This is definitely a good option for many (provided it really works). The major advantage is the short time frame it works in. It just requires seven days to a show result, that sounds very short, and it is just a week now that sounds even shorter. Let’s see how the seven day plan works?

The first day of the diet plan starts with fruits. It says that you can have any fruit that you like except banana. Along with only fruits you would have to consume the cabbage soup. The second day you have all kinds of veggies and the soup at dinner. The third day is a combination of the first and the second day i.e. fruits, veggies and soup. The forth day is all about up to 6 bananas and skim milk along with the soup. The fifth day is about 10-20 ounces of beef, 6 to 8 glasses of water, a can of tomatoes and the soup. Day six is all the vegetables and the beef along with the soup. The last day is unsweetened fruit juice, brown rice, vegetables and the soup. One good thing about the diet plan is that it does not restrict the amount of intake.

Today, convenience is given more importance than health and nutrition. That’s why fast foods are in great demand. This process saves a lot of time and effort, but gives way to tummy fat. Human body is an efficient and a smart machine. When it is fed with convenience and junk food, it does not get the required nutrition. It instead gets empty calories and too much of sugar. The body wants the person to keep going. Hence, it provides the tummy with extra fat, as legs and arms need to be kept active and tummy is the central part which is inactive.

As stated above, the purpose of slow movement is to pay more attention to the work of eating; and thereby stop the belly and diabetes epidemic from spreading. The research regarding slow eating states that the “I’m full” signal reaches the brain within 15 minutes from one’s gut. So, logically, it proves the fact that fast eaters end up eating beyond their limits, and by the time they get into their senses, they have already gulped so much of food. The research also proves that people end up eating more when they try to concentrate on a number of things at a time, say- watching television, reading, or talking. A paper regarding this was presented by the researchers from Rode Island University titled ‘Eating rate and satiation’ at NAASO (Obesity Society) in 2006 meeting at Boston. According to them fast eaters gulped food 3.5 times more than the slow eaters. They thereby drew the conclusion that 90% of the fattest people consisted of fast eaters. It was also observed that Americans were the fastest eaters in the world.

Opt for a ‘juice fast’

Hollywood diet or lemonade diet is the best option to go for. This diet should be strictly followed, as per the instructions by the doctor. Picking ones favorite vegetable or fruit may not be always possible. In that case, picking the available vegetable or fruit and mixing up with ice would be advisable. Many a times, the vegetable or fruit that one uses possesses a high content of sugar, which may work against the theory of weight loss. So, it’s better to consult the doctor before going for this therapy. The technique of dramatically dropping of calorie intake should be tried out, if the above method is not applicable. For instance- if the daily needed calorie intake is 1500, one should try to limit it to 900 or 1200. Junk foods should be strictly avoided. A diet containing multi vitamins should be taken.
