A quick diet to lose about two and a half kilos in just seven days, deflating excess fluids and then doing a quick detox with a low-fat and low-sugar regime, based on two daily replacement meals and a light dinner.

After these 7 days of fast diet it is advisable to eat in moderation or follow a nutritionist’s plan to lose the excess pounds.

Let’s say this meal plan serves as an initial week, to quickly deflate if we have eaten too much, but it can also be a last-minute solution. However, it is not a substitute for a healthy diet.

This week-long detox diet is called The Zero Belly Cleanse , and is part of the shock regimes proposed by David Zinczenko’s The Zero Belly Diet.
