I just started this diet last week that my mom's personal trainer gave her. It has been less than a week and I have already lost 5 lbs. It is about a pound a day. And I am not even hungre!!!! Here it is ladies:
Breakfast: 2oz protein, 1/2 cup carb, 1/2 cup fruit (suggested: 2 egg whites, oatmeal, 1/2 apple or 1/2 banana)
Mid-Morning Snack: 2 oz protein, 1/2 cup carb (suggested: 2oz chicken breast, small potato)
Lunch: 2oz protein, 1/2 cup carb, 1-2 cup mixed greens (suggested: 2oz chicken, 1/2 cup rice, greeens)
Mid-Afternoon Snack: 20z protein, 1/2 cup fruit (suggested: 2oz chicken breast, small apple)
Dinner: 2oz protein, 1/2 cup carb, 1-2 cup mixed veggies (suggested: 2oz chicken breast, 1/2 cup rice, mixed veggies)
Evening Snack (optional): 1/2 cup mixed berries
***One meal per week (dinner and dessert) is whatever you want to eat. So save up and pig out!!!
Other Suggestions for each food type:
Protein: chicken, turkey, fish
Carb: rice, oatmeal, potato, cous cous
Fruit: melon, berries, apples, banana, grapefruit
Veggies: NO PEAS OR CORN
FM me for any questions. I totally recommend this diet.

Re: Best Diet ever
Silly question for you ladies - do you all have a food scale? How do you figure how much 2 ounces of chicken is? Any tips? Is it like a 1/4 cup? do you measure it like that? thanks!

Re: Best Diet ever
you can get a scale relatively cheap at a target or bed bath & beyond. but if you don't have a scale handy - they say to make a fist and that is about the amount of chicken (beef, etc.) that would equal 4oz. - so i guess you could picture 1/2 your fist and eat only that much. not very accurate - but works in a bind.

Re: Best Diet ever
what kind of potatoes and rice can you have?? Can it be any kind or just like white rice? And can you combine 2 courses, like Mid morning snack and lunch with 4oz protein and 1 cup carb?
Sorry for all the questions, TIA!!!!

Re: Best Diet ever
You can eat any kind of rice, but nothing with alot of butter and oil, so like no fried rice.
You can combine meals, but I wouldn't recommend it because you will be hungry later on.

Re: Best Diet ever
What are some other choices? Can you have lean beef? Whole eggs?
This sounds great, I'm going to try it! Thanks

Re: Best Diet ever
You can substitute the chicken with other meat, just try to be sure it is as lean as possible. I sometimes substitute turkey sausage, ground turkey, lean pork chops, etc. Red meat should not be that often though.

Re: Best Diet ever
Another way to measure is a deck of cards is equal to a correct portion on meat.

Re: Best Diet ever
Good Luck! This is very similar to the Walk of Life diet I'm doing and they provide free tracking charts, recipes and portion guidelines.
