Rapid Weight-Loss Plan

How to Start Your Day
Drink a hot cup of water with lemon or green tea to kick-start your digestion process for the day. This will also increase detoxification because the bitterness of the lemon activates the bile flow, which helps emulsify and remove fat-soluble toxins.

What to Eat for Breakfast
Start your day with a smoothie. Studies show that a protein-rich breakfast helps reduce your hunger hormone, steady your blood sugar and reduce metabolic fluctuations throughout the day.

What to Eat the Rest of the Day
Make protein-focused meals  for the remainder of your day. High-protein meals take more work to digest and metabolize, which means you burn more calories processing them. Plus, your body uses amino acids in protein to build lean muscle, which makes you more toned and helps burn calories when you aren't being active. Choose among poultry, fish or eggs as your main sources of protein for your meals and eat 12 ounces of protein and 1/2 cup Quinoa.

How Often to Eat
You can  drink the Vegetable Broth in unlimited amounts on the plan. It's filled with detoxifying vegetables and will keep you satiated throughout the day. You can also enjoy half a cup of quinoa along with unlimited amounts of non-starchy vegetables. Low-glycemic veggies take a long time for the body to absorb, so you'll stay fuller longer.

What Snacks to Eat
You can have two snacks a day on the plan. Snack on nuts, an apple with nut butter, 1 cup 2% plain Greek yogurt per day. Make sure the nuts are raw and unsalted and keep it to one serving (22 nuts). Just make sure you choose nuts or nut butter, not both. If you snack on nuts one day, save the nut butter for the next day.

What to Add 
-Multivitamin with 1000 IU of Vitamin D
-Detox bath every night (soak with 2 cups of Epsom Salt & 1 cup of baking soda) or 1/2 hour infrared sauna.

What to Eliminate
These are the foods you'll need to eliminate on the plan. Once you take these out of your diet, you'll lose weight faster and will have higher energy levels.
-Wheat
-Refined sugar
-Artificial sweeteners
-Dairy (except Greek Yogurt)
-Alcohol
-Processed foods
- No meals between 8pm-8am

How Much Caffeine to Have
You can have one cup of coffee a day. Use unsweetened vanilla almond milk or coconut milk as a sweetener.

Maintenance Plan

Rule #1: Reintroduce Food Groups One Week at a Time

Since your body has been without these foods for the past couple of weeks, it might have a reaction to them when they’re reintroduced into your diet. Start by testing each food with a half-cup serving to minimize the effect of any potential reactions.

• Week 1: Low-Fat Dairy

Add 2% milk, low-fat cheese and butter back into your diet. If you feel fine, continue eating dairy. If you bloat, gain weight or feel moody, cut ties with the food group.

• Week 2: Low-Glycemic Fruits

Start incorporating pears, oranges, mangoes and peaches back into your diet if you’d like.

• Week 3: Whole Grain Carbs

Introduce whole-grain bread, pasta and ancient grains back into your diet, but do it before 2 p.m.

Rule #2: Avoid Packaged Snack Foods

These types of snacks will pack on the pounds, so eat protein-based snacks such as hummus and veggies, hard-boiled eggs, turkey roll-ups and chickpeas instead. You should especially avoid sugary and diet snacks with artificial sweeteners.

Rule #3: Weigh Yourself Every Morning

People that weigh in every day have more long-term success. Look at the scale as your ally. Whether the number goes up or down, it can help you figure out what isn’t working and what you can get away with. Remember, the scale isn’t about getting a grade; it’s motivation to make progress.

Rule #4: Allow a Splurge Once a Week

Don’t strive for perfection in your diet, because perfection leads to failure. So indulge in a dessert, an entrée you’ve been craving or a glass of wine once a week.
