1000 Calorie Diet

BY James Penn


Trying the 1000 calorie diet is only advisable for one week, due to your body entering starvation mode and conserving fat. Overdoing the 1000 calorie diet is counterproductive to your body so try to stay on it for only 1 week. After 1 week you will loose between 3-5 pounds. The 1000 calorie diet can be used as a starter diet for a long term weight loss program. Try to aim for 2-3 pounds of weight loss and a good exercise program to begin with. After 1 week on the 1000 calorie diet, try upping your calorie intake or reverting back to a not so severe diet, this will prevent your body's metabolism from slowing down. Here is a simple 1000 calorie daily menu.
Breakfast
* Banana sandwich made with 2 slices of wholemeal bread and a small banana.
* Small glass of orange juice
Snack
* 1 pot of low fat yoghurt (preferably fruit)
Lunch
* 1 wholemeal roll filled with tuna and low fat mayonnaise (use tin tuna in spring water)
* Mixed lettuce salad, red or yellow sweet peppers, spring onions

Dinner

* 1 medium Potato, mashed with 30ml semi-skimmed milk
* Broccoli (all vegetables steamed or boiled)
