The 4 Day Diet
From the title of the diet, it’s hard to
know what you are in for here. Do you eat for four days and
not after? Do you lose weight in four days? Keep reading and
find out the secret behind this diet from the mind of Dr. Ian
Smith.
You may have heard of Ian Smith before. He
came up with the 50 Million Pound Challenge. He charged
American citizens with the challenge to lose weight and fight
the obesity epidemic. So far, many people have been encouraged
to change their lifestyle.
The 4 Day diet plan works to reprogram your
body for better eating. The plan consists of seven modules
which last for four days each. Changing food choices is
supposed to stop boredom from setting in like it does with
many other eating plans that stress eating the same
foods.
The strictest module is the first one.
It’s reminiscent of the
South
Beach
diet. This is the induction phase. Your body eats foods that
are designed to detoxify your body. It’s like this: before you
can start again you have to get rid of what’s in there
already. The allowed foods and meals are detailed in the
book.
The second module is when eating habits
begin their transition. New foods are added like grains and
vegetables. You know you are on a diet, but the point is not
to deprive you but to teach you to become satisfied eating
healthier.
The next module adds in the protein. Good
health guidelines advocate eating lean meats, fish rich in
omega-3 fatty acids, and dairy products like eggs and milk.
Protein helps to build muscle fibers.
The fourth module lets you eat what you
want. The program does stress moderation here, but even for
four days eating pizza, burgers, fries, and sodas can be a
temptation that could continue beyond the four days. Also,
knowing that you only have four days to eat so well, you might
go crazy and eat too much which would set back any weight loss
up till that time.
Module five sees a return to a stricter
eating plan. It could be to combat the effects of module four
or just a reminder of how you should eat. Either way, it seems
to work for many.
Module six and seven also has restrictions.
This plan encompasses almost an entire month. The seven
modules can be done over and over again until you lose as much
weight as you need.
The plus is that you won’t get bored with
the food and any ingredients you buy for meals will eventually
get used. For the person not used to cooking, there is a fair
amount to do here. For the most part this plan is designed to
meet your nutritional needs. Constant switching could be a
problem for some
people.
