Fasting days are very popular (especially water days) because they allow you to cleanse the body of waste and toxins, which implies eating 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 days of fasting, during which it is allowed to consume limited amounts of the same type of food according to a strictly regulated scheme.It is recommended to get rid of any serious problems during the test and not to be away from home for a long time, since the diet on most days leads to increased intestinal motility and increases the load 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 immediately starting another.
For the body, the "Favorite" diet is stressful, because it must not only function in a mode of severe resource limitation, but also readjust to a new type of nutrition every day.It is on this that the weight loss effect is provoked.
Diet "Favorite" for 7 days
If you have chosen a 7-day favorite diet, that is, a classic and sparing version, follow the following feeding scheme:
1st, 3rd and 6th day - liquids or drinks
Hunger can be satisfied only with liquid food, but in any quantity.The lack of restrictions applies mainly 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 plant-based foods, and it is recommended to limit their daily intake to two glasses.
Day 2 - vegetable
All types of vegetables (without potatoes), especially green - all types of cabbage, zucchini, cucumbers, radishes and radishes, you can also eggplants and tomatoes.You can steam, boil, roast vegetables, but don't 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 no salt should be added.
In total, it is allowed to eat 1.5-2 kg of vegetables per day, dividing them into 5 portions.You should also drink 1.5 liters of pure still water.
Day 4 – fruit
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 ultimate weight-loss fruit, grapefruit.
Try to eat fruits that are in season, not those brought from another country.Monitor your body's reaction - if you feel bad, for example, from bitter grapefruit, choose another fruit.Do not forget about the drinking regime.
Day 5 - protein
You will finally feel full!Try not to rush on food, but eat slowly, in small portions, but often - 6-7 times a day.You can enjoy chicken fillet dishes without skin and fat, sea fish and seafood, eat eggs (preferably only white), low-fat cottage cheese.Without sauces, spices, salt.Water, as before - 1.5 liters per day.
Day 7 - Final
Eat moderately and properly by eating all the foods you ate from your "Favorite" diet on different days.And without salt and fatty sauces, steamed, grilled, in the oven.An example 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:some apples.
- in the evening:vegetable salad.
And do not forget about one and a half liters of water that you should 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
The Favorite diet was originally intended for one week, but 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 in the weekly scheme, but a heavy unloading of mineral water.
- 8th day— vegetables (you can eat vegetables in any form as described in the seven-day diet recommendations above).
- 9th day- kefir.You can drink it in unlimited quantities, but only with a low fat content.
- 10th day- proteins.Follow all the recommendations on the 5th protein day.
- 11 days- exclusively on green tea.
- 12th day- exiting the diet, similar to the last day in the seven-day variant.At the same time, it is worth replenishing the vitamin balance of the body with fruits.
Second option:
The second option involves dividing the entire 12-day period into four three-day monodiets:
- Three days of kefir.Low-fat kefir in any quantity.
- Three apple days.Any apples and in any quantity, raw and/or baked.
- Three protein days.Chicken fillet, prepared in a dietary way without salt and spices.Careful!This is a very heavy load on the kidneys.You can and should drink water.
- Three days of wine and cheese.Each meal is 150 ml of wine and 30 g of cheese.The number of these snacks is only limited by your alcohol tolerance.Apparently, after such a severe loss of weight in the previous nine days, it is only possible to last another three in a state of permanent intoxication.
Non-drinkers can replace the wine with grape or pomegranate juice. It is recommended only if the acidity of the gastric juice is not increased.
"Favorite" diet for 14 days
The beloved 2-week diet does not offer a particularly original diet like the wine days (or the wine diet).These are simply the two consecutive seven-day diets described above.Due to the special duration of dietary restrictions, it is worth extending the 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 made with lots of leafy greens, water and a fruit or two.There are options for protein days of chicken breast only.And some recommendations do not exclude potatoes on vegetable day.
So you can adapt your "Favorite" diet for 14 days according to your needs, making it somewhat gentle.
General recommendations
Regardless of your meal plan - 7, 12 or 14 days - listen to the following recommendations:
- Do not try to combine your favorite diet with intense training.Her very meager diet will not provide your body with the amount of energy it needs to fully train.Therefore, the effectiveness of the gym will be extremely low, but the probability of injury will increase significantly.Just rest.
- Drinking enough water while dieting is very important, but it is equally important to drink properly.You should not drink water during or immediately after a meal, as in this case it dilutes the gastric juice, which leads to disruption of the digestive process.Drink half an hour before a meal and no earlier than an hour after.Try to drink small doses throughout the day (up to 50 ml).
- To preserve the results of the "Lubima" diet for a long time, eat similarly to the seventh day of the scheme for another week.Try to maintain in your practice healthy eating habits such as cooking, baking and stewing, limiting salt and sugar and eating in moderation.
Diet "Favorite": results
Supporters of the "Lubima" diet talk about truly unique results: from 5 to 10 kg in 14 days.There are cases when with the help of this diet they lost 14-16 kg in two weeks.
But you need to understand that not all of this is excess fat.Much of the weight loss in such rapid weight loss is fluid and muscle mass.Moreover, impressive results are possible only with impressive excesses.
If you weigh 65 kg, don't expect to lose ten pounds in 2 weeks;you will most likely get rid of 2-4 kg:
Diet contraindications
Contraindications for the diet are diseases of the excretory system, gastrointestinal tract, metabolic disorders, mental disorders, etc.It is better 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 overeating.
Also, the "Favorite" diet cannot be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and after an illness or during periods of increased physical activity, it is better to refrain 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 opportunity to give the body a "shake-up", cleanse it of toxic substances and remove extra pounds.
