is this a good diet?

Question

2 eggs breakfast salad lunch small peice of grilled chicken for dinner no snacking no pop or sweets

Answer 1

That doesn't sound like the best choice for a diet, if you want my opinion. You don't have to cut way down to almost nothing to eat healthy. Try throwing in some fruits and veggies and definately some dairy...you really should be eating from every food group. Don't be obsessed with how you eat..if you don't eat correctly, it can make you sick. And you don't have to completely cut out all treats...allow yourself like one day a week to have a treat of your choice..it will help alot if you crave it. Also, drink lots of water...it's good for you, especially in the hot weather! Hope my advice helped a little...good luck!

Answer 2

what is in the salad? How big is it?
what is the purpose of the diet? Is it to lose weight?

Eggs are very high in fat.
In fact just one egg YOLK has 215 milligrams of cholesterol. The recommended limit is 300 mg. daily. So they are not to be eaten frequently. Certainly not every day. And certainly not more than one every day!

Having full grain cereal/porridge or good for breakfast.
Fruit and veg are good for snacks or late night meals which will digest fairly quickly. You should aim to have small, frequent meals. Maybe 5 a day if you are able to.

What will you be drinking throughout the day? It is best to avoid or completely eliminate coffee/tea as well as your pop.

You didn't put what you'd be eating other days but it needs to be a bit varied.
Sounds like you might be doing an extremely calorie restricted version of the atkins diet? That will make you feel very ill, so basically the answer is no.

Answer 3

No, you're lacking a lot of what you need for the day. You're better off with one egg, and some oatmeal or fruit. A salad's good for lunch, but you need to add some veggies for dinner. One serving of each food grou isn't enough. And you need a dairy.

Answer 4

You need some carbohydrates or your body starts eating its muscles. Sound like the calories may be a little low. Try a more conventional diet and add exercise.

Answer 5

Certainly not. what is it you are trying to achieve?
My suggestion to you is go to http://fit-n-fat.blogspot.com and get the best possible advise and have some fun at the same time.
I did got rid of 35 pounds(17 kilos) in ten weeks, eat almost what I want and feel marvellous.
Variation and fun is what life and diet is about.

Answer 6

It is good for 3 days because after that you could get sick. It had no carbs and you need carbs, at least few. You could try adding some apples (2 max) and pinneaple or melon.

Answer 7

Needs more fruit and vegetables. See this site for why. Whether diet is for losing weight or getting heart attack.

Read this excerpt from the book "Dieting for Dummies" by Jane Kirby: "Don't cut your calorie level drastically when trying to lose weight; this strategy will backfire. Your body is programmed to defend your usual weight, so when calories are cut severely - to fewer than 800 to 1,000 a day - your metabolic rate adjusts to conserve the few calories you do give your body."

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:
