So how does it work?...

This entire diet plan is focused around the idea of keeping blood sugar levels from dropping or rising too quickly. When you eat something high in simple sugars or anything high on the glycemic index, your blood sugar will spike causing your body to flood itself with insulin.


This insulin leads to low blood sugar which makes you feel tired and can make you have intense food cravings.


In the 5 Day Miracle Diet , you are instructed how to eat in order to avoid the spikes and dips that most people normally experience.


Specific timing as well as certain food combinations are important to this diet’s plans.

The Diet Plan

When you eat is very important with this diet. Breakfast has to be eaten within 30 minutes of waking on the 5 Day Miracle Diet.


You are supposed to eat every 2-3 hours, evenly spacing your three meals and two snacks throughout the day.


Each of the three meals has a certain type of food to focus on: Breakfast should contain lots of protein and you are allowed a little bread, for lunch you should eat fresh vegetables and more protein, and dinner should be mostly vegetables with some protein.


Starches and simple carbohydrates are typically avoided.


Women are allowed to eat carbs sparingly every other day, while men are permitted to eat three servings per day – note that this is still lower than the average consumption of starchy foods.


One unique attribute of this diet plan is the ability to indulge in something completely forbidden once per week.

Is it good for you?...

The best part of the 5 Day Miracle Diet plan is that nothing about it is particularly extreme or based on pseudoscience.


The science of blood sugar is well established and all adults, particularly those who have diabetes, pre-diabetes, or are obese, would benefit from attempting to control their levels. It is sensible and low carb.


The way that the 5 Day Miracle Diet works to help you lose weight is to reduce portion sizes and overall calorie content of your diet.


But because it is not extremely low in calories, you will not see a dramatic “miraculous” transformation as the name might imply.


Quick weight loss is sometimes a relative concept. It will help you lose weight over time and many people will have an easier time following this plan than others because of the way that it aids controlling blood sugar which can make the entire dieting process easier.


Spacing out your meals keeps your metabolism steady and high all day long which also helps with the weight loss.


Don’t expect any miracles on the 5 Day Miracle Diet plan, but stick it out and you can see success.
