17 things I’ve learnt so far from the 17 day diet
- You can do anything you put mind to if you try. Our bodies crave carbohydrates: when you go on this diet, you’re very likely to miss them. Keep speaking to yourself. Have a watchword if possible.
- Since you’re not going to be eating very much food, you should not over exercise or you might get hungrier.
- You can also exercise any time that is convenient for you: not just in the mornings.
- Eggs, chicken and cabbage are very filling. If they’re foods you eat, include one of them in every meal.
- If you’re making a spinach and tomato salad, don’t chop your spinach! Chopped spinach becomes slimy like okra.
- It’s difficult to drink 8 glasses of waater day. Aim to drink three 50 cl bottles of water. It’s easier to remember that.
- Since you’re drinking water more often, your bathroom visits are going to increase. You can use this as a reminder to do some pelvic floor exercises (Kegels) AFTER you’re done emptying your bladder.
- Canned tuna and salmons in water are nothing like their fresh alternatives. Opt for fresher versions if you can.
- A raw diet may be difficult for many to eat everyday. Steam your vegetables if you’e anything like me.
- Bland food can make you want to give up. Jazz up your food with cayenne pepper, curry and any other spice that you like. Add some low-calorie sweetener to your yoghurt.
- If you’re still actively breastfeeding, your milk production will drop drastically. Wait till you’re after the 6-month hump and your baby is no longer completely dependent on your milk.
- Use only a pinch of salt when frying egg whites. Anything more and you’ll practically be eating salt.
- Apples are a great snack to eat if you feel faint.
- Eat foods you like or you might give up. Do vary your meals as much as possible.
- Prepare and plan your meals AND your snacks in advance. Chop your vegetables and freeze them in advance if possible.
- Use hand weights to exercise. They will keep you from losing lean muscle mass.
- You can take a snack before breakfast and then take a late breakfast. You’ll end up feeling less hungry by the day’s end.
