Panic Diet for Brides-7 days and 7 pounds

So its a week before the big day and your dress is a little tight. You meant to get serious and hit the gym harder but you got busy! Planning your wedding can be difficult with a job and or while in school! I have a great diet that I am trying right now to see if its effective.

Reasons I love it:
-You still get to eat
-It develops healthy habits
-Its very clean
-It produces fast results

Reasons its so hard:
-You basically have to eat at home
-It kicks out almost all carbs
-You are cutting calories and keeping a good work out in your schedule
-It isn't caffeine lover friendly

7 days of this:

Breakfast (pre-workout): Protein shake
Breakfast (post work out): Scrambled eggs (5 egg whites & 1 whole egg) with one grapefruit
Lunch: 1 chicken breast and a small side salad with lemon juice
Snack: 1/3 cup berries, 1/2 low fat cottage cheese and 5 almonds
Dinner: 6oz ham or lean meat with 1 cup steamed broccoli
Snack: 1/3 cup plain yogurt with one scoop protein powder

Drink: one cup of coffee a day, green tea and lots of WATER

Ok So I work and I don't do grapefruit or cottage cheese...so here is what mine looks like:

Breakfast: Protein shake
Snack: Greek yogurt, strawberries
Lunch: 1 chicken breast and a small side salad with lemon juice
Snack: 1/2 luna bar and berries
Dinner: 6oz ham or lean meat with 1 cup steamed broccoli or green beans
Snack: 1/3 cup plain yogurt with one scoop protein powder

It can be challenging (especially with work lunches and dinner with friends) but anyone can do anything for ONE WEEK and its set to loose weight quickly!!! I am on day 2, a little tired (because normally I drink 2-3 cups of coffee a day) and my stomach is growling still adjusting. Ill let you know how it goes!!

Stay tuned...
