COMPOSITION AND METHODS FOR LOSING WEIGHT

摘要

Compositions and methods of losing weight are described in which an individual's daily caloric intake is limited to about 1600 calories or less, where the calories are provided by at least some form of carbohydrate intake and at least some form of protein intake, provided that about 40 percent or more of the protein intake is consumed at breakfast. The relative amounts of carbohydrate and protein ideally suited for each meal of the weight loss plan are described. Food packages include meals for at least one breakfast composition, at least one lunch or dinner composition, and at least one snack composition and, optionally may include, a traditional meal of a prescribed range of caloric and nutritional content to be consumed either at lunch or dinner.
