How is it done?
1. The cereal diet consists of eating a high-fiber, whole grain cereal with low-fat or fat-free milk twice a day (for breakfast and lunch) and a sensible, well-balanced dinner over the course of two weeks. After two weeks, slowly introduce other foods, such as fruits, vegetables and nuts, into your morning and afternoon meal. After four weeks, you may begin to also eat a sensible, well-balanced lunch, but can still eat cereal for breakfast.
How does it work?
2. By eating cereal for breakfast and lunch, you are cutting calories big time! Instead of a pastrami sandwich with bread, lettuce, tomato and mayo, you are eating a bowl of cereal for lunch, ingesting 150 to 200 calories instead of 500 to 700 calories. If you're choosing a high-fiber, high-protein cereal, you will stay full until dinner. It is imperative that you eat breakfast and lunch at your regular hours so that your blood sugar doesn't drop and so that your metabolism keeps working.
What is the outcome?
3. Weight loss! You should lose only two pounds per week maximum. Gradual weight loss is not only the healthiest way to lose weight but the best way to maintain your new weight.
