Tip #2: Between breakfast and lunch, have a cup of tea or a juice.

Tip #3: For lunch, the menu is more various. For instance, dieters may have a vegetable soup with tomatoes, potatoes, onion, and parsley, and a green salad with three scrapped carrots. You may add a spoon of oil and fresh lemon juice to the salad. People who want to follow this type of diet can also boil the carrots and serve them with spices.
