Meal Routine for Day 4:

Abstinence from bananas on day one has officially been banished on this day. You can have milk and bananas as meals for the rest of the day. The number of bananas that you can have are six with at most four glasses of milk. Bananas and milk will provide you with sodium, cal- cium and potassium that might be lacking in the rest of the edible items that you’ve consumed in the previous three days.

Sample Diet Plan:

•Wake Up: 1 tall glass skimmed milk •Breakfast: 2 big bananas
•Mid Morning: 1 glass skimmed milk •Lunch: 1 glass banana milkshake •Mid Afternoon: 1 glass skimmed milk •Evening Snack: 1 banana

•Dinner: 1 glass banana milkshake •Before Sleep: 1 glass skimmed milk •Pre Workout: 1 big banana
•Post Workout: 1 glass banana milkshake

Meal Routine for Day 5:

Get ready for the happy dance because day five is a day of joy and festivities for you where you get to enjoy actual meals.

Soups can be consumed like tomato soup with little sugar, sprouts salad, cot- tage cheese or paneer, soya chunks with a tangy tomato sauce. Also, increase your water intake because you must aim to excrete uric acid from your body through urine. This process is known as detoxifica- tion.

•Wake Up: 1 tall glass water
•Breakfast: 1 bowl sprouts salad
•Mid Morning: 1 small cup tomato soup •Lunch: 8-10 medium cube sized low fat paneer saute
•Mid Afternoon: Half cup sprouts salad •Evening Snack: Half soya chunks stir fried with veggies + 2 tbsp tangy tomato sauce

•Dinner: 1 cup sautéed sprouts with 8-10 medium cube sized low fat paneer •Before Sleep: 1 small cup tomato soup •Pre Workout: Half cup soaked sprouts raw salad

•Post Workout: 75g low fat paneer bhurji half cup sprouts salad

Meal Routine for Day 6:

Ah, here comes the second last day of your weight loss regime! This day brings more veggies excluding tomatoes. Toma- toes should be avoided on this day, except that all vegetables can be eaten and lots of water should be ingested for the process of detoxification.

•Wake Up: 1 tall glass water + half dash lemon
•Breakfast: 1 bowl mixed vegetable soup •Mid Morning: Half cup crunchy veg- etable salad

•Lunch: 1 bowl sautéed mixed vegetables + Half cup sweet corn soup
•Mid Afternoon: 5 sticks each of cucum- ber and carrot

•Dinner: 1 bowl clear vegetable soup + half cup tossed green salad

Meal Routine for Day 7:

This is the last day of your diet regime, which isn’t as restrictive as the previous ones were. You can have chapattis, fruit

juices, vegetable soups, one cup of brown rice. Con- sumption of these things will make you feel light and happy inside out. Once again, I must emphasize on the detail that consumption of water is a must because it will reg- ulate the process of detoxification evenly.

•Wake Up: 1 tall glass water + half dash lemon
•Breakfast: 2 phulka + half cup cabbage subzi

•Mid Morning: 1 glass fresh homemade juice
•Lunch: 3/4th medium cup brown rice +half cup vegetable subzi

•Mid Afternoon: Half cup spinach soup •Evening Snack: 1 healthy vegetable warp •Dinner: 1 bowl broccoli and carrot salad + half cup mushroom soup

•Before Sleep: 1 glass fresh fruit home- made juice
•Pre Workout: 1 bowl vegetable soup

Some pointers that must be kept in mind when starting to follow this diet plan:
• No fruit juices for the first 6 days.
• No additional, fatty dressings on your salads except for lime, herbs or garlic.
• Drink lots of water.
• Workout for at least 45 minutes for bet- ter results.
• Avoid tea or coffee during these days. If you want to consume tea, have green tea, black tea or black coffee even but without an additional topping of sugar.n
