A 10 Day Diet does not fall under the categories of protein diet, low carbohydrate diet, fat-free diet.
It also does not belong to a crash diet because the 10 day diet contains not less than 1,000 calories per day. To be precise, you get about between 1,000 and 1,100 calories a day and that is why this is called a low-calorie diet.
Because you eat low-calorie, you will also lose a lot in a short time and quickly. The intention is 15 lbs in 10 days.
How does a 10 Day Diet work?
A 10 Day Diet has a number of basic rules which are:
- Only water, coffee and tea (without milk or sugar)
- Drink at least 2. 5 liters of water per day
- Dairy is allowed, but only the low-fat alternatives
- Use margarine instead of butter
- Do not use sauces or mayonnaise
- Do not use fat for frying or roasting
- Eat only lean meats
- Eat only whole grain brown bread

Fortunately, many people are already aware that this diet is not the way to lose weight permanently. If you do not understand this yet, I will explain exactly what now exactly are the benefits and disadvantages of the a 10-day diet.
Advantages and Disadvantages of a 10-day diet
The advantages of a 10 day diet are:
- Few rules
- The recipes are very simple to follow
- It is a diet that you can follow every time
- You don't starve
The Disadvantages of a 10-day diet are:
- There is not thinking about the long term. After 10 days you will certainly be lighter, but this is temporary. Even if you keep following this diet repeatedly. Because there comes a time when you no longer can maintain the diet and fall back into your old eating habits, the yo-yo effect will occur and you will eventually lose your muscle tissue, so you're right back to your old weight or worse.
- You learn nothing. They are just a few rules to learn.
- Even though it is not so much a fat-free diet, this diet has certainly not enough healthy fats. Healthy fats are essential for a healthy diet and can also help indirectly very good for losing weight.
- It is not a healthy diet. If you have 10 days of with an amount of 1,000-1,100 calories, you don't get enough nutrients your body needs to function properly.
In short, the benefits do not outweigh the major disadvantages, so I would not advise you to follow this diet. There are far better and more sustainable methods to lose weight.
