After you finish:
Congratulations on making it to Day 8. This diet takes endurance and discipline but also has many benefits. When you wake up on Day 8, weigh yourself first thing in the morning to determine the amount of weight lost. This will be a huge motivational factor for any future times you think of doing this diet.
We hope that you enjoyed the process and the good news is that, today, you can treat yourself to a nice meal(s).
Eat responsibly...
Although the tough part is over, the more important part still lays ahead – maintenance.
If you wish to maintain the weight you have achieved or lose even more over the course of the coming weeks and months, you must make a lifestyle change.
Making a lifestyle change is easier than you think and small steps go a long way. Some examples of this are:
1. Continue to drink 8 glasses a day2. Reduce caffeine intake to one cup tea/coffee in the morning and evening
3. Incorporate more fruit in your meals. Add one banana or ½ cup blueberries to your oatmeal or breakfast cereal
4. Drink more milk and add more dairy products to your regular diet
5. Eat fish and chicken instead of pork and beef
6. Whenever possible eat cold-water fish like Salmon and Tuna for health benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids
7. Two nights a week have only light soup and salad for dinner
8. Use cooking methods like steaming and grilling instead of frying
9. To increase fiber content, eat as many vegetables as you can per meal – in soups, salads, stir-fry and as sides to the main meal
10. Exercise. The benefits of exercise are tremendous and have many benefits such as lowering blood sugar and pressure, reducing risks of certain types of cancers etc. Cardiovascular exercises such as walking, running, swimming and biking are the best forms. Yoga has many health benefits too.
