The 1 Week Vegetarian’s Diet
There are some alternatives. If you want to switch meals around and have dinner for lunch or have breakfast for a snack, or eat the food in any order you like, feel free to do so. Please substitute from the snack for those foods not in your market. If you decide you like one day’s food plan in particular, you may substitute it for one that doesn’t appeal to you. Or, eat it every day if you wish. As for salad dressing, they are always of the low-calorie variety. All foods are cooked by broiling, poaching, steaming, roasting or baking.
