Key Tips Before Starting the Diet

  • Stick strictly to the foods listed in the diet. It’s best to clear tempting snacks and sweets from your home to avoid temptation.
  • Follow the specified portion sizes in the weight loss meal plan exactly to ensure the diet’s effectiveness.
  • Avoid alcohol during the diet. Drink only plain water, grapefruit juice, or lemonade—always without added sugar.
  • You can swap days within the same week’s menu (for example, eat day 4’s menu on day 2, and replace day 4 with day 2’s menu), but don’t mix menus from different weeks.
  • Allow about 5 hours between lunch and dinner.
  • If you have any health conditions, consult your doctor before starting the diet plan. This diet is not recommended for pregnant women.
