There are several mono diets and many ways to follow the plan.

One of the most common variations involves eating a single food item for each meal, such as potatoes, apples, or eggs.

Others stick to ingredients within a specific food group, such as meat, fruits, or vegetables.

You can also switch between “mono meals” by eating a different food item at each meal.

Although there are no specific guidelines regarding how long you should follow the diet, most use it to ramp up weight loss by following it for just 1 or 2 weeks at a time.

Foods such as soups, salads, and smoothies can be reintroduced before transitioning into a healthy and balanced diet.

However, some people may also follow certain variations of the diet, such as the fruitarian or carnivore diet, for more extended periods without reintroducing other foods into their diet.
