How to lose 3 - 6 kilos (6 - 13 pounds) in 10 days

The balanced diet

   This is a hypo caloric diet and it's based on limitation of consumed calories. This kind of diet is considered to be a "traditional" one, because it's known to be a healthy diet.

   This diet allows you to eat almost anything, but in limited quantities. It is based on reduced number of calories with a good contribution of glucose (from cereals, vegetables, bread), characterized through a good level of satiety.

   The five key elements are water, rice, meat, bread and yoghurt.
  • Period: minimum one month - maximum 6 months.
  • Weight lose: 3-6 kilos (6-13 pounds) in 2 weeks.
  • Indications: recommended to all persons.
   The structure of the diet (for 1600 calories):
  • Breakfast: coffee, three slices of bread, 10 g of butter, a glace of orange juice or a glace of milk, a croissant and an apple.
  • Lunch: a salad, 150 g of meat/ fish or 2 eggs with 4 boiled potatoes, vegetables, white cheese and fruits, yoghurt.
  • Dinner: fish salad (with lemon, cheese), a peach, 100 g of meat, carrots, green beans, two grapes.

Advantages:


   It is a healthy diet and it can easily be transformed in a habit. It maintains the optimum weight for a long time.

Disadvantage:


   If you need to lose weight fast or if you are an impatient person, you will say that this diet is somehow slow. There are other faster diets.

The opinion of a specialist:


   The principle of this diet is that you can eat anything but in a reasonable way. Aliments must be cooked without fat and you should not eat more than recommended.
