Quick Weight Loss - The 7 Day Diet Plan
The 7 Day Diet is a quite risky diet when it comes to your good
health and one that we cannot recommend. Basically, the daily menus
are based on one food group which leaves nutrition hanging in the
wind with a 'Please Help Me Quick Nitwit' sign.
 7 Day Diet - Day 1
Fruits. All fruits are allowed except bananas.
The first day starts with fruit because it is a natural way to
normalize the body and prepare it for the upcoming days of the
diet. Fruits have multiple benefits – they are fat free and are low in
calories compared to other foods most of us normally eat.
Tips to make Day 1 successful :
This way you don’t get bored eating just oranges or
apples. Try to start your day with a fruit/fruits in the melon
family such as watermelon, honeydew or cantaloupe since these
are very filling. For lunch and dinner you can eat an assortment
of oranges, apples or pears. Berries of any kind are really
beneficial too since they are very high in antioxidants that
assist the body in preventing certain types of cancers.
7 Day Diet - Day 2
Vegetables . Either stir-fry or salads. Start the day with one
baked or boiled potato to make up for loss of energy from Day
One. Upto one teaspoon of olive oil can be used as salad
dressing today.
This day starts off with a baked potato since all you have had
the previous day is fruit which is easily digested. The potato
ensures you have energy for the day as well as energy to
continue to remain on the diet. The vegetables you will eat
today are for fibre as well as nutrition. Vegetables have a
moderate quantity of carbohydrates - but more importantly, they
are rich in minerals and vitamins. The fibre activates your
system for the detox process.
Tips to make Day 2 successful :
Eat as many vegetables as you can today. You can also
have the " Wonder Soup ”. Because of the variety of flavors and
textures that vegetables offer, this day should not be
difficult. Vegetables can be steamed or
lightly stir-fried. An effective way to get the right
balance of taste and nutrition is to use a lot of flavour enhancers to your
stir-fry.
In one teaspoon of oil add lots of garlic and
finely chopped onions as well as parsley and shallots. To
this, add your choice of vegetables cut up into bite size
pieces. Stir fry for 5-8 minutes stirring lightly. Add a
few tablespoons of water if you find the vegetables sticking to
the pot. The stir-fry is one of the joys of this diet.
After eating only fruit on Day 1, you will welcome the stir-fry
- you might not even miss the rice/bread!
