It's amazing! All you need is two teaspoons of honey before going to bed. This enables you to have a well-fuelled liver so that your body can do fat-burning repair work on skin, muscles, bones, teeth and internal organs while you sleep. Honey (a mix of glucose and fructose) fuels the liver, which in turns tells the brain it's ready to burn fats.
The Rules
Stay clear of processed food. Lean meat like chicken is a great source of protein. Eat it three or four times a week. Fish is another great protein food. Eat it several times a week, grilled or poached. Eat bread and pasta (whole-meal varieties) balanced with lots of fruits and vegetables for energy. Snacks like nuts, seeds and dried fruit should fill you up and prevent you from snacking on anything that contains white sugar. Water is every dieter's best friend. Consume two litres a day, not including tea or coffee. Eggs and organic cheese provide protein and minerals but don't overeat it.
Eating Plan
The idea is that you can and should still eat breakfast, lunch, dinner and have snacks. Before bed, it's essential that you have two teaspoons of honey. Be sensible and have modest portions. An average serving of chicken, lean meat or fish should be about 180g and a portion of higher-carbo vegetables like root potatoes should be about the same. A helping of fresh vegetables (carrots, green leafy and other root vegetables) can be as big as you want.
