When I was in college, it was simply a trend to get thin. Boys or girls, men or women, as long as we meet each other in class, at lunch or even during karaoke, keeping fit (or losing weight) was always one of the hot topics. I could not even recall how many different diets that were circulating among classmates: soup diet, vegetable diet, meat diet, the secret hospital egg diet...
Yes, I tried them! (Maynot be all of them, but definitely more than few!)
And one of them is actually very effective, if you want to lose 5 pounds in 5 days, especially if you have a special event / function that you plan to attend to.
This diet contains heavily in meat, mild in vegetables/fruits, and yes, no carbonhydrate whatsoever.
So, here is the once very popular "lose 5 pounds in 5 days" diet:
DAY 1
BREAKFAST: 1 Grapefruit; 2 BIG Glass of Water
LUNCH: 16 oz. Grilled Pork; 6.oz Vegetables; 2 BIG Glass of Water
DINNER: 1 Banana; 1 SMALL Glass of Water
DAY 2
BREAKFAST: 1 Grapefruit; 2 BIG Glass of Water
LUNCH: 16 oz. Broiled Chicken; 12.oz Vegetables; 2 BIG Glass of Water
DINNER: 1 Grapefruit; 1 SMALL Glass of Water
DAY 3
BREAKFAST: 1 Grapefruit; 2 BIG Glass of Water
LUNCH: 16 oz. Grilled Steak; 6.oz Vegetables; 2 BIG Glass of Water
DINNER: 1 Banana; 1 SMALL Glass of Water
DAY 4
BREAKFAST: 1 Grapefruit; 2 BIG Glass of Water
LUNCH: 16 oz. Steamed Fish; 12.oz Vegetables; 2 BIG Glass of Water
DINNER: 1 Grapefruit; 1 SMALL Glass of Water
DAY 5
BREAKFAST: 1 Grapefruit; 2 BIG Glass of Water
LUNCH: 16 oz. Grilled Turkey; 6.oz Vegetables; 2 BIG Glass of Water
DINNER: 1 Banana; 1 SMALL Glass of Water
Dinner is supposed to be done before 8:00pm each day.
This diet sure helps me to lose weigh fast in few days, however, it has no scientific approval. And some of my friends whom tried it before only lose couple pounds than what they wanted. It may also make you feel tired if you have been a heavy eater and change your diet habit so drastically.
I will recommend that adding few more fruit items into the diet, especially when you feel real hungry and want to give up!
