The 31 days diet

Now is the time when you start thinking, we know, we know, vegetables and green things without flavour, lots of water and exercise and then we will be slim. But that means awful days feeling hungry and weak.
We will tell you this, we love to eat, we love food, meals time is a happy time for us, and a diet that implies to be hungry and make lots of restrictions, for us it means to stop the diet even before we start. That’s not what we are talking about, that’s not a healthy way to lose weight and even less a way to learn how to eat for your life.
The diet we started to follow has been aloud us to loose weight but most of all, it has been teaching how to have a healthy  life! And you'll see, it's easy!

We know you can't handle more.. let's talk about the 31 days diet then..

Principles:

• It is semi-proteic so you will consume more proteins and less carbohydrates;
• Eating low amounts of carbohydrates will change your metabolism process and that will make you loose weight without feeling hungry;
• It is important to follow the different stages of the diet which we will explain;
• The diet is separated in 4 stages;
• It's not appropriate to practice exercise on a hard way, you can do some jogging, dance...You must not feel hungry, every time you feel hungry you must eat to keep a fast metabolism. But bare in mind the allowed food for each stage of the diet;
• As the sweets are full of sugars they're not allowed. You can still have sweet flavour food like sugar free jelly's and sweeteners
• Juices and alcohol are not allowed despite coke light or coke life, which can help in cases of anxiety;
• Once a week you'll have 'the cheating day', and on that day... YOU CAN EAT WHATEVER YOU WANT!!

What are you thinking until now? May you try? Not convinced yet?

Let's see the stages:

• Stage 1 (only for 15 days)
• You can eat carbohydrates (1 wholemeal bread, 2 slices of wholemeal bread, 30gr or 3 tsp of oatmeal or oat bran);
•  The dairy products are limited to: 1 glass of milk, 1 yogurt without sugar, 2 little cheeses (laughing cow or babybel);
• You can eat any type of protein (meat, fish, tofu, soya or seitan), preferably low fat protein;
• You may join vegetables to the protein except potato, cuscuz, cooked carrot, corn, peas, beetroot and pumpkin;
• Do not eat grain legumes neither fruit;
• Do not eat sweets;
• Do not drink alcohol neither juices;
• One 'Cheat day' per week;
• If you feel you cannot take all carbohydrates from your diet, you can start it on the stage 3.
• Stage 2 (for the time you feel is necessary to loose almost all the weight)
• Add some fruit: 1 apple/pear/orange/peach or 2 kiwis/ tangerine or 1 glass of red fruits;
• Add 3 meals of only soup and jelly ou yogurt with 2-3 servings of fruit.
• Same limitations as on stage 1;
• One 'Cheat day' per week.
• Stage 3 (2-3kg before ideal weight)
• At lunch time you can eat 3 tsp of rice or wholemeal pasta, grain, peas, corn, cooked carrot, grains, beans, pumpkin, cuscuz;
• You can keep eating 10 almonds, 3 nuts, 20 pistachio...
• One 'Cheat day' per week.
• Stage 4 (Maintenance)
• There's no forbidden food!
• Compensate the days with ingestion of more carbohydrates with more restrictive days;
• Do not eat carbohydrates after 18h00, when the metabolism starts to slow down.
• If you feel it's necessary you can always do some days of the stage 2 or 3.
