The eating plan is very simple. Not only are you restricted from eating carbs after 5pm but you have a specially selected choice of low GI foods. Many diet books simply give you a list of foods and their GI rating. This is a flawed system as foods react in the body in different ways and over different time scales. Joanna′s system uses a refinement on the traditional GI diet that helps you lose weight faster.
SMALL STEPS MAKE BIG CHANGES:
The 24 hour quick−fix is followed by one small change you can make each day for a 20 day period to help you change the habits of a lifetime. Every psychologist knows that a human is not designed to make sweeping changes all at once: if you try‚ they′re unlikely to stick.
Joanna′s small units of change which work up in a careful sequence to the more challenging are an ingenious strategy. For example:
Day 1 will simply start with making sure you drink 6 glasses of water;
Day 2 you′ll replace your sugary cereal and/or toast with either a bowl of porridge or unsweetened muesli;
Day 3 you′ll be reducing your coffee intake to one cup a day;
Day 4 you′ll build a half hour walk into your day
The cumulation of these changes mean that by day 20 you′ll be living a really healthy‚ fit‚ and slim way of life.
