Short-term, high-efficiency weight loss practice: From the "Smart Lady" weekly plan to losing four kilograms in ten days

2026-04-09

This diet plan was revised by Elizabeth Elston, food and nutrition editor of the "Red Book," under the guidance of Dr. Jeanne Duye, director of the Nutrition Center at New England Medical Center, and Dr. Maiton Winnick, director of the Human Nutrition Institute at Columbia University. This is the thirteenth revised version of the "Smart Ladies' Diet Menu" published in the "Red Book." Combined with moderate exercise, it can help you lose one kilogram per week. Diet Plan (1194 kcal): Breakfast (330 kcal): One apple (or seasonal fruit), one 100g egg pancake, one glass of milk. Lunch (346 kcal): 100g fish, 100g cabbage (or seasonal vegetables), one small tomato, 100g whole wheat bread (or 100g steamed bun), one apple (or seasonal fruit). Dinner (518 kcal): 100g green pepper steak, 50g white rice, 50g noodles, one glass of milk.

The key points of Dr. Kurt's "rapid" weight loss plan are: fasting for one day on the first day, followed by six days of substantial meals plus several snacks. He says, "Not only can you lose less than three pounds on the first day, but fasting also cleanses the digestive system, and your energy will only increase, not decrease." On the fasting day, you can drink two kilograms of water. For the remaining six days, you can enjoy fish, eggs, cheese, salads, and snacks like sunflower seeds and walnuts several times a day. Avoid salt and sugar, and drink at least one kilogram of water daily for these six days. Dr. Currie, a lecturer at Harvard Medical School, says, "This is an excellent and safe method for rapid weight loss."

"Dr. Ke's menu is nutritionally balanced and low in cholesterol," says Dr. Fei Fu, head of the Department of Nutrition at Rothschild University. Below is the daily menu and a list of foods you can eat (the same every day, but you can choose your favorite foods from the list): Breakfast: One piece of fruit, one egg, 50g of fish, 50g of bread (or steamed bun), and a cup of tea. Lunch: 100g of fish, 200g of vegetables, and 50g of bread or steamed bun. Three hours after lunch: Three walnuts or an equal number of walnut kernels. One hour before dinner: 100ml of fruit or vegetable juice. Dinner: Soup (not thickened with flour), fruit, fish or chicken, 50g of bread, a snack, and a beverage. Two or three hours after dinner, and then every two hours thereafter, eat three or four walnuts, or an equal number of walnut kernels, until bedtime.

You may choose from the following foods: Vegetables: Asparagus, beets, cabbage, bok choy, celery, cucumber, eggplant, soybeans, onions, carrots, green beans, tomatoes, watermelon, peaches, pears, pineapples, or oranges can be eaten raw or cooked, but absolutely no sugar should be added, and absolutely no canned fruit with syrup should be eaten. Fruit juice: Any kind of unsweetened fruit or vegetable juice. Most commercially available canned fruit or vegetable juices are just sugar water and should absolutely not be consumed. Beverages: Weak tea. Coffee, without sugar or milk. Snacks: Fruit, walnuts, melon seeds, or roasted soybeans.

A 10-day diet plan to lose 4 kg: 8 AM: One cup of tea and one cup of milk (unsweetened). 11 AM: One egg and two apples. 2 PM: 200g of stewed lean pork, 100g of side dish (cabbage or carrot), and one orange or apple. 5 PM: One egg and one apple or orange. 8 PM: One cup of milk (unsweetened). If you stick to this diet for ten days (drinks are not limited), you can lose 4 kg. After ten days, switch to four meals a day. Feel slightly hungry when leaving the table after meals. The last meal should be no later than 8 PM, and the smaller the portion, the better. What should you avoid? Avoid oily sweet and salty bread. Limit your daily intake of dark bread to 100-150g. What can you eat? You can eat lean meat, fish, milk (200-300g daily), vegetables, and fruits. Those with gastrointestinal problems should take this diet and adhere to the diet plan very seriously.
