a long period of time.
1200 Calorie Diet Plan Menu
Breakfast
½ sliced banana
¾ cup cornflakes
1 slice Jack cheese
1 while wheat toast
1 teaspoon jam
Coffee or tea
Glass skim milk
Lunch
2 hot dogs
¼ cup mashed potatoes
Sauerkraut
Fresh fruit salad
1 ½ angel food cake
Coffee
Dinner
2 oz beef
½ cup Italian noodles
Cauliflower
Lettuce with low fat dressing
2 halves pears
Tea or coffee
Skim milk
You may add skimmed milk powder to fresh skimmed milk to improve its flavor and reinforce its nutrient value. When making a vegetable salad be sure to use one with no fat value. Two types of non fat salad dressing: The Mayonnaise type: 1 cup non fat milk, 2 tbs cornstarch, cook over low heat until thick, add ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp dry mustard and cool, add 2 tbs vinegar, egg coloring, beat until smooth. The French Dressing style: Add the following ingredients into a handy bottle and shake thoroughly until its well blended. 3-4 tbs wine or tarragon vinegar, juice of crushed garlic, salt, pepper, 1 cup tomato puree, ¼ cup lemon juice, 2-3 tbs catsup, ½ tsp sugar, ¼ tsp dry mustard, Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce of you desire.
Although this may seem an easy diet to follow, a lot of people do get some problems in sticking to the 1200 calorie limit. The cravings are felt as early as the 4th day from the start. That is mostly when the food binges and "accidents" happen. I suggest that when you want to start a diet, start out with something that you can stick to for the long term to get maximum and successful results.
