Keep Trim

I read the book and there is no menu for the Keep Trim week. You can plan your own menu keeping in mind what are the foods you can and can't eat. I followed the SMD plan and added a few extra ingredients each day.

Click on the links below to see what I prepared for lunch and dinner:

Here are the rules you have to follow on KT weeks.

Switch to Keep Trim Eating for two weeks, where you plan your own menus for two weeks, with a list of additional foods permitted, and higher calories.
If at the end of two weeks on Keep-Trim Program, you need to lose more pounds, return for two more weeks on SMD. Under this unique Two-On-Two-Off program, you continue to lose weight safely and sensibly until you reach your desired weight.
When you have reached the healthy, slim, trim weight you will have begun to develop the good eating habits that can help you trim for a lifetime.
