Four Week Diet Plan (Week Two)

Congratulations you have just done a week without soda, juices and alcohol. Ask yourself how I you feel? If you are thinking I am feeling very good about how I feel, then read on. The feeling will only get better as you go through the weeks. In week two we are going to cut the bleached white products in our diet by half and cut out products with high fructose corn syrup totally. You really need to think about these two products and eliminate them where possible. You will be surprised what food products these two elements are in. white bleached food products White bleached food products are exactly what the name says. They are products bleached white. Ask yourself would you drink bleach? No of course you wouldn’t, that would be stupid. So why do we eat bleached white products that come in a non-bleached form? Easy. They look prettier. They taste no different and have increased calories, carbohydrates and fat.

The easiest example to give you is flour. There is white bleached flour and whole meal flour. What is the difference? One has unnecessary bleach in it. Next time you bake a cake bake two cakes and taste both blindfolded. Try to distinguish the difference between the two. There is no difference in the taste. We just think it looks nicer. Once you have iced a cake does anyone really notice the color inside? No they don’t. There is one very easy way to distinguish products with white bleach in. Does the product also come in a brown, beige or an off-white color? If the answer is yes, then it is the same product with bleach in it. high fructose corn syrup (hfcs)HFCS is added to products to sweeten them. HFCS makes products just as sweet as sucrose from sugar cane or beets do, except HFCS also requires fermenting liquids, chemicals and fungus. The reason companies use HFCS rather then sugar is because it is cheaper. If you are thinking fair enough then what is the price of your health? Is it cheap? No of course it isn’t.

HFCS is classified as a secondary genetically modified food. It is in a lot of daily foods and drinks we consume. The most common are jams, sauces and soda (e.g. ketchup and soda). HFCS is higher in carbohydrates, fats and calories.

So this is why we are going to eliminate it from our diets this week By the end of week two there will be no soda, juice, half the white bleached products and

no HFCS. Sounds good, doesn’t it?

Sucrose is thought to be safer for diabetics to consume rather than HFCS (however, there is insufficient research to support this). Therefore whether you are diabetic or not why put your pancreas through the extra strain when there are better alternatives. The body is only a shell of the person we are but we only get one body. There are certain organs that thanks to medical intervention we can live without. Also the body is very useful at having two of some organs, your pancreas; liver and heart do not come under either category. Medical intervention can support them for limited time but it will normally equal less quality of life. Once one of these organs stops functioning, its over. Your body will be no more. This sounds drastic, but it’s true, we only get one chance to look after our body so let’s start now.

Week Two Diet Plan

This week you will need to follow the plan below-

As you read earlier, you are now not to eat high fructose corn syrup. This is why corn flakes have now been removed from the diet plan. You must half your intake of white bleached products. So if last week on your free choice you kept having a sandwich on white bread or baguette then try this week to have brown bread or something totally different than a sandwich. Also remember that your free choice meal still has to be 150 calories or less. The drinks you are allowed and not allowed are still the same as last week.

*These items should be fresh fruit not canned.
