I get questions each day asking for a 1200 calorie diet plan. This 1200 calorie diet is a “do-it-yourself plan” that’s all about doing your homework so lets get studying. Think about studying for your new “skinny” body, so that when you lose the weight you can stay fit and healthy for the rest of your life.
You need to learn how to do a meal plan because you won’t always be on a “diet.” Some diet plans give you weeks and weeks of what to eat, but they are doing the homework for you, so that you don’t pass the test and you have to keep on their plan, shakes, meals.. etc.
I’ve done it, lost all the weight just to gain it all back again, because I never did my “homework” I was not ready for the “test.” And guess what I did? Each time I said “I will just go back on_____ diet and lose it again.” More money for them…

Additional Weight Loss Tip: Try Fruit Infused Detox Water
One thing my site is pretty famous for is my fruit infused detox water recipes. Drinking infused detox water a fantastic way to improve your weight loss by helping you drink more water without artificial sweeteners or other nasty chemicals. I recommend you drink about a gallon a day, or as close as you can. These drinks will keep you full among other healthy benefits, including making your skin more beautiful and increasing your metabolism.
I began making infused water back in April 2012 with my first flavored water post Day Spa Apple Cinnamon Water. That recipe turned out to be really popular, and went viral on Pinterest with over 2 million views within the first year. Since then, I have created a lot more infused water recipes, and even wrote a fruit infused water recipe book called Fruit Infusion: A Collection of Day Spa Inspired, Fruit Infused Waters.
Final thoughts on the 1200 Calorie Meal Plan
Although this 1200 calorie a day diet is healthy and highly recommended for most people, there are some restrictions– if you are nursing or have other dietary restrictions, you should consult a doctor before starting the 1200 calorie diet.
