all the fruits you want.

you consume lots of melons
the first day.

consumption to melons, your
chances of losing one kg to
one and half kg on first day
are very good.

you are stuffed with all the raw or
cooked vegetables of your choice.

peas.

type.

you will start day two with a large
baked potato for breakfast.

pat of butter.

carbohydrates from the
fruits.

prepared to start burning
excess pounds.

vegetables of your choice.

No bananas yet. No
potatoes today.

eight bananas and drink three
glasses of milk.

bananas, milk and soup sound
the strangest and least
desirable.

probably will not eat all the
bananas allowed.

potassium you have lost and the
sodium you may have missed
the past three days.

Beef and tomatoes. The beef is for
iron and proteins, the tomatoes are

24. Post script…..
Most fad diets do not make any allowance for
maintaining the weight that is lost.
And, eventually, most dieters find the diet too
monotonous to stick to for the long term.
They then resort to bad dietary habits again.
Instead of merely yielding short-term results, a correct
and healthy diet programme should help you improve
your habits, so you can maintain the weight lost

25. Everyday……
Focus on improving your
dietary habits by having all
nutrients in moderation.
Make sure you have a
balanced diet.
This ensures that you get
your daily dose of
minerals, vitamins, fibre,
carbohydrate, protein and
fat etc.
Consult a qualified
dietician to work out a
diet plan tailor-made to
suit your lifestyle, body
type and health condition.
Exercise regularly
