Lose 33 Lbs In 15 Days With Cardiac Diet

Cardiac diet plan can help you lose up to 2-7 pounds in 5 days or 22-33 pounds in 15 days.

Foods in this diet plan are rich in vitamins and minerals, so the founders claim that you won’t have a feeling of weakness or exhaustion.

At first, it may seem similar to a citrus diet, but it’s not.

Although very similar, these two diets differ in some details so it’s important to treat them separately.

If your goal is to lose just a few pounds then repeat this 5-day meal plan cycle up to 3 times, for a maximum of 15 consecutive days.

On the other hand, if your goal is to lose more than 7 pounds then between every 3 cycles have 15 days of break.

In other words, 15 days diet, 15 days rest, then repeat.

Cardiac or medical diet is a term for a heart-healthy diet. It was given due to the fact that similar diet plans are applied to patients with heart problems, who need to lose weight before surgery without losing their strength.

This diet is considered to be very restrictive since it’s low in calories, which is in the short run effective for rapid weight loss.

The negative side is that if you don’t stick with healthy eating habits afterward, the weight will come back. This is also known as the yo-yo effect.

Cardiac diet meal plans are based on eating lots of nutrient-rich foods such as whole grains, fruits and veggies, fish, and lean poultry. While trans fats, saturated fats, sugar, and excess sodium should be avoided.
