Diet Plans And Menus - The Peltriaux Diet:

The Peltriaux Diet was created by Doctor Philippe Peltriaux. This is a two phase diet, which is low in calories and high in proteins. During the starter phase you eat only green vegetables and powdered protein packets. This initial phase lasts 12 to 20 days and you might lose about 11 pounds (5 kilograms). Don’t start this phase without consulting your doctor and don’t step on the scale. The second phase called realimentation is divided into three steps. This phase lasts between 15 days and several months. You may lose 15 pounds (about 7 kilograms) during the first month of this phase. Here are some of the diet principles.

Vegetables are the only permitted food in Phase 1. Eat as much as you wish of the following vegetables: fennel, celery, bell peppers, spinach, zucchini, radishes, cucumbers, endives, mushrooms, and green salad. Limit your consumption of the following vegetables to two servings a day: onions, leeks, asparagus, turnips, soy beans, pickles, Swiss chard, cabbage, artichokes, tomatoes, broccoli, and eggplant. Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water each day. It may be carbonated. You may also drink tea, coffee, and sugarless colas. Consult your doctor for the daily consumption of protein supplements diluted in water. Take vitamins. During Phase 2.1 you add one of the following to your daily diet: lean beef, veal, rabbit, poultry, and eggs, with a maximum of four eggs a week. Eat about 150 grams (5 ounces) of fruit including kiwis, apples, grapefruit, oranges, raspberries, or watermelon. Breakfast means cereal, whole-grain bread, butter, milk, and light dairy products. During Phase 2.2 no food is forbidden. Continue with the protein powder. Phase 2.3 is the stabilization phase. Your biggest meal is breakfast, and your supper is very light.
