If your idea of the dream diet is pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner, then you dreams may have just come true.
Meet Matt McClellan, pizza shop owner. Determined to show that you can lose weight with nothing but pizza, he devised the 30 day pizza diet. 9am to 9pm, eight slices of pizza a day. He worked with a nutritionist and consulted a doctor and at the end of the program, was almost 25 pounds lighter.
Not only that, but his blood pressure and cholesterol were down, his body fat percentage dropped an amazing 10 percentage points, and his BMI was down. All this from pizza. Now, it was made with skim-milk cheese and the meat lovers was off the table, but still, a 30 day pizza diet.
However, before you sign up for your frequent diner program and the pizzeria, you’d better be prepared to work out an hour per day as Matt diet, and also keep the total calories to about 2500 per day from the pizza. It seems like a reasonable premise, and in the end, it’s simply calories in vs. calories out.
We don’t really know how healthy or sustainable this diet is over the long term, but it does prove that weight loss is a simple formula. It’s simple caloric deficit, no matter what the format of the calories.
