Notes

Use low-sodium vegetable broth to reduce water retention. Do not overcook the vegetables to maintain texture. Limit the structured plan to 7 days and transition gradually to balanced meals with lean protein and whole grains. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Avoid adding high-fat ingredients during the reset phase.
