It depends on how much time you have until you begin school. I recently started this diet which I created myself and it works really well for me. So far it s been 2 weeks and I have lost 5 kilograms (about 11 pounds).I began by substituting all sugar I used with artificial sweetener like spenda or equal.I also replaced full cream milk with skim milk. Simple measures such as these can drastically reduce the amount of calories you consume each day, eventually leading to greater weight loss. And honestly I can t really taste the difference.Next I took out nearly all carbohydrates from my diet (potatoes, rice, pasta, bread, biscuits, etc etc.)However, I do allow myself to have one serve of carbs a day (such as a very small portion of mashed potatoes made with skim milk and low fat butter, or a whole meal sandwich, or a cup of rice) otherwise I find I get quite dizzy and feel lethargic.Of course, stay away from take-away food, sweets and high fat foods, make sure you eat lots of vegetables with every meal to fill you up, rather than filling up on meat and carbs alone.And I aim for no more than 3 serves of fruit a day as they can lead to extra sugar intake and some fruits contain carbs.Also exercise is important in losing weight, so try and at least go for a 20 minute walk 5-6 times a week, or doing 30 sit ups while you watch t.v. or something.Below I made an example of a few different meals you can have on this diet.Breakfast1 piece of fruitLow fat, low sugar vanilla yogurt (1 cup)Tea or coffee with spenda and low fat milk.OR2 scrambled eggs with lowfat ham.Tea or coffeeFruit.Lunch1 wholemeal sandwich with tomato, cheese and lettuce. (be sure to add lots of veggies to sandwiches to fill you up.)Carrot sticks with low fat dip such as tatziki or hummus.1 piece of fruit.1 glass of skim milk (will fill you up much more than soft drinks.)ORChicken Salad with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, avacado and low fat italian dressing.SnackNuts or low sugar dried fruit, or another piece of fresh fruit.OR1 small can of tuna.DinnerA generous serve of a variety of veggies (broccolli, cauliflour, carrots, peppers, spinach, beans)Along with a serve of meat (chicken without skin, beef low fat mince, etc)I find that stirfries are an excellent way of combining lots of different veggies with meat with a yummy stirfry sauce (stay away from the peanut satay though, very high in fat!)Remember you are allowed a serve of carbs so feel free to have spaghetti for tea, just don t go crazy and eat a massive bowl, stick to smaller serves and always fill up on vegetables, not carbs!If you dying for something sweet have a diet drink, yes they don t taste half as good as regular drinks but it s worth it.1 can of of diet coke is only 3 calories, while 1 can of regular coke is 155! Just think of how much calories your saving by choosing the diet option.I hope this information has helped you, and good luck!
