Lose Weight Program > Lose 10 Pounds in 10 Days

The fatter you are, the more you can expect to lose on this diet. The average overweight person who is reasonably active physically can anticipate an actual fat loss of about five pounds in ten days. Total loss of weight should be even greater and immensely gratifying.



An average loss of a pound a day, or a total of ten pounds at the end of the ten-day period, is not too much to hope for as the readjusting tissues begin to eliminate surplus water. Your actual weight loss will depend upon physical activity, previous caloric diet level, rate of metabolism, tendency of tissues to retain water, and other factors. In rare cases of extreme water retention it may take four or five more days to show maximum weight loss, but when it does show up, it often does so with pleasing suddenness. If you don't get results on this diet - we hate to say it - the suspicion is in order that you're doing between-meal "piecing" or sneaking in an extra snack here and there. At its level of approximately 750 calories, weight loss is inevitable.

YOU MAY

Take as much water, black coffee, or clear tea as you wish. Restrict salt, though this is unnecessary unless there is actual water retention.
Use saccharin for sweetening coffee or tea.
Use lemon or orange in tea.
Use salt, pepper, and vinegar in salad dressings.
Take a daily teaspoon of baking soda in water to guard against possible acidosis.
Take a daily tablespoon of calcium phosphate for mineral values if your doctor approves.
Change the order of foods within the day.
Use the milk allowance in coffee or tea.
Add white of a second egg to egg portions for greater satisfaction, few calories.
Change the order of a day's complete menu from one day to another if it helps you better to utilize cans of opened foods.
Substitute one meat for another (but retain the two servings of liver).
Use buttermilk instead of skim milk.


YOU MUST

Boil or poach eggs (any method except frying).
Broil, boil, bake, or roast meats, never fry them.
Use water-packed apricots, peaches, etc., or drain off the heavy syrup.
Eat only the lean portion of meats.


YOU MUST NOT

Use mayonnaise or oil dressings (mineral oil is permissible but may prevent Vitamin A absorption from vegetables; Vitamin Cocktail guards against this).
Use sugar or butter, cream or fats in foods or their preparation.
Omit items (except coffee or tea) or eat less food than is allowed per day.
Continue the diet beyond ten days without your doctor's permission, or begin it if he advises against rapid reduction for special reasons (the diet is perfectly safe for anyone in normal health).
