I started this diet Friday 22/08/14
The focus of this diet is to replace bread with ryvita crackers and drinks with plain water + lemon. The main food is dry beans which are soaked for 8 hours then cooked for 30min sometimes up to 1hr depends on bean. Then coated with a touch of vinegar and lemon. Then eat. I soak beans every night for the next day.
The diet goes like this:
Monday BREAKFAST: 2 ryvitas with spread cheese + coffee, LUNCH: beans, DINNER: beans with tuna or other fish.
Tuesday BREAKFAST: 2 ryvitas with spread cheese + coffee, LUNCH: beans, DINNER: beans with tuna or other fish.
Wednesday BREAKFAST: 2 ryvitas with spread cheese + coffee, LUNCH: beans, DINNER: beans with tuna or other fish.
Thursday BREAKFAST: 2 ryvitas with spread cheese + coffee, LUNCH: beans, DINNER: beans with tuna or other fish.
Friday BREAKFAST: 2 ryvitas with spread cheese + coffee, LUNCH: beans, DINNER: beans with tuna or other fish.
At lunch I sometimes add grilled fish to break the boredom or tuna.
CHEAT DAYS:
Saturday BREAKFAST eggs on toast with coffee, LUNCH: Eat anything, DINNER: Eat anything except bread
Sunday Basically same as Saturday but a bit less norti.
So far my waisteline is about 4 inches less and getting slimmer in the face.
My weight was 130kg - my target is 95kg. Lets see how far I get. LOL

All those beans! Better stay up-wind of me then. Point it elsewhere. lol
Cooking hint: cook beans without salt, they cook faster. Add salt later

I am on an exercise regime rather than a diet, hope it works well for you, I am not strong willed enough to give up yummy foods.

I'm doing hand weights at night too. I have a Z-bar which is pretty good for the arms and to raise the metabolic rate. I like yummy food too but I got to drop the weight.

There is a trick for the wind. Make sure you change the water when rinsing at least once during the 8hrs then cook the beans well otherwise fireworks will happen LOL 😉

What, no takers yet? I thought you were going to do the diet with me ?
Beans are a superfood full of antioxidants, packed full of vitamins and minerals. You should think about it more you know! Come on? 😉
