5 rules of "favorite diet"
Below is a detailed description of the basic rules of the diet. It is important to observe them in order to withstand this difficult marathon and get a guaranteed effect in a certain way.
- Thorough cleaning.On the eve of the 1st day of the "favorite diet" it is necessary to cleanse the intestinal tract with an enema or special laxatives. This is done to eliminate toxins, which, in accordance with the following dietary restrictions, can stagnate in the body and worsen well-being.
- Do not be amateur. . . All permitted foods must be taken strictly in the sequence prescribed by the program. It is impossible to exchange diets for daily ones.
- Vitamin support.With the help of these methods of losing weight, the body especially needs support. Therefore, it is recommended to take vitamin and mineral enrichment complexes. In this case, it is better to start a few weeks before the diet, do not give it up on time and take pills until the end of the course.
- Internal Stop.The diet does not impose critical calorie or serving volume limits. But, you cannot afford to eat too much. Better to leave the contents of the plate when you are still a little hungry. Listen to your feelings: the body will give a sign of your norm. In particular, the rule of arrest applies to alcoholic diets. There are many "favorite diets" where only wine and cheese are allowed for a day. This does not mean that you need to start celebrating the "plumb line" in the morning. This underscores the drain orientation of the days and the fact that losing weight in the evening can be a bit relaxing.
- Saving energy.Physical activity is usually important when losing weight. If we strengthen the natural internal fat burning processes with external support, the effect will be more pleasant and immediate. Poor nutrition significantly reduces the energy capacity of the body. And exercising in the gym with such a diet is simply impossible. But daily walks by air will be helpful. The advantage is that this diet is budget friendly. You don't need to spend a lot on groceries. There is another way to save money: it requires minimal cooking time. After all, there are no complicated recipes for food: all raw or shop-made.

Exiting the diet
The last day you stick to the restrictions on the menu does not mean that you can start eating whatever you can get your hands on. Remember that it takes time to consolidate the results obtained, and if you immediately begin to recover uncontrollably, the weight that you managed to lose will return in 2-3 weeks.
You should cut your diet by incorporating new foods evenly into your daily diet. Returning to fatty and sugary foods is the last thing you need to do. Increase the total calorie content of foods daily by 150-200 kcal to the norm, continue to consume 2-2. 5 liters of water per day.
The point of view of professionals
Doctors have special opinions about diets. Let's consider a number of reasons and main reasons:
- An unbalanced diet slows down the metabolism, causes an exacerbation of all acquired diseases and is the cause of the appearance of new diseases.
- Digestion, hormones, skin and muscle tone, condition of teeth, bones and joints, blood circulation, sebaceous glands are impaired.
- The overall appearance is deteriorating. In their favorite diet, they have very few calories every day.
- What threatens: with a lack of energy, which has been sharpened, the body breaks down not only fat, but also muscles.
- The excess weight lost in this way always returns (! ) And increases.
For example, they lost 10 kg and gained 15. In this case, fat is already accumulated, not muscle. And the body will seem to be free, and you will feel even weaker. Dietary restrictions are stress for the body.
In the version of your favorite diet, this stress lasts for a week. Therefore, people feel depressed, exhausted. Brain activity decreases. In this regard, he speaks of forgetfulness, distraction, dizziness, disgusting sleep. Blood sugar drops sharply. Appetite increases, mood spoils. All this increases the risk of "collapse" when people can not stand it and throw themselves into junk food. As a result, they still gain enormous weight when compared before and after.
Therefore, such a diet is always harshly criticized. No competent nutritionist will recommend a diet that is guaranteed to eliminate massive amounts in a short amount of time. As a result, you get not harmony, but a whole complex of diseases.
