I found this diet plan for a quick way to slim down.
Is it legit…? Would it work? I would like to get into pilates/yoga and change my diet, so let me know what you think of this diet I found on a site:
"Step 1
Detox is the way to go. Cleanse the colon and help your liver. Your liver is your filter, you have to take care of this thing or your body will get stuck with fattening toxins
Step 2
To take care of your liver, I am going to list the foods you will only eat for one week. Mix them up, find recipes and get creative. But remember to stick to just these foods and remember to portion correctly
- cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, broccoli
- parsley, kale, watercress, chard, cliantro, collards
- orange or lemon, lime juice (no grapefruit!)
- garlic, onions, eggs
- artichoke, asparagus, beets, celery, whey
- 1 time a day eat a serving (the size of the palm of your hand)of protein
- olive oil or flaxseed oil
Step 3
For your Colon eat and use the following:
- carrot, apple, pear, berries
- powdered psyllium husks, milled or ground flaxseeds
Step 4
Drink Filtered water cut with Organic Cranberry juice
Only drink that through out the day. And drink as much of it as you can to flush out the toxins (the more you drink the more you help get rid of cellulite)
Step 5
NO SUGAR, NO WHITES, NO ALCOHOL, NO CAFFEINE
STICK TO ORGANIC AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
Step 6
Stick to this diet and I promise the inches will start to melt off. Weight will follow. Your clothes will start to get big on you and you are going to feel AWESOME.
You should do the cleansing diet once every month. I personally just try to eat these foods no matter what and all I drink is water and organic cranberry"
I am not fat or overweight. I am wanting to get like…really slim though, so would this be a good diet for that? Or is it junk?
If you just want to get slim sure. However eating more protein will help you feel fuller for longer. When I needed to drop about 20 lbs I did this:
Breakfast : Carb and protein breakfast. Quesh, Omelet and wheat toast, or a BLT on wheat toast were my favorites.
Lunch: Salad with lots of veggies and some sun flower seeds or a small can of chicken with a vinaigrette or a reduced calorie dressing like Catalina was always good.
Dinner: Eat light. A can of soup will do wonders.
Snacks: celery with chunky peanut butter. (it has fewer calories then the smooth does.) Yogurt and Graham crackers, or one of the right bite packages of gold fish crackers, and of course fruit.
Drink lots or water no matter what diet you chose. Also remember it’s not the end of the world if you eat something not on your diet. Allowing your self to cheat a little helps you stay on track.
Trust me I went from a size 18 to a size 12 this way. I’m going back on it too since I gained more weight recently so I can get down to a size 8-10. (I’m 5′10" so that’s actually a fairly healthy size for me)
