What should I eat to lose weight? Water diet gives to this question is short and succinct answer: there can not be anything at all. You can only drink. Strange, strange, unconventional? Yes, of course. But very effective: in the past month, you can diet to lose a few kilograms and centimeters in the waist. And what is most interesting, with no fasting is necessary.

The principle of the diet

Virtually all existing today diet anyway restrict the diet and have a list of banned products. But in addition to these lists, there are lists of acceptable and even recommended dishes. The only diet that forbids anything there at all - drinking diet. Menu slimming thus can not include any meat or cereals, or even useful vegetables or fruit.

Initially drinking diet was created for those who survived the surgery on the stomach. Complete exclusion from the diet of solid food allows you to spare the digestive organs, and at the same time and organize their work. Side Effects - cleansing the body Cleansing the body - comprehensive restoration   and getting rid of the extra kilos diet made popular not only among those who had to go through surgery. Today, drinking diet is primarily used as an effective tool for weight loss.

What can be drinking on a diet?

The ban on the use of solid food, many accept without enthusiasm: really have to starve? But drinking diet differs from starvation in that the drink can not only water, but other liquids. It is important, however, that the neglect of water at the same time is impossible: it is necessary to use not less than one and a half liters a day. The rest of the drinks should be drunk in moderation, no more than two hundred milliliters at a time.

The diet can (and should, especially if the diet is designed for the long term) to make the most diverse. You can eat a variety of fruit and vegetable juices, herbal teas cereals, low-fat dairy products and milk, broths and decoctions of dried fruits and vegetables. Can drink teas (including herbal) and occasionally - and coffee or cocoa. Admitted liquid soups and even milkshakes from skim milk.

Not all liquids are allowed. Have to give up alcohol. Stewed fruit, juices and fruit drinks with sugar, too, should be postponed until the time when the diet is over. Carbonated and energy drinks are not allowed. Fatty beverages (eg, cream) you can allow yourself no more than once a week.

Dates

Drinking diet for 30 days - the most common. It is believed that during this time the body is completely cleansed in weight will take forever. However, the first results are already visible on the second day exclusion from the diet of solid food, so drinking diet for 3 days also has its fans.

Those who want to help lose weight drinking diet for three days, you need to limit yourself. Not allowed no salt, no sugar, no fat. From drinks should be preferred unsweetened juice (ideally - vegetables, and freshly squeezed), and one percent of yogurt. Bouillon - low-fat only. Cocoa - only once a day and only in water or skim milk.

Drinking diet for a week allows "small pleasures" like cocoa milk drinks with the addition of honey or puree soup. Of course, abuse such dishes should not be, or drinking diet for 7 days only contribute to weight gain. But once a day can afford cup fatty or sweet (honey and not sugar) beverage.

Those who are not too fast, but still not ready to give up long accustomed food fit drinking diet for 10 days or two weeks. The diet of such a diet is not fundamentally different from the weekly diet.

The best results can boast of those who are willing to eat only liquids for 3-4 weeks. During this time, you can lose up to fifteen kilograms, and will leave not only water but also fat. How useful is the rapid weight loss - a separate issue, but many choose drinking diet for 30 days just for its effectiveness.

Output from drinking diet

Therefore it is better to enter into the diet of new foods gradually, first giving preference to semi-liquid, and only then - hard.
