Weight Loss Grail
The Weight Loss Grail is a simple weight loss plan that is designed to give dieters the knowledge they need to achieve their goals. The author of the program claims that you can lose 28 pounds in 28 days without ever feeling hungry or giving up your favorite foods.
The Weight Loss Grail borrows ideas from the methods that bodybuilders use to reach very low levels of fat. The author states that even if you are not aiming to achieve such extreme fat loss you can still benefit by adapting their techniques. This will allow you to learn how to lose weight and keep it off for good.
Weight Loss Grail Basics
Instead of eating three large meals a day dieters are advised to break up their food intake into six smaller meals. This is highlighted as the best way to lose fat and maintain your muscle without feeling hungry
The author explains that waiting a long time in between meals slows down the metabolism because it activates the starvation response. This is even more likely when on a low calorie diet. By eating frequent small meals this problem is avoided and fat burning is enhanced.
Calorie restriction is acknowledged as being of prime importance for successful weight loss, however when calories are reduced too low this can cause excessive hunger and may trigger yo-yo dieting. As such dieters are advised to reduce their calories to no less than 80% of the daily requirement.
The nutrient breakdown of the diet should be approximately 45% carbohydrates, 35% protein and 20% fat. However dieters are told that rather than measuring exact proportions of calories and ratios, to think of food in terms of portion sizes. Don’t obsess over the details; just combine a portion of protein with a portion of carbohydrates and you will be fine.
In addition it is recommended in the Weight Loss Grail that you take nutritional supplements including minerals, cod liver oil, probiotics and extra virgin coconut oil. These supplements will assist in the reduction of appetite and cravings by giving your body the nutrients it needs.
No foods are strictly forbidden, however, it is advisable to avoid fried foods. You are instructed not to eat foods you think are healthy for you if you don’t like them.
You shouldn’t try to eat a 100% perfect diet; just aim for an 80% diet that includes foods that you like and that you will be able to stick with. This means that you can cheat every day if you like, so long as the rest of your meals are flawless.

Conclusions
The Weight Loss Grail offers a simple approach to dieting that will appeal to dieters who don’t like to follow complicated meal plans or spend a lot of time on food preparation.
Unfortunately it does not supply adequate guidance in relation to calorie counting or portion measurement, which is the fundamental concept necessary for the success of the program. This means that some dieters, especially those with lower calorie needs, could end up consuming too many calories and thus fail to achieve successful weight loss.

I am twelve and need a quick weight loss program that can help me lose 25-30 pounds before school starts August 24. It is the 8th. Can anyone help me. I don’t want to be known as the chubby kid anymore.
Weightlifters and bodybuilders don’t lose weight becaue they eat six small meals a day. They lose weight because they are WORKING OUT LIKE MANIACS. The whole “small portions throughout the day” concept does NOT WORK. It takes your body’s metabolism FAR longer for the “starvation response” to kick in than several hours. If you eat constantly throughout the day, you are not giving you digestive system any time to do what it is supposed to be doing, and not giving your kidneys any time to eliminate toxins. Too frequent eating is a big part of the problem with the modern day First World eating habits. Read the Paleo/Primal diets.

For breakfast: oats or all bran flakes, any fruit & plain yoghurt. Morning snack: carrot/apple or pro-vitas. Lunch: Salad, tuna/chicken fillet/fish & a fruit. Afternoon snack: apple/cream crackers with a tomato! Dinner: Salad/steamed veggies, fish/tuna or chicken fillet & a fruit. Night snack: yoghurt & fruits. If you feel hungry, eat an apple! Have at least 8 glasses of water & avoid soft drinks!! Hope this helps.

Will i bounce back once i stop this diet ?
To Ifeoma, Reducing your food ‘types’? Start at home by using smaller plates and bowls. Get a measuring cup and use it when you prepare you plate so you can get an idea of what a so-called ‘normal’ size portion is. And don’t create ‘mounds’, ‘piles’, or ‘heaps’ on your plate. Chew your food well (close to liquid) and put your fork (spoon)down between bites. Concentrate on the taste of what your having, making sure you enjoy each bite. Start with your next meal, and don’t wait until you feel as though you’re starving to eat. Think about your food choices and find healthier (less sauce and sugar)
Does this 28lbs in 28 days really work ??
Need to loose about 30lbs for holiday in 6 weeks
Where’s the fiber?
have been on steroids for year and put on 3 stone i was 9 i have lost 2 stone but seem to have reached a plateau,what should i do to kick start myself again?
ifeoma,
To reduce the amount of “unhealthy food” you eat, you need to eat bulky, low calorie foods before you eat your “main” foods. For example, if you know you are going out for pizza for lunch or dinner, eat an apple and 8 oz of water or a salad or some bulky low calorie foods 15-30 mins before eating the unhealthy food and you will eat less.
please how can i reduce the type of food i eat ?
