Doctors and nutritionists make it a point to say the best way to lose weight is to do it slowly. This means by losing no more than 10 pounds per month. In addition to exercising regularly and getting enough sleep, it's important to eat the right foods to get the weight off and keep it off. However, despite the warnings, many people want to lose weight quickly and don't want to hear about potential dangers. Diets that include one serving of protein, two servings of fresh vegetables, one serving of fresh fruit and eight glasses of water per day are generally more healthy.
Step 1
Swallow 1 to 3 tsp. of apple cider vinegar before eating a meal when you try the apple cider vinegar diet. The apple cider vinegar acts as an appetite suppressant and most people find it difficult to eat much after taking it in. Start off with 1 tsp. and work your way up to 2 tsp. after three days. By the time you have been on the diet six days, you can try 3 tsp. Do not use the the diet for more than two weeks at a time. The acidic nature of the apple cider vinegar will irritate the stomach, and it can also have a corrosive effect on your teeth. Many people lose 10 to 20 lbs. while on the two-week diet.
Step 2
Try the three-day diet if you want to lose 5 lbs. or more over three-day period. You must drink four bottles of water per day to go along with the following low-calorie foods. Here is the first day on the diet and the other days are quite similar (see Resources). Breakfast: Black coffee or tea, half a grapefruit or 8 oz. of orange juice, one piece of toast with 1 tbsp. of peanut butter. Lunch: 1 cup of low-fat cottage cheese with six crackers. Dinner: Two beef franks, 1 cup of broccoli, 1/2 cup of carrots and half a banana
Step 3
Try the bread-and-butter diet to lose as much as 10 lbs. in a week. The bread-and-butter diet allows you to eat bread and butter with every meal. Here's a typical day on the bread-and-butter diet. Breakfast: One slice of raisin bread with butter, one boiled egg. Lunch: 3.5 oz. of salmon, 3 oz. of lettuce, one tomato, one slice of white bread with butter. Dinner: 4 oz. of broiled hamburger (drain the fat), one hamburger roll, one slice of pickle and a green salad. See Resources for more information.
