Weight Loss & Tone: Curves Plan
Designed by founder Gary Heavin, the Curves Plan is based around two different diet meal plans:
· The Carbohydrate-Sensitive Plan, a high protein, low Carbohydrate diet.
· The “Calorie-Sensitive Plan, a 1,200 calorie a day that allows for slightly more carbohydrates.
The Curves Plan offers sample menus and recipes, which, if you stick to them, will almost guarantee you lose weight – whichever diet meal plan you choose you will be on severely restricted calories, and thus will quickly lose weight.
The key question is whether you will gain weight again once you come off the restrictive low calorie program.
