The P.I.N.K. Diet

The P.I.N.K. Diet

02 Oct 2024 by Ted Escobedo   2 min read

There are different phases to the P.I.N.K. method. In the first phase, which lasts 3 to 14 days, you’ll be eating very few calories: about 1,000 a day, according to the sample menus.
In the second phase, protein, vegetables, and fruit are on the menu, and you’ll start the plan’s DVD workouts, led by buff, pink-clad trainers.
Once you're near your goal weight, it’s time for the “7-Day Shred” phase, which curbs carbs and fats in favor of a vegetable soup to help you drop those last few pounds. When you reach your goal weight, you’ll start the maintenance phase, which calls for eating 1,400 to 1,800 calories per day.
What you can eat on the P.I.N.K Diet:
Fresh vegetables and fruits; “light” proteins such as turkey, chicken, lentils, black beans, and salmon; and high-fiber carbs form the core of the menus; though in Phase 1, your carbs are mostly limited to vegetables.
You can have one to two servings of alcohol a week after the first 9 weeks. Processed foods and refined sugars are not on the menu, so forget cookies and packaged meals.
You can also have moderate amounts of caffeine.
