I really like this plan. It makes it simple, but I don't know if I could follow it exactly. Of course, I'm not trying to loose weight, but I want to eat healthier. I eat way too much fried food and not enough fruits and vegetables. I eat out of convenience.
Now, to convince myself to buy a $500 blender to make smoothies.
