Help me with my diet plan please :)

[Anonymous]

I want to lose 10-15 pounds give or take. Mostly I want to be more confident so whatever amount to look good lol. I'm working on toning up and eating right. I saw a diet plan on Pinterest called the "3 day military diet" according to the directions you always eat healthy but 3 days out of each week you stick to this specific diet to help boost weight loss. It goes like this:

Day one

Breakfast--1/2 Grapefruit, one Slice of Toast, 2 Tablespoons of Peanut Butter, and Coffee or Tea

Lunch--1/2 Cup of Tuna, one Slice of Toast, and Coffee or Tea (any brew, as long as it's caffeinated)

Dinner--3 ounces of any type of meat, one Cup of Green Beans, 1/2 Banana, one Small Apple, and one Cup of Vanilla Ice Cream (YUM)!

Day 2

Breakfast--1 egg, one Slice of Toast, and 1/2 Banana

Lunch--1 Cup of Cottage Cheese (Or one Slice of Cheddar Cheese), one Hard Boiled Egg, and 5 Saltine Crackers

Dinner--2 Hot Dogs, (no buns), one Cup of Broccoli, 1/2 Cup of Carrots, 1/2 Banana, and 1/2 Cup of Vanilla Ice Cream

Day 3

Breakfast--5 Saltine Crackers, one Slice of Cheddar Cheese, and one Small Apple

Lunch-1 Hard-Boiled Egg, and one Slice of Toast

Dinner--1 Cup of Tuna, 1/2 of a Banana, and one Cup of Vanilla Ice Cream

So that's the diet, pretty sure I'll e starving by the end of it...could I substitute the Tina with canned chicken? I hate tuna :P also could I snack on almonds through the dy so I dot feel so hungry? Would doin those two things make a huge difference? Thanks!

Any diet where you're sure you'll be starving at the end of it, is counter productive.

You want to lose 10-15 pounds, that's fine. So long as you're not trying to lose it in an unreasonable amount of time, you can do it without any fad diets you've found on the internet.

To lose one pound of fat, you have to burn 3500 calories more than you eat. To lose one pound of fat in a week, you need to burn 500 calories more than you eat, each day.

And a deficit of 500 calories, isn't that hard to manage at all. It's a little over 2 mars bars.

Work out what you're eating every day. See how much of it is snacks and treats and sugary things. You'd be surprised how much they add up.

If you can cut 500 calories from your daily meals every day, and if you can do it by removing unhealthy snacks or sodas and so forth, you'll have lost the 15 pounds in 3 months, and you won't have starved yourself on any crazy diet.

Thank you! That helps a lot, I've already cut almost all my portions of what I used to eat in half, that didn't really do anything though :(

I'm sorry, but this somewhat wrong. If your burning 500 calories more then you eat, then you can be burning muscle more then fat. It's not about how many calories you consume, but what yo get from those calories. They're are 3 types of energy forms your body uses to function. Creatine, Glycogen, and fat. Creatine is your flight or fight energy and only comes to play when endorphin's are kicking and your adrenaline is coursing through your veins. Glycogen is a fat that is stored onto your

[1ibiz]

muscles, and if your eating a lot of carbs or a lot of sugary foods, then you will be burning this energy most of the time. Fat is what your body ideal energy burner. When your eating the things your not suppose too, then it doesn't matter how much you exercise, you won't shed a pound of fat from your body!

Swapping chicken for tuna shouldn't be a problem. Nuts are things that you can eat to snack on during a diet!

The diet is really good, if you can keep your toast wholemeal (brown). What ever you do is don't starve yourself, have good portions. If you're hungry then give your body what it needs...FOOD! what happens when you deny yourself food when you're hungry is that whatever you eat is more than likely going to be turned into fat because you've stared your body and slowed down your motabilsm. If you're hungry then eat, just eat something sensible :)

The key for long term results is eating correct and if you can get some exercise in.

Lol thanks you :D I'll keep that in mind, I need to get more fruits and veggies to munch on then haha

[1ibiz]

Are you doing this just to loose weight and look better or are you serious about your health?

[1ibiz]

You can loose weight this way, but technically, its not a healthy diet! You can get easier results, with less work, and be satisfied with cravings, but you won't get that with the diet your doing!

Any recomendations on a good diet? I kinda like this one but I'm going to make the portions a little bigger so I'm nt starving my body. Overall I am starting to eat smaller amounts through the day to raise my metabolism

Meat, fish, fowl, eggs, avocados, olives, vegetables, and plants should be bulk of your diet. Tuber such as sweet potato or yams, in moderation. Stems like Yucca in moderation. Roots such as beets and radishes should be in moderation. Fruits and berries should be in moderation. Nuts and seed should be in moderation. Grains no matter what form should be discarded. It's one of the biggest mistakes to mankind and offers too many anti-nutrients that sucks the life out of you! Peanuts is not a nut,

[1ibiz]

its a legume, such as soy, beans, and chick peas. Legumes should be avoided because they are high in polyunsaturated omega 6 fatty acid that throws you off balance with your omega 3's. This will cause the inflammation in your body. If your eating ice cream then most likely your consuming hydrogenated oils which is a huge no-no. You shouldn't even consume this substance not even once! Canned tuna or canned chicken has modified corn starch and other unnatural additives. The point of eating healthy

[1ibiz]

is eating as natural as possible from the foods that comes naturally from this planet. Don't let anybody tell you that fat is bad for you, don't let anybody tell you that grains are healthy for you! Theirs a lot of controversy going around the proper diet, but it's as simple as understanding that you need to eat natural, unrefined, not modified in any way type foods. Check out the Paleo diet.
