Day 8-13: Repeat menu from days 1-6 again. You must follow this diet to the letter for full effect. Diet is designed to help you lose 18 lbs and increase your metabolism to prevent it from coming back.

Upon completion of the diet you may resume normal eating, but be sensible.

Note: Where portions are not outlined, you may use your judgment based on your appetite.

Should you get hungry, you may have any citrus fruits or green apples. Drink plenty of water throughout the day and non-sweetened tea or flavored seltzer.

i&#x27;ve read some pretty convincing research on how diet is just as bad as regular soda (besides the calories). if you have already stopped drinking regular soda you might as well make the jump to completely shutting it out of your diet or at the minimum drink it very sparringly. 3-4 months to drop from 190-170 is certainly possibly if you were that overweight in the first place. just be consistent and do it in a healthy manner.

I switched to "Talking Rain" and other similar products that are like soda water that is flavored but has no sugar or calories...

sharpaction · Answer

Your diet plan looks good. I would cut out the diet soda because even though it does not contain any sugar, your body will still release insulin when it is consumed because the artificial sweetner will trick the body into thinking it is consuming a sugary beverage and insulin is a fat storing hormone. I think if you cut out the diet soda you can lose more weight faster than if you continued to drink it.

TheStakes · Answer

Your diet is entirely too extreme. You&#x27;re going to lose too much weight too fast and still look sloppy.

Timdog, i recently stopped drinking soda's because they were also killing me.

I have now switched over to lots of water, but for a soda buy some zevia, it has stevia in it. No sugars at all and it tastes just like regualar pops. On top of that stevia is actually good for you.

You need to move away from this three meals a day plan. Look into diets that involve five medium/small meals a day. This will not only rev up your metabolism but help keep a constant source of protein in your body to help increase muscle function and even possibly build new muscle depending on your workout.

I eat a good breakfast, that holds me over until Lunch and then I use a product called Natraburst which is a super food powder I mix with milk. That acts and works as a meal replacement. I usually get hungry around 5 pm and eat a lighter dinner. I work out 4 days a week, treadmill and light weights/pushups. Its working!

I am 5'9, now weigh 201, I was 207 a couple months ago. Feel MUCH better and still going. My goal is to get to 190lbs.

My family doctor who is retired at 69 is having major kidney problems. They believe it is attributed to the massive amounts of Mountain Dew he drank. I know him and he drank it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and between meals! He even used it for his mixed drinks. He has granular powder which was detected in his system and they think it is the artificial sweetener that has linger in his system. Just sayin.....

Diet soda is worse than regular, it has aspartame.&#xD;&#xA;12 sodas a day must have been thirty, as soon as&#xD;&#xA; you stop drinking soda, and start drinking water&#xD;&#xA;you barely get thirsty.

cd2010 · Answer

Just found a vid on youtube that say one diet soda a day can increase risk of stoke by 48% (source: CBS early show by Dr Jennifer Ashton)
