7-Day Oatmeal Diet Plan To Lose up 10 Pounds In a Week..

 This 7-day oatmeal diet plan is a balanced calorie diet that requires you to replace at least two meals of the day with oatmeal. In phase 1, include oatmeal three times a day in your diet for two days. In phase 2, include oatmeal 2 times a day for the next 2 to lose a significant amount of weight. Finally, in phase 3, have oatmeal at least once a day for the remaining three days to maintain your new body weight.

 

Oatmeal, a whole grain, are high in fiber, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Since it is a nutritient-dense food, it makes you feel fuller for a longer time. Hence, you tend to eat less . Whole grains contain fewer calories, so you can eat a good serving of oats without consuming a lot calories. As well, the fiber binds to the fat in the intestine and prevents the absorption of fats. The fat bound fiber is finally excreted by your body.

Phase 1

 

Calorie consumption for the first 7 days should be between 1000-1200 calories per day.

Phase 2

 

In the second phase, the next thirty days, dieters continue having ½ cup of oatmeal three times a day as well their regular diet. Instant oatmeal is now permitted. Calories may now be increased slightly to 1000-1400 per day. A morning snack of a ½ cup of fruit and an afternoon snack of ½ cup raw vegetables are allowed.

 

Phase 3
