Meal 1: Breakfast
This plan calls for 1x200ml Shake (Leisa's Secret) for Breakfast each Day. At this point, I don't know what Leisa's Secret is. It's a secret so I looked up how many ounces are in 200ml on Wiki.answers.com and discovered that "There are 7 ounces in 200 ML. There are 16 ounces in a pint. Therefor 200 ml is equal to just a little less than half a pint. " Well, my first mental response to this was, "Well, I'm an American. I can't go around making 7 ounce measures all day... I need to adjust this to an 8 ounce measure."
Meal 2: "Morning Tea"
Fruit- Monday, Wednesday, Friday w/ Sunday choice of fruit or 50gm Walnut or Macadamia nuts. Here I went w/ 1 ounce vs 50gm as recommended because it is simply too difficult to figure out 50gm w/out the proper tools... 1/2 a cup is about 58.5 gm... So, unless you are a mathematician, and i'm not, I am posting a 1 ounce measure as this is what most weight loss diets call for.
Meal 3: 1 x Advanced Thermo, 1x Resist and 1x 200ml Shake (Leisa's Secret).
I Googled "Advanced Thermo" and found reference to ... several scientific articles...Then eventually to Leisa's Secret Advanced Thermo 60 Tablets Stages 1, 2, 3, and 4 which comes to a whopping $120.00

"Experts" strongly advocate the increased consumption of dietary fiber and the lower intake of fat and calories. Not only is this critical to weight loss, it is also a prerequisite of good general health.
The BEST resource that I have found for nutrition data is nutritiondata.com. For EACH fruit listed below, you can find data based on portion size and type, be it diced, whole, with or without the skin, from California or Florida... you name it. This is such a great resource, I included it in my sidebar. I have used this as a reference tool for years.
Natural foods, high in dietary fiber include: apples, avocado, bananas, berries - blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, etc., guava, kiwi, oranges, pears, and prunes. Here are a few of the ones I eat most often...
A single apple contains approximately four grams of hunger-satisfying fiber–twice as much as a carrot!
When fiber passes through the stomach into the digestive tract, it is able to absorb water and waste materials before being eliminated from your body. As a result, proper intake of fiber reduces the amount of time food spends in the intestinal tract. This assists your body in its efforts to remove toxins and other wastes.*
Meal 3:
Is 1x Advanced Thermo , 1x Resist, and 1x 200ml Shake (leisa's Secret)
Meal 4:
Same as Meal 2 but in reverse. If you have fruit for morning tea, then you have 50mg nuts for afternoon tea. Consistency is key here.
Meal 5:
Supplements (1x Advanced Thermo , 1x Resist) and 100 - 150gm Salmon or Tuna + Salad. Now this was a challenge because depending on where you purchase your Salmon, you need to know what type of Salmon you have actually been buying... there's Alaskan Native, Red (Sockeye), Pink, King, Chinock, Coho, Wild, Farmed, ...
I also found out that Whole Foods stopped scaling their fish fillets... basically, they will "scale your selected fillet of fish and have you inspect the product prior to wrapping" it but I am pretty sure that they are hoping that not too many people request that they do that and I am not sure if this takes place in all of their markets or not...
I generally shop at The Fresh Market, The Whole Foods Market, Publix, Sam's Club or Penn Dutch for my meat. My favorite Salmon is Wild Alaskan Salmon and these stores carry BOTH King and Sockeye Salmon between June - September. Which makes this the BEST time to include Salmon in your diet. Here's an excerpt from the article I read on the Fresh Market's web page...

Tuna's another story... To be honest, I don't usually buy "fresh" tuna. I buy canned, but fresh is always the best way to go... There's Bluefin, Skipjack, Yellowfin,... and now I am curious as to what they look like in the wild... and almost afraid to look because I use to be a vegetarian and I already know, before I look, that this is not going to be pretty... But let's go on down this rabbit hole anyway...
