5 rules of the "favorite diet"
Below is a detailed description of the basic rules of the diet. It is important to observe them to be able to endure this difficult marathon and achieve a guaranteed effect in a certain way.
- Deep cleaning.On the eve of the first day of the "favorite diet" it is necessary to cleanse the intestinal tract with an enema or special laxatives. This is done to remove toxins that, based on the following dietary restrictions, can become stagnant in the body and impair well-being.
- Don't be fond. . . All allowed foods must be taken strictly in the sequence prescribed by the program. It is impossible to change diets for daily diets.
- Vitamin support.With the help of these weight loss methods, the body especially needs support. Therefore, it is recommended to take vitamin-mineral fortification complexes. In this case, it is better to start a few weeks before the diet, not to give up on time and take pills until the end of the course.
- Internal stop.The diet does not impose critical limits on calories or portion volume. But you can't afford to eat too much. It is better to leave the contents of the plate when you are still a little hungry. Listen to your feelings - the body will signal its norm. In particular, the detention rule applies to alcoholic diets. There are many "favorite diets" in which only wine and cheese are allowed for one day. This does not mean that you should start holding the "plumb bob" in the morning. This emphasizes the drainage orientation of the days and the fact that losing weight at night can be a bit relaxing.
- Save energy.Physical activity is often important when it comes to 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 body's energy capacity. And exercising in the gym on such a diet is simply impossible. But daily walks in the air will come in handy. The advantage is that this diet is inexpensive. 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 food recipes: all raw or made in the store.

Get off the diet
The last day that you comply with the restrictions on the menu does not mean that you can start eating everything you get your hands on. Remember that it takes time to consolidate the results obtained, and if you immediately start to recover uncontrollably, the weight you managed to lose will return in 2-3 weeks.
You should cut back on your diet by incorporating new foods evenly into your daily diet. Going back to fatty and sugary foods is the last thing you should do. Increase the total calorie content of food daily by 150-200 kcal to the norm, continue to consume 2-2. 5 liters of water per day.
The point of view of the professionals
Doctors have special opinions on diets. Let's consider a number of main reasons and reasons:
- An unbalanced diet slows down the metabolism, aggravates all acquired diseases and is the reason for the appearance of new diseases.
- Digestion, hormones, skin and muscle tone, the condition of the teeth, bones and joints, blood circulation and the sebaceous glands are altered.
- The general appearance is deteriorating. In their favorite diet, they have very few calories every day.
- What threatens: with a lack of energy, which has become acute, the body breaks down not only fat, but also muscles.
- The excess weight lost in this way always comes back (! ) And increases.
For example, they lost 10 kg and gained 15. In this case, the fat is already stored, not the muscle. And the body will appear free and you will feel even weaker. Dietary restrictions are stress on the body.
In the version of your favorite diet, this stress lasts for a week. Therefore, people feel depressed, exhausted. Decreases brain activity. In this sense, it speaks of forgetfulness, distraction, dizziness, disgusting sleep. Blood sugar drops sharply. The appetite increases, the mood is spoiled. All of this increases the risk of "breakdown" when people can't hold out and jump on junk food. As a result, they keep gaining enormous weight compared to before and after.
Therefore, this diet is always harshly criticized. No competent nutritionist will recommend a diet that is guaranteed to eliminate massive amounts in a short time. As a result, you do not get harmony, but a whole complex of diseases.
