Strict diet-plan
 

Dear All,

What do you feel about this plan ?


Breakfast; 1 slice of bread( not white) with cheese + milk

Lunch; fruit, vegetables and water + 2 slices of bread (not white)

Dinner; Chicken or veal combined with vegetables, no bread, no rice, no pasta, no potatoes.

Would it kill my appetite ?

Thanks, BR LASSE

wow. why are you going that strict? Is it to lose some #'s quickly? Just my opinion, but I would consider adding fruit & veggies to all three meals, take the bread away from all but 1 (make sure it is a multi-grain bread) and add some more protein. Good luck!

Sounds very hard to stick with. I agree with ter22ese's comments.

EEK! You might be able to spend the rest of your days eating this menu every day, but I definitely couldn't. IMHO, it looks like an accident waiting to happen. Too strict, not sustainable. But, I really enjoy food and want to continue to enjoy eating, just not the way I used to eat. Not a lot of fats, not a lot of sugar, not a lot of junk. Just good, balanced food with as many nutrients I can cram in. And a skinny cow ice cream sammich sometimes.

Translating that to exchanges so I can get an idea of portions...

Breakfast;

1 starch
1 milk
1 fat

Lunch;

1 fruit
1 vegetables
2 starch

4 protein
2 vegetables

Too low.

The exchanges for 1200 (minimum!) are

Nothing wrong with doing a pattern like the exchange system, but I'd go to 1200 to start and don't be surprised if it needs to be higher.

Remember that you need to eat to burn calories- so if you restrict too much you could just end up lowering your metabolism and not losing anything.

I see in your first thread you want to lose 15 kilos in 4 months- which is 33 lbs. That's basically just over 2 lbs a week.

Do you mind posting your current weight? I think that is too little food and there is virtually no protein in your breakfast.

As for killing your appetite IMO I think it would make you go crazy and binge after a few days.

Following a sensible diet plan and exercise schedule, depending on your weight- you can lose 1-2 lbs a week.

I keep beating this drum, but I think it's important: even if you don't have stomach pangs after the first three days, it doesn't mean that you aren't hungry--"hungry" can come out as irritable, absent-minded and tired. After a few weeks of irritable, absent-minded, and tired, people snap and go back to "normal".

You would probably lose weight on that diet, but you would lose [/i]the exact same amount[/i] on a diet with a lot more food involved--especially protein.

You really want to avoid "if some is good, more is better" type thinking--that's what leads to diets where people eat nothing but celery and drink 200 oz of water a day.
