7 day diet plan
Day 1 consists of eating fruits (other than bananas) and soup. Watermelon and watercress are better as they have very little calories and form part of a the fat burning diet.
Day 2 Eat as much veggies as you want. The green leafy vegetables are great. Also you can have lots of soup. Keep away from fruits for today. At dinner you can have baked potato and butter.
Day 3 You can eat lots of fruits, vegetables and soup. No baked potato today. By this time you could have lost a few pounds. Drink lots of water.
Day 4 is composed of bananas and milk: Stick to the soup diet and you can also eat bananas and drink milk. Bananas and milk have lots of calories and carbohydrates, but your body needs the potassium and carbohydrates.
Day 5 is mainly beef and tomatoes. You can take upto 1 pound of beef and a about 6 fresh tomatoes today. Have the soup at least once.
Day 6 is again vegetables and beef. Have green leafy veggies but keep away from baked potato. Make sure that your diet includes at least one serving of soup.
Day 7 Eat brown rice, fruit juice without sugar and lots of vegetables till your tummy is full.
Will this 7 day diet actually work?
This diet is again one of the fad diets that promise you that you can lose ten pounds in a week. Most of the weight lost is water and you will gain this back when you return to a normal diet. This diet is never sustainable in the long term as you cannot continue for long eating such a diet. The American Heart Association also considers this as a fad diet. Don’t go after the diets which claim to have a secret fat burning ingredient as they are all phoney. The real secret of weight loss is to eat right and to work out. Eat a healthy balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. Keep away from junk food. About exercise, do cardio - they are useful for weight loss. The American heart association recommends at least 40 minutes of cardio exercise on most days of the week.

One Response for "Sacred Heart Diet"
It seems that the recipe is tasty and easy to prepare. I truly believe that eating lots og veggies and fruits will help us lose weight easily. However, as mentioned in the last section of this article, the weight loss is water and you should be able to sustain to the diet as you will gain the weight again when going back to the normal diet.
