Quick Weight Loss - The 7 Day Diet Plan
 Other
quick weight loss 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!
-
7 day diet - day 3
Fruits and vegetables – as much as you want. No bananas and no
potatoes.
Day 3 is an effective way of combining days 2 and 3 and getting
the benefits of both days. Your body chemistry is changing
because you are not getting any refined carbohydrates, saturated
fats, excessive sodium and artificial flavour enhancers and
additives. Your body is getting completely natural
nutrition – which will optimize the weight loss process.
Tips to make Day 3 successful :
Start the day with fruit. Not only is fruit a great way to
start your day even when you are off the diet, it is a great way
to get some natural sugar into your body for energy for Day 3.
Eat any fruits of your choice except bananas. For lunch, have a
mixed salad with a balsamic and oil dressing (using no more than
one teaspoon olive oil). Alternately, you can have the vegetable
stir-fry (as described in Day 2). Don’t forget to eat the
" Wonder Soup ” whenever you want. It is a really good
supplement to your lunch/dinner vegetable stir fry.
-
7 day diet - day 4
Bananas and milk.
You can eat upto 8 bananas and 3
glasses of skim milk to restore potassium levels.
Day 4 is meant to make up for the reduced levels of calcium
(from milk), potassium (from bananas) and carbohydrates and
fibre (from bananas). Although you are allowed to have 8 bananas
today, you might not have the craving to eat all the bananas.
Tips to make Day 4 successful:
Remember, in addition to bananas and milk, you can also have
" Wonder Soup ” today. Start your day off with 2 bananas
and a glass of milk. For lunch, have a bowl or two of the soup.
The vegetables in the soup will give you a sensation of feeling
full. You can have another banana for desert today. Do the
same for dinner.
-
7 day diet - day 5
Protein and Tomatoes. You can have a piece of meat/fish either
grilled or baked for lunch and dinner with tomatoes.
Today is the day to make up for all the protein in your system.
The meat will give you protein and if you consume fish, you will
get your share of Omega 3 Fatty acids which do wonders for
health. The tomatoes give you fibre and minerals – in
particular lycopene which is a super-food for the human body.
Eating the tomatoes will also aid in flushing out the system .
Tips for making Day 5 successful:
Day 5 will go by smoothly if you enjoy eating meat or fish.
Vegetarians can substitute with tofu which is a rich source of
high quality vegetable protein. Start your day with
Wonder Soup or slices of tomatoes with salt and pepper.
For lunch and dinner you can grill or bake the meat/fish/tofu.
You can have this with the “wonder soup”. Try to eat
cold water fish such as Salmon or Tuna – both of these are
excellent sources of protein and contain the high levels of
Omega 3 Fatty acids beneficial to the body. Omega 3 Fatty
acids are one of the few compounds that the human body does not
produce on its own hence it is essential to get it from an
external source.
Remember to eat 6-8 fresh tomatoes today.
-
7 day diet - day 6
Protein and vegetables. Same as Day Five except, add more
vegetables either in salad or stir fry form.
Day 6 is a lot like Day 5 – only that you need to eat as many
vegetables instead of restricting yourself to tomatoes.
Tips to make Day 6 successful:
You can eat your meat/fish/salmon with vegetables (stir-fry
or salad) and " Wonder Soup ”. By now, your body is
well under way with the weight loss and you will notice a
difference in the way you feel and how your clothes fit today.
-
7 day diet - day 7
Fruits, vegetables and juices
Consume an assortment of fruits, vegetables and vegetable
juices. Half a cup of brown rice is optional – but not
recommended.
You are now on your last day of the diet. You might feel a
little weak this morning because your body has not consumed too
much carbohydrate in the last 2 days. Today, you can eat
fruits, vegetables and vegetable juices. Brown rice is optional
but not recommended if you want to see weight loss.
Tips to make Day 7 successful:
In order to make sure you end on a high note achieving your
target of weight loss coupled with a full body detox, you must
follow this last day carefully. Start your day with an
assortment of fruit – melons, apples, pears, oranges or berries.
Also, make sure you have enough fruit to last you through the
day in case you feel like snacking. Berries make a tasty
and convenient snack (blueberries and strawberries). For
lunch, you can eat a salad with a balsamic and oil dressing (not
more then one teaspoon olive oil). You can also have
unlimited quantities of vegetable juices – green juice with
spinach, kale, watercress and ginger or carrot juice with
wheatgrass. The juices do wonders for detox as well
as provide high quality concentrated nutrition. For
dinner, you can either eat fruits or a salad with " Wonder
Soup ".
Before you go to bed tonight, reflect on the last 7 days and
think about your strength and perseverance to stick to this
diet.
The benefits are tremendous – and affect more than the number
you will see on the scale the next morning or the difference in
the fit of your clothes. The change will be in the
functioning of your body which will be operating in an enhanced
manner due to the detox process.
