On this article, you can find a diet plan for just 7 days, which will make you look much better in the end. If you follow it strictly, you can lose 4 - 5 kilograms (8 - 11 pounds) and few centimeters from your hips - those centimeters that make the difference when you putt on your dress. And because this diet requires only 7 days, you should not cheat at all. The diet is easy to follow, but it must be strictly followed.
So test your will and make this exercise during the next week. The diet it cann't get easier than these: you have a list of aliments from witch you can chose for breakfast and lunch, as well as same choices and solutions for dinner; also you have a list with banned aliments. You are not allowed to eat sweets, salt, popcorn, biscuits or other aliments that you eat when you are getting bored.
Breakfast choices:
Make sure you have breakfast every day. Drink a cup of coffee or tea (black tea, green tea or medicinal plants tea). Chose only one fruit from each list, only one protein aliment and one with carbohydrates. You can mix them freely; very important is to not eat more then one.
Fruits: (chose one from the list):
* 1 banana;
* 1 apple;
* 1 grapefruit;
* 2 kiwi fruits;
* 80 g of pineapple;
* 80 g of strawberries, raspberries;
Proteins:
* 2 spoons of simple yogurt, without fat;
* A mug of milk;
* A boiled egg;

* 75 g of white cheese;
* 40 g of peanuts without salt;
Carbohydrates:
* 1 slice of bread;
* 5 spoons of muesli, without sugar;
* 2 biscuits;
* 5 spoons of cereals with fruits without sugar;
Lunch:
Just as breakfast, but this time you can choose two aliments from the fruits and vegetables list, one from protein list and one from carbohydrates list. Try to combine them as different as you can.
Fruits and vegetables: 80 g of carrots, cabbage, broccoli, tomatoes, spinach, grapes, pineapple, apple, orange. Proteins (just one)

Sugar - represent an important risk factor. After few days without sweets, you will no longer feel the need to eat them. Don't putt sugar or honey in your coffee or tea, and never touch the chocolate.
Alcohol represents calories that you don't need.
Salt - maintains water in the tissues, so try to avoid it at list one week. Also salt is not good for your hart or kidneys.
Lose 5 In 7
The best way to lose weight and keep it off is to go about it realistically. You deal with reality everyday. The struggle to find clothes that fit, the snickers and the stares from people passing by. You know that you are overweight and you fight with that pain as much as you fight with your weight.
So how are you going to lose weight and keep it off. First you have to understand that realistically you should plan on losing about 2 pounds per week. I know that 2 pounds doesn't sound like a lot, but the weight didn't go on overnight so it isn't going to come off overnight.
The key to losing that weight is to use up more fuel than what you are taking in. Getting more active doesn't necessary mean that you have to hit the gym for five hours a day. It means that you need to incorporate more physical activity throughout your day.
There just isn't anyway around it, you have to exercise. At first you may find it tough and depending on your current weight you may have some shortness of breath but those things will not last. And you can take it steadily at first and build up. There is no need to start off with boot camp aerobics. Instead start with walks, bike riding or swimming. Something that you are going to enjoy doing so that you stick with it.
You can't skip meals either. You actually need to eat in order to lose weight. Yes, you read that correctly. You need to eat to lose weight. When you skip meals you make your metabolism slow down. Metabolism, that wonderful little process that burns the fat you have, and burns off the fuel you eat. The key to making your metabolism work with you, is to keep it running at a consistent "speed" through out the day. Plus, when you skip meals on a repeated basis, you put your body into starvation mode, so your body then holds on to whatever food or fuel you take in.
Now you are going to have to make some modifications to what you are eating. You need to give your body foods that are easier for it to digest that actually provide the body with the nutrients it needs to work properly. Look, who doesn't crave a snickers bar every now and then. But what you need to focus on is reducing the foods that are high in fat, that have been processed and packaged and eat more fresh vegetables, fruit and natural foods.
