Mono Diet Research Paper

Your Step-by-Step Mono Diet Give yourself a detox with this simple plan for a day of cleansing and relaxation. A mono-diet involves eating only one type of food all day: either raw fruit or vegetables. During the day, the traditional three meals a day are replaced by a series of mini meals, eaten every two hours or so. Eating lots of small meals will help to curb any hunger pangs and you must remember to drink between two and three liters of water during the day. Preparing for your Mono Diet Choose a day about six weeks ahead, when you have absolutely nothing to do and when no one will disturb you, and book it into your diary.

You should have seen me in my mother's kitchen the other night when I stopped by for dinner. The pepper jack cheese was sitting there, in a bowl, grated, and taunting me. A bowl of cheese has become my weakness. Why? Because I have been depriving myself of everything dairy for the past month! So I nibbled. Sue me.

My problem was finding time to work out, exercise, get any kind of movement in. I took my son for "walks" which are really runs because I have to jog to keep up with him. And this little sucker lasts about a good mile, and then we get to "walk".

Combine this with 2 vacations, 2 weeks apart filled with eating out, chips and dips and of course complete break from routine. So when June was coming to an end I was prepared to have July 1st as my "restart day" until I remembered the scales. I had
