Okay as a 16 year old girl I regret to say my BMI is overweight (28.3 *cringe*). I have PCOS which doesn’t help. Well anyway regardless of causes my school formal (you might call it a prom if you want) is next year. Next year but I want to start losing weight now so I can look great and I figured if I start now if I have set-backs it doesn’t matter I still have time and I have time to not only lose the weight but to establish a healthy diet and lifestyle.
I’ve done some research and found this diet called the ‘The Fat Smash Diet’ I was hoping you guys could tell me whether this is healthy or not. Just to start off with.
Okay it goes in four stages.
Stage One: The detox stage:
It lasts for 9 days and you eat mostly fruits and vegetables. You eliminate alcohol and caffeine, the idea is to clean all the nasty stuff from your system. You can eat all the vegies you want except avocado and white potatoes. You can also have the following: beans/legumes, 1 cup of oatmeal, 2 cups of brown rice, two cups of low fat or 1% milk, 2 6 ounce yogurts, 4 egg whites. You can only drink water and 2 cups of herbal tea. You use limited oils when cooking.
Phase two: The foundation phase. This lasts for three weeks. In this phase you eat the same foods as in phase one but you slowly reinstate lean meats. You add mostly chicken and fish and things with high protein just not pork. 1 whole egg, unsweetened cereal, 1 ounce of cheese, 1 10 ounce cup of coffee and 2 diet pops a day come back if you want that.
Phase three: The construction phase: This phase lasts for 4 weeks. In this phase you eat the same foods as phases 1 and 2 but you reintroduce whole wheat pasta and bread. Increase protein by adding peanut butter and even mayo to food, 2 whole eggs, 3 cups of that milk now, 2 cups of freshly squeezed juice, 4 slices of wholemeal bread, 1 cup of pasta and one desert serving per day.
Phase 4: The template phase. This phase is about lifestyle so it’s a lifestyle change. You eat the same foods as the last three stages but bring back white starches like potatoes and flour. You bring back what you want but you have to learn how much your body can take.
How much weight do you think I could use going on that diet then maintaining phase 4 as a general lifestyle? Here’s the link btw:
