In this diet, breakfast is given in small portions, contains 290 calories and only 7 grams of carbohydrates, such as bread, fruit, cereal, and milk. And also, women in this diet method can eat up to 12 grams of protein in the morning, such as meat and eggs.

The second group, with a large portion breakfast diet method, the woman takes 1,240 calories per day, divided into 97 grams of carbohydrates, 93 grams of protein and 46 grams of fat (compared with the other group, this group ate less fat but more carbohydrates and protein every day). In this diet, breakfast was provided in large portions, and lunch is only given food by 395 calories while dinner is only 235 calories.
