10 day challenge is not exempted from the basic rules of effective weight control. A typical weight losing dynamic is around 1-2 pounds lost per week, which means 500-1000 calorie limitations per day (5). Rapid weight reduction is often considered unhealthy, so drastic cut off is definitely not an advisable option for long term stable weight loss. Diets rich in protein, carbohydrates and fats are advised, with fresh vegetables, lean meats, fish and poultry is the major source of protein. Alcohol consumption is strictly discouraged, since the body uses up fat stores to detoxify.
When starting a 10 day challenge, it is important to make sure that you are consuming carbs (breads, rice, pasta and cereals) in moderation. Whole wheat bread can be quite beneficial, since it provides a higher level of fiber, making for more regular bowel movement. Rice cakes and pasta are also good, as they are very low in calories. It is advised to include a salad in one's daily menu, but be sure it is a salad that is low in sugar and carbohydrates, such as Romero, cucumber, tomato, carrot, spinach, etc.
A portion or two of fruit per day is highly advised, since the body uses up fat stores for energy. Carrots, mangoes, pineapple and bananas are high in potassium and provide the body with a great deal of vitamins and minerals. As long as there is at least five servings of fruit per day, and the remaining portion is protein and lower in calories and carbohydrates, the diet is considered successful.
Ketones have been used for decades in some Asian countries as a miracle cure for many ailments. While there is no medical research to verify their claims, most people who have used the diet state that ketones are indeed responsible for the effects seen. A good portion of the diet is made up of leafy green vegetables, which contain natural fat-burning properties that work as an aid to increased metabolism and burns excess calories in the body. It is important to make sure the vegetables one chooses to have very low levels of pesticides and have high water content. Too much water dilutes the fat-burning properties of the vegetable and makes it more difficult to experience its benefits.
On the second day of the 10 day challenge, followers are encouraged to post photos on Instagram of themselves doing what is called "the instagram shake." The Instagram shake is when followers drink a mixture of milk and maple syrup to add more body and color to their pictures. A-rod was another Instagram celebrity who was once spotted doing the shake on Instagram. The condiment has been proven to help increase metabolism, and thus increases weight lose.
On the third day of the challenge, followers were also encouraged to post pictures in another format. Pictures in another format include items like a picture of J.lo at his grocery store with the caption, "got any bread? Thought I'd try bread. Hope I look good in it!"
Finally, on the fourth day, followers were once again instructed to drink more water. Drinking more water helps to flush the sugar from the body and thus reduce the amount of insulin spikes that occur throughout the day when one is dieting. Insulin spikes occur when sugars, fats, and carbohydrates enter the bloodstream. Drinking more water reduces the amount of insulin spike, allowing you to keep your sugar level constant and will help you stick to your new diet, lessening the need to indulge in a sugary treat.
One of the best things about the diabetic friendly workouts suggested in the program is that they are specifically created for someone struggling with diabetes and insulin sensitivity. The exercises recommended act as a safety net so the person doesn't have to reach for the bottle of diabetic sugar each time they feel hungry. However, the biggest benefit of this workout plan is the motivation it gives to people who don't struggle with their blood sugar levels but still want to live a healthy lifestyle. If you're one of the thousands of diabetics trying to avoid eating too many carbs in order to stay healthy, but you're still eating too much of the wrong types of carbs, you'll benefit from the cardio exercises suggested in the program. By having a new set of goals and daily workouts to follow, you'll find it easier to maintain your current diet, while you learn new and fun ways to cut back on carbs.
