Such toxins being accumulated can be flushed away from the colons too. And because of the cleaning up of the liver and the colon there will be a fresh wave of energy and it can be easily found in the normal functioning of the body. The actual process of one day dieting is comprised of precisely 11 days. Since the dieting part composes only one day this plan came to be termed one day diet plan. During the initial seven days the food which is being consumed should primarily consist of those which are found to have profound affect on the liver. Some of the common food stuffs are leafy vegetables, citric fruits and much proteins. Proteins can be found in large number in poultry products as well as in soy products. Fibrous foods also should be taken so as the colon is also given adequate care. Along with these much water too has to be consumed during these seven days. Sugar and sugar coated foods must be avoided at all costs and will greatly hamper the diet process. During the day of the diet that is on the eight day only water must be consumed. No amount of physical activities must be indulged on.

Water must be consumed on hourly basis. On the next day, that on the nine day to the 11th day the same diet regime which was taken during the first seven days must be strictly followed without fail. Do not worry but it is going to take much patience, courage and support from the family members in this short venture of yours. Once the diet program is completed, from the 12th day normal diet can be continued but it has to be noted that the fat content be maintained and high caloric value foods be avoided.

In the good olden days, man had to hunt and find food. This involved walking long stretches of land and it also involved lot of physical activity. But in today’s world, machines do most of our routine jobs, leaving us with very little physical activity. This means our calories are not burnt and the food we take just goes and gets accumulated as fat in the body. The new diet program which is grabbing everyone’s attention is the ‘one meal a day’ program. It is very clear that if you want to shed off those extra pounds of flesh which as begin to show on your body, you need to undergo some discomfort as well as sacrifice something for getting back your original figure. The concept of 1 meal a day diet program goes something like this.

Breakfast is a normal routine one which is healthy. It includes a toast accompanied with a cereal. You need to skin your lunch. Just keep having lots of water and keep some waffles or some biscuit crackers handy so as to give your tummy a full feeling. A brisk walk for about 30 minutes would do wonders. The lunch is the simplest part of the meal and you can sacrifice this without much difficulty.

Once you are back home at around 1730 hrs, do not gulp down you coke or cola which you would have done in the normal course. Eat something which is healthy and fills your stomach, but avoid deserts and sweet drinks. The reason for this is:

Firstly, you are focused on preparing the meal of your choice

Secondly you would happily eat the meal

Thirdly you would not be able to eat much since the stomach would start sending out signals that it is full. This way calorie intake can be controlled. Even though the 1 day meal takes some time to get fitted in your daily lifestyle, it is worth it. You can still enjoy all the favorite food items and also achieve your goal.

The Hallelujah diet follows the 85/15 plans. This diet follows the 85:15 ratio. You can have one cooked meal in the evening. The remaining part of the day you have to eat only raw food. 15% of the food is fruit which includes drinks as well. 15% is cooked food and 70% of it is vegetables.

The Hallelujah diet includes vegetables sandwiches, 2 slices of bread (preferably whole grain), some lettuce leaves, and slices of tomatoes, thinly sliced onions, carrot grates, cucumber slices and red pepper choppings. You could also add other vegetables of your choice. This form of diet appears to be very practical and can be easily incorporated daily. It is the right combination of diet and exercise. The enrollment charges for this program are 250 dollars.

People experience some side effects while on this diet program. They get a feeling of the body getting cleansed. The raw diet cleanses your entire system. Both the skin and body feels healthy and there is a sheen added to your skin. People who had consumed lots of meat, cheese, caffeine and sugary foods might experience a dizzy feeling or a nauseatic feeling. This would slowly disappear. But it is always better to consult your doctor or family physician

Who should avoid raw food diet?

Children, anemic people, people suffering from osteoporosis, lactating mothers and pregnant women should not venture out for these raw diets.

Lot of information about raw diet is available on the internet. But it is always advised that one seeks professional advice before enrolling for this program. Use caution when it comes to the source of information. A nutritionist would be able to guide you perfectly as to the amount of raw intake which is advised for your body. This program can be continued for a period of 30 days or even less depending on the progress. Everybody has a different constitution and all diets would not suit everyone. Health issues and past medical history also need to be taken into consideration before going in for this diet program. But what can be concluded of the Hallelujah diet is that it is the only diet which has a perfect blend of both health and balanced diet.

Denominator Diets

The Alphabet, the Chromatic and the Decibel diets are the most interesting ones of the Denominator diets. The Alphabet diet extends to about 26 days.

Day One.

Breakfast consists of apple juice or an apple. Lunch would be some Avocado salad or some soup. You could also include apricot juice for lunch. Dinner comprises of antipasto, asparagus, and apple sauce. For desert you could have almond ice-cream or an Angel food cake. Chromatic diet limits the intake of particular colored foods. Foods can be taken in the rainbow order. In the Decibel diet, the food is selected on the noise levels. Loud noise producing foods are Cheetos, chips, apples and rice. The actual participants prefer Krispies. The silent foods like mashed potato and ice cream is very much liked by everyone.

Democratic Diets

Democratic diets basically address the political feature of eating. The most common democratic diet is a vegetarian diet. Vegetarians tend to cut off meat from the diet. They make a hue and cry about slaughtering animals. Non vegetarians on the other hand raise an issue about plants being slaughtered and refuse to include vegetables in his diet. The migrant worker prefers the grapeless diet. The Homeless diet comes to rescue at this point. This diet has to be adhered to only for a short duration because it would put excess strain on the metabolism of the body. So it is advised that you do not live like those homeless for a lengthier period.

The Fodder diet is also one of the diet programs and you need to follow this program also for some time. This would help you in reducing weight substantially and also achieving your goals.

A sample of the week’s menu could be something like:

Sunday –To start with you could go in for a bowl of meow mix., Monday – you could opt for 2 gainesburgers; Tuesday – have a saucer of milk; Wednesday – Suet (only 1 pound); Thursday – fish pellets (only 3)

Friday – Hay (1 bale); Saturday – Some table scraps

Didactic Diets

These diets are for all those postgraduates who ultimately have to enroll in health spas for reducing all those extra pounds gained during their study at the hostel. Whatever diet these individuals choose be it the Détente, Bertlitz or the Historical diet, they would definitely show positive results by losing a couple of pounds. The Historical diet boasts of diet programs which nobody would even want to eat. It goes something like this. Breakfast would be something like whey and curds. Lunch would be some gruel with treacle and grog, Dinner could be slightly better with some Manna and Mead.

Day 1

Breakfast includes either tea or coffee with any sugar substitute. A piece of toast (dry one). You could top it up with some peanut butter. Lunch comprises of half a cup tuna and one piece of toast (dry) along with some tea and coffee. For dinner you could have some lean mean and a cup of beans (green). You can also have an apple and a desert which normally would be a cup of any ice cream of your choice. It is advised to avoid chocolate ice creams. Go in for vanilla ice creams. Day 2 and Day 3 follow the same routine by making slight changes in the fruits. You could opt for bananas instead of apples.

Some of the disadvantages in this diet program are as follows:

It is very difficult to eat peanut butter early in the morning. The dieter is provided only 500 calories a day. This means that he or she is basically starving the whole day. The metabolic activity slows down and the body feels that there is a crisis. It is not provided the necessary nutrients required for its functioning. Day 2 talks of eating eggs and bananas. The dieter would have tremendous gas problems because both eggs and bananas have lot of gas in them. Just imagine if peanut butter was also to be included along with these. It would be like a gas leak Lunch is cottage cheese and tuna. Fish and dairy products do not gel well and your stomach would have a problem. It is advised that one opts for greens like lettuce, celery, some sprouts. You could top this with some chips. This would feel as if you have eaten a healthy lunch.

Day 2 :

Dinner comprises of franks. This means that your tummy would be filled with tremendous gas. The body is in a state of confusion. It does not get the daily nutrients required. It is stressed and does not know how to react.

Day 3 :

It is definitely better. Apples are very good substitutes for caffeine. But apples are also gassy. We also have eggs for lunch. That means there is more gas to it. Cheese would help in reducing the effects of gas but it is nullified since we have some dry toast for dinner. On Day 3 the body gets very less calories. The dieter would have been so exhausted that he would eat anything that comes in his way. What we can conclude for this is that the 3 day diet is not a very healthy diet and it has resulted in many health problems.

Your dietician or nutritionist would be the best person to guide in case you are suffering from this condition. Your gynecologist should be able to refer you to a nutritionist cum dietician who would chart out your diet plan based on your condition. This is very necessary for you to maintain good health during your pregnancy. A dietician who has enough knowledge about gestational diabetes would be a safer option since he or she would know exactly what your requirements are.

Some of the tips which a pregnant women suffering from gestational diabetes should follow are:

Make sure to eat three meals daily. Include 1 to 3 snacks daily. This will enable in keeping your blood sugar right. A snack before retiring for the night would be beneficial. This is necessary because when you are resting your blood sugar needs to be maintained at the right level. Some women are also prescribed snacks throughout the day with a gap of 2 hours between two snacks. Maintain the same time and maintain a consistency between two snacks. This would allow the body to get into a schedule. The diet also focuses on foods which you need to avoid completely. Sugary foods, molasses and honey need to be wiped out from your list. This would have negative effects on your diet as well as on your health.

On the whole, a gestational diabetes diet is good and one way to keep your diabetes in control. If proper precautions are taken, it would help in controlling the blood sugar levels. If treated at the right time, it would not pose a very big problem during the woman’s delivery. The patient should be guided by a professional nutritionist in order to be on the right track

The first step which we need to do is pen down what sort of exercise regime needs to be adhered to. Whether enrollment in a gym or a fitness centre would be of help or whether you could religiously and strictly follow an exercise routine from the precincts of your home.

A diet plan which is charted out on the basis of your comfort level would be the most successful one and would be long living. Ensure that all the constituents of food in the right proportion are included like proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates and fats. Follow the palm rule here. This implies measuring the food you need to ingest to the size of your palm. When you have a craving for some additional food, follow this plan. It is really very effective.

Breakfast could be a toast with some peanut butter, a fruit – you could select any seasonal fruit. Mid morning snack could be another fruit and a bowl of yoghurt.

Your afternoon snack could include a bar of granola and a bowl of yoghurt. This should be had after 2 to 3 hours of lunch. You could change the items in the dinner menu. Following a healthy diet pattern with right exercising would guarantee you sure shot success. Exercise keeps you lean and fit.
