What makes Diet Plan Work?

This plan combines low-calorie, nutrient-dense foods with high protein and fiber to help:

1. Keep you full and satisfied
2. Promote fat loss without muscle loss
3. Stabilize blood sugar to prevent cravings
4. We use a calorie target range of 1200–1500 (for women) and 1500–1800 (for men), customizable using the DietPulse App.

How the 7-Day Plan Is Structured?

Each day includes:

• Breakfast (under 350 calories)
• Lunch (under 400–450 calories)
• Dinner (around 400–500 calories)
• 2 snacks (100–150 calories each)

You’ll consume plenty of water, fiber, and healthy fats with no added sugar or ultra-processed foods.
