"Favorite" diet - lose weight on fasting days

Fasting days are very popular (especially days on the water), because they allow you to cleanse the body of waste and toxins, implying eating according to a strictly prescribed pattern.The "favorite" diet is based on the principle of those days, and strict adherence to all the rules will allow you to lose about 1 kg per day.

What is the essence of diet?

The "Favorite" diet is a 7, 12 or 14 day fast, during which you are allowed to consume a limited amount of the same type of food according to a strictly controlled scheme.It is advisable to refrain from anything serious during the test and not to be away from home for a long time, because the diet on most days causes an increase in intestinal motility and increases the pressure on the kidneys.

On the one hand, the results are explained by a significant calorie deficit in the diet menu.On the other hand, weight loss is facilitated by complete dietary changes every day - the body does not have time to adjust energy consumption to one restriction before another is immediately set.

For the body, the "Favorite" diet is stressful, because it not only works in severe resource limitation mode, but also adapts to new types of nutrition every day.It is due to this that the effect of weight loss is provoked.

"Favorite" diet plan for 7 days

If you have chosen the favorite 7-day diet, which is the classic and soft version, follow the following nutrition table:

1st, 3rd and 6th day - liquids or drinks

Hunger can only be satisfied with liquid food, but in any quantity.The absence of restrictions mainly applies to still water, unsweetened tea and low-fat kefir.You can also use soups without salt and spices, as well as freshly squeezed fruit juices, fruits and vegetables.Priority should be given to vegetables, and it is advised to limit their daily intake to two glasses.

Day 2 - vegetables

All kinds of vegetables (except potatoes), especially green ones - all kinds of cabbage, zucchini, cucumbers, turnips and turnips, you can also eggplant and tomatoes.You can steam, boil, bake vegetables, but don't fry them.

You can eat salads from fresh vegetables, seasoned with lemon juice and also vegetable oil (up to 2 spoons a day).All dishes are allowed to be flavored with a certain amount of natural spices, but salt cannot be added.

In total, you are allowed to eat 1.5-2 kg of vegetables per day, dividing them into 5 meals.You also need to drink 1.5 liters of clean water.

Day 4 - fruits

Your daily diet is 3 kilograms of any fruit, except bananas and high-calorie grapes.Favorites are fat-burning pineapple, pectin-rich apples and the best fruit for weight loss - grapefruit.

Try to eat fruits that are in season instead of fruits brought from other countries.Monitor your body's reaction - if you feel unwell, for example, from bitter grapefruit, choose another fruit.Remember about the drinking regime.

Day 5 - protein

You will finally feel full!Try not to rush food, but eat slowly, in small portions, but often - 6-7 times a day.You can enjoy dishes from chicken fillet without skin and fat, sea fish and seafood, eat eggs (preferably only white), low-fat cottage cheese.No sauce, seasoning, salt.Water, as before - 1.5 liters per day.

Day 7 - the end

Eat moderately and properly, eat all the foods you eat on your "Favorite" diet on different days.Still without salt and fatty sauces, steamed, grilled, cooked in the oven.An example menu is:

• In the morning:2 eggs.
• Snacks:kefir or low-fat yogurt, cottage cheese.
• During the day:low fat chicken soup with vegetables.
• Snacks:a pair of apples.
• In the evening:vegetable salad.

And don't forget about one and a half liters of water that you should drink during the day.

You can practice the diet no more often than once every 2-3 months.You can also choose another diet for 7 days.

"Favorite" diet for 12 days

Initially, the "Favorite" diet was designed for a week, but it was quickly supplemented with expanded options.So, if 7 days is not enough for you, try a 12-day analogue of this diet.Network "nutritionists" come up with two options to proceed:

First option:

• 7th day- not a way out of the diet, as with the weekly scheme, but hard unloading on mineral water.
• the 8th day— vegetables (you can eat vegetables in any form, as described in the recommendations for the seven-day diet above).
• the 9th day- kefir.You can drink it in unlimited quantities, but only low fat.
• the 10th day- protein.Follow all the recommendations of the 5th protein day.
• the 11th day- exclusively on green tea.
• the 12th day- exit the diet, same as the last day in the seven-day version.At the same time, it is worth replenishing the body's vitamin balance with fruits.

Second option:

The second option involves dividing the entire 12-day period into four three-day mono-diets:

1. Three days kefir.Low-fat kefir in any quantity.
2. Three days of apples.Any apple and in any quantity, raw and/or baked.
3. Three days of protein.Chicken fillet is prepared using a method of nutrition without salt and spices.Be careful!This is a huge burden on the kidneys.You can and should drink water.
4. Three days of wine and cheese.Each serving is 150 ml of wine and 30 g of cheese.The number of such snacks is limited only by your tolerance for alcohol.Apparently, after the severe weight loss of the previous nine days, it was possible to hold on to another three only in a state of permanent intoxication.

Non-drinkers can substitute wine with grape or pomegranate juice.It is recommended only if the acidity of gastric juice does not increase.

"Favorite" diet for 14 days

The favorite 2 week diet does not offer a diet as original as the wine day (or the wine diet).These are just two of the seven-day diets described above in a row.Due to the special period of dietary restrictions, it is worth extending the drinking day with compotes, fruit drinks, jellies and milkshakes with fruit, but without sugar.

On drinking days, some also drink coffee (no more than a cup a day without sugar), fruit and vegetable smoothies and so-called green cocktails, which are prepared with a large amount of vegetables, water and one or two fruits.There is an option for a protein day only on chicken breast.And some recommendations do not exclude potatoes on vegetable days.

So, you can adjust your "Favorite" diet for 14 days to suit yourself, making it quite gentle.

General recommendations

Regardless of your meal plan - 7, 12 or 14 days - listen to the following recommendations:

1. Do not try to combine your favorite diet with intense exercise.A very small diet will not give your body the amount of energy it needs for a full workout.Therefore, the effectiveness of fitness will be very low, but the possibility of getting injured will increase significantly.Just rest.
2. Drinking enough water during a diet is very important, but it is equally important to drink properly.You should not drink water during or immediately after a meal, because in this case it dilutes the gastric juice, which leads to a disturbance of the digestive process.Drink half an hour before meals and no earlier than an hour after.Try to drink small doses throughout the day (up to 50 ml).
3. In order for the results of the "Favorite" diet to last, eat the same as on the seventh day of the scheme for another week.Try to practice healthy eating habits such as cooking, baking and steaming, limiting salt and sugar, and eating in moderation.

"Favorite" diet: results

Adherents of the "Favorite" diet talk about truly unique results: from 5 to 10 kg in 14 days.There are cases when, with the help of this diet, they lost 14-16 kg in two weeks.

But you should understand that not all of this is excess fat.Most of the weight loss with such rapid weight loss is fluid and muscle mass.Moreover, impressive results are only possible with impressive excess.If you weigh 65 kg, don't expect to lose ten pounds in 2 weeks;most likely, you will get rid of 2-4 kg:

Contraindications to diet

Contraindications to the diet are diseases of the excretory system, gastrointestinal tract, metabolic disorders, mental disorders, etc.You're better off looking for less extreme ways to lose weight if your medical record contains:

• any kidney and liver disease;
• gastritis and colitis;
• cardiovascular system dysfunction;
• eating behavior abnormalities;
• prone to emotional overeating.

Also, the "Favorite" diet should not be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and after illness or during periods of increased physical activity, it is better to refrain from it.In the next article we will talk about the rules for observing fasting days during pregnancy.

The "favorite" diet is quite strict, so if you have no contraindications, prepare yourself psychologically for a strict diet.At the same time, this is an excellent option to give the body a "shake", cleanse it of toxic substances and get rid of excess weight.
