Ive tried crash diets and I realise now how stupid they are and I was. Anyways, here is the plan:
Morning: One large fruit smoothie consisting of milk, bananas, blueberries, almonds, strawberries , yogart and maybe some soy powder.
Lunch: One HUGE chicken salad with some cheese (not a lot), chicken, pecans, lettuce, mushrooms, tomatoes and peppers.
Afternoon snack: Soup (I get hungry the most in the evenings)
Dinner: Alternate between brown rice mixed with fried veggies and sweet and sour sauce, whole grain pasta and something that consists of many things like a stew or stirfry.
I am counting it to come out around 1000-1200 calories a day, but since I am so short and not big boned, it will fill me up a lot. I also am currently traveling, so I dont go to a gym, but I walk to and from a few hours everyday.
I gain weight very easily and lose weight very easily to.
Looking to hear some feedback!

Suggestion:
Be careful with the Soup – unless you make it yourself and know exactly what you are putting in it b/c soup is high in sodium and preservatives. Just b/c it is liquid and not filling, doesn't mean it won't work against you.
Also, Brown rice is better than white – but be careful with rice, pasta, white veggies, limit them as much as possible and if you are gonna eat them, do it earlier in the day.
Eat your bigger meals and meals that are kinda iffy (like the rice) early in the day – the earlier you eat them, the more time your body has to work them off. Eat your smallest meal at dinner time and make it a salad or something high in protein or maybe even switch the smoothie from breakfast to dinner – you don't want to carry all that food / excess around when your not so active or will be going to bed soon.
Exercise at least 30 min a day (minimum) and get that heart rate up!

Sounds good but you need to work out too! Try doing pilates or yoga.
that sounds pretty good… it's so important to get your 5 servings of fruits and veggies everyday.. watch the fruit, don't go over 2 servings a day if you're trying to lose weight. since fruit contains sugar too much can get in the way of your progress.
are you exercising also? that's a very important part of weight loss as well.
good luck!
that sounds good your diet is perfect but you need to exercise, you can do it at home or go out for a jogg do some stretches if you like whatever fit you best =] x.
