Anyone who is not very satisfied with their figure understandably wants to lose weight. But not everyone can succeed. That is because many people choose wrong and ineffective diet programs. If you do not want to be placed in that category, it is appropriate to choose wisely.
A good tip is the 4-week egg diet, which is completely unique compared to others.
The first unique aspect is that it was developed on scientific foundations. It originated at the well-known Mayo Clinic in the USA, which is one of the most famous medical clinics in the world. But that is not the only uniqueness. For example, it can be said that one of the most famous women in politics followed it. And that iron lady was none other than Margaret Thatcher. And that is already a good reason to try it.
What makes the 4-week egg diet unique?
What is so special about this diet and how does it actually differ from many others? We bring you the answer to that as well. The 4-week egg diet is based on trying to provide the body with a higher amount of protein and, conversely, reduce the amount of carbohydrates. This can lead to the body beginning to use its stored reserves as a source of energy, and conversely there should not be a reduction in muscle mass. Another unique point is that over the course of 4 weeks the egg diet can help shed a lot of kilograms. Some sources even state that it is possible to lose up to 10 – 28 kg. Everything is of course individual. And how to follow it? Take a look with us.
Weeks one and two
We begin with the first week, which is based on starting each day by eating 2 eggs and also one piece of fruit. Citrus fruits are ideal, as their composition can very well kickstart the human metabolism. It is also necessary to follow the further schedule, which is as follows:
Monday
For lunch any type of fruit from the selection, such as apples, oranges, pears, cherries, as well as apricots or peaches. For dinner you can have lean beef, pork, or poultry and a vegetable salad.
Tuesday
On this day one should have lean chicken breasts for lunch, prepared by boiling, stewing, or grilling.
In the evening 2 boiled eggs are consumed with a piece of bread and a vegetable or fruit salad.
Wednesday
For lunch there can be bread and to go with it low-fat cheese, or cottage cheese. Dinner can again be meat-based, with any kind of meat. It should be complemented with a vegetable salad.
Thursday
Lunch consists exclusively of fruit. It is possible to choose one type from Monday’s selection and eat a reasonable amount of it for lunch. Dinner is more interesting because it is again meat-based in combination with vegetables – fresh or stewed.
Friday
For lunch a vegetable salad according to your own taste is prescribed, supplemented with 2 boiled eggs. For dinner there should be a freshwater or sea fish. After dinner it is appropriate to have an orange or possibly a grapefruit.
Saturday
Saturday’s lunch is a bit lighter, because it includes only one type of fruit, in a reasonable amount. Dinner is considerably better, as it is lean meat with a variety of stewed vegetables.
Sunday
For lunch it is appropriate to prepare lean chicken breasts with vegetables. An orange or possibly a grapefruit serves as dessert. For dinner it is a purely vegetarian meal based on vegetables. Any, except potatoes, corn and beans.
The third and fourth weeks are quite specific
While the first two weeks are based purely on a combination of eggs, meat, fish, vegetables and fruit, the third and fourth weeks are completely unique in their composition of meals that can be eaten during the day and those that are, on the contrary, forbidden. The prescription is clearly defined.
Monday
The first day of the week is based on consuming fruit in any quantity.
You can also choose any types, except grapes, bananas, mango and any dried fruit, which is often sweetened.
Tuesday
The second day of the week is devoted to vegetables. You can eat them raw, as well as consume stewed or cooked vegetables. The choice is again up to you, except for the combination of potatoes and beans. These are forbidden.
Wednesday
This day is a combination of the two previous ones. You can eat both fruit and vegetables. In both cases, however, take into account which types should be omitted from your diet.
Thursday
This is the so-called fish day. It does not matter whether it is freshwater or sea fish. The important thing is to adhere mainly to healthy preparation, with minimal salt and oil. With the fish you can always have a small side dish in the form of vegetables.
Friday
The end of the work week is purely meat-based. You can eat any lean meat, again with emphasis on healthy preparation. Similar to fish, here it is possible to choose quality vegetables as a side dish.
Saturday and Sunday
The weekend is purely fruit-based, which will help with better detoxification.
You can eat any types in any amount, except for the types that were mentioned above at the beginning of the week.
