The idea to replace the water, food or a part, of course, nothing new and nothing miraculous in it. However, the correct use of water for weight loss gives positive results. But the aquatic diet (as well as any other diet) should be treated calmly, without expecting from it sverhdostizheny.

The main provisions of the water diet

Water is vital to the human body. It is part of every cell involved in metabolism Metabolism: The basis of life of all living things   (Without water could not pass the biochemical processes that make up the metabolism), it displays the body of all the toxins and metabolic products. But use of too much water can be harmful to the organism.

The essence of the water diet

All water diet is based on the fact that drunk before eating water partially fills the stomach and dilutes the gastric juice, so when a person eats less food. Such a diet can not go too Polga, since due to lower amounts of digestive juices to digest food properly. This may result in dysbiosis Dysbacteriosis - what brings self   - Too much reproduction of conditionally pathogenic microflora in the intestines, which will inhibit the development of beneficial microflora. This will not only suffer digestion in the stomach, but throughout the gastrointestinal tract. But for three weeks (it is so much going on water diet) nothing bad will happen.

The rationale for the increased daily water consumption is that our brains hunger and thirst center is located in the same place, so people often confuse hunger and thirst, that is, eating when he is really thirsty.

In accordance with the provisions of the water diet before each meal (half an hour before eating) need to drink water How to drink water to lose weight : Before breakfast - a glass before dinner - two glasses before dinner - three glasses. Recommendation absolutely irrational. What to drink from two - three glasses? It will only lead to a stretching of the stomach and increase appetite.

The recommended daily amount of water is also no place in reasonable limits:   the number of kilograms should be divided into twenty. So, if a person's weight is equal to fifty kilograms, he should drink two and a half liters of water (this is just fine). But if the weight is equal to ninety or one hundred kilograms (and lose weight because fat people), it is already required to drink four or five and a half liters. Imagine what would happen to the circulatory system after such a load. But many overweight people suffer from diseases of the heart and blood vessels. At the same time anywhere in the diet does not say that you need to limit salty foods, as they attract and retain water in the body. On the contrary, clearly written, eat what you want.

Pitfalls water diet

And the other end of the stick if every day to drink plenty of water and limit the intake of salt, it will be together with the water from the body flush out all useful salts. If such a diet will sit people after forty - forty-five (at this age, the amount of calcium in the bones begins to decline, the leaching of calcium from the bone can lead to bone fractures, disrupt dental health. People with heart disease may also worsen the condition of -this that cleaned up from the body potassium and magnesium salts.

That is why water diet requires revision.

Revised water diet

Of course, it makes no sense to drink a row three glasses of water, would be correct to eat 6 times a day, while drinking a glass of water. Water is also allowed to drink two hours after a meal that can also be done.

There is no need to drink a day for five - six liters of water, it will only worsen the state of health and did not affect weight. You can slightly increase the rate of drinking a day for two and a half - three liters regardless of weight. While heat can drink a little more. Do not take water during meals, as this would further dilute the contents of the stomach and the food goes into the gut undigested.

Dietary restrictions

Of course, such an aqueous diet requires additional dietary restrictions. Do not eat salty foods. In addition, if a person constantly eats fat fried meat, sweets and sugary carbonated water, then no water will not help him to lose weight, these products should be excluded. One should not drink strong tea or coffee (they stimulate appetite and narrow the blood vessels, and they are already working at maximum).

Finally, the water must be purified, then it is easier excreted. To make up for the loss of essential minerals - potassium and magnesium (they can potentially cause problems with the cardiovascular system) can be on a diet or taking asparkam Pananginum Panangin: macro for the heart   - Preparations, which contain these minerals.

More than three weeks of an increased amount of water to use is not necessary. After the diet is a course of vitamin therapy in the form of vitamin and mineral complex.

Thus, if a water diet to treat the mind, it may well benefit.
