About The Diet
The Spark Solution diet is designed to remove the mental road blocks that comes with weight loss. The creators state that if you follow their program, you can change your bad eating habits into good ones in just two weeks.
This diet was developed by SparkPeople.com’s dietitian Becky Hand. The Spark Solution gives plans to remove mental road blocks that people have while dieting and starting to diet.
The diet plan’s first recommendation is that you start your day with eight ounces of water right when you wake up. This is because your body starts fasting while you are asleep.
As for meals, The Spark Solution allows users to have three meals and two snacks everyday, totaling about 1,500 calories.
The Spark Solution has a workout plan that combines cardio and strength training. During the first week it is recommended to do 30 minute work outs.
