Karl Lagerfield Diet Claims to Help Lose 92 Pounds

shutterstock_59640790 











Karl Lagerfield Diet was a collaborative work of fashion designer Karl Lagerfield and nutritional doctor Jean Claude Houdret. The two were motivated to design the diet program because of Lagerfield’s desire to fit into clothes which were specifically designed for slimmer and younger men. The Karl Lagerfield Diet discusses the behavioral and psychological aspects of obesity and how to combat this by developing a person’s will power.
The Karl Lagerfield Diet principle is very simple. Avoid refined and fried food; increase your intake of vegetables and lean protein; and limiting your amount of fat and calorie intake. The Karl Lagerfield Diet gives emphasis to protein consumption because both authors believe that it is vital in lessening the risk of unhealthy muscle mass loss.
The Karl Lagerfield Diet is also referred to as the Spoonlight program because of its three phases. The first phase involves a limited amount of calorie intake for two weeks which is equivalent to 800 to 900 calories daily. Dieters are allowed to have three meals each day composed of vegetables and protein food supplement.
The second phase of the Karl Lagerfield Diet allows more number of calories, which is 1000-1200. This time it also permits protein supplement substitution in the evening which can either be fish, chicken breast or meat. If you desire it, then a low fat yogurt or cheese can also be tolerated at the end of your meal.
The Last Phase of the Karl Lagerfield Diet increases the calorie to 1200-1600. An additional whole wheat toast is included in your breakfast meal and a piece of fruit in the evening.
The foundation of the Karl Lagerfield Diet lies on Dr. Houdret protein supplements which are designed to replace one of your meals each day. It offers you different flavors to choose from, namely fish soup, ham and cheese omelet, chocolate and egg based custard. It also uses lean proteins, vegetables and low fat dairy products as one of the basis of the Karl Lagerfield Diet while allowing a limited quantity of fruits and whole wheat bread in ach meal.
One interesting fact about this diet program is the Lagerfield’s view that dieting should be viewed as a form of punishment. It should really be difficult so only those with enough will power and determination can really stay on the program. Moreover, it also suggests certain eating disorders that are harmful like chewing food and then spitting it out. The Karl Lagerfield Diet is quite expensive nevertheless, it only requires a very few time to spend in its food preparation making it perfect for busy professionals like Lagerfield.
