Breakfast:2 cups of high fiber cereal in low fat milk, coffeeLunch:4 slices of high fiber bread dipped in 1/4 cup of olive oilDinner:1 head of cooked cabbage, lightly saltedWater:about 8 cups a dayEvery time I try cut down calorie consumption I get serious constipation which leads to headaches, abdominal pain and gasI thought this diet may be a way to avert that.
Just so you knowMatt is completely wrongMetabolism has NOTHING to do with how frequently you eatLets say you burn %10 of your calories you consume simply by digestingIf you eat 10 small means of 100 calories, you have burned 100 calories by digestionBut if you eat 1 meal of 100 calories, you will still burn 100 calories digestingAs for your question, regardless of what you drink more of less (no pop or energy drinks etc.) you will lose weight by fasting.
Yes of course its the best thing for any dietI hunger for the powerful juices such as juicing an entire lemon, grapefruit or beetAn entire whole one of those are very powerfulProbably would be harmful to most people since their bodies aren't as flushed out as mineI actually think cabbage is a great starting out juiceIts mildCarrots will give you the most nutrients for your buckThey are cheap for how much nutrient-rich juice they give.
NNYou need to eat a lot more food and a lot more fiber! Sorry but eating a whole head of cabbage just doesn't make any sense at allSo no this is not a good dietAny diet that excludes foods from any food group are usually fad diets and do not lead to permanent weight lossFirst, try to kick your fiber intake to 40 grams of both soluble and insoluble fiberWhatever you do, get your fiber from your food, not from a jarFruits and vegetables have good fiber in themTry a breakfast cereal with at least 20% of recommended daily allowance of fiber in itThey are usually low in sugar so there is a double benefitBlueberries or raspberries on top add more fiber and antioxidantsBut fresh or frozen, not the kind in syrupRaw nuts are a great source of fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidantsLots of beans, peas, and grains are high fiberWhole grain breadsFiber kicks up the metabolism so you actually burn more caloriesYes these foods will give you more gas in the beginning but if eaten daily, the bacteria in the digestive tract will elevate lowering the gas outputThis will get you on the path for a healthy daily bowel movementThis helps clean out the system and aids healthy digestionI know it goes against everything you've heard but eating lots of the right foods will actually help you lose weight! Next, take a basic daily multivitaminDon't look at your multivitamin as nutrition but more as an insurance policyThink of it as filling in the gaps in your daily diet as opposed to a primary source of nutrientsLast, you HAVE to drink lots of water to be healthyBut you can disguise itFill your glass all the way full with ice before pouring low sugar beveragesTry iced green tea with a splash of orange juice in it for sweetMore antioxidantsAdd lemon juice to water for flavorSlice up a cucumber and float it in pitcher of waterGives it salty fresh tasteBut you must drink up to 100 oz of water daily to help your body get rid of undigested fats and toxins it containsGood luck.
