    Not following either, what's the 12345?
  • nursenelson, I think she's talking about the 12345 Diet. It equals to 1500 calories throughout the day total. You have a 100 calorie snack, a 200 calorie snack, a 300 calorie breakfast, a 400 calorie lunch, and a 500 calorie supper.

    Hello you..! Its really about calories in, and in limitation. 100 calorie snacks x2 times a day, a 300 cal breakfast, a 400 cal lunch and a 500 cal dinner...totalling 1400 calories per day.

    If that's it - I suppose it would work fine. - it's 1500 calories....
    I personally, don't need any extra rules or I get weird.
    What would you do if your friend wanted to go out for lunch at a place without good options? Or breakfast? Can you swap them?
    Does it also ask you increase activity?

    As I understand it you can swap it around on occasions, however the key is to get used to portion control and also to begin to understand your own unique distribution of calories...
