Diet “Favorite” - lose weight on fasting days

Fasting days are very popular (especially days on the water), because they allow you to cleanse the body of waste and toxins, implying nutrition according to a strictly established pattern.The “favorite” diet is based on the principles of such days, and strict adherence to all the rules will allow you to lose approximately 1 kg per day.

What is the essence of the diet?

The “Favorite” diet is 7, 12 or 14 fasting days, during which you are 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 be away from home for a long time, since the diet of most days causes intensification of intestinal motility and puts increased stress on the kidneys.

On the one hand, the result is explained by a significant calorie deficit in the diet menu.On the other hand, weight loss is facilitated by a daily complete change of 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, since it has to not only function in a mode of severe resource limitation, but also readjust to a new type of nutrition every day.It is due to this that the weight loss effect is provoked.

Diet plan "Favorite" for 7 days

If you have chosen a 7-day favorite diet, that is, a classic and gentle version, follow the following nutrition schedule:

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

Hunger can only be satisfied with liquid food, but in any quantity.The absence of restrictions primarily applies to still 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 - vegetable

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

You can eat salads from fresh vegetables, seasoned with lemon juice and even vegetable oil (up to 2 tablespoons per day).All dishes are allowed to be flavored with a certain amount of natural spices, but salt should not be added.

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

Day 4 – fruity

Your 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 fruits that are in season rather than those brought from another country.Monitor your body's reaction - if you feel unwell, for example, from bitter grapefruit, choose another fruit.Remember about the drinking regime.

Day 5 - protein

You will finally feel full!Try not to pounce on 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 whites), 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, oven-cooked.A sample menu is:

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

And don’t forget about one and a half liters 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 diets for 7 days.

“Favorite” diet for 12 days

Initially, the “Favorite” diet was designed for a week, but it was quickly supplemented with expanded options.So, if 7 days is not enough for you, try a 12-day analogue of this diet.Network “nutritionists” came up with two options for continuation:

First option:

• 7th day- not a way out of the diet, as with the weekly scheme, but a hard unloading on mineral water.
• 8th day— vegetable (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 low-fat.
• 10th day- protein.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 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 kefir days.Low-fat kefir in any quantity.
2. Three apple days.Any apples and in any quantities, raw and/or baked.
3. Three protein days.Chicken fillet prepared using dietary methods without salt and spices.Carefully!This is a very big load on the kidneys.You can and should drink water.
4. Three wine and cheese days.Each meal is 150 ml of wine and 30 g of cheese.The number of such snacks is limited only by your tolerance for alcohol.Apparently, after such a severe weight loss over the previous nine days, it is possible to withstand another three only in a state of permanent intoxication.

Non-drinkers can replace wine with grape or pomegranate juice.It is recommended only if the acidity of gastric juice is not increased.

Diet “Favorite” 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 in a row.Due to the special duration of dietary restrictions, it is worth expanding drinking days with compotes, fruit drinks, jelly and milkshakes with fruit, but without sugar.

On drinking days, some also drink coffee (no more than a cup a day without sugar), fruit and vegetable smoothies and so-called green cocktails, which are prepared with a large amount of greens, water and one or two fruits.There are options for protein days 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 yourself, making it somewhat gentle.

General recommendations

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

1. Don't try to combine your favorite diet with intense training.Her very meager diet will not provide your body with the amount of energy that is necessary for full training.Therefore, the effectiveness of fitness will be extremely low, but the likelihood of getting injured will increase significantly.Just rest.
2. Drinking enough water on 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 the gastric juice, which leads to disruption of the digestion process.Drink half an hour before meals and no earlier than an hour after.Try to drink small doses throughout the day (up to 50 ml).
3. In order for the results of the “Favorite” diet to last for a long time, eat similarly to the seventh day of the scheme for another week.Try to keep in your practice such healthy eating habits as cooking, baking and steaming, limiting salt and sugar, and eating in moderation.

Diet “Favorite”: 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 of this is excess fat.A large part 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 65 kg, do not expect to lose ten pounds in 2 weeks; most likely, you will 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. You are better off looking 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 overeating.

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 “favorite” diet is quite strict, so if you have no contraindications, prepare yourself psychologically for a strict diet.At the same time, this is an excellent option to give the body a “shake-up”, cleansing it of toxic substances and removing excess weight.
