The best low-cost summer meal plan for weight loss
When it is summer we often struggle for meals to make which are low syn and don’t involve too long preparing in the kitchen. That is where this summer meal plan comes in. There is nothing worse than standing in a hot kitchen for hours preparing food is there? Instead, why not relax in the garden or read a book?
As with all my other meal plans, which you can find here, this tasty meal plan includes easy to buy ingredients that you can pick up for a relatively low cost.
All of the healthy lunches are easy for work or even a picnic and can be made in advance if needed.
