How to Lose Weight with Maple Syrup

Before starting a diet to lose weight quickly you should learn more about the elements that compose it. Here are some recommendations to take into account when starting the maple syrup diet. First, do not undertake this diet when you're very busy or stressed. It is a great choice if you want to lose a few pounds when you're not up to your eyeballs in work or other matters.

Remember that maple syrup is very beneficial for our body as it contains vitamins, antioxidants and minerals such as potassium, magnesium, calcium and zinc. If you want to know more about the properties of the syrup, please read our article on the properties of maple syrup.

The reason for carrying out the maple syrup diet, which consists of three phases (pre-diet, diet and post-diet) is losing weight quickly. Remember that this is a purifier diet, so it is advisable to carry it out for a specific and limited time (between 7 and 10 days).

During the first phase, which should be performed for three days before starting the purifier plan, mix the maple syrup with healthy foods such as salads, soups, fruit or bread. Remember that maple sap is very similar to honey (in texture and colour), and is also a natural sweetener. You can also add it to your tea; however, we recommend avoiding drinking tea or coffee, if you can.

During this pre-diet phase , you could also add some syrup to a litre of water, which you should drink throughout the day. This will help your body become accustomed to the syrup, preparng it for the purifier plan.

During the days of the diet (one week approximately) you should consume the following syrup mixture only. Add maple syrup (about 16 tablespoons approximately) to about two litres of water to dilute it. Also add the juice of three or four lemons, and a pinch of cinnamon or other spices to give a touch of extra flavour.

Let's say this is considered a fasting phase. It is far more restrictive as you are only allowed to drink this mixture, as well as herbal teas (avoid regular tea and coffee). Here at OneHowTo we'll tell you in detail how to undertake the maple syrup diet.

The maple syrup diet is restrictive and hard, but will help you lose weight quickly and easily. However, it is important not to suddenly start stuffing your face as soon as you've completed it. Instead, we advise carrying out a post-diet phase, to avoid the yo-yo effect of gaining the weight you've just lost. This last part of purifying plan must be carried out for three days after you finish the restrictive phase.

Gradually you will reintroduce foods (such as those eaten during the pre-diet phase) and keep drinking the mixture of maple syrup. After three days you should start eating a healthy, varied and balanced diet that helps you keep the weight off. Also start exercising regularly to stop any pounds lost from creeping back on.

Remember that all restrictive diets can pose numerous adverse effects and consequences. Remember that, to lose weight the healthy way, you should follow a healthy and balanced diet and exercise regularly. If your weight problems are more serious and you need to lose more than just a few extra pounds, please consult a specialist (dietitian or nutritionist).

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have hypertension problems, are diabetic or have a serious illness, refrain from carrying out this strict diet. Remember also that you must not exceed the indicated days as you could suffer from a shortage of nutrients.

Maple syrup is perfect to help you lose weight because it is low in calories and also has many benefits for the body. This will remove toxins, cleanse the body (colon and intestines) and will help you lose weight.
