“Favorites” 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 established scheme.The “favorite” diet is based on the principles of these days, and strict adherence to all the rules will allow you to lose about 1 kg per day.

What is the essence of the diet?

The “Preferred” diet is 7, 12 or 14 days of fasting, during which you are allowed to consume a limited amount of the same type of food according to a strictly regulated pattern.It is advisable to free yourself from any serious problems during the examination and not be away from home for a long time, since the diet of most days causes intensification of intestinal motility and puts increased stress on the kidneys.

On the one hand, the result is explained by a significant calorie deficit in the diet menu.On the other hand, weight loss is facilitated by a complete change in daily diet: the body does not have time to adapt its energy consumption to a restriction before another immediately sets in.

For the body, the “Favorite” diet is stressful, because it not only has to function in a mode of severe resource limitation, but also readjust to a new type of diet every day.It is for this reason that the weight loss effect is caused.

“Favorite” diet plan for 7 days

If you have chosen a favorite 7-day diet, that is, a classic and gentle version, follow the following nutritional program:

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

Hunger can only be satisfied with liquid food, but in any quantity.The lack of restrictions mainly applies to plain water, tea without sweeteners and low-fat kefir.You can also use broth 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 consumption to two glasses.

2nd day - vegetable

All kinds of vegetables (except potatoes), especially greens - all types of cabbage, zucchini, cucumbers, radishes and radishes, you can also eggplants and tomatoes.You can steam, boil, bake vegetables, but do not fry them.

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 should not be added.

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

Day 4 – fruity

Your daily diet consists of 3 kilograms of fruits, excluding high-calorie bananas and grapes.Favorites include fat-burning pineapples, pectin-rich apples, and the best fruit for weight loss: grapefruit.

Try to eat seasonal fruits rather than those imported from another country.Monitor your body's reaction - if you feel unwell, for example from a bitter grapefruit, choose another fruit.Don't forget about the drinking regime.

Day 5 - proteins

You will finally feel full!Try not to binge on 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 ones), low-fat cottage cheese.No sauces, seasonings, salt.Water, as before - 1.5 liters per day.

7th day - final

Eat moderately and correctly, eating all the foods you ate in your “favorite” diet on different days.Always without salt and fatty sauces, steamed, grilled, in the oven.An example menu is:

• The morning :2 eggs.
• Snack :kefir or low-fat yogurt, cottage cheese.
• During the day:low-fat chicken soup with vegetables.
• Snack :a few apples.
• The evening :vegetable salad.

And don’t forget a liter and a half of water that you should drink during the day.

You cannot practice the diet more than once every 2-3 months.You can also choose other diets for 7 days.

“Favorite” diet for 12 days

Initially, the “Favorites” 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.The network of “nutritionists” proposed two options for continuation:

First possibility:

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

Second option:

The second option is to divide the entire 12-day period into four three-day mono-diets:

1. Three days of kefir.Low-fat kefir in any quantity.
2. Three days of apple.Apples of your choice and in any quantity, raw and/or baked.
3. Three days of protein.Chicken fillet prepared using dietary methods without salt and spices.Thoroughly!This is a very heavy load on the kidneys.You can and should drink water.
4. Three wine and cheese days.Each meal includes 150 ml of wine and 30 g of cheese.The number of these snacks is limited only by your alcohol tolerance.Apparently, after such a significant weight loss over the previous nine days, it is possible to endure another three only in a state of permanent drunkenness.

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

“Favorite” diet for 14 days

The favorite 2-week diet does not offer a particularly original diet like wine days (or the wine diet).These are simply the two consecutive seven day diets described above.Due to the particular duration of dietary restrictions, it is worth extending the drinking days with compotes, fruit drinks, jellies and fruit milkshakes, but without sugar.

On drinking days, some also drink coffee (no more than one cup per day without sugar), fruit and vegetable smoothies and so-called green cocktails, prepared with a large amount of green vegetables, 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 adapt your “Favorite” diet for 14 days as you wish, making it a little gentle.

General recommendations

Whatever your diet plan - 7, 12 or 14 days - listen to the following recommendations:

1. Don't try to combine your favorite diet with intense training.His very lean diet will not provide your body with the amount of energy needed for a full workout.Therefore, the effectiveness of fitness will be extremely low, but the risk of injury will increase significantly.Rest.
2. Drinking enough water while dieting is very important, but drinking properly is just as important.You should not drink water during or immediately after meals, because in this case it dilutes gastric juice, which leads to disruption of the digestion 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. To make the results of the “Favorite” diet last long, eat the same as on the seventh day of the diet for an additional week.Try to keep healthy eating habits like cooking, baking and steaming, limiting salt and sugar, and eating in moderation in your practice.

“Favorite” diet: results

Adherents of the “Favorites” diet talk about truly unique results: from 5 to 10 kg in 14 days.There have been cases when, thanks to this diet, they lost 14-16 kg in two weeks.

But you need to understand that it’s not all just excess fat.Much of the weight loss with such rapid weight loss involves water and muscle mass.Furthermore, impressive results are only possible with impressive surpluses.If you weigh 65 kg, don't expect to lose ten kilos in 2 weeks;most likely you will get rid of 2-4 kg:

Contraindications to the diet

Contraindications to the diet are diseases of the excretory system, gastrointestinal tract, metabolic disorders, mental disorders, etc.It's best to look for a less extreme way to lose weight if your medical records include:

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

In addition, the "Favorite" diet cannot 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, it is an excellent option for “shaking” the body, cleansing it of toxic substances and getting rid of excess weight.
