Joanna's 3-Day Diet

We hooked Joanna up with 5 Squares (866-5-WE-COOK-), a New York food delivery service that dropped off five small meals each morning. She ate the first meal within 20 minutes of waking up, then one every three hours after that. Eating regularly meant Joanna didn't suffer cravings, and having food selected for her prevented emotional eating.

To her surprise, Joanna found it easy to subsist on about 1400 calories per day. " The flavorful, interesting food combos, like lemon-garlic fish, kept me from feeling deprived. And I learned to determine what a healthy portion looks like.
