5 Day Miracle Diet Review

 

The goal of the "5 Day Miracle Diet" is to decrease food cravings by managing blood sugar levels. Once you're able to balance the blood sugar in your body, you are supposed to be able to control the wide swings in your energy level which often lead people to eating high-sugar junk food. The two major contributors to blood sugar increases are the time of day that you eat and the kind of food you eat.

Adele Puhn, creator of the "5 Day Miracle Diet" outlines definitive rules to help achieve your goal. For example, plan to eat breakfast within 30 minutes of waking, and have lunch no later than 1 p.m. Plan to finish dinner by 7 p.m. At no time should you consume yogurt, bananas or bagels. According to Puhn, the diet will only work if it's followed strictly.

Breakfast: eat starch such as wheat toast or egg whites.
Snack: eat hard-chew snack like an apple or celery. It promises to release sugar slowly into the bloodstream.
Lunch: eat before 1 P.M. and only protein and vegetables. No carbs.
Dinner: eat before 7 P.M. and consume protein and veggies.
Reality: Well, irrespective of the concepts of blood sugar, this is basically a decreased calorie diet that attempts to curb high-sugar intake. That is going to lead to weight loss. But, the big problem is that the regimen is highly restrictive and that almost always spells long term failure. The reality of popular diet products and programs is that few work in the long term because they don't focus on the sustainable strategies of balanced nutrition, exercise and personal motivation. But don't be discouraged, there are good plans out there that can help you achieve your goals.
