Better Blood Sugar Meal Plan
To help you stabilise your blood sugar levels (and lose weight), Mollie Katzen, co-author of Eat, Drink and Weigh Less, created this seven-day, 6700kj meal plan exclusively for Women's Health. Stay steady by eating within two hours of waking up and then every three hours or so after that. Do 30 minutes of moderate exercise on five of the days and you could lose half to one kilogram a week.

Lunch (1pm)

5 olives (optional)
1 orange or 2 small naartjies
Snack (4pm)

250ml glass low-fat or fat-free milk (optional)
