This is not a complete diet; obese individuals can easily lose 0.9-1.4 kg per week. This diet involves two meals a day, with food choices limited to a prescribed range. The wide variety of food options allows obese individuals to enjoy delicious food while achieving their weight loss goals.
Each meal includes the following: 100 grams of lean meat, poultry, fish, or seafood; a small plate of cabbage; half a slice of thin toast; and an apple or orange.
You can add calorie-free seasonings such as lemon juice or vinegar, and a moderate amount of salt or pepper. Drink a moderate amount of coffee or tea.
The foods listed above cannot be replaced by other foods. This diet provides 1045 kJ of energy, totaling 2090 kJ per day.
Regardless of the time interval between meals, only two meals a day should be eaten. After a few days, the obese person's weight will drop rapidly.
The two-meal-a-day diet generally needs to be followed for 21 days. If you have reached your ideal weight, you can stop the diet earlier. When using this diet, due to insufficient food digestion, intestinal motility will decrease. In this case, you can use a mild laxative or glycerin; it will return to normal after 3-4 days. It is especially important to drink plenty of water, 6-8 glasses a day.
This weight loss method has a relatively ideal effect. Obese people will have more energy, less sweating after exercise, relieve high blood pressure, lower cholesterol, regular menstruation, improved fertility, and many symptoms and signs related to overweight will gradually disappear.
A breakfast consisting of calorie-rich foods does not affect a person's weight, but weight gain occurs at night. This is because insulin levels reach their peak in the evening, making it easier for fat to accumulate. Therefore, to prevent obesity, dinner should not be too heavy or rich. Experts recommend that dinner should not exceed 30% of your daily food intake, while breakfast should account for at least 35%.
