Lose Weight Fast With The 1200-Calorie Meal Plan For 7 Days

You simply can’t lose weight without daily physical activity and a low-calorie meal plan. So to help you lose weight fast, here’s a 1200-calorie meal plan for an entire week.

I know a meal plan with just 1200 calories per day is below specialists’ recommendation, that’s why I recommend you to burn 200 to 500 calories through a workout every day.

This way you can eat 200 to 500-calorie extra foods of your choice each day.

So performing a 500-calorie workout, your daily calorie intake can increase to 1700. Not bad, right?

But remember, you need to exercise every day, no exception. Even one hour of walking counts!
