Ever wonder which eating plan is right for you? With so many different ways to lose weight, what would work for you vs. another way? Is the 4-Hour BODY’s slow carb diet the way to go? How about Atkins’ Protein diet? Maybe a detox diet is the way to go? How do we know what we need and what would work best? I have put together a chart below, showing 4 Different Eating Plans for Fast Weight Loss to make it easy for you. I also wanted to include a couple of recipes that would be good for all 4, depending on which plan you go with, that will be enjoyable to eat and have you feeling satisfied. I want you to wake up and say to yourself…
This weekend was phe-nom. Anyone else feel that way? I got a lot of work done but also took some time off for a date with my boys. We went to the pool at the rec. centre. Plus I’m super happy because I re-arraged a whole bunch of furniture in my home and sold a bunch of stuff on Craigslist that I’ve been meaning to do for a while. I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned my obsession with Craigslist, but there you go… I have one. I’m consistently buying and selling E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G on there. I think I’ve mastered it so if you ever have any questions about that, let me know.
Anyway, back to the subject at hand…

Protein Diet
The rules
You can eat proteins, but you should avoid fat meats such as pork. Have grilled chicken, fish or even red meat.
Do not eat fried foods! Never ever! They are not good at all! They will only add up fat to your body and will not be good for your metabolism either.
Allowed Foods
Proteins in general, such as cooked eggs, grilled chicken (breast or thigh would be best)
Beef (without fat!)
Fish in general (preferably grilled)
Other allowed foods:
You can eat as many vegetables as you would like.
In the morning, drink ATHLETIC GREENS before eating anything else in order to boost your body with energy and to enhance your body metabolism all day long!

Detox Diet
The rules
You can have lighter foods that will detox your body.
Have light soups with a few vegetables; stews are also a very good idea!
Eat a couple of fruits such as bananas and apples! They will help your body feel good!
Drink green tea to detox your system.
Drink fresh juices as well. The best fruits for detox diets are juices made out of watermelon, melon, coconut water and star fruit.
Drink at least 2 liters of mineral water per day!
Do Not:
Forget to exercise or
forget your ATHLETIC GREENS IN THE MORNING.
Eat fried foods of any sort.
Have sweets such as chocolate.
Eat processed foods of any sort.
Drink any kind of processed beverage such as carton juices and carbonated drinks!
· Eat meats, bad/ white carbohydrates and proteins in general.

Eat at least 4 ounces of meat

1 cup of cooked grains
Take Salad greens
Natural juices and natural foods in general are good

For lunch or dinner this Korean Barbecue Tofu Bowl with Stir-Fried Veggies is suitable for all of these diets but will have you saying YUM!
Get the recipe here at Oh My Veggies. Oh my…was this delicious! I used BRAGG instead of soy sauce to make it even healthier. Bragg Liquid Aminos is a Certified NON-GMO liquid protein concentrate derived from soybeans that tastes just like soy sauce but is waaaaaaay healthier.
