Review
Summary |
The 7-Day Diet Plan was supposedly developed for the staff of General Motors and has become popular in Indonesia. It is essentially a cleansing diet that requires consumption of various fruits, vegetables and soups and is intended to help dieters become more fit and agile, in just a week.
Websites outline the menu for the diet over the course of the seven days, although little information is given about how dieters might feel or what activities they should engage in while following this diet.
We will examine the diet as a whole to determine the lifestyle changes needed and the effects on health and weight loss following this program may cause.

 | Diet at a Glance |
|
As stated, the 7-Day Diet Plan is a diet filled with fruits, vegetables and soups that must be followed exactly for best results. The goal is to rid the body of toxins while losing a moderate amount of weight. The website offers a few tips and some basic information about the diet, but provides very few details.

 | Diet in Focus |
|
On the first day of this diet, dieters can eat as many fruits and drink as much juice as they want to, but must avoid bananas. The second day is a soup and vegetable day; the vegetables can be boiled or eaten raw, with only salt and pepper used for flavoring. Day three is basically a combination of the first two days, with nothing but fruits, vegetables and vegetable soups being consumed.
Day Four of this diet takes a little twist, requiring dieters to eat eight whole bananas and to drink four glasses of milk. According to the website, not all dieters seem to be able to consume all eight bananas, and that does not appear to be a problem.
On Day Five, dieters must simply eat red tomatoes and sprouts, which will provide the body with calcium and protein; Day Six consists of a “big boiled potato” with a pat of butter and soup made of sprouts. And finally, on Day Seven of this diet plan, dieters can eat baked or boiled vegetables and red polished rice. While on the diet, dieters are told they should drink plenty of water, and can even have coffee or tea without sugar.

 | Diet Lifestyle |
|
For those looking for a simple cleansing diet, this 7-Day Diet Plan may be of interest. It appears that the goal is to rid the body of toxins by eliminating sugar, fats, meat and starchy foods and providing vitamins and minerals. It is likely that dieters could become dehydrated or get headaches while following this type of diet, so lots of water should be consumed daily.
While this may help dieters lose a few pounds, the diet is not conducive to aiding in long-term weight loss; other methods, such as supplementation with a fat burner or appetite suppressant, may be preferable for people who are seeking to lose weight as well as get in shape. When combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise, supplementation can be helpful for speeding up the weight loss progress.

 | Final Thoughts |
|
While the 7-Day Diet Plan may appeal to those who are seeking a diet that can potentially help them feel more energized and lose a few pounds within a week, it does not appear to be the easiest diet to follow. We appreciate the emphasis on fruits and vegetables, although some days do not seem to provide enough extra calories to get dieters through the day without starving. Still, having all of this information upfront is helpful for dieters who can then make their own decision about it.
Products are available to aid in weight loss programs that consumers may be interested in. Many popular products contain herbal extracts, and can be incorporated easily into a balanced diet and regular exercise routine. Those that contain the energy enhancer Advantra-Z, an alternative to Ephedra, have been shown to be effective in raising the metabolism and burning fat.
