11 Day Diet Plan

An 11 day diet plan may sound extreme and dubious for most people. But this is a unique approach to dieting and trying to lose weight within an 11 days period. You might be wondering right now how you can lose weight within 11 days only. The answer is through alternating calorie intake within the 11-day period. This is possible through manipulating the metabolism as you adjust your calorie intake within the period.

The 11 day diet plan is made up of 11 days cycle of alternating caloric intake followed by 3 days of rest where you are allowed to eat anything you want. Sounds simple? Not so quite, especially for folks who find this too extreme and dangerous for them. This diet plan's goal is to rev up the metabolism or not allowing it to slow down within the 11-day period. Once the metabolism rate increases, the result would be weight loss.


* Some basic principles that the 11 day diet plan adheres:

- The meals cycle between protein-rich and carbohydrate-rich foods within the 11-days period, and throughout the day.

- The dieter is allowed to eat 4 meals per day after every 2 ? hours. This is for the metabolism to work continuously and balance the sugar levels in the blood.

- The meals should be prepared at home and the dieter should avoid high-calorie condiments and bread spreads such as butter, mayo and others. Avoid eating sweets as well.

- Being mindful of the amount of food you are eating and when to stop once you are satisfied should also be observed during the 11-days.

- There are no caloric restrictions; however, overeating should be prevented since this won't end in the desired result.

- It is advised to drink 8 to 10 glasses of water per day and high-calorie beverages [such as fruit juices, are not allowed.

- It is best to walk daily for at least 45 minutes to burn off fat and to increase your metabolic rate.

Others stated that they had no problem following the diet plan, that the food choices were not bad at all, and that they did not feel hungry within the cycle.

Some folks may not recommend this diet plan because they feel too many restrictions particularly on the food choices. It is also possible for some to gain back their lost pounds once they discontinue using the diet plan. It could be that instead of losing the unwanted fats, water is being lost and therefore causing hunger and de-motivation.

In general, the goal of diets is to train our bodies to eat more of the healthier foods, control portion sizes, burn calories and exercise.
