What Is The 13 Day Diet?

First and foremost, you should better familiarize yourself with the 13-day diet plan, A.K.A The 13-day metabolism diet. As the name suggests, this diet plan lasts 13 days. Unlike other diets, the 13-day diet tells you exactly what to eat during the dieting period, so there will be no guessing.

When starting the 13 day diet, you will need to avoid:

  • Alcohol
  • Cooking oil
  • Salad dressing
  • Sweeteners
  • Chewing gum

You should also avoid any and all foods that are not listed on the plan. Please also remember to drink plenty of water during the 13 day period.

Is The 13 Day Diet Healthy And Should You Try It?

There is a good chance that the 13-day diet will help you lose weight. However, you must think about how healthy the diet really is. The diet forces you to lose a significant amount of weight in a short period, and that may not be safe. On average, it is recommended that you should only lose 1kg or 1.5kg each week. So, should you give it a try? Well, the 13-day diet can work, but it is somewhat risky.
