Do you want to lose a few pounds and best of all tomorrow? That sounds like an unfulfillable wish, but the 24-hour diet is supposed to fulfill it.
- Losing weight is associated with a long, uncomfortable process.
- The 24-hour diet should make losing weight easier and shorter.
- Can it really work?
Losing weight takes time - sometimes very long. No wonder, after all, you didn't eat the extra pounds * in a short time, but mostly for months or even years.
Since losing weight is so tedious, many dieters will quickly fall back into old patterns after a motivated start and the display on the scales remains at the initial weight. But the 24-hour diet is supposed to solve the dilemma.
The 24-hour diet promises quick results when losing weight
Anyone who has had a few attempts at losing weight knows the sad truth: At the beginning you usually only take off water. To counteract this effect and attack the fat reserves right from the start and reduce body weight permanently *, first empty your carbohydrate stores on the 24-hour diet.
Unfortunately, without "sweat and tears", success does not come to you. The "inventor" of the 24-hour diet Achim Sam relies on hard interval training that pushes you to your limits. This is supposed to trim your metabolism towards fat burning.

The 24-hour diet melts fat with exercise - with the right preparation and aftercare
According to Sams, you should not eat anything about two hours before your workout and should definitely avoid caffeinated drinks such as coffee or cola so that fat burning can run at full speed .
You can eat after exercising, but only a protein-rich meal without carbohydrates, e.g. chicken breast with salad or cheese.
You will be happy to read that not only do you have to eat reduced amounts and exercise hard, but you can also sleep a lot. Your body needs these phases of recovery in order to burn fat effectively.

24-hour diet actually a "bluff"
General calorie needs per day
Woman: about 1,330 to 2,200 kcal
Men: around 1,900 to 2,600 kcal
The first day of training is followed by the actual day of the diet - the 24-hour diet is actually a small "bluff" because you don't just have to deal with it for 24 hours. On the second day there is also training, but a much easier endurance training to keep the fat burning on the go.
However, you can only consume very limited calories on this day :
- Women: 800-900 calories
- Men: 1,000-1,100 calories
Avoid carbohydrates and continue to rely on protein-rich dishes such as scrambled eggs, chicken breast, fish and cheese.
Lose weight quickly: is the 24-hour diet suitable for you?
Are you wondering whether you should try the 24-hour diet and take a closer look at Achim Sam's concept? This program is really only suitable for small kilos . If you want to lose a pound or two before an event to fit into a pair of pants or a dress without breathing, then you can try this flash diet. For long-term weight control, this diet is only suitable if you do it once or twice a week , best of course at the weekend.
If you have a longer diet path ahead, you should focus on long-term dietary changes and exercise programs. But also in this way a so-called "booster" can do good to bring movement in the pointer on your scale. Then the 24-hour diet comes in just right, because it shows a lot of effect with relatively little expenditure of time.
Important: If you are very overweight with a BMI over 30, you are pregnant or have health problems, you have to stay away from such crash diets and seek advice from a doctor or a nutrition coach.
