Diet Plans And Menus - Revisiting The Bikini Diet

There is no danger in merely reading about diets. But please, never undertake any diet without discussing its pros and cons with a qualified health care professional. You can really harm yourself by not taking proper precautions. Don't expect to lose pound after pound quickly and effortlessly. Keeping these precautions in mind you are now ready to consider the Bikini Diet.

The Bikini Diet was the brainchild of Maggie Greenwood-Robinson. Its very name should give you an idea of this diet's objectives. The initial phase lasts 30 days. During the 14 day second phase dieters may lose weight even more quickly. The final phase is called the stabilization phase. Because the daily calorie intake is between 900 and 1100 calories dieters lose weight relatively quickly. Learn how to make the Bikini soup to deal with raging hunger. It's fairly simple: simmer for an hour in a large pot 2 yellow squash, 1 large onion, 3 celery stalks, 800 grams (a little less than 2 pounds) of tomatoes, one half cabbage, 1.2 liters (about 1.25 quarts) of chicken bouillon, salt, and pepper. I know if I were allowed only 1100 calories a day, I'd be hitting this soup often.

Here are some Bikini Diet principles: Drink some 8 to 10 glasses of water a day. Eat lots of proteins. Take supplements such as antioxidants, calcium tablets, and lineolic acid. Practice a sport such as weight lifting.

Advantages of the Bikini Diet may include rapid weight loss. It is easy to choose what you eat because you eat two portions of the same food category each day. This diet's major disadvantage is its draconian nature. The diet can be very tiring and often leads to frustration.

Here is a sample menu: For breakfast have a peach milkshake and a cup of green tea or coffee. For lunch have an apple and a fat-free, sugar-free plain yoghurt. Your mid-afternoon snack is 75 grams (about two and a half ounces) of broiled chicken breast, a half cup of green beans, and a fat-free, sugar-free plain yoghurt. Supper means 100 grams (about three and a half ounces) of broiled haddock, a cup of squash and half a cup of kale.

A quick look at the Amazon web site revealed several Bikini diet books, by the founder herself and by others. Hardcover, softcover, and electronic copies are available. Don't get sidetracked by the multiple bikini books.
