The Best Day To Start A Diet

[ad_1]

I was recently talking to a lady who I met in the gym she was telling me about how it was a new week and she was going to get herself back on track and lose the weight she wanted to.

Firstly it is great that the lady was in the gym on a Monday and a bit fired up to start her week on the front foot with some healthy eating and quality exercise.

She was making the NORMAL decision to start things off on a Monday (again). It's the beginning of the week. The best place to start don't you think?

Well maybe not.

Let me explain why Monday is probably not the best day to start a new diet.

My experience tells me that by Friday night the lady in question may be tired and starving and could go back to her old habits whatever that means for her.

Starting on a Monday is easy, especially if you have had your fill over the weekend you are ready to have a little break. Your body and mind needs it. The trouble is, everyone lives for the weekend.

We have our routines. They are hard wired.

How many times have you started a diet on a Monday only for it to gone wrong by the weekend?

We are all the same on that front, myself included.

But of course being human, we don't tend to try a different approach when the one we are using doesn't work, we just try it again and again. We are supposed to be intelligent but I often doubt it.

That's often called the definition of insanity "doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results".

So with that said, a change of approach would be sensible.

My advice would be to:

1. Start the diet on a Friday.

2. Plan nice healthy recipes for the Friday and Saturday.

3. Plan your meals. Try new recipes on a weekend when you would normally eat badly.

This strategy just changes the way you come at the issue of having no willpower when it comes to weekends. This would help set you up for the following week and ensure you had some good results after sticking to a diet for 7 days in a row.

Then rinse and repeat.

When the results start to come, people often perk up a bit and find some motivation to get through the weekends a bit easier.

Detox diets are controversial because most have severe limitations and may result in loss of essential nutrients for the body. For this reason, it is highly recommended that if you are interested in making a detox diet, consult and use the supervision of a healthcare professional.

A Detox Diet sample

Most people are usually on a detox diet for one to three weeks. Beginners often start with a week. When you go to this type of diet, it is extremely important to plan ahead. Buy all the food you need for the week, and do as much prep work as you can. When you start the diet, be very specific when choosing the day to start. For example, if you work Monday to Friday, start your detox diet Friday, so you have the first few days to relax at home, because they are usually the most difficult days.

Most detox diets involve a fast for three days to start the detoxification process. During the three days drink plenty of purified water. You can also drink freshly made fruit and vegetable juices during this period. For these three days, it is important to rest and refrain from high levels of activity. Some people might find it better to stay in bed and keep warm if it’s cold.

After three days, it is recommended to move to a single-food diet. This means eating only one type of fruit at every meal. For example, during breakfast and eat apples noon to eat oranges. Then go to dinner with pears. During this part of the diet, you can vary the fruit you eat every day. Eat them until your hunger is satisfied. It is also recommended to drink 12 ounces of freshly squeezed carrot juice at 16 hours every day.

It is important to conserve energy during this part of the diet. You can do your normal activities, such as your work and housework, but do not work out physically. Many people at this point will start to feel light headed, nausea, fatigue, and a little irritable. Advocates of detox diets say to persevere. Finally, these symptoms cease. Sleep and rest are very important at this stage, and social events are not recommended.

After a single-food diet for 10 days, you can switch to a raw food diet. This includes all fruits and vegetables. At this point, you can mix the fruit you eat and combine with vegetables to prepare meals. Large salads are recommended, but be careful when choosing a dressing. It is better to make your own, but if you buy a bandage make sure it is raw. You can also add nuts in your diet. Continue a raw food diet for a month. At the end of the month, you should feel cleaner, more fit, and have more energy.

After the Diet Detox

After completing a detox diet, it is important to use caution when re-acclimate to cooked food. You must introduce foods one at a time and note the reactions of your body makes. This will help you identify foods that can aggravate health conditions such as sinus congestion, fatigue, bloating, constipation, skin conditions and arthritis. With this awareness, you can work with a professional health care to design the optimal diet for yourself.
