Super Slim Down Menu Plan

Menu Plan 
Each meal is designed to take the guess work out of calorie counting for you...  All are around 300 calories, some even less, and nutrionally balanced...Your days should range between 1200-1600 calories,
 but stay closer to 1200 if you want to see more dramatic weight loss!
  And remember, God has great plans for you and your weight loss!  Jeremiah 29:11
