10 Day Miracle Diet


A new diet is gaining popularity in the Internet. Wonderful results of a ten-day diet amaze everybody and desperate dieters are ready to try it. It promises 10 pound weight loss in only 10 days, impressive isn’t it?

Actually the weight loss will greatly depend on the amount of extra pounds the person has. An average overweight participant who has physically active way of life can lose about 5 pounds in 10 days. After the body readjusts and extra water will start going away a result of losing a pound a day is absolutely possible. Same as with other kinds of diets weight loss here depends on daily physical activity, body metabolism, the tendency of tissues to retain water, and a few other factors.

So, the basic rules of the 10-day diet are:

•    The amounts of liquids are unlimited: it is all right to take as much water, coffee, tea or other drinks as one wishes.
•    Sugar should be avoided though saccharin is allowed for sweetening tea or coffee.
•    A slice of lemon or orange is recommended to go with tea.
•    Salt, pepper and vinegar are very welcome in salad dressings.
•    Daily teaspoon of baking soda in water is required.
•    Daily tablespoon of calcium phosphate is recommended for mineral values if it is approved by the participant’s doctor.
•    It is good to change the order of foods within one day: substitute one meat for another, use buttermilk instead of skim milk, watch the fruit and vegetable intake in order to utilize the cans better.
•    Grapefruits are especially important because they start fat-burning process.
•    There should be no snacking between meals.

The participant must: boil, broil, bake or roast meats, but not fry them; boil or poach eggs, but not fry them; use water packed fruit and berries and avoid heavy sweet syrup.

One must not apply mayonnaise or oil dressings because they prevent vitamin A intake; use butter, sugar, cream or fat in foods and their preparations, eat less that it is allowed per day; continue diet longer than 10 days without doctor’s permission.

An important part of the diet is Vitamin cocktail which is good for every day use. It is rich in Vitamins A, C, D and B complex. The cocktail has to be made fresh every day and served chilled. The calorie value of the drink is minimal, but it is a great source of the most important Vitamins.

Vitamin Cocktail Recipe:

1 tbsp. dried brewer’s yeast
5 drops haliver oil with viosterol or other Vitamin A and D concentrate
0.5 cup tomato or any fruit juice.

Mix all the ingredients and drink. If one prefers, instead of the cocktail, he or she can take all the ingredients separately: take a tablet of brewer’s yeast, a capsule of haliver oil and wash both of them off with a cup of citrus juice.

Here are a few samples of meals a person could have while being on the 10- day diet:

Day 1:

Breakfast

6 halves canned or stewed apricots
Black coffee

Lunch

Broiled hamburger, 2 patties
Generous lettuce, tomato and cucumber salad
2 glass whole milk
Coffee or tea

Dinner

Vitamin cocktail or grapefruit juice
Lean steak, broiled
0.5 cup string beans
Raw celery, 4 stalks
Coffee or tea

Day 2:

Breakfast

Vitamin Cocktail or tomato juice
Coffee

Lunch

Lean broiled steak
½ cup string beans
Coleslaw
½ glass whole milk
Coffee or tea

Dinner

1 cup bouillon
2 pork chops, broiled, lean meat only
½ cup stewed celery
Mixed green salad: endive, onion, lettuce, green pepper, radish, cucumber
Coffee or tea

This diet is not recommended for long and constant usage because it eliminates sugar and starch intake completely. Although it is good to keep their intake low, human body cannot function without them. Sugar is the fuel for body’s activity, so after the diet it will beg for mercy and at least a little drop of something sweet. However, the diet really helps those who want to take care of “winter weight”. Once the extra pounds are lost it is easier to keep them low in summer by eating a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits.
