“Favorite” diet – lose weight on fasting days

Fasting days are very popular (especially water days), as they allow you to cleanse the body of waste and toxins, implying nutrition according to a strictly established pattern.The “preferred” 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 “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 advisable to free yourself from any serious matters during the test and not stay outside for a long time, as the diet most days causes intensification of intestinal motility and increases stress on the kidneys.

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 sets in.

For the body, the “Favorite” diet is stressful, as it has to not only function in a severely resource-limited mode, but also readjust to a new type of nutrition every day.This is why the weight loss effect is caused.

"Favorite" diet plan for 7 days

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

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

Hunger can only be satisfied with liquid food, but in any quantity.The absence of restrictions applies mainly to still water, tea without sweeteners and low-fat kefir.You can also use salt-free broth and seasonings, as well as freshly squeezed fruits, fruit and vegetable juices.Preference should be given to vegetables, and it is advisable to limit daily intake to two glasses.

2nd day - vegetable

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

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 seasonings, but salt should not be added.

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

His 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 seasonal fruits instead of those brought in from another country.Monitor your body's reaction - if you feel unwell, for example because of a bitter grapefruit, choose another fruit.Remember the drinking regime.

Day 5 - protein

You will finally feel satisfied!Try not to attack food, but eat slowly, in small portions, but often - 6-7 times a day.You can taste 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 on your “Favorite” diet on different days.Still without salt and fatty sauces, steamed, grilled, baked in the oven.An example menu is:

• In the morning:2 eggs.
• Snack:kefir or low-fat yogurt, cottage cheese.
• During the day:low-fat chicken soup and vegetables.
• Snack:some apples.
• At night:vegetable salad.

And don't forget the one and a half liters of water you need to 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 “Favorite” diet was designed for one week, but it was quickly supplemented with expanded options.So, if 7 days are not enough for you, try a 12-day analogue of this diet.The network’s “nutritionists” presented two continuation options:

First option:

• 7th day- not a departure from the diet, as with the weekly scheme, but a strong flush of mineral water.
• 8th day— vegetables (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 with low fat content.
• 10th day- protein.Follow all recommendations for the 5th protein day.
• 11th day- exclusively with 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 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 of kefir.Low-fat kefir in any quantity.
2. Three days of apples.Any apples and in any quantity, raw and/or roasted.
3. Three days of protein.Chicken fillet prepared according to dietary methods, without salt and seasonings.Carefully!This is a very big load on the kidneys.You can and should drink water.
4. Three days of wine and cheese.Each meal contains 150 ml of wine and 30 g of cheese.The number of these snacks is limited only by your alcohol tolerance.Apparently, after such severe weight loss in the previous nine days, it is only possible to endure three more in a state of permanent intoxication.

Those who don't drink can replace the wine with grape or pomegranate juice.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 seven-day diets described above.Due to the special duration of dietary restrictions, it is worth extending the days of consumption with compotes, fruit juices, jellies and milkshakes with fruit, but without sugar.

On drinking days, there are those who 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 a large amount of vegetables, water and one or two fruits.There are protein day options only on chicken breast.And some recommendations do not exclude potatoes on vegetable day.

So you can adapt your “Favorite” diet for 14 days to suit you, making it somewhat gentle.

General recommendations

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

1. Don't try to combine your favorite diet with intense training.Your very meager diet will not provide your body with the amount of energy necessary for full training.Therefore, the effectiveness of fitness will be extremely low, but the likelihood of injury will increase significantly.Just rest.
2. Drinking plenty of water while on a diet is very important, but it is equally important to drink it 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 later.Try to drink 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 the same way as on the seventh day of the scheme for another week.Try to maintain healthy eating habits such as cooking, baking and steaming, limiting salt and sugar, and eating in moderation.

“Favorite” diet: results

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

But you must understand that not all of this is excess fat.A big part of weight loss with such rapid weight loss is fluid and muscle mass.Furthermore, impressive results are only possible with impressive surpluses.If you weigh 65 kg, don't expect to lose five pounds in 2 weeks;you will probably get rid of 2 to 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 record contains:

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

Also, 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 from it.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, it is an excellent option for giving the body a “shake-up”, cleansing it of toxic substances and eliminating excess weight.
