5 Day Apple Diet Plan to Lose 10 Pounds in a Week

The apple diet is a 5-day weight loss diet based on a 1200-calorie meal plan focused on apples.
On their meal plan, you’d be eating 5 apples throughout the day to drive weight loss and improve health.
Needless to say, it’s a diet menu where a major portion of each meal comes from apples.
While some meals may only contain apples, others are complete with proteins and veggies.
You’ll find more of those complete meals in the second half of the diet plan.
It’s a diet that’s meant to take advantage of the healthfulness of apples and the benefits of a low-calorie diet.
Apples are incredibly rich in fiber, yet still considered low-calories. They bring a wealth of health benefits such as the reduced risk of obesity, diabetes, and more.
But what also drives a massive and rapid weight loss on the apple diet is in its meal plan. It’s low in calories and mostly based on whole foods.
The 5-day apple diet plan includes:

Day 1

  • Breakfast: 2 Apples.
  • Lunch: 1 Apple.
  • Dinner: 3 Apples.

Day 2

  • Breakfast: 1 apple, 1 glass of skim milk or almond/ soy milk.
  • Lunch: 1 apple and avocado green salad, topped with seeds and nuts. Dress it with a lemon and apple cider vinegar dressing. 
  • Dinner: Apples.

Day 3

  • Breakfast: 1 apple; one slice of whole-grain bread and a slice of low-fat turkey bacon
  • Lunch: 1 apple and cabbage and carrot clear soup with chicken breast. 
  • Dinner: Apples

Day 4

  • Breakfast: 1 apple, a boiled egg, and one slice of whole-grain bread
  • Lunch: 1 apple, 3-4 oz skinless chicken, and raw vegetables.
  • Dinner: Apples

Day 5

  • Breakfast: an apple and a bowl of whole-grain cereals and nut milk.
  • Lunch: an apple, baked salmon, and green salad with a lemon and apple vinegar dressing.

3 Principles to Eat More and Still Lose Weight

Trying to lose weight and going on a diet can become a nightmare for some people. And for others, it might be a normal healthy routine for them. But if you're the first type where dieting is not your cup of tea and love eating too much, then read on.
With so much information out there about how to lose weight fast or how to develop healthy eating habits, it's probably also a challenge to decide on what works best for you since you're bombarded with hundreds and thousands of information from a single search on google.
As a society we all grew up thinking that the way to lose weight fast and most efficiently is to drastically reduce our daily calorie intake, which most of the time just meant eating less food.
But we now realize that we can actually lose weight by eating more, if done in a well manner. Here are the 3 principles to eating more and still losing weight:

EAT FATS

Beginners often feel a bit anxious when they hear that fats should be consumed to stay healthy and lose weight. The fact is there are healthy fats and bad fats. The macronutrients in good (healthy) fats will help kick away your hunger signals, making you feel full quicker. Regularly eating healthy fats can also impact blood insulin levels positively as well as reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. And that should not be ignored, because type 2 diabetes affects nearly 300 million people worldwide and accounts for 90-95% of all adults who had diagnosed cases of diabetes, says a study from the Harvard School of Public Health.

Besides the fats found in processed fats however, all other fats should be just fine for a healthy lifestyle.

Some examples of healthy fats include:
  • Avocado
  • Coconut oil
  • Sunflower seeds
  • Cheese
  • Dark chocolate
  • Nuts
  • Fatty fish
  • Whole eggs
  • Extra virgin olive oil

EAT PROTEIN AND FIBER IN EVERY MEAL

Metabolism gets boosted by consumption of protein, helping you to feel full longer and avoid from bingeing. Fiber is a crucial nutrient that aids in losing weight as it reduces the absorption of sugar in the blood, helping you utilize the carbohydrates (glucose) for energy rather than storing it all as fat.

Berries, chia pudding, cheddar cheese, spinach, and eggs are some of the commonly known sources of protein and fibre. You can also eat salad, chicken, and zucchini noodles.

SET MEAL TIMINGS

Stable blood sugar level is the key to lose weight. To maintain this, do not keep a long gap between two meals. Doing so will end up resulting in a spike in your blood sugar levels, making you overeat. A commonly recommended approach is to eat every 4 hours (because your body transitions into starvation mode around that time) in order to keep your blood sugar levels in check. In addition, it helps to avoid hunger and a bad mood. Also, a study suggested that a schedule for eating helps in reducing body fat accumulation.

7 Best Morning Habits to Lose Weight


Losing weight can be a troublesome task sometimes to the point where people completely reconsider new diets or switch up their lifestyle.
Making small changes to your mornings can help with weight loss and keep those pounds off. Here are 7 uncomplicated morning habits you can start incorporating into your weight loss routine:

PRACTICE MINDFULNESS OR MINDFUL-EATING

Mindfulness involves putting your entire focus on the present and bringing awareness to your feelings and thoughts.
This has been shown to improve weight loss efforts and even promote healthy eating habits (7, 8).
Ever heard of mindful eating? This invovles increasing your awareness about when and how much to eat using internal cues to guide you, as opposed to your visual cues.

Try to give full attention to what you eat, savoring each bite, acknowledging what you like and don't like, and not eating when distracted. Doing this will ensure that you will develop more self-control to your eating habits!
Research suggests that the more mindful you are, the less likely you are to overeat in response to visual or external cues like food ads, super-sized portions and 24/7 food availability (fast food joints).

START TRACKING YOUR CALORIES

Similarly to weighing yourself every morning it's a good habit to keep a food diary to track what you eat and keep yourself accountable. Doing so is an effective way to lose weight, as one study of 123 people revealed that having a food journal was linked to improved weight loss (12).

In addition you will be able to track down what you need to cut out or how much calories you're unnecessarily cutting out, for a healthy weight loss routine.

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER IN THE MORNING

Starting your morning with a glass cup of water is an easy but effective way to enhance your weight loss efforts.
Water can increase your calorie burning rate for at least an hour. Drinking a bottled water can lead to a 30% increase in your metabolic rate on average (3).
If you want to lose pounds without any additional dieting or exercise involved, you can shed some pounds just by drinking an average of 34 ounces (2 water bottles) per day (4).
Every little bit counts!

HAVE MORE PROTEIN FOR BREAKFAST

Breakfast is commonly known to be the most important meal of the day. Having your morning breakfast can set you up for the entire day and it will determine if you'll feel satisfied and full until lunchtime, or if you'll be heading to the nearest fast food joint before it even gets to lunchtime.
What you can do is eat foods high in protein. Wait what?!

Now this may sound a little odd but there's some science that actually backs this up and studies suggest a high-protein breakfast can help reduce food cravings as well as helping with weight loss.
For example, 20 late-adolescant young women in a 2014 study were given specific breakfast meals with low or high protein content and were asked to consume these at home between 7:00am and 9:30am for an entire week. The study's findings showed that those who consumed higher amounts of protein meals tended to have far less savory cravings than those who consumed normal amounts (1, 2).
Don't know where to start? You can start with protein sources like nuts, chia seeds, eggs and Greek yogurt.

GET IN THE HABIT OF WEIGHING YOURSELF

Weighing yourself and stepping on the scale every morning can be an effective way to increase motivation and improve self-control.
Knowing the fact that you shed a pound or two in the past week is a sure motivation to keep your momentum running!

In addition, studies even show that people who weigh themselves daily lose more than those who don't (5).

So what happens to the people who hardly weigh themselves at all? They gain weight (6).
According to experts, the best time to weigh yourself in the day is in the morning, right after you empty your bladder and before you eat your breakfast.
It's apparently a healthy habit to adopt. So, get your scale on!

EAT SMALLER PORTIONS

Most people need to consume between 1200 to 1500 calories on a daily basis if they want to shed pounds in a healthier and sustainable way.

But for many others, monitoring portion sizes as well as skipping dessert or going back for seconds is one of the simplest ways to decrease their calorie consumption.

INCORPORATE EXERCISE IN YOUR MORNINGS

More commonly, one of the most effective ways to lose weight is to excercise regularly. Getting your workout done in the morning can fasten your weight loss goal.

A study conducted on a group of 50 overweight women showed that exercising in the morning was linked to a higher level of fullness, as opposed to those who exercised in the afternoon (9).

THE BOILED EGG DIET, HOW TO LOSE 20 POUNDS IN 2 WEEKS


That’s Right. Lose 20Lbs in 2 weeks on this diet
Eating eggs to lose weight sounds weird, right?

Yet many people are finding that the boiled egg diet is the perfect solution to their temporary weight loss goals.

The boiled egg diet, when used appropriately, allows you to lose weight by adhering to a low-carb low-calorie but protein-heavy diet.

However, it is not a long-term weight loss solution and should not be used to keep weight off permanently.

You should also not eat only eggs while on this diet—the best boiled egg diet is one that incorporates vegetables and other sources of protein for your body.

Many people love eggs and find their taste, protein content, and vitamins and minerals to be the perfect protein and on-the-go snack.

From breakfast food to a dinner solution, eggs are easy to cook, versatile and can provide your body with the protein and nutrients it needs to lose weight.

THE EGG DIET

This egg diet has multiple versions, but in each, you can only drink water or zero-calorie beverages.

You only eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There are no snacks, aside from water or other zero-calorie drinks.

I also have a boiled egg diet printable which you can print off and stick on your fridge.

I found this an easy way to follow the plan and organize what I would be eating that week.

WHAT IS THE BOILED EGG DIET?

The boiled egg diet is a diet based on the consumption of boiled eggs rather than scrambled or poached eggs.

The minimum requirement is that you eat at least 2-3 eggs per day.
