Your life can change in just 7 days…

Okay, that probably sounds like a TV advertisement. But truly, the 7-day diet could be the life-turning method you have been looking for.

This method is the all-you-can-eat diet. It assigns certain foods a person can indulge on particular days. Nevertheless, this system of weight loss can lead to initial loss of considerable amounts of extra pounds. It gives a person a head start in dieting.

Advantages

- It leads to weight loss since it only involves fruits and vegetables on its menu.

- It guarantees immediate weight loss and is good for people who need immediate solutions to their bulging waistlines.

- The method is free, so to speak. Expenses go directly to the very basic foods.

Disadvantages

- It is a very strict plan that follows pre-determined sets of food for one whole week.

- It is not a sustainable diet as it creates deficits on important nutrients and calories needed by the body to function normally throughout the day. It is, long story short, a very unbalanced diet.

- It is a fad diet; this alone raises the flag for people who opt for healthy and well-balanced diets as opposed to those methods that use drastic measures.

- Daily caloric intake is, on the average, lesser than normal.

- Participants of this method claim that they lost anywhere from 5 to 14 pounds after 7 days, which is a good thing for some people. However, dropping this number of pounds quickly may prove unhealthy for the long haul as it leads to the collapse of some systems in the body. Also, through methods like this, reverting weight is often a threat.

Verdict

If examined from a day-to-day basis, this method is not a very balanced one. However, when viewed from the larger picture, it is a somewhat balanced diet. Nevertheless, it is only recommended to be performed for only one week.
