The Stop Smoking Diet begins with a week’s worth of Stop Smoking Diet Breakfast menus. Each of the meals is planned in such a way that it can help you start your day on the alkaline side. All the menus are interchangeable. This means you can switch them around any way you like. You can, for instance, have the Tuesday breakfast on Friday or the Saturday breakfast on Wednesday. Or, if you prefer, you can choose one particular menu that you feel especially comfortable with and have that meal for breakfast each day. Many people are creatures of habit when it comes to breakfast, and they look forward to having the same thing every day. You may be one of them.
Each of the Stop Smoking Diet Breakfast menus has a choice of Basic Coffee or black coffee. The reason for this is that the caffeine present in coffee can help keep off pounds in much the same way that nicotine does. And you want to do all you can to keep your weight in check after you have begun to cut down on cigarettes. If you do not like to drink coffee, have tea instead.
Each of the menus for Stop Smoking Diet Breakfasts is, of course, planned with an eye to calorie control. But there are many people who need to start the day with a fairly substantial meal. If you are one of these, just include the food which appears in italics on the menu. This gives you what extra nourishment you need and is at the same time low enough in calories to help you avoid any sudden weight gain.
