My Real-Life Weight Loss Journey: What I Ate, How Much I Lost, and If It Lasted
summarizeEditor's Summary
I've tried my fair share of diets, but this one's different. It's a three-week plan that's all about eating specific foods in small portions. You'll alternate between fasting, protein-rich days, and fruit and veggie days, but here's the thing: it's only 21 days. Don't try to extend it beyond that, or you might not see the same results. I lost a decent amount of weight, but it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. I'll share my honest review, including what I ate, how much I lost, and if it lasted. I was a bit skeptical at first, but the diet's simplicity made it easy to follow, even for a busy person like me. The weight loss was noticeable, and I felt more energetic, too. I loved the variety of foods I got to eat on the different days, and the community support was great. However, the first week was brutal, and I felt like I was starving all the time. The portion control was tough to get used to, especially on the protein days. I had to be careful not to overdo it on the carb days, or I'd feel bloated. The diet can be expensive, especially if you're buying all the allowed foods. I missed my usual snacks and treats, and it was hard to resist temptation. The 21-day limit felt restrictive, and I wished I could extend it.

Hey there!
I've already shared my experience with a stricter diet plan here.
Now, I want to talk about a diet that really gets the weight loss going – even without exercise or calorie counting.
🔹 🔸 🔶 🔷 The Lowdown 🔷 🔶 🔸 🔹
The diet involves a list of allowed foods, grouped together.
You stick to these foods for exactly three weeks.
And the key is to eat small portions.
Important note: this diet lasts for 21 days only.
Don't try to extend it beyond that.
🔹 🔸 🔶 🔷 What You Can Eat 🔷 🔶 🔸 🔹
This diet follows a simple pattern:
• two days of fasting;
• two days of protein-rich foods;
• two days of fruits and veggies.
And then it repeats.
On protein days, you can only have protein-rich foods and a tiny bit of carbs.
It's pretty straightforward, if you ask me.
🔹 🔸 🔶 🔷 What I Ate 🔷 🔶 🔸 🔹
This diet is pretty tough on its own.
I made some adjustments to make it more manageable.
I figured that doing a week of fruits and veggies wasn't that hard.
But three weeks, with one week consisting of fasting days on kefir – that's a challenge.
I found it tough to jump straight into this diet.
On protein days, you can have lean meat.
Protein-Veggie Diet ReviewsI'm used to marinating chicken breast in olive oil – it tastes way better to me.I usually eat it with veggies.
But since it's a protein day, I skipped the veggies.
Olive oil is still allowed on this diet.
Also, on protein days, you can have lean fish.
Protein-Veggie Diet ReviewsAgain, without any sides.
And almost no salt.
On fruits and veggies days, veggie soups are a great option.
Protein and Veggie Diet ReviewsOne thing that caught my eye was the emphasis on light veggies - no potatoes allowed!Protein and Veggie Diet ReviewsEven the soups are made with just water, no broths or seasonings.Protein and Veggie Diet ReviewsI did have one stuffed pepper, but even that was a small portion since large servings are a no-go on this diet.Protein and Veggie Diet ReviewsSalads are also on the menu, and I found myself reaching for a simple cabbage salad.Protein and Veggie Diet ReviewsAnd, of course, some fruits are allowed - like apples.I've been snacking on protein-rich foods like cottage cheese with fruit - here I'm enjoying it with apples.And berries - I've been loving blueberries.And grapes.And more - I've also been eating cranberries, currants, and plums.And I'm not even getting started on the variety of fruits and veggies I've been enjoying on this diet.Like the fact that I've been on this diet from August 1st to the 21st, and all the fruits and veggies I've been eating are seasonal.
And, honestly, it's not even my oldest draft - I've been tweaking this diet for a while now.Also, regardless of the day - protein day, fruit and veggie day, or a rest day - I've found that I can still have two or three thin slices of whole grain bread.
Protein-Veggie Diet ReviewsIt's not a store-bought product.Protein-Veggie Diet ReviewsIt's extremely thin and light.Protein-Veggie Diet ReviewsI started adding creamy cheese to my bread later.Protein-Veggie Diet ReviewsJust a little for flavor, yeah?
Protein-Veggie Diet ReviewsThe thing is, there's a minimal amount of calories in that type of cheese.Protein-Veggie Diet ReviewsMeanwhile, a couple of slices of super-thin bread with cheese give me a decent feeling of fullness and get rid of hunger pangs.Protein-Veggie Diet ReviewsBut on this diet, hunger pangs follow me periodically.I also bought some breadsticks.
My protein and veggie diet resultsI added cheese to them too.My protein and veggie diet resultsAgain, the crackers bring very few calories.My protein and veggie diet resultsMy protein and veggie diet resultsMy protein and veggie diet resultsThe crackers bring very few calories, but they do bring joy.My protein and veggie diet resultsAnd they're even allowed on my protein and veggie diet.Because the rest of my diet is pretty depressing.
I've been drinking tea and coffee without sugar for ages.
And I drink at least 1.5 liters of water every day.
If this app is counting correctly, it's been over 500 days.
🔹 🔸 🔶 🔷 THE RESULTS 🔷 🔶 🔸 🔹
I started this diet at 73.5 kg.
Right after, my weight was just above 70 kg.
This is the first time I've had such a great result on a diet in years.
No calorie counting for me.
I didn't even exercise.
In my opinion, this is the best diet for kickstarting weight loss.
🔹 🔸 🔶 🔷 DID I GAIN THE WEIGHT BACK? 🔷 🔶 🔸 🔹
It's been three months since I started this diet.
As expected, the weight came back.
It took about a month to get back to my original number.
But here's the thing: I'm not restricting myself in any way.
I'm talking cakes, chocolate bars, potato chips.
And literally, zero percent exercise.
If the weight hadn't come back, it would've been weird.
But, despite that, if I need to lose weight again, I'll definitely go back to this diet.
FINAL VERDICT
I'd definitely recommend the protein and veggie diet.
