I've been looking up various diets, and I want to do something fun. Therefore, I have decided that I am starting the Rainbow Diet on Monday (Martin Luther King Day). It is much less common than the ABC diet, so for anyone who doesn't know this one, I will spell it out for you:
Monday (white):
Breakfast: 1/2 apple (40.5 cals)
Lunch: 1/2 apple (40.5 cals)
Dinner: 1 cucumber (24 cals)
Total: 104 cals
Tuesday (yellow):
Breakfast: 1 banana (108.5 cals)
Lunch: 1 banana (108.5 cals)
Dinner: 1/2 cup of corn (66 cals)
Total: 283 cals
Wednesday (FAST)
Total: 0 cals
Thursday (orange):
Breakfast: 1/2 orange (31 cals)
Lunch: 1/2 orange (31 cals)
Dinner: 1 carrot (26 cals)
Total: 88 cals
Friday (red):
Breakfast: 1/2 cup strawberries (21.5 cals)
Lunch: 1/2 cup strawberries (21.5 cals)
Dinner: 1/2 red pepper (16 cals)
Total: 59 cals
Saturday (purple/blue):
Breakfast: 10 blueberries (8 cals)
Lunch: 10 blueberries (8 cals)
Dinner: 10 raspberries (24 cals)
Total: 40 cals
Sunday (green):
Breakfast: 1/2 cup of grapes (57 cals)
Lunch: 1/2 cup of grapes (57 cals)
Dinner: 1 cup of lettuce (7 cals)
Total: 121 cals
Weekly Total: 696 cals!
I think that this would be a great diet to shed some more pounds, especially since I want to go shopping next weekend. I'll probably do the grocery shopping for the diet Sunday or Monday, and I will have lots of fresh fruits and vegetables left over for the next week. Fortunately, those kinds of foods are not full of unwanted calories so I won't feel so bad if I eat a blueberry or two after the diet is over. I have not made up my mind 100% yet, but I'm pretty sure that this is my next course of action. If anyone wants to join me, let me know! It would be great to have some company :)
I hadn't heard of that before, sounds good!
