Fad diet is not really my thing. I just want to share this diet plan which is very famous in Taiwan.
The meal plan (in Chinese):
I tried this diet when I was not a vegetarian and when I was at my heaviest stage and when I hadn't discovered how working out is amazing 5 years ago. It kinda worked for me. I did not lose as much as it claims.
It claims to help losing 4kg for a cycle which you follow this 3-day meal plan and the rest of the week you eat healthily and you repeat it the following weeks. Consequently, you can lose 16kg in a month (please do not believe althought it sounds like a magic and there's a hope. be smart lol).
Well, I do not think fad diet is a magic pill. Eat healthily and working out plus a strong positive mind are the keys to success in diet. However, it takes a lot of effort and time to make it happen. I wonder why I jogged every day and I controled my eating habit so much but I couldn't see the result. I eventually gave up and I fell off the wagon. I realized I think about diet and me being fat more than anything else. It severely affects my life because I'm supposed to think about future/study etc. I didn't even like to record my diet calendar because it stressed me out so much. So, I gave up lol.
Now, looking into the mirror and struggling with the tight jean tell me that I gotta do something for myself but I do not know how and where to start it again. I feel weak. I feel unpretty. I feel very diffident. I'm thinking of this fad diet plan might give me a clue. I'm doing it this coming Sunday. And of course, I won't follow it blindly. Good luck to me. :)
