One of the modern and most popular way to lose weight, is by the use of the 17 day diet recipes. This diet plan recipes are divided into four stages and take seventeen days each to implement. Each of the first three stages will focus on particular food recipes while the last one will incorporate recipes from the three stages.
In the first 17 days, you will have to eat minimal carbohydrates and other refined foods to cut down on calorie intake, and indulge yourself in some delicious protein foods like mustard chicken. To prepare a meal of mustard chicken, you will need one chicken breast marinated in a mixture of half a teaspoon of garlic, two tablespoons of Dijon mustard and three tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. Use a frying pan to cook the chicken, allowing five minutes for each side.
In the second stage, your metabolism needs to be made to act fast, therefore you will have to eat foods that achieve this. Hard boiled egg salad and cold chicken will be perfect. For the preparation, assemble a cooked cold and diced chicken breast, some olive oil, lettuce, tomato, lemon juice and a hard boiled egg. Chop and mix the vegetables into a salad and add the diced chicken. Then, use the olive oil and lemon juice to dress the mixture.
You are now ready to move into the third 17 day cycle , where you will eat not only fast but also delicious and nutritious foods. You can prepare yourself some mushroom casserole with spinach and eggplant. First of all,take a medium eggplant and slice it into pieces each measuring approximately one inch and mince two cloves of garlic. Also have ready some low marinara sauce, about a cup, half a cup breadcrumbs, a tablespoon of olive oil and a cup of ricotta. In addition, you should have ten ounces of frozen spinach and a quarter cup of parmesan.
Start by pre-heating the oven to 375 degrees. Then, put the eggplant into the egg white and let it soak, before covering it with the breadcrumbs mixed with seasoning and permesan. The next step is to cook the eggplant in the oven for twenty minutes. Meanwhile defrost and cook the frozen spinach in the microwave without adding any water. Mix the ricotta which should be fat free to the spinach when it is ready. After that, you can use the olive oil to saute the garlic and mushrooms.
