It took me months before I finally discovered the diet program that worked for me. I am endorsing this program because I know that it is truly effective. But of course, you still have to consult your family physician before commencing.
Below is the program that I have adopted:
- I ate several times a day, but these are small meals (5 times – 3 meals and 2 snacks).
At breakfast:
1 small piece of bread or 1 slice of loaf
1 banana
1 egg
- For morning snacks:
1- 2 pieces of cookies
1 glass fruit juice
- For lunch:
1/2 cup rice
1 thin slice of meat
1 orange or whatever fruit is available
- For afternoon snacks:
1 orange or banana or 1 thin slice of cake
1 glass fruit juice
- For dinner:
1/2 cup rice
1-3 servings of vegetables or fish
1 glass fruit juice
- No carbohydrate or fatty (dairy products) meals or snacks were taken after 7 pm.
I only took in lots of water, fruits or vegetables.
- My exercise was not regular as I can’t spare the time to do so. When I did find the time, I simply jogged in place for 15-30 minutes.
- I did some breathing exercises also when I had the time.
I inhaled deeply, held my breath for ten counts, and then exhaled deeply through my mouth and nose. I usually do this several times (10-20) times until my breathing’s rhythm became stable. Then I allowed all my muscles to relax (by repeating the word – RELAX- to myself.) I did this until I felt the tension leave my muscles.
At times, I vary the veggies with fish or legumes, but I avoided pork fat and dairy products. When I ate meat, it would be a thin slice of lean meat. I derive most of my proteins from fish and legumes (beans, peas).
This program had reduced my weight by 15 pounds in less than 2 months.
As my metabolism adjusted to the diet regimen, I became less hungry and my craving for food lessened. My increased ingestion of the fruits and vegetables had also helped my digestive system tremendously because I was no longer feeling constipated and my bowel movement became regular.
My blood pressure had also normalized. This is because less bad fat entered my body and the calories I was taking in then was lesser than the calories I was utilizing. This prompted my body to use the stored fat in my system, burning off the fat and reducing my weight.
