Losing 5 and possibly even more kilos in such a short period of 10 days may at first glance seem almost impossible. It can be done if you choose a practical approach.
You can lose weight either by exercising, changing your diet, or a combination of both. Experience, however, shows that for rapid weight loss changing your diet is much more effective than exercising.
Why the diet is more effective than exercise
Exercising while on a diet is often difficult because the reduced calorie intake leaves a person with insufficient energy for strenuous physical activities.
Burning an extra 2000 kJ requires about 1 hour of running. On the other hand, you can save the same amount of energy by denying yourself a single 150-gram pack of salty sticks.
In today’s article we will reveal a recipe for one extra effective diet that allows you to burn 5 or more kg of fat in just 10 days.
It is a low-calorie diet and its practice is safe for most healthy adults. However, children and people with more serious health problems should not try it.
With this diet you will consume only 900 calories (3800 kJ) per day. Do not follow it for longer than 10 days. If it causes you difficulties, stop it earlier.
Ingredients used in the diet
This diet consists of consuming only these few basic foods:
Apples – contain a lot of fiber, which acts as a natural fat blocker. You can consume any variety of apples.
Green tea – contains an antioxidant that helps reduce fat storage and limits the activity of free radicals.
Oats – will help you achieve a feeling of fullness for a relatively long time and also reduce appetite. They help reduce body weight by limiting the consumption of unnecessary calories.
Eggs – are considered one of the most complete foods in the world. They provide your body with the necessary proteins, vitamins and minerals during the diet.
Cucumbers and carrots – similar to apples, they contain a number of necessary nutrients and have a very low calorie content.
From the foods listed below you will get the following amount of calories:
- 2 apples – 230 calories
- 3 eggs – 240 calories
- green tea – 0 calories
- 1 cup of oats – 160 calories
- carrot + cucumber – 60 calories
10-day diet plan
The diet plan will be the same every day. It may seem a bit monotonous, but a few days should be manageable.
If it does not suit you, however, you can swap individual foods within the day so that you keep their total amounts and types.
Breakfast: 3 boiled eggs, 1 glass of green tea
Lunch: 3 boiled eggs, 1 apple, 1 glass of green tea
Snack: 1 apple, 1 green tea. Between meals you can have carrot and cucumber.
Dinner: 1 bowl of oats. If you want, you can add a little fruit, nuts and flax seeds for flavor.
A few final recommendations
During this diet try to limit (not completely eliminate) the amount of salt and sugar you consume.
You can also support it with light 15-minute exercises, such as brisk walking every morning. That should further promote weight loss.
