There are good and bad drinks, however this diet is about timing so ideally you will drink white wine, white spirits if you can with diet mixers such as tonic or soda water. White wine spritza may well be an 80's fashion drink but makes your allowance last much longer. For every glass of wine have a large glass of water, plus a large glass of water before you go to bed this also helps reduce
hangovers.
Every night have a mug of hot water with slice of lemon
Portion control... I found I cooked double portions compared to perhaps a meal I would get in a restaurant. Portion control is easy, take a normal size dinner plate, for breakfast and lunch you should see at least 1/3 of
plate empty. The height of you food should be no more than 2 CM. For desert you should have a smaller plate probably 1/3rd of
size of
dinner plate.
Please do this approx, remember this is about a life change not controlled diet experiment!
Fitness control... You need to work out 3 times a week for at least 40 minutes allowing for a 5 min warm up and 5 min stretch warm down. Monday, Wednesday and Friday work well. Dont worry about going to a gym I workout from home. My living room with all
furniture pushed back makes for a good dance studio. In
first month, you need to enjoy working out if it becomes a hasle you have broken all chance of loosing weight. Put all your favouite up tempt songs onto one cd and time if for 30 minutes. Your warm up should be stepping, lunges and a few squats basically you are warming up
mussels. For 30 miuites dance your heart out! move your legs with perhaps some kicks to
front, side and back, use your arms to punch forward and out to
side. Squat to
sound of
music generally work up a sweat dancing keep moving and dont stand still if you are out of breath at least step on
spot with some arm movements. After your dance work out do at least 50 stomach/ab crunches sets of 10 with 30 seconds rest will be good for beginners. After your first month invest in a kick boxing DVD workout video, you should now have a good basic fitness level. Kick boxing with dance will allow you to start toning all areas of your body with a maximum fat burn.
Note this is for someone of around 13/14 stone,
larger you are
longer you need e.g. 16 stone you need 2 months minimum and 18 stone 3 months minimum of dancing before you get into a dvd workout.
I am accounting that you will be doing light housework through
week, if you dont add at least 20 minutes into your sunday which could be a long but brisque walk. Walking
dog during
week doesn't count as your exercise this is a little bonus!
