"Favorite" diet: lose weight on fasting days

Fasting days are very popular (especially water days), because they allow you to cleanse the body of waste and toxins, implying nutrition according to a strictly established scheme.The "favorite" diet is based on the principles of these days, and strict compliance with all the rules will allow you to lose about 1 kg per day.

What is the essence of the diet?

The “Preferred” diet involves 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 schedule.It is advisable to free yourself from any serious worries during the test and not leave home for a long time, since the diet of most days causes an intensification of intestinal motility and puts the kidneys under increased stress.

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

For the body, the "Favorite" diet is stressful, since it not only has to function in a mode of severe resource limitation, but also re-adapt to a new type of nutrition every day.It is for this reason that the weight loss effect is caused.

"Favorite" diet plan for 7 days

If you have chosen the favorite 7-day diet, i.e. a classic and delicate version, follow the following nutritional program:

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

Hunger can be satisfied only with liquid foods, but in any quantity.The absence of restrictions mainly concerns 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 vegetable ones, and it is advisable to limit their daily intake to two glasses.

2nd day: vegetables

All kinds of vegetables (except potatoes), especially green ones: all kinds of cabbage, zucchini, cucumbers, radishes and radishes, you can also eggplants and tomatoes.You can steam, boil, cook 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 it is not necessary to add salt.

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

Day 4 – fruity

Your daily diet is 3 kilograms of fruit, with the exception of 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 brought from another country.Check your body's reaction: if you feel unwell, for example from bitter grapefruit, choose another fruit.Remember the alcohol consumption regime.

Day 5: Protein

You will finally feel full!Try not to rush into 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 egg whites), low-fat cottage cheese.No sauces, condiments, salt.Water, as before: 1.5 liters per day.

7th day - final

Eat moderately and properly, eating all the foods you ate in your “Favorite” diet on different days.Still without salt and fatty sauces, steamed, grilled, baked.An example menu is:

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

And don't forget about a liter and a half of water that you need to drink during the day.

You can practice the diet no more often than once every 2-3 months.You can also choose other 7 day diets.

“Favorite” diet for 12 days

Initially, the "Favorite" diet was designed for one week, but was quickly supplemented with expanded options.So, if 7 days is not enough for you, try a 12-day analogue of this diet.The "nutritionists" of the network have proposed two options for the continuation:

First option:

• 7th day- not a way out of the diet, as with the weekly scheme, but a hard discharge on 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 low-fat.
• 10th day- proteins.Follow all recommendations of the 5th protein day.
• 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 involves dividing 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 apples.Any apples and in any quantity, raw and/or cooked.
3. Three protein days.Chicken fillet prepared with dietary methods without salt and spices.Carefully!This is a very large load on the kidneys.You can and should drink water.
4. Three days of wine and cheese.Each meal contains 150ml of wine and 30g of cheese.The number of such snacks is limited only by your alcohol tolerance.Apparently, after such severe weight loss in the previous nine days, it is possible to withstand three more only in a state of permanent intoxication.

Teetotalers can replace 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 particularly original diet like the Wine Days (or the Wine Diet).These are simply the two seven-day diets detailed above below.Due to the particular duration of dietary restrictions, it is worth expanding the days of consumption with compotes, fruit drinks, jellies and milkshakes with fruit, 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, which are prepared with large amounts of vegetables, water, and one or two fruits.There are options for protein days on chicken breast only.And some recommendations do not exclude potatoes on vegetable day.

So, you can adapt your 14-day “Favorite” diet to your needs, making it a little gentler.

General recommendations

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

1. Don't try to combine your favorite diet with intense training.Your very poor 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 probability 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 correctly.You should not drink water during or immediately after meals, as 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 drinking small doses throughout the day (up to 50 ml).
3. In order for the results of the "Favorite" diet to last a long time, eat similarly to the seventh day of the scheme for another week.Try to keep healthy eating habits such as cooking, baking and steaming, limiting salt and sugar, and eating in moderation in your practice.

“Preferred” diet: results

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

But you should understand that not all this is 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 65kg, don't expect to lose ten kilos in 2 weeks;you will most likely 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 is best to look for a less extreme way to lose weight if your medical record contains:

• any kidney or liver disease;
• gastritis and colitis;
• dysfunction of the cardiovascular system;
• eating behavior anomalies;
• 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 abstain.In the next article we will talk about the rules for observing fasting days during pregnancy.

The “preferred” diet is quite strict, so if you have no contraindications, prepare yourself psychologically for a strict diet.At the same time, this is a great option for giving the body a "shake", cleansing it of toxic substances and removing excess weight.
