In this exploration of fat loss, we introduce the CPB Diet, a unique approach designed to help individuals like Max, a personal trainer, and Isabel, a Lagree coach, lose body fat without calorie counting. This diet incorporates a buffet-style meal plan focusing on linear foods: chicken breast, potatoes, broccoli, and carrots. The three rules are simple: unlimited portions of these foods, one tablespoon of olive oil per meal, and a complete avoidance of liquid calories including diet sodas and artificial sweeteners.
Interestingly, both participants faced initial challenges like food boredom and habits. However, neither experienced significant hunger, indicating the diet’s effectiveness in keeping them satiated. After one week, Max lost over 3 centimeters and Isabel lost 1.5 centimeters from their waists. The science behind the diet emphasizes the filling nature of potatoes, which help minimize cravings.
As the experiment continued, Isabel had to make minor adjustments during her menstrual cycle to maintain her energy and fullness without breaking the diet rules. Ultimately, after 30 days, Isabel dropped from 31% to 28% body fat, while Max reduced his body fat from 19.3% to 12.9% — remarkable results for such a short period.
