A great diet for weight loss is the 1200 calorie diet. It's not for everyone though. Small framed women who are not too active can use the 1200 calorie diet. Those who are taller, weigh more, or have more activity may need to eat more than 1200 calories. In this post, I thought it would be nice to formulate a mock 1200 calorie meal plan.
