Answer 1

here's how u lose 10 lbs is a week ( Cabbage soup diet)

Okay, are you ready? Here we go:

1 head cabbage, shredded or chopped
2 large onions, chopped
16-28 ounces canned tomatoes, chopped
2 green peppers
4 stalks celery
1-2 packages Lipton onion soup mix, or any dry onion soup mix (optional)
black pepper
any fresh herb(s) of your choice, chopped
6 carrots, sliced
1/2 pound green beans, sliced on diagonal
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar (optional)
Put all vegetables in a big pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, stir in the soup mix (if desired), and boil gently for 10 minutes. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until all the vegetables are soft. Stir in the black pepper and chopped herbs (saving some for garnish).
Eat as much of the soup as you like, as often as you like. Drink as much water as you like and non-caloric drinks including coffee, tea, and herbal teas.


Here's what else you can eat, and when:

DAY 1: All fruits except bananas.

DAY 2: All vegetables, raw or cooked. This includes baked potato with a LITTLE butter.

DAY 3: Fruits and vegetables, but no potatoes or bananas.

DAY 4: Bananas and skim milk--eat as many as 8 bananas and drink as many as 8 glasses of skim milk.

DAY 5: Beef, skinless chicken, and/or fish--as much as 20 ounces, total. You can also eat 6 tomatoes. And you must drink 8 glasses of water. Don't forget at least one bowl of soup.

DAY 6: Beef, skinless chicken, or fish and vegetables. Drink 8 glasses of water and eat at least one bowl of soup.

DAY 7: Brown rice, vegetables, and unsweetened fruit juice


Good luck =))

Answer 2

Make sure nothing you eat gets >25% of calories from fat.
You probably need a bit more protein-RDA is 0.8-1 g/kg per day-make sure you are figuring in the protein in veggies and grains, some have surprising amounts.
Otherwise sounds pretty good. Increase your activity level a little by taking stairs, parking futher away, walking instead, etc.

Tres, he said safe and effective. Since this is posted in V&V, I doubt the chicken and beef will work out either.

Answer 3

Steamed broccolli, yams, and baked potatoes can all be nuked on the fly, and are nutrient dense. A medium red grapefruit has about 13 grams of protein, and anti-oxidents like C. Apples deserve their reputation as an anti-doctor preventative, and can satisfy a sweet-tooth, (I buy Fuji) and add dietary fiber. I use pre grated carrots and red cabbage for salads, or steamed with ramen noodles, since they're cheap, and nutrient rich. Kidney beans are high in anti-oxidents and protein, supply fiber, and have a good protein-carb balance (approx twice the carbs as protein). They go well with Kraft super mac, seasoned couscous, seasoned brown rice, or salads (Romaine, spinich, and red-leaf are the best nutritionally, and fairly affordable bagged and pre-washed.) I like using mandarin oranges, and feta with the salads, and balsamic vinegar.)

Drink lots of water, and listen to your cravings, (if you crave peaches, buy peaches.)

You can also use healthy alternatives with traditional favorites, for instance plain yogurt mixed with chives, and garlic salt make a palatable alternative to sour cream, with far fewer fat and calories. Whole grain pasta has gotten to be as good as plain durham, and is in better balance for a healthy glycimic index, since it is not broken down as quickly.

Try and eat foods in balance, rather than just going for protein.(When eating nuts on the run, have with apple juice, or banana chips and water.)

Eating a balanced diet is normally well supplemented by a reputable multi-vitamin, as modern produce tends to be fairly deficient in some key nutrients. If you eat no meat or dairy, be sure to take a vegetarian multiple, as these are made with a good balance of B vitamins, including B-12, which is neccesary for normal mental functioning.

I hope this helps, and that it doesn't make me sound inflated. I've been a vegetarian for 20 years, (since I was 11) and have learned a lot about eating well on the run.

Congrats on your commitment to health!

Answer 4

combine ur fruit and veggie counts, this gives more flexablity. many jucies can count as a serving.
watch the soy milk has as many calories or more the reg milk.
tuna sandwich on ww bread with lettus celerey & tomato gives u servings of whole grains veggies and meat & alternatives.
the point is with only a little effort it's not that hard.

Answer 5

Are you in discomfort? The most effective purpose I would fathom a individual in need of to be indignant is to hide up the discomfort. For a few purpose society extra conveniently accepts anger then harm. I don't like being indignant. It is a harmful emotion that explanations extra damage then aid. I wish you suppose greater.
