Shortcuts can help but it is not the best way to go.
For today, I will be giving a menu that’s really intended for losing weight fast and to help speed up our metabolism.
The downside of this is that, these set meals can’t be altered in any way and also this fast track mode to lose weight is not highly advisable. The author said that diets are not really advisable as it will burn more lean muscle and body water than the body fat.(This means faster in losing weight than burning the fat, so without proper exercise, the fat will stay which will make us gain more weight in the future after we’ve stopped the “diet”) (This is why people who stop working out in the gym gain weight fast)
anyway, i’ll still be posting the set menu because it can also help us control what we eat, and this can actually be a good headstart for those just planning to lose weight. =)
Here is the menu:
Day 1:
Breakfast: ½ grapefruit, 1 toast (no butter), 2 teaspoons of peanut-butter
Lunch: 5 fl oz of tuna-fish, 1 toast.
Dinner: 3 oz beef (lean), 10 fl oz green beans, 10 fl oz beetroot, 1 small apple, 10 fl oz vanilla ice-cream
Day 2:
Breakfast: 1 boiled egg, 1 toast, ½ banana
Lunch: 10 fl oz cottage cheese, 5 salty crackers
Dinner: 2 hot dogs, 10 fl oz broccoli, 5 fl oz carrots, 5 fl oz banana, 5 fl oz vanilla ice-cream
Day 3:
Breakfast: 1 boiled egg, 1 toast
Lunch: 5 slices of cheddar-cheese, 5 salty crackers, 1 small apple
Dinner: 10 fl oz tuna-fish(conserved in water), 10 fl oz beetroot, 10 fl oz cauliflower, 5 fl oz honey melon, 5 fl oz vanilla ice-cream.

BTW…I did my weight assessment with fitness first, I was able to maintain my weight, so it’s still 126lbs from what I mentioned in my entry about playing Wii fitness and getting my weight there. Hopefully my hardwork this week will pay off for my weight in next friday. =)
Cheers!
