The Free 10 Day Diet Planner
Overview - Continued
  
BEGINNING YOUR DIET
Begin your diet on any day of the week,
but stick with the plan! It’s only for 10 days so this is
a piece of cake – angelfood cake that is. Weekends tend to
be the toughest when dieting for most people. So much temptation,
so little time. Therefore, you may wish to begin on a Wednesday.
If you begin your diet on a Wednesday,
then you’ll only have to make it through one weekend. By the
time you hit the second weekend, you’ll discover that a) you’ve
lost weight and you’re on a natural high to continue your diet,
and b) you can take the weekend to celebrate your weight loss by
shopping for that new slimmer outfit you’ve earned! c) Eating
out to celebrate is also a GREAT reward! Even doing Mexican!
Fajitas are definite thumbs up as a healthy alternative!
Weigh at the beginning of the diet and
don’t weigh again until the first morning after your diet ends.
In other words, if your diet ends on a Friday, don’t weigh
until Saturday morning.
You can switch any breakfast for any breakfast
OR any snack for any snack OR any lunch for any lunch OR any dinner
for any dinner. If you don’t like breakfast, then don’t add these
items later in the day. The reason is because it’s just too
hard for your body to burn off calories late in the day. So
start smart with a good breakfast! Do NOT substitute lunches
for dinners.
All of these meals are prepared with normal
everyday food that’s generally found in almost everyone’s kitchen.
If you would like to trim back even more, feel free to substitute
the no-calorie refrigerated butter spray for margarine, or the blue
or pink packs for sugar, or the light Mayo for the full blown deal
– or better yet, mustard!
Use creamers, butter, margarine, and salad
dressings VERY sparingly. These fat teasers have about 50
to 100 calories a serving for a minimal amount. They are camouflaged
and dressed to kill, so be forewarned. In fact, if you can’t
control the amounts on these additives, then please don’t use them
at all because your weight loss will be minimal.
Another cool tool you can supplement is
seasoning via way of herbs, lemons, oranges and extracts. It’s
time to experiment with flavor!
During your diet, try to measure out the
amounts of sugar and cream and other ingredients you are putting
into and onto your food. What you discover might shock you.
For the most accurate measure on dry ingredients, simply pour
the ingredient into an empty cup, then into a measuring spoon. For
the liquids, pour the recommended amount into a measuring spoon
rather than the cup or entree, then add to your drink or food. You
can then judge by using sight and/or taste to see if you’ve been
naughty in the past.
Be sure and take a multi-vitamin and additional
calcium and Vitamin C supplements.
Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day,
but don’t over-do. There was some controversy a few months
back regarding the death of long-distance runners due to an excessive
intake of water without the correct minerals to balance things.
Water is great, but without the potassium, calcium and sodium
to balance the act, your body can quickly go haywire!
Try to eat dinner BEFORE six in the evening.
If you experience any type of physical
problem, such as dizziness, contact your physician. Again,
we cannot be held liable for any medical condition you may experience
while on this diet.
Okay, with all of that out of the way,
let’s get started with SNACKS. We’re excited and hope that
you are too! Just think, in 10 days you’ll be a much thinner
you. Let’s get going.
