Pineapple Diet: How to Lose Weight in Just 5 Days Page 3

One-day meal plan

This is how a typical day looks during the five days of following the diet.

For breakfast, you get 2-3 slices of pineapple with 1 cup of low-fat yogurt and oatmeal. Your first snack includes 1 glass of pineapple juice and one hard-boiled egg.

Lunch is usually the versatile meal. You can choose to eat grilled tuna with 1 cup of pineapple. Another option is a simple broth prepared with vegetables of your choice. Aside from tuna, you can also grill one fillet of chicken. Your afternoon snack is again a glass of pineapple juice and low-fat yogurt.

For dinner, people opt for chicken and pineapple salad. This salad also includes tomatoes and asparagus.

Basically, for your lunch and dinner, you can combine any fish, chicken, or turkey fillet with pineapple. For even bigger benefits, some people consume a cup of green tea or a glass of apple cider vinegar and honey in the morning before breakfast. This helps you flush even more toxins.

Bonus points

Here are some bonus points and tricks how to maximize the effect of the pineapple diet.

• Make sure to prepare a large batch of vegetable broth so that it’s ready whenever you want it.
• Do some light exercise during those five days. If you completely avoid exercise, you might experience muscle loss.
• Be ready to control yourself once the diet is over. Since it’s a restrictive diet, you might feel the urge to overeat once the diet is over.
• Make sure to keep yourself hydrated during the five days. Without proper hydration, this diet will increase the acidity of your body.
• When you use tuna for lunch, opt for the oil-packed version, not the water-packed version. The former has more nutrients.
• There is a possibility of diarrhea, so be prepared if that happens. Do not panic!
• If you get rashes around the corners of your mouth, stop the diet immediately.

An alternative approach

Some people just cannot survive for five days eating only pineapple, tuna, and chicken. The good news is that you can always try an alternative approach.

The alternative approach involves cutting 500 calories from your typical diet. In addition, you can replace your daily cup of fruit with pineapple. As we know, most diets recommend 1 to 2 cups of fruit per day. Make sure that you consume only pineapple for those two cups. Replace your dessert with ½ cup of pineapple. You can add pineapple to your morning smoothie or snack. By adding pineapple to your diet, you will burn more calories and increase the micro and macro nutrients in your diet.

And of course, try to get 5 hours of moderate cardio exercise during the week. Previous Page
