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

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

Substance and basic principles

Water nutrition is based on the effect of water on the human body. Her mainthe principle is that drinking water fills the stomach and a large amount of food will not enter 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 you should refrain from water for at least 120 minutes.

This is necessary so that digestion occurs faster due to the release of gastric fluid, while the entry of fluid into the stomach will slow down this process. This will also relieve the feeling of heaviness in the digestive system.

It is fundamentally important that meals are not mixed with water,i. e. after drinking water it is necessary to wait at least 20 minutes before eating. We should also remember that drinking any other liquid, juice, tea or coffee, is considered a full meal.

Water in such a diet cannot be replaced with anything else. Adherence to 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 have a lot of extra pounds.

The water diet was developed by several nutritionists and tested on a group of people. According to the results of the study, it was found that following the rules of such a diet guarantees getting rid of excess weight. However, to get the maximum effect, you must adhere to certain 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.

Water nutrition 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 burning rate of stored fat.
2. Ordinary water without gas has a caloric content of 0, while 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 adequate functioning of the body improves the condition of the skin.
4. Stagnant 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 it helps you lose up to 10 pounds a month, isn't just for weight loss. Also, following it helps in slowing down the aging of the body, thereforeThis diet is recommended for those who suffer from "drying" of the body,which refers to age-related fluid deficiency.

With age, the part of the brain responsible for the feeling of thirst begins to send and process signals more slowly, so the amount of water taken in becomes less. For this reason, water deficiency begins to develop in the body, which in turn causes weakness and dryness of organs and skin.

You can determine the need to follow a water diet as follows: you need to go to the mirror and, in any place where there are no wrinkles, try to collect the skin in a fold. If the fold joins easily and forms wrinkles, we can conclude that the skin is dehydrated.

Also, after the fold is released, the skin will slowly return to its previous shape and a mark will remain that slowly passes. If the described results were obtained during the experiment, then you should use a water diet to restore the level of moisture in the body.

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

Helpful tips

Maintaining a water diet requires not only the correct output, but also the correct intake.

To prepare for this type of weight loss, you must exclude the following from your diet 10 days before starting the diet:

• fattening foods?
• canned foods;

1 day before starting the diet, it is necessary to cleanse the body of toxins and other harmful substances that can cause negative consequences, such as rashes, feeling nauseous or feeling weak during fasting.

There are 2 cleaning options:

• enema;
• fasting day.

The first option is preferable, however, if it is unacceptable, you can use the second. During the fasting day, you must stop eating any food, you are allowed to drink only 1500 ml of kefir during the day. Kefir must be low-fat and contain no aromatic additives.

Kefir can be replaced with buckwheat. To prepare it, you need to pour boiling water over the cereal in a ratio of 1 to 2 and leave it overnight. Salt and spices cannot be added. During the day, you can drink water or green tea without sweeteners. Drinking large amounts of water out of habit is very difficult, so here are some tips to help make the diet easier.

Advice:

• every morning you need to drink 1 glass of water, if it is difficult to do it, you can add a few drops of lemon or orange juice, squeezed directly from the fruit.

• For water, it is better to use a beautiful red glass; psychologists believe that this, on a subconscious level, convinces of the usefulness and taste of the product being consumed.
• You can drink water through a cocktail straw, this will speed up the process and make it fun.
• You can find a motivation for drinking the daily fluid rule; such a motivation will contribute to more accurate adherence to the rules.

Also, while following a diet, it is recommended to do exercises every morning to fill the body with energy and drink vitamins. They are needed because with a large volume of fluid, many useful substances are washed out of the body and must be replenished.

Before going to bed, it is allowed to drink 1 glass of low-fat kefir to normalize the functioning of the stomach. The diet can be interrupted any day, while observing the rules for exiting it.

Consolidate the result

The water diet, reviews of which speak of good weight loss results, like others, needs a proper exit from it, because this can consolidate the result. Different types of water diets have different exit methods.

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

There is also a water mono-diet, which involves only drinking liquids for several days.It can be called fasting. It is more difficult to leave such a diet, because the body adapts to such a diet and rebuilds the metabolic process. The longer such a diet is followed, the more carefully you should approach its termination.

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

When you fast for more than 3 days, the body already has time to start rebuilding itself and get the necessary nutrients from its internal reserves, so the functioning of the digestive system may be insufficient. It takes at least 10 days to get out of this state in order to normalize the functioning of the internal organs.

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

1. Fresh juice.
2. Raw carrot and white cabbage salad.
3. vegetable stew.
4. Fermented milk products.
5. Cereal porridges cooked in milk or water.
6. Lean meats (you can steam, oven or grill them).

Starting from the 7th day of release, you can combine all the allowed products and after 3 days return to your normal diet. Also, when leaving the diet, intense physical activity is not recommended, you can do light warm-up or exercise. Following these rules will help you complete the diet correctly, thus ensuring its results.

When to expect result

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

The result of following the rules of such a diet depends on several factors:

• initial weight;
• the number of kilos you need to lose.
• metabolic characteristics.

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

However, it is worth remembering that you cannot follow such a diet for more than a month.Therefore, to achieve the desired result, you should start it several times. After a month of drinking liquids, you should stop the diet and take a break for 30-40 days and then start again. This is necessary in order not to harm your 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, the observance of which will help improve the result of losing weight and will not harm the health of the body.

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