Kathy's Three Day Marie Callender Diet



I use this diet to drop a few pounds when needed. If you are sick of cooking,
this "diet" can be a real treat. I like to eat. It is important to me to have a variety
of low cal but tasty food. Price is important as well. I came up with this easy diet
and it works well for me. A big plus is "no dirty dishes". Yay!

Walmart has Marie Callender's for $2.50 each, but William just called from MO
and they were $1.89 there!

To lose weight: To take off 1 pound per week, you need to create a "deficit" of 500 calories per day. You can do this by eating 250 fewer calories a day (for example, cut out a 20-ounce bottle of regular soda) and burning an extra 250 calories through physical activity (for example, walk for 2.5 miles). Another way to cut back on calories is to watch your portion sizes.

I don't work for or get paid by Marie Callender's but I should own stock in the company. Wally World in Fargo has to reorder MC's frozen dinners after I shop.

Marie Callender's frozen meals are healthy and low calorie.

Calorie and Nutrition information for popular products from Marie Callender's:

Take vitamins while you diet. Use a good multivitamin.

Sumo Wrestlers force their bodies to gain enormous amounts of weight.
They start the fat gaining day by skipping breakfast to slow down their
metabolism. So for Heaven's sake, don't skip breakfast when you diet.

Good Luck with your diet, leave a comment and let me know how it goes.

  1. I like the look of this eating plan. Nice and easy for me and no chance of tasting what you cook, thus adding extra calories to the day. Also found the fact about the sumo wrestler interesting. Just read it to my non breakfast eating daughter:) Thanks
