British Heart Foundation Diet

The British Heart Foundation Diet (also known as the Greenlane diet)
is a poor fad diet that has been circulating for many years. Please note that the British Heart Foundation has nothing to do with this diet whatsoever.

The diet has circulated in the form of a one page sheet that claims you can lose 10 pounds in 3 days. The diet has been popular in the UK – but its exact origins are unknown.

    This is only one day of the diet and the original was not diet ice cream it was full fat ice cream and it is there for a reason.

    Am trying this plan for first time do you just repeat the exact plan for three days as given above as most variations of this I have seen give three different plans for the three days. However, this looks like one I could follow – can you use Jacobs cream crackers instead of Snax as not sure what these are

    And if you struggle try putting loads of salad on your plate along with beetroot and either lean meat or fish for dinner drink plenty of water and you will still lose the weight i usually do that for the next few days another tip if you cant cut out carbs just eat them in the morning and early lunch but restrict in the evening switch the television off and concerntrate on chewing and the food you are eating you tend to feel fuller quicker :)
