The plan recommends that you eat four meals per day, and every meal is constructed as a puzzle that contains the same five pieces. The pieces are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. <\/strong>Produce (Fruit at breakfast and snack meals, vegetables at lunch and dinner)<br \/>\n<strong>2.<\/strong> Fiber<br \/>\n<strong>3.<\/strong> Lean protein (Includes vegetarian, vegan and omnivore choices)<br \/>\n<strong>4. <\/strong>Plant-based fat<br \/>\n<strong>5.<\/strong> Slimming and satiating seasonings (vinegar, citrus juice, cinnamon, ginger, ect.)<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Once you know the five pieces and the amounts of each to eat, dieting becomes much simpler. You can even work your way around a restaurant menu and still stay on the diet. For many, however, the best part of this diet is that Cynthia recommends eating <a title=\"Dark Chocolate High Blood Pressure\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/07\/dark-chocolate-is-good-for-high-blood-pressure\/\" target=\"_self\">dark chocolate<\/a> every single day.
