Soup and Salad Diet Meal Plan
This diet is easiest if you stick to the canned soups, since the calories are counted for you, as against homemade. If variety is not important to you, eat the same fruits and snacks each day. All the snacks are listed at the end of each day’s menu. You may eat them all at the same time or scatter them throughout the day.
