Nutritional Guide
This diet is designed for weight loss in short amount of time. It is a tough one, but
will yield tremendous weight loss. This diet should be cycled in 6 weeks on and 3
months off. You may choose to continue on for 2 weeks after the challenge, but that
is completely up to you.
Simple.
But the beauty is the way we split it up accelerates metabolism and predominately uses fat as the fuel
source.
We are going to do what is called an 8/16 fast. You can eat for 8 hours of the day (following the
guidelines of course) and you will not eat (fast) for the other 16.
So if you start eating at noon, you stop at 8 pm. If you are a late night person you could start eating at
2pm and stop at 10pm and still reap all the benefits.
You can make adjustments to that timing of course, but here is the biggie: YOU MUST SKIP BREAFAST.
The second that food enters you system (with the exception of the coconut oil) you are putting fat
burning on hold.
That is why we will be skipping “the most important meal of the day” and choosing to burn massive
amounts of fat instead. This keeps insulin low (see below) for an extended period, and keeps the fat
burning hormones (including growth hormone) very high.
You will still take 1 teaspoon of MCT oil or 1 tablespoon (or 2) or coconut oil for the reasons mentioned
above, but for our purposes that will not interrupt our fast at all and will in fact encourage your body to
use its own bodyfat for fuel.
Carb Control
You will consume less than 50 grams of (net) carbs per day (that’s total carbs minus the fiber.) Here’s the
deal: Low Carb Works. There is just no disputing it.
Fat loss is dictated by our bodies hormones levels; primarily insulin. When insulin is high fat burning is
simply not possible. And when we eat carbs we secrete insulin and thus fat loss comes to a screeching
halt. So it is imperative we control insulin levels, but there is good news: We can control insulin directly
by controlling our carb intake. Problem solved.
But it can be dreadfully boring if you let it. I’m not exactly known for my culinary creativity, so get in the
kitchen and make the diet as exciting as you can. Just keep your carbs lower than 50 per day (even
closer to 30) and your body will be forced to burn off its reserve fuel source (your body fat) for fuel.
I know, I hear it all the time “But I *NEED * carbs…” No, you want carbs and there is a difference.
Decide what is more important, eating carbs or getting lean. Your call.
This one is just not that complicated so don’t make excuses, just make it happen.
Protein
Protein is VITALLY important on this program. You see our muscles are primarily composed of protein
(once you take out the water.) And we will be beating the living crap out of our muscles during this
program so we MUST supply the raw materials needed to rebuild and repair the (good) damage we
inflict. A good rule of thumb is 1g of protein per pound of lean bodyweight, but even this can get screwy
if we carry too much bodyfat - that is why I say a minimum of 100 - 120g per day for women and 130 -
180g per day for men.
Protein also takes twice as much energy to digest and assimilate as do carbs and fat, and it can also
blunt appetite. It also stimulates cognitive function.
Good sources are: Meats, chicken, turkey, fish, cottage cheese, (certain) protein powders, whole eggs,
and even (nitrite free) bacon. Be sure to go organic whenever you can. See the accompanying Food List.
You can have plenty of healthy and natural fat on this program. Obviously the coconut oil is allowed, as
well as things like avocadoes, nuts, meats, natural cheeses, butter (grass fed) and even bacon (so long as
it has not been heavily processed.) But you must AVOID anything that says it is hydrogenated or partially
hydrogenated.
If you train in the evening this can be trickier. You will need to NOT EAT for 3-4 hours prior to training.
You might be able to do it with only 2 hours as everyone’s gastric emptying flows at a different rate, but
you will have to be your own judge. If you feel your lunch in your stomach when you are working out
you either ate too much or did not wait long enough to train. You will probably screw this up a few
times before you get it right, but keep tweaking until you do. And of course remember the 8/16 rule as
well.
Two Exceptions: Take 1-2 TBS of coconut oil or ½ - 1 TBS of MCT oil 30 minutes prior to your workout.
As I stated this will encourage your body to use fat for fuel during your workout and give your
metabolism a nice little boost. Take a BCAA supplement before your workout to help promote muscle
maitnance.
Calories:
The component of this program I care LEAST about is the calorie levels. More and more research every
day says that calories are not as significant as we thought in the fat loss battle. What is important: Our
body’s hormonal environment (i.e. low insulin levels). And hey, we’ve already got that covered.
So for this program I have recommended 1200 cals for women and 1500 for men, but if you go a bit
higher and the other guidelines are still followed (low carbs, high protein, taking your coconut oil and
eating a good amount of healthy fat) I will be one happy trainer. Again, calories are pretty low on my
list of fat loss concerns.
Complete Accountability
Write it all down in a work book or a great app is fitness pal and then by texting athlima fitness at 403
607 1992, you will write down EVERYTHING you eat. This is the 4th way to accumulate points, STAY
accountable.
You will PRINT THESE OUT and bring these logs in with you to every fitness test week, or Email, or
Facebook me. Be sure to put your name on it as they all look the same.
Cheat Night
This is unquestionably the most awesome (or at the very least the most fun) part of this program: The
night when you throw all the rules out the window. From 6pm until bed feel free to eat whatever you
want. Optimally this would be a very high carb / low fat affair. Seriously – whatever you want. You see
when your body perceives calorie levels to be too low it shuts down fat burning as a preservation
mechanism. The cheat tells your body that calorie levels are still high so go ahead and burn some fat.
See the Cheating Guide for more info on how to optimize your cheat.
Coconut oil is a saturated fat. I can hear you now “But saturated fat is bad!” I can tell you with 100%
certainty that is a myth. The reasons why you have heard this falsehood over and over could fill a book
(and in fact it has) but for our purposes let’s stick with this: There are “trans fats” and there are
“saturated fats” and they are NOT the same thing. Trans fats are man-made garbage fats and are toxic
to humans. The safe level of trans fats in the diet is ZERO. Although MCT oild are isolated they come
from natural sources
Coconut oil has some SERIOUS benefits when it comes to fat loss. First off, its fat is primarily composed
of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) - most fats are long chain. This is significant for several reasons:
Here is how you will be using coconut oil and MCT oil. MCT oil should only be taken once a day to begin
(1 tbs) and increased to 1 tbs 2 times per day as your body gets accustomed to it: Coconut oil will be
taken in 1 tbs doses 2-4 per day, again start low and do more as your body gets accustomed. How
much will depend on you and how things shake out. Highly scientific I know, but we will be seeing what
works for you and tweaking it. FYI- there are no negative side effects to taking too much coconut oil, or
MCT oil. In higher doses has been known to cause stomach cramps, this is mostly due to the gut killing
bacteria and fungus.
• After you wake up - boosting metabolism and telling your body to use fat for fuel, setting the
tone for the day.
• 20-30 minutes prior to your workout - boosting metabolism and telling your body to use fat for
fuel for the workout (and beyond).
• 20-30 minutes prior to any meal - blunting appetite and blunting any insulin response
• Any time during your fast (see below) - blunting appetite, boosting metabolism and telling your
body to use fat for fuel.
You do not have to take it at EVERY one of those times, but first thing in the morning and prior to the
workout are the most important. (If you work out in the morning this could be just the one 1-2 tbs dose,
or .5 – 1 of MCT but then definitely take it another time during the day.) Thit is the MCT oil I take
I like MCT oil straight from the bottle. I use coconut oil with a spoon. If I take it alone I just scoop it and
eat it or put it in a smoothie.
At room temperature coconut oil is a very soft solid that is easily scooped out with a measuring spoon.
In the hotter months of the year it might be completely liquid – this is
just fine as coconut oil does not go bad (the only natural fat that
doesn’t.) Note: If you refrigerate it, it will be as hard as a rock. One
down side is the stuff is not particularly portable. To make my life easier
I keep a jar at home and a jar at the studio. Again, get the one at
Superstore or MCT atCommunity foods. Capsule are NOT acceptable.
This is the MCT oil. I take Alpha’s Supreme MCT Oil; it is 100% pure,
composed of 60% caprilic acid and 40% capric acid. The coconut oil I take switches, but always virgin
organic. The best price is at the superstore. Community foods has the best MCT oil I have found.
Some love the taste, some hate it, and some just tolerate it. If you absolutely can’t stand it, then don’t
take it, but it provides a ton of health benefits can accelerate fat loss considerably.
MCT oils generally contain only the capra fatty acids. Lauric acid is either missing, or present in
minuscule amounts. There are some key differences between MCT oil and coconut oil.
1. MCT comes from natural sources, like coconut oil. After all, coconut oil contains all four MCTs,
as well as a number of longer-chain fatty acids.
2. MCT oils, while being derived from natural sources, have to undergo a manufacturing process to
isolate medium chain fatty acids from other oils. The goal is to create potent sources of MCTs.
3. Coconut oil is 50% Lauric Acid (C12), whereas MCT Oil typically has very small amounts or no
amounts of Lauric Acid (C12).
Many health experts will claim that MCT oils are healthier than coconut oil, because of the greater
concentration of Caproic, Caprylic, and Capric acid – but this is still conteversial. Coconut oil and MCT oil
each have their own benefits and should be used accordingly. People who are looking for a way to
sustain energy and improve cognitive function should opt for MCT Oil, whereas people who are looking
for an antimicrobial agent and way to improve cognitive function should lean towards coconut oil. Both
are great for energy and other benefits listed above.
SIDE NOTE: A very small percentage of users may experience some “gastic distress” when consuming
coconut oil, and MCT oil, this is largely due to killing off the bad bacteria in the gut. The simple solution
is to start with a smaller dosage (1 tsp) and work your way back up.
Supplementation
Supplement only when you are lacking nutrition in your diet, the following are some suggestions for
supplementation
• Protein Powder, when you are not getting enough protein through diet
Click here whey
Vegan protein
• Essential oils oils
• BCAA Enhances muscle recovery and repair post-workout Helps control blood sugar and
insulin Promotes, the use of glucose rather than proteins for energy, Promotes muscle
maintenance even without exercise If you are doing intermittent fasting, use a bcaa
supplement before your workout. http://www.globalvitamins.ca/bcaa
• Multi vitamin. This never hurts; it helps assimilate micro and macro nutrients and makes you
feel better. If your pee is florescent yellow due to supplementing a multi, come see me. You
are probably taking garbage. http://www.globalvitamins.ca/categories/Vitamins this is what I
take http://www.globalvitamins.ca/products/ORTHO.CORE.html or multi basics
• Check out my Vitamin site for the best the supplement market has to offer
www.globalvitamins.ca

use code Mmafc on check out and receive 15% off your order. You can pick up your order the
next day at the studio. Choose local pick up as your shipping option.
Yes, this is my company and for all intents and purposes I want you to support me, but it is to your
benefit that I sell only sell AOR products, and some sequel products. Both are Canadian based and both
are ethically manufactured in Canada.
Other Considerations
There are a few other things to keep in mind. When drop your carb ratio, it is easy to just live off of
meat and cheese. That can be fine for a while, but the lack of fiber can back you up quickly. The easier
way to keep things “moving” is to make sure you eat plenty of low carb but fibrous vegetables everyday.
When that doesn’t happen, consider a pyslium fiber product. A couple of table spoons in mixed
thoroughly water before bed tastes like saw dust but will get thing going again.
http://www.globalvitamins.ca/products/SOLU%252dFIBRE.html
The other thing is water. Here is my advice: Drink more. To fully optimize this plan you should drink a
2- 4 liters per day. Yes, you will pee a lot if your not use to it. The deal is your body functions best when
fully hydrated, plus the processing of fat (fat burning) happens most easily when properly hydrated.
This will also reduce water retention under the skin. Also we have the added benefit the extra water
aiding in detoxing your body over the next 6 weeks. Body fat can store toxins, and when you are
burning fat at a high rate (which you will) you are also potentially releasing more toxins. Know this:
More water will not make you burn more fat. But not enough water will stop fat burning in its tracks.
Diet #2. The Hand Diet
Diet 2, is designed as a more sustainable and very easy diet to follow. It is a portion controlled diet
that works very well for some. It is defiantly worth a try. You might not lose as much weight as diet
one, but, to each their own. You could try 2 diets from these options, during the 6 week cycle and see
which works best.
For veggies like broccoli, spinach, salad, carrots, etc. use a 1-2 hand full size..
If you’re including extra carbohydrates in a meal – like grains, starches, or fruits – use a 1/2 cupped
hand to determine your serving size.
If you’re including extra fats in a meal – like oils, nut butters, nuts/seeds – use your entire thumb to
determine your serving size.
1-2 cupped-hand sized portion of Fruits fir snack if you’re including them.
Other Measurements
For a 1200-1500 calorie diet (good for weight loss) 1200 optimal
Please still only drink tea, coffee or water for fluids and please follow the other food guidelines.
• MCT’s and coconut oil should also be taken with this diet. Please check diet 1 for details.
• Intermidant fasting can also be done with this diet.
• For weight loss limit grains in this diet and supplement with greens.
• Supplements mentioned above should also be a consideration for this diet.
• Please visit www.myfitnesspal.com to keep track of your calories and portions, its free and a
great app. Otherwise write it all down on the journals sheets I provide.
Diet # 3
The Fast Metabolism Diet by Haylie Pomroy (Author) Indigo
I chose this diet as a choice for those who would like to follow the coat tails of my many clients and
family members who tried it and all lost a significant amount of weight in only 4 weeks. I suggest you do
this diet after trying diet #2 for 1 or 2 weeks, this will give you the opportunity to read up on this diet
and purchase the book which is highly recommended.
My wife and her cousin will be doing this diet through the fitness challenge and each week will make a
shopping list and menu that you can copy and follow. The cook book and the Fast metabolism book are
a must for this diet. Again please try this diet 1 to 2 weeks into the challenge
The Fast metabolism diet is written my author Haylie Pomroy who has helped countless clients lose up
to 20 pounds in just 4 weeks –all through the fat-burning power of food. Haylie reminds us that food is
not the enemy, it’s the rehab needed to rev-up your sluggish, broken-down metabolism and turn your
body into a fat-burning furnace.
On this plan you’re going to eat a lot. You’re going to eat three full meals and at least two snacks a day –
and you’re still going to lose weight. What you’re not going to do is count a single calorie or fat gram.
You’re going not to ban entire food groups. You’re not going to go carb-free or vegan or go cold turkey
on the foods you love. Instead, you’re going to rotate what you’re eating throughout each week
according to a simple and proven plan carefully designed to induce precise physiological changes that
will set your metabolism on fire.
By keeping your metabolism guessing in this specific and deliberate way, you’ll get it working faster. This
isn’t just a theory; it’s the results-based product of Haylie Pomroy’s successful programs. It’s worked for
celebrities, for athletes, and for people with chronic illnesses who need to lose weight, doctor’s orders.
Now it’s going to work for you.
In 4 weeks not only will you see the weight fall off, you’ll also see your cholesterol drop, your blood
sugar stabilize, your energy increase, your sleep improve, and your stress dramatically reduce. All thanks
to the miraculous power of real, delicious, satisfying food!
Plus, by switching up what you’re eating every few days, you’ll get to enjoy a greater variety of foods, so
your palate will never feel bored or deprived. Complete with 4 weeks of meal plans and over 50
recipes – including vegetarian, organic, and gluten-free options – this is the silver bullet for the chronic
dieter who has tried every fad diet and failed, the first time dieter attempting to kick her metabolism
into gear, and anyone who wants to naturally and safely eat her way to a skinner, healthier self.
Diet #4
The Vegetarian diet plan for weight loss is not just to lose weight, but it is also a maintenance
method for a slim and proportionate body. Along with these, it will help you practice eating
vegetables and fruits which will help to boost up the metabolic rate. Vegetarian diets and weight loss
go hand it hand. It is the healthiest and the fastest way to shed pounds. This vegetarian diet program has become
famous around the world. Every one is addicted to it, it actually works!
The fact that dieters have to drink up to 2 liters of water each day is a great way to help digestion
and wash away the toxins. If you detoxify your body regularly, it will help in faster digestion and
regular elimination of toxins in the form of urination and bowel movements, which lead to
eventual weight loss.
• Fosters digestion- The best way to ensure fast digestion is by consuming high fiber
foods like fruits and vegetables, which are low in Since the Diet is all about consuming a
humongous amount of fruits and vegetables, it aids in digestion, as the foods are easily
assimilated by the body.
Foods need an adequate amount of water to dissolve into nutrients. The digestion process is
much easier with regular water intake. The water intake aids in the assimilation of nutrients and
also utilizes the reserved energies for boosting for metabolism though this weight loss diet.
• Easing bowel movement- One of the chief reasons why people are overweight is that
they are unable to get rid of the wastes trapped in the body. We eat unhealthy low- fiber
foods which remain in our body, causing unmitigated harm.
But the Veg weight loss diet ensures we eat a lot of high fiber foods and water to flush away the
toxins in a regular manner. Bowel problems, for instance constipation, can thus be easily avoided
by the help of The GM Diet.
Is this Vegetarian Diet backed by science? It’s a question most of us ask ourselves. The fiber
filled diet ensures that you keep your hunger pangs at bay, for a longer period. Vegetables and
fruits are chock-a-block with all kinds of essential vitamins and minerals, and meet the
nutritional requirements of the body.
The diet is rich in complex carbohydrates like brown rice, which is high in essential nutrients
like magnesium, potassium, calcium and fiber, while still having a paltry amount of fat.
In this diet, you can only have chicken, supplement chicken or tofu which is low in fat. What the
right amount of protein does is that it increases the metabolic rate and burns fat.
Another thing that works for the diet is that you do not have to limit the amount of food you eat,
just the kind of foods you eat. That works fine for most of us, as we do not have to feel deprived.
It is only when we feel deprived that we go on a binging spree. Also, having frequent small
meals and increasing water intake boosts metabolism and aids in fat loss.
Advantages Of GM Diet Plan:
vegetarian diet plan The aim of the program is to gain a healthy body. You can expect the
following things by practicing this Diet Plan regime:
All these in just 7 days! It is a miracle diet plan! At the beginning, it may sound a bit impossible
to follow it, but just 7 days of dedication will bring you a healthy body. If you successfully
complete these 7 days, you will definitely love the results. You would never want to break the
diet regime, because you know the worth of it. Just to make sure that you are healthy enough to
practice this diet, consult your doctor before you begin.The Vegetarian Plan:
This Diet Plan includes the intake of fruits, vegetables and starch. To prepare yourself for the
vegetarian GM diet plan, you need to avoid alcohol for a few days. Especially in the time of the
diet schedule and before it. This is a very important tip you need to follow. Alcohol increases the
uric acid in the body, which leads to water retention. This blocks the natural detoxifying process
from taking place.
It is also very essential that you drink up to 10 glasses of water everyday. As you will not be
consuming the same amount of carbohydrates which you normally do. Water will be your main
source of energy for the whole day. It will also boost your metabolism and remove the unwanted
pounds from the body, naturally. In case you have already tried this diet plan, it is better to take a
break for 2 to 3 days before you resume the diet again. This will help the body to adjust to the
new method of nutritional intake, which will also relieve your body from any kind of anxiety.
Here is what you have to do for the 7 days of your Diet Plan.
Being the first day, it is always the hardest. Try to keep yourself away from all kinds of cravings
as you will be consuming only fruits. You can consume all the fruits, excluding grapes, bananas,
litchi and mangoes. You can have them in any quantity you like. It is suggested that you
consume more watermelon, lime, oranges, apples, pomegranates, strawberries and melons. You
can eat 20 times a day, but you should eat only fruits.
This is the way of preparing your body for the upcoming days. The only source of nutrition is
from the fruits, they provide you will all that you need for your body. If you prefer to cut them
up and eat, its great but make sure you aren’t adding anything else to it. Its just a ‘pure fruit for
me’ day! If you can limit your fruit intake to only melons, your have a good chance of losing 3
pounds on your first day.
Like the first day, the second day is ‘All veggies day’. You can eat nothing but vegetables and
only vegetables. You can eat to your heart’s content, feel your stomach filled up with vegetables
if you need to. Boiled or raw vegetables will do. You can even begin your day with a boiled
potato and a tea spoon of butter. This is done in order to give the body enough energy and
carbohydrates for the day. But after that only raw and boiled vegetables.
Only one potato this day is enough, don’t consume more than that. Adding a pinch of oregano or
basil seasoning to make the vegetables more edible is perfect. Day 2 is a calorie free day with a
good amount of fibre and nutrients. If you make it through day two, you are definitely dedicated!
Day 3 is a combination of day 1 and 2. You can eat the mentioned fruits and vegetables. Eat any
quantity and any amount you like and drink lots of water as directed. You need to avoid potatoes
on day 3 as you are getting enough carbohydrates supply from the fruits. Your system is all set to
burn the excess pounds. Your cravings may try to dominate, but think about the weight loss and
the great results. You will feel light and happy by this time.
You can also have one cup of a highly diluted soup for a meal. The soup should consist of
capsicum, onions, garlic and tomatoes. It is a tasty and healthy recipe which will help in the
weight loss process. You can drink it only 1 time a day, it is only to refresh your taste buds from
all the vegetable and fruit intake. Be careful to resist yourself. You are just 3 days away from a
losing weight!
Day 5 is a festival day for you, as you can have a tasty meal. You can munch on tomatoes,
sprouts and cottage cheese, also known as paneer in India. You can also add soya chunks to your
meal. Make a tasty soup with the mentioned ingredients and drink it. Make sure to increase your
water intake on day 5.
You can eat up to 6 tomatoes and increase the water intake with 1/4 of the daily consumption.
This is done in order to cleanse your body from uric acid. The tomatoes are for the fibre and
digestion process. The water will purify your body from all kinds of toxins.
Day 6 is a little different to day 5. You will be eating sprouts, cottage cheese and other
vegetables but by excluding tomatoes. No tomatoes on day 6, avoid them. The tasty soup and
lots of water should help you through your day. Vegetables will provide vitamins and fibre to
your body. You will already notice change in your body by this time. Continue consuming a
good amount of water everyday.
The last and final day of the diet plan. This is the most important day. You will be feeling light
on your toes and happy inside out. You can have fresh fruit juice, one cup of brown rice or half
chapathi and other vegetables you would want to eat. You can complete your day with the
consumption of water.
That is the whole diet plan for 7 days. If you can follow it strictly, no one can stop you from
gaining a healthy and slimmer body. The below tips will help you to plan your 7 days
effectively.

away!
A Few Points to Consider Before you Start with this Diet Plan
This diet Plan has been met with unprecedented success. The fact that you can lose weight within
the stipulated period of a week has struck a chord with most weight watchers. That you can lose
weight by just following a diet for seven days is unthinkable for most people who have had a
tough time shedding the extra kilos. But there are questions galore which bamboozle most
people, especially regarding the kind of foods they are supposed to eat.
Since this diet is a rather radical one, it’s difficult for many to follow as it is tough for them to
give up on their favorite foods. The most difficult part being the day 1 and 2 diet chart, when you
have to stick to just fruits and vegetables respectively. We already know exactly what to eat
though, or do we? It is best to clarify the foods which you have to strike off at least for that one
week.
• No Sugar and salt in moderation- Refined stuff is a strict no-no, and when it comes to
sugar, it is best if you stick to natural sweeteners, like raw honey or stevia. Steer clear of
refined table salt and choose rock salt or the Himalayan pink salt. Common salt has fallen
out of favor recently as it results in a depletion of important minerals from your body at
the cellular level.
• Tea and coffee in moderation- Herbal teas are recommended, but too much of coffee is
not something that we would advise. Also, stay away from alcohol.
• Substitute of milk- There are many people who are not too fond of milk, they can easily
substitute milk with buttermilk and yogurt.
• No wheat or chapattis allowed in the diet- This diet is largely a gluten-free diet, so
staying away from wheat and other processed forms of wheat should be the order of the
diet!
• Stay away from processed food- As much as you can, stay away from processed food
which is full of chemical additives. That includes fruit juice, soup and the so-called
much-touted healthy stuff. Cooking home-cooked should be the norm. To get results, you
have to cook healthy to eat healthily.
• A tight rein on dry fruits and nuts- Since calories are severely restricted in this diet, you
will do yourself a favor if you stay away from dry Even though they are full of nutrition,
their calorific value is also high. Plus, delicious as they are, you cannot just stick to a
handful.
• Stay away from the wrong kind of fat- Fats have unduly got a lot of flak in the recent
past. But recently, the importance of good fats has gained prominence. Eat good fats like
coconut oil, MCT oil, ghee and so on. Fats help in transporting fat-soluble vitamins A, D,
E and K through the bloodstream to where they are needed. They also raise good HDL
cholesterol, lower bad LDL cholesterol, and protect against the buildup of plaque in your
arteries. What’s more? They help prevent belly fat, according to research. Include good
fats and definitely eliminate bad fats like vegetable oils, soybean oil and so on.
• Stick to a healthy lifestyle once you are done with the diet- Once the seven days are over,
you need to maintain a quality lifestyle, by eating healthy and exercising regularly. Also,
if you need to shed some more weight, give it a break for one week or two and then you
can start this diet all over again.
• Allergic to bananas- Some people reach day 4 without much ado, but as soon as they
reach day 4 of the diet plan, they find it difficult to eat just banana and milk. Bananas are
very nutritious. They are full of fiber, potassium, and sodium, but if you want to skip
bananas you can also have papayas. Apricots, figs, nectarines and dates can be a feeble
substitute for bananas, but remember what we said about dry fruits, so stick to just eight a
day.
Once you get results, you will be encouraged to try this diet a few more times. So if you want to
shed those stubborn kilos, this diet is tailor-made for you. It might be a fast-paced diet and a little
difficult to follow considering the radical changes you have to make to your diet, but it sure will
help you reach your weight-loss goals within a very short time!
