So for the first 5 days you need to stick to a diet of as much real meat and fish as you like, salad and vegetables, (no mushrooms or potatoes though), eggs, natural live yoghurt (which helps attack the candida) and up to 2 ounces of brown rice a day. Unlike the Atkins diet, no dairy is allowed, such as milk and cheese. The best thing to drink is lots of water, sorry no juice, alcohol or sodas.
The first 5 days of the Harcombe diet and weight loss plan are for you to lose a good amount of weight and more importantly get food cravings under control which allows you to move onto phase 2 which is where you can eat fruit and more carbohydrates. One aspect of the diet to note is that during Phase 2 you can’t have fats and carbs in the same meal. To work out what foods fall into the “fat” category you have to think if it has come from anything that has a face…. meat, fish, milk, cheese, butter and cream etc. Vegetables can be eaten with either the fat or carb food group so it encourages you to have plenty of salad and vegetables. The reason for splitting the food groups during a meal is something to do with how you digest things to make you more efficient. We've come across one other diet that looks promising and it's called the ducan diet.
