Fasting days are very popular (especially days on the water), because they allow the body to be cleansed of waste and toxins, implying a strictly defined diet.The "favorite" diet is based on the principles of such days, and strict adherence to all the rules will allow you to lose approximately 1 kg per day.
What is the essence of diet?
The "favorite" diet is 7, 12 or 14 days of fasting, during which it is allowed to consume a limited amount of the same type of food according to a strictly regulated scheme.It is recommended to get rid of any serious things during the test and not to be away from home for a long time, because eating most days causes intensification of intestinal motility and increases stress on the kidneys.
On the one hand, the result is explained by a significant caloric deficit in the diet menu.On the other hand, weight loss is facilitated by a daily complete change of diet - the body does not have time to adjust energy consumption to one restriction before another immediately occurs.
For the body, the "favorite" diet is stressful, because it not only has to function in a mode of severe resource limitation, but also to adapt to a new type of diet every day.Because of this, the effect of weight loss is caused.
"Favorite" diet plan for 7 days
If you have chosen the 7-day favorite diet, i.e. the classic and gentle version, follow the following nutrition schedule:
1st, 3rd and 6th day - liquid or drink
Hunger can be satisfied only with liquid food, but in any quantity.The absence of restrictions primarily applies to still water, tea without sweeteners and low-fat kefir.You can also use soup without salt and spices, as well as freshly squeezed fruit, fruit and vegetable juices.Preference should be given to vegetables, and it is advisable to limit their daily intake to two glasses.
Day 2 - vegetables
All types of vegetables (except potatoes), especially green - all types of cabbage, zucchini, cucumbers, radishes and radishes, you can also eggplants and tomatoes.Vegetables can be steamed, boiled, baked, but not fried.
You can eat fresh vegetable salads seasoned with lemon juice and even vegetable oil (up to 2 tablespoons per day).All dishes can be flavored with a certain amount of natural spices, but salt must not be added.
In total, you are allowed to eat 1.5-2 kg of vegetables per day, dividing it into 5 portions.You must also drink 1.5 liters of clean still water.
4th day – fruity
Your daily diet is 3 kilograms of any fruit, except high-calorie bananas and grapes.Favorites are fat-burning pineapples, pectin-rich apples and the best fruit for weight loss - grapefruit.
Try to eat fruit that is in season, not fruit brought from another country.Follow your body's reaction - if you don't feel well, for example, from bitter grapefruit, choose another fruit.Do not forget about the drinking regime.
Day 5 - proteins
You will finally feel full!Try not to attack food, but eat slowly, in small portions, but often - 6-7 times a day.You can enjoy chicken fillet dishes without skin and fat, sea fish and seafood, eat eggs (preferably only egg whites), low-fat cottage cheese.Without sauce, spices, salt.Water, as before - 1.5 liters per day.
Day 7 - Finals
Eat moderately and properly, eating all the foods you ate on your "favorite" diet on different days.Still without salt and fatty sauces, steamed, on the grill, in the oven.An example menu is:
- in the morning:2 eggs.
- snack:low-fat kefir or yogurt, fresh cheese.
- during the day:lean chicken soup with vegetables.
- snack:a couple 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 than once every 2-3 months.You can choose other diets 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 the 12-day analogue of this diet.The network of "nutritionists" devised two options for continuation:
First option:
- 7th day- not a way out of the diet, as with the weekly scheme, but a heavy relief of mineral water.
- 8th day— vegetables (you can eat vegetables in any form, as described in the seven-day diet recommendations above).
- 9th day- kefir.You can drink it in unlimited quantities, but only with a little fat.
- 10th day- protein.Follow all the recommendations of the 5th protein day.
- 11th day- exclusively on green tea.
- 12th day- exiting the diet, similar to the last day in the seven-day version.At the same time, it is worth supplementing the vitamin balance in the body with fruit.
other option:
Another option involves dividing the entire 12-day period into four three-day mono-diets:
- Three days of kefir.Low-fat kefir in any quantity.
- Three days of apples.All apples and in any quantity, raw and/or baked.
- Three protein days.Chicken fillet prepared with dietary methods without salt and spices.Careful!This is a very heavy load on the kidneys.You can and should drink water.
- Three days of wine and cheese.Each meal is 150 ml of wine and 30 g of cheese.The number of such snacks is limited only by your alcohol tolerance.Apparently, after losing so much weight in the previous nine days, it is possible to last another three only in a state of permanent intoxication.
Those who do not drink wine can substitute grape or pomegranate juice.It is recommended only if the acidity of the gastric juice is not increased.
"Favorite" diet for 14 days
The popular two-week diet does not offer a particularly original diet such as wine days (or the wine diet).These are simply the two seven-day diets described above in a row.Due to the special duration of dietary restrictions, it is worth extending the drinking days 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 greens, water and one or two fruits.There are options for protein days only on chicken breast.And some recommendations do not exclude potatoes on vegetable day.
So you can adjust your "favorite" diet for 14 days as you see fit, making it a bit gentle.
General recommendations
Regardless of the diet plan - 7, 12 or 14 days - follow the following recommendations:
- Do not try to combine your favorite diet with intense training.Her very meager diet will not provide your body with the amount of energy necessary for a full workout.Therefore, the efficiency of fitness will be extremely low, but the probability of getting injured will increase significantly.Just rest.
- Drinking enough water during your diet is very important, but it is equally important to drink properly.You should not drink water during or immediately after eating, because in this case it dilutes the gastric juice, which leads to a disturbance in the digestion process.Drink half an hour before eating and no earlier than an hour after.Try to drink small doses during the day (up to 50 ml).
- To make the results of the "favorite" diet last, eat in a similar way to the seventh day of the scheme for another week.Try to keep in your practice healthy eating habits such as cooking, baking and steaming, limiting salt and sugar and eating in moderation.
Diet "Favorite": results
Supporters of the "favorite" diet talk about truly unique results: from 5 to 10 kg in 14 days.There were cases where with the help of this diet they lost 14-16 kg in two weeks.
But you should understand that this is not all excess fat.Much of the weight loss with such rapid weight loss is fluid and muscle mass.Moreover, impressive results are only possible with impressive surpluses.
If you weigh 65 kg, don't expect to lose ten pounds in 2 weeks;you will most likely get rid of 2-4 kg:
Diet contraindications
Contraindications to the diet are diseases of the excretory organs, gastrointestinal tract, metabolic disorders, mental disorders, etc.It is better to look for a less extreme way to lose weight if your health record contains:
- any kidney and liver diseases;
- gastritis and colitis;
- cardiovascular system dysfunction;
- abnormalities in eating behavior;
- prone to emotional overeating.
Also, the "Favorite" diet cannot be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and after an illness or during a period 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 mentally for a strict diet.At the same time, this is an excellent option to "shake up" the body, cleanse it of toxic substances and remove excess weight.
