Personal trainer David Kirsch claims his Ultimate New York Diet Plan can help you lose 14 lb. and transform your body in just two weeks. To follow the two-week plan, though, you need to have a certain level of physical fitness because it involves intense exercise sessions as well as a strict diet.
New York Diet Basics
On the New York Diet Plan, you cannot consume bread, alcohol, dairy, sweets, starchy carbohydrates, coffee or fruits. You eat mainly vegetables, protein shakes and lean meats. You are allowed to consume only 900 calories or less per day. Daily exercise sessions last for 90 minutes and include both resistance training and cardio exercise.
Benefits
Because the calorie intake on this diet is so low and you exercise so much, you will probably see rapid weight loss during the first two weeks of the plan. This can help motivate you to stick with your weight loss efforts. Besides losing weight, you will probably also improve your cardiovascular fitness and add muscle while losing fat if you follow the exercise recommendations.
Risks
The New York Diet Plan recommends a calorie level that is way too low for most people, as women shouldn't consume less than 1,200 calories per day and men shouldn't consume less than 1,500 calories per day on a diet, according to MedlinePlus. You may also develop nutrient deficiencies on this diet because it eliminates whole food groups, including fruits, dairy products and grains. In addition, the fast weight loss on the New York Diet Plan isn't sustainable. People who lose weight quickly on fad diets like this tend to gain it back once they return to normal eating.
Considerations
The Surgeon General recommends you lose only 1 to 2 lb. per week by making long-term changes to your diet and exercise habits. Consume a healthy diet containing all of the food groups but eat between 500 and 1,000 calories less per day to achieve the recommended weight loss. Add exercise to increase your weight loss and help maintain your muscle mass while you lose weight.
