Sacred Heart Diet: Heart Healthy Weight Loss in One Week?

#1. The actual food for the diet is all natural, and not bought through some ridiculous mail order menu system or something... so it's cheap and healthy. The soup is made from scratch, lots of fresh raw veggies and fruits, and some meat on two of the days to round things out. Just staying away from processed foods for a week like the Sacred Heart Diet recommends is always a good idea.

#2 no supplements or herbal concoctions... all natural, means all cheap stuff you can buy in the grocery store.

#3 You'll still have enough energy on the diet to exercise.

#4 you actually will lose 5 to 10 pounds of weight in the week, and one week is short enough that most people should be able to stick to it with a bit of willpower.

#1 Anytime you're losing more than at most 4 pounds in a week (and for anyone not obese, that number's more like 2), it's not going to be fat. Losing water isn't helpful, since your body is way better off when it's got a lot of fluids, and losing muscle is even less helpful because it lowers your metabolism and makes it likely you'll gain all the weight back and then some.

#2 the strict setup is a little strange, and feels more like it's made to seem complicated and therefore useful, instead of actually being set up in a way that will help you lose weight faster.

It won't do any harm... but what you really need to ask yourself... what are your weight loss goals? Are you looking for permanent weight loss? Are you looking to lose the weight and keep it off? Do you have high cholesterol and need to improve your heart's health?

Do you want a permanent change in how you look and feel instead of just a few days a week from now?

To be honest, you're a lot better off making small changes and sticking to them permanently. It's not that hard if you pick one thing to focus on each week! And the results can be surprisingly fast depending on what you pick to change.

If you're looking to lose weight, there's a lot of good information that'll make the difference, though the real trick is making /permanent/ changes, so it's less about drastic, and more about finding a healthier lifestyle.

If you're looking for a great step by step way to make your own diet though, you should check out Strip That Fat. It's the most affordable, useful system I've come across, since it's built to help you find a way to lose weight and still enjoy life and not have to try to hard... which means custom building the your own system instead of following some pre-fab diet that will only work for some. So if you've got a few spare pesos, it's well worth it to check this out.

Check out Strip That Fat.

So, that's it for this week's fad diet. Maybe next week I'll try the master cleanse... though on second thought, maybe that's a terrible idea. Heh.

Anyway, Good luck my friends! And remember, you're way better off finding a permanent diet that's healthy and delicious and relatively easy than trying to lose a bunch all at once with a tough diet. It's not as fast or exciting, but a healthy lifestyle seems to really be the best thing.
