The Slim Down diet is the challenge that the famous American magazine Shape launches for those who want to lose up to 5 kg in a month.

No drastic regimes, no detox, but a super-balanced diet with the right foods and a maximum calorie cap for breakfast, lunch and dinner plus two snacks.

The Slim Down diet in fact provides that the three main meals are 400 calories each and that the two snacks have a maximum of 150 calories. So this is a 1500 calorie plan to combine with a bodyweight or gym workout, no less than 3 times a week. 

But what is the peculiarity of the Slim Down diet?

It is based on antioxidant and draining foods that will dry you out, detoxify you and allow you to lose weight more easily without regaining it. In short, a diet designed to get back in shape and lose pounds and body fat.

Here is the daily pattern that must be repeated for a month and that causes you to lose 5 kg when combined with a physical activity plan.
Therefore suitable for non-sedentary subjects who want to lose the last few pounds or stubborn fat.
