I'm really relieved about this, as I felt like I was getting nowhere.
This week I'm going to continue for a couple of days on the same plan, just to finish off left over food from the diet. On Wednesday I'm aware that I'm going out for a Thai, which I want togl be able to enjoy, so from Thursday I'm going to probably start again, or possibly next week as I've got another wedding on Sunday and going out for the day on Friday too, I want to be able to not feel overly restricted.
I looked into the mono food diet a bit, and found out the reasoning behind it. Forums state that it works because complex meals use a range of enzymes to digest your meal. which doesn't work efficiently enough. When you break it down to one food group, only one enzyme needs to work and therefore your food is digested better. I spoke with a friend who is a biology teacher about this, who said it's not true at all and wouldn't account for weight loss, as any un-digested food just gets passed as stools anyway so there is no truth in this. Therefore I think the mono food diet only worked because it's a diet... You are being aware of what you eat, and eat in proportion. So I'm not going to continue with this one... I'm just going to pick another!!
