It's unnecessary to expend money on a pictorial recipe book for dieting because the Charm Diet is everything needed to achieve and sustain long-term weight loss.
Perhaps our parents and grandparents needed three meals every day because they usually worked hard. However many jobs in our technological society require minimal physical exertion. Consequently for the actual work performed, we tend to consume excessive calories.
As an alternating dietary regimen, Charm Diet induces the necessary calorie deficit for weight loss to occur. Moreover, it eliminates all need for recording food quantities and calories. Consider that it works like a charm because extra pounds vanish so effectively.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday are chosen as dining days, which align with usual plans to have restaurant meals on Friday or Saturday. On these four days, consume moderate quantity meals which are low carbohydrate choices and drink only water, sugar-free coffee, tea and sodas. Enjoy a single cup serving of ice cream (8 oz.), as a week-end treat.
Fast all solid foods on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. But if feeling compelled at lunch time, enjoy a two-ounce mixture of salt-free English walnuts and almonds which provides a heart-healthy low-carbohydrate snack. However remain well hydrated with the previously described plan.
Choose green vegetables to minimize carbohydrates because colored vegetables such as carrots contain natural sugars. Most white fish such as Cod are excellent choices, except for Catfish which has excess fat. Moreover, Salmon is a potent heart-healthy and high-protean fish.
Choose other meats that are well trimmed of fat and prepared on a grill such as chicken breast, chicken wing drums, pork chops, or lean beef steak cuts. However, avoid rib-eye steaks because of excess marbling. But in general, one should prefer heart-healthy white meat portions over red meats.
Pork tender-loin and center-cut chops are the "other" white meat, which have nearly the same low-fat content as chicken breast. Try throwing a large pork chop on the grill and cook it like a beef steak with your favorite steak sauce. You may be surprised at how delicious this heart-healthy pork steak tastes.
One should abstain from Breads, Crackers, Snack Chips, Pizza, Pastas, Rice, Potatoes and Corn. Moreover, abstain from Cookies, Cakes, Candies and other sweet treats. All such high-carbohydrate foods yield mother-loads of calories, which pack on fat with ease. Such fat poses long-term harmful consequences for our health.
As an effective bread substitute, consume a small portion of salt-free mixed nuts to enjoy that satisfying "crunch". However check nut statistics beforehand and avoid Peanuts, Cashews and other relatively high-carbohydrate nuts.
On your weight loss journey, it is important to enjoy life by treating yourself occasionally. Consequently it is acceptable to breach the Charm Diet on your birthday and other major holidays. On these days, enjoy some of everything on the table, but make the portions reasonable and avoid having "seconds".
To help dieters succeed, the author shares a useful tool. Obtain a supply of 4 ounce plastic cups. Take two cups and fill one with a mixture of nuts. Get comfortable with a sugar-free drink and then slowly chew the nuts in small bites. To effectively discard about 90% of calories without swallowing, discreetly enjoy & expel into the second cup. Moreover, let's reference this potent tool as "E&E" within our dieting community.
The Charm Diet works very effectively by reducing average caloric intake about (3/7 x 100) = 43%. After reaching target weight, switch to fasting only one or two days per week as required for healthy maintenance.
Choice of the day to record weight is very important. Consider that fluids weigh about one pound per pint and that un-expelled solid foods also possess significant mass. Since people tend to consume more food and drink on week-ends, they often weigh more on Mondays.
Consequently Monday weight is probably false data, due to fluid bloating and extra food still passing through the digestive tract. Instead, take Friday mornings to record weight while dressed in underwear and after urination. Stay faithful to the plan and accept this suggestion to avoid discouragement.
Exercise isn't required for this plan to work, but walking a couple of miles on several days a week is recommended.
The Charm Diet isn't recommended for pregnant women or anyone with certain diseases. Your physician should be consulted before participating in this diet plan.
