The 7-Day Smart Diet Plan |
 |
Introduction & Overview |
The 7-Day Smart Diet Plan promises that users can jump start their weight loss and lose “10 pounds” in 30 days, and maintain their energy levels. However, many consumers have reported that once they start a diet they often give up, because they eat too little food and feel weak. This is why diet plans that promise to let you lose weight quickly, while keeping energy levels up are very appealing to consumers. However, claims are easily made, and as we all know they are not always delivered upon, so lets see if this plan can deliver or not.

| Concept |
It utilizes a rather simple model in which users eat foods low in fat and calories, yet balanced in terms of nutrition. The foods users eat on this plan are rich in proteins, fruits and vegetables, in order to clean out toxins. This in turn is supposed to help boost energy levels. This diet plan utilizes a concept which has become fairly common these days- portion control combined with eating at regular intervals.
Eating at regular intervals, has been shown to be able to help keep blood sugar levels constant, however, the meal plans on this diet do not really allow for this concept to really flourish, While it does provide for breakfast, lunch and dinner, this trio of meals is often not enough to keep blood sugar levels constant in most people. They often need a healthy low-cal protein based snack in between these meals to keep levels consistent. The fact that this issue is not addressed is troubling and makes us wonder if it can really keep energy levels up.

| Design |
The 7-Day Smart Diet Plan is built on a 30 day model, for which 7 days of meal plans are provide, and this cycle is repeated for 4 weeks. These meals deliver users 1,200-calorie-a-day, and they are told to drink the standard 8 glasses of water per day. It is also suggested that users take a 1,000 mg calcium supplement.
The diet for day consists of: Breakfast- oatmeal, 2% milk, wheat germ, cantaloupe and coffee or tea; Lunch- a can of white tuna in water, lettuce, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, capers, cucumber, red bell pepper, low-cal dressing and cottage cheese; Dinner- grilled chicken, mixed greens, artichoke hearts, small baked potato and pear.

| Cost |
The 7-Day Smart Diet Plan is free for the taking on this website, where the concepts and 7 day menu is laid out in an easy to use format. The only expense those who use this plan are likely to incur is the coats of the calcium supplement.
However, there are other costs involved which have nothing to do with money. For instance, we believe that this diet will take its toll in terms of hunger, because it does not deliver enough calories or protein to keep users feeling energetic and satisfied throughout the day. Some consumers who are really interested in this plan, may well want to investigate holistic supplements, which can help them cut the hunger which will more than likely plague them.

| Conclusion |
As you may have noted we have many concerns regarding this plans -abilities. We believe that hunger will more than likely be an issue for many users, as will its inability to keep energy levels consistent due to the large gaps that are in the diets meal patterns. Also, our other concern with this “diet” is that it is fairly pedestrian in nature, and users run the risk of boredom setting in, which when combined with hunger can be a sure fire diet killer.
As we noted above this plan is totally free, which is great in terms of money, but consumers who decide to use this plan have no recourse in terms of asking questions. In general, we believe that a quality customer care department can help users maximize weight loss and peace of mind when starting a new dieting endeavor.
