DAILY DISH
Sample:
>Breakfast: Oatmeal berry pancakes
>Snack: Apple-turkey rollups with relish and mustard
>Lunch: Stuffed mushroom and greens
>Snack: Chicken salad with apples
>Dinner: Lobster and peas with tomato basil sauce and barley
The 5 Factor Diet also includes a “cheat” day on which you can eat anything you want, while still eating five meals.
It’s intended to prevent boredom by allowing you to ease up on the diet’s rules, but it’s not meant to be a day to gorge.
