Water diet. Menu for 3 days, a week, photos, comments and results

The water diet is based on special principles and its rules allow you to consume foods that are strictly prohibited in other weight loss diets. According to reviews of people following this diet, it is much easier to follow it. Furthermore, it also allows you to improve the general condition of the body and the results are no different from other diets.

Essence and basic principles

The water diet is based on the effect of water on the human body. Your mainthe principle is that drinking water fills the stomach and a large amount of food does not get there. Therefore, to lose weight using this method, before each meal, half an hour before, you should drink 1 glass of liquid. In this case, after eating it is necessary to abstain from water for at least 120 minutes.

This is necessary so that digestion occurs faster due to the release of gastric juice, while the entry of liquid into the stomach will slow down this process. This will also ease the feeling of heaviness in your digestive tract.

It is of fundamental importance that meals are not mixed with water,In other words, after drinking water, at least 20 minutes must pass before eating. It should also be remembered that drinking any other liquid, juice, tea or coffee, is considered a complete meal.

Water in this diet cannot be replaced by anything else. Following the basic principles of the diet will allow you to lose weight in a few weeks, and the result will be more noticeable if you are very overweight.

The water diet was developed by several nutritionists and tested on a group of individuals. According to the results of the study, it was found that following the rules of this diet guarantees the elimination of excess weight. However, to get the maximum effect, you must follow some dietary restrictions.

In addition, there are contraindications to using a water diet, which you need to familiarize yourself with so as not to cause harm to the body. The use of such restrictions is especially dangerous for people suffering from pathologies of the excretory system, as well as during pregnancy and lactation.

The water diet is based on the following principles:

1. Metabolic processes in the body can be accelerated by drinking 1 glass of water before meals. This helps to increase the rate of burning accumulated fat.
2. Ordinary still water has 0 calorie content, while at the same time it alleviates the feeling of hunger well.
3. The water diet technique helps to normalize the functioning of the digestive system and other functioning systems of the body. In turn, the proper functioning of the body improves the condition of the skin.
4. Still water helps improve human performance due to its tonic properties.

Thus, thanks to the general principles of the water diet, a person not only gets rid of extra pounds, but also heals his body and improves his appearance.

Indications for use

The water diet, reviews of which say that it helps to lose up to 10 kg per month, is not intended only for weight loss. In addition, its observance helps to slow down the aging of the body, thereforeThis diet is recommended for those who suffer from "dryness" of the body,which refers to age-related fluid deficiency.

With age, the part of the brain responsible for the sensation of thirst begins to send and process signals more slowly, causing the amount of water consumed to decrease. For this reason, water deficiency begins to develop in the body, which in turn causes weakness and dryness of the organs and skin.

You can determine the need to follow a water diet in the following way: you need to go to the mirror and, in any place where there are no wrinkles, try to gather your skin into a fold. If the fold comes together easily and forms wrinkles, we can conclude that the skin is dehydrated.

Furthermore, after the fold is released, the skin will slowly return to its previous shape and a slowly passing mark will remain. If the described results were obtained during the experiment, then a water diet should be used to restore the moisture level in the body.

Also, following a water diet, you can get rid of excess weight. However, it is worth considering that losing a small amount of kilos is much more difficult. Therefore, if you have 2-3 extra kilograms, it is better to choose a different diet, while this diet and drinking regimen will help get rid of 10 kg.

Consolidate the result

The water diet, reviews of which speak of good results in weight loss, as well as others, needs an adequate way out, as it can consolidate the result. Different types of water diets have different output methods.

After this diet, which only involves the intake of large amounts of liquids and permitted foods, you need to go out, gradually expanding your diet. You need to return to your normal menu within the same period of time that you followed the diet.

There is also a mono-water diet, which involves drinking only liquids for several days.It can be called fasting. It is more difficult to abandon this diet, because the body adapts to it and rebuilds the metabolic process. The longer this diet is followed, the more careful you will need to approach stopping it.

After a 48-hour fast, you need to go outside for 4 days. In this case, the body has not yet had time to rebuild itself and it will not be difficult to stop the diet. It is necessary to gradually include in your diet, first squeezed juices, then fruits and vegetables, milk, cottage cheese, sour cream, and after 4 days you can start eating normal food.

When fasting for more than 3 days, the body already has time to begin rebuilding itself and receiving the necessary nutrients from its internal reserves, which may result in inadequate functioning of the digestive system. To get out of this state, it takes at least 10 days to normalize the functioning of the internal organs.

Every day you need to add foods to your diet in the following order:

1. Fresh juice.
2. Raw carrot and white cabbage salad.
3. Vegetable stew.
4. Fermented dairy products.
5. Cereal porridge cooked in milk or water.
6. Lean meats (you can cook them by steaming, in the oven or on the grill).

From the 7th day of launch, you can combine all permitted products, and after 3 days return to normal food. Furthermore, when leaving the diet, it is not recommended to carry out intense physical activity, instead you can do light warm-ups or exercises. Following these rules will help you complete the diet correctly, thus ensuring your results.

When to expect an effect

Reviews about the water diet promise quick results, but it all depends on the individual characteristics of the body.

The effect of following the rules of this diet depends on several factors:

• starting weight;
• the number of kilograms you need to get rid of;
• metabolic characteristics.

Those who need to lose more lose weight better.If a person has 1 to 3 extra kilos, it is better to abandon the water diet completely, as it will not bring results. You can lose 5 to 10 kg in 30 to 60 days and more than 10 kg in 25 to 30 days.

However, it is worth remembering that it is not possible to follow this diet for more than a month.therefore, to obtain the desired effect, it will be necessary to start it several times. After a month of drinking liquids, you should abandon the diet and take a break for 30 to 40 days and then start again. This is necessary in order not to harm health by overloading the excretory system.

A water diet can relieve a person of excess weight without forcing him to comply with strict restrictions. However, it still has rules, compliance with which will help improve the effect of losing weight and will not harm the health of the body.

This technique also has contraindications, so before following the drinking regime, you need to read the reviews and consult a nutritionist.
