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 withstand this difficult marathon and achieve a guaranteed effect in a certain way.
- Thorough cleaning.On the eve of the 1st day of the "favorite diet" it is necessary to cleanse the intestinal tract with an enema or special laxatives. This is done to eliminate toxins which, in accordance with the following dietary restrictions, can stagnate in the body and worsen well-being.
- Don't be an amateur. . . All permitted foods must be consumed strictly in the sequence prescribed by the program. It is impossible to interchange diets with daily ones.
- Vitamin support.With the help of these methods of losing weight, the body especially needs support. Therefore, it is recommended to take vitamin and mineral enrichment complexes. In this case, it is better to start a few weeks before the diet, do not give up on time and take the pills until the end of the course.
- Internal stop.The diet does not impose critical calories or serving volume limits. But you can't afford to overeat. Better to leave the contents of the plate when you are still a little hungry. Listen to your feelings - the body will give a sign of your norm. In particular, the arrest rule applies to alcoholic diets. There are many "favorite diets" where only wine and cheese are allowed for one day. This doesn't mean you have to start celebrating the "plumb line" in the morning. This underlines the orientation of the discharge of the days and the fact that losing weight in the evening can be a bit relaxing.
- Save energy.Physical activity is usually important when 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 training in the gym on such a diet is simply impossible. But daily airplane rides will come in handy. The advantage is that this diet is inexpensive. It is not necessary to spend a lot on shopping. There is another way to save money: it requires minimal cooking time. After all, there are no complicated recipes for food - all raw or store-made.

Exit from the diet

The point of view of professionals
Doctors have special opinions on diets. Let's consider a number of main reasons and reasons:
- An unbalanced diet slows down the metabolism, exacerbates all acquired diseases and is the reason for the appearance of new diseases.
- Digestion, hormones, skin and muscle tone, condition of teeth, bones and joints, blood circulation, sebaceous glands are impaired.
- 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 been sharpened, the body not only breaks down 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 feel free and you will feel even weaker. Dietary restrictions are stressful to the body.
In the version of your favorite diet, this stress lasts for a week. Therefore, people feel depressed, exhausted. Brain activity decreases. In this regard, he speaks of forgetfulness, distraction, dizziness, disgusting sleep. Blood sugar drops sharply. Appetite rises, mood worsens. All of this increases the risk of "collapse" when people can't stand it and throw themselves into junk food. As a result, they still gain enormous weight when compared before and after.
Therefore, such a diet is always harshly criticized. No competent nutritionist will recommend a diet that guarantees the elimination of large quantities in a short amount of time. As a result, you get not harmony, but a whole complex of diseases.
