It is so good and who is contraindicated: prepare for the summer before it's too late
In the spring, in all the offices of the country, women for lunch share secret diets that will surely help.
The main advantages of the Japanese diet for the inhabitants of our country are its relative availability and duration. No complicated and expensive ingredients, just two weeks of restrictions - and now you show off in jeans that didn't tie before. But to become a great geisha, you need to strictly follow the menu.
Briefly about the main
The duration of the diet is 14 days. This is a low-calorie protein menu, you can practice such feeding no more than 2 times a year. The average result of the Japanese diet is 5-8 kg in 2 weeks. This menu is not suitable for women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, with gastritis and ulcers, as well as people with liver, kidney and heart disorders. Before starting a diet, you should consult with your doctor.
Original or speculation?
There will be no exotic - all products allowed in the Japanese diet have been familiar to us for a long time. This is a decisive advantage, because the risk of allergies is minimized and the ingredients needed for cooking can be purchased in any supermarket.
It is not known exactly why this diet is called Japanese. According to some sources it was invented in a Tokyo clinic, according to others the name was inspired by the simplicity and clear planning of the diet, as a result of which it gives the expected stimulating result (very in the Japanese way: act by the rules, try the your best and you will be rewarded).
The Japanese diet is widespread all over the world, it is characterized by moderation in the composition and caloric content of allowed foods, this also makes it related to the traditional diet of the Far East. Japanese nutritionist Naomi Moriyama is confident that the youth and longevity of her compatriots allow them to keep a relatively small amount of carbohydrates in their daily menu and small portions.
According to Moriyama, the Japanese consume on average 25% fewer calories than the inhabitants of any other country. In Japan, for example, it is not customary to eat chips, chocolate, sweets, and generally the Japanese learned about butter only at the beginning of the 20th century from Europeans and still treat it with suspicion. That is, the choice of healthy foods in moderation is a national feature of the culture of Japan. And the Japanese diet for 14 days fully meets this requirement, despite formal differences with the usual diet of ordinary inhabitants of the Pacific state.
"Samurai" rules of the Japanese diet
The main satiating substance in the diet is protein obtained from hen's eggs, chicken, beef, fish and dairy products. Carbohydrates are present in crackers and some of the allowed vegetables, fats are in olive oil, which can be used for cooking and salad dressing, as well as in meat and fish.
Fiber is found in abundance in fruits and vegetables, the amount of which is not even regulated on certain days of the diet, so the stomach will most likely do its job well. Coffee and green tea not only give you energy, but also contain healthy antioxidants (this is why it is important to choose high quality tea and coffee, always natural, without flavorings and additives).
However, such a diet cannot yet be called balanced, and following it for more than two weeks is dangerous to health. But even in these 14 days, your body may respond poorly to a reduction in the amount of carbohydrates on the menu - in this case you will feel muscle aches, weakness and headaches. Then it is necessary to safely abandon the strict menu and consult a doctor.
The consumption regimen of the Japanese diet is particularly important. Drink plenty of pure non-carbonated water at room temperature to not only help your stomach feel full, but also to ensure the elimination of processed animal proteins.
The main condition for the success of the Japanese diet is strict adherence to its plan. You cannot confuse days and, at will, replace one product with another, even a similar one. The only exception may be, perhaps, only morning coffee - it can be replaced with a cup of unsweetened green tea. It is advisable to refuse salt for the entire duration of the diet, but if this prohibition is critical to the taste buds, add salt to the food to a minimum.
A small number of meals a day (only three instead of the healthiest 5-6) and no snacking can also be difficult on the Japanese diet, be prepared for this. Eat dinner at least a couple of hours before bedtime and start the morning with a glass of water on an empty stomach: it's good for your metabolism and allows you to better tolerate the lack of breakfast.
Since the Japanese diet is strict, it is highly undesirable to enter it from the bay. If you decide to lose weight with such a menu, prepare yourself psychologically and prepare your body, at least a few days before the start of the diet, giving up sweets, fast food and reducing the usual portions.

Menu for the most resistant
The composition of the Japanese diet is often compared to the "chemical diet", a food plan invented by the American doctor Osama Hamdiy to treat obesity in diabetics. Like the Hamdia diet, the Japanese diet takes advantage of the effect of dramatically reducing carbohydrate intake by increasing protein. As a result, the chemistry of the body's metabolic processes is rebuilt, the accumulated fat burns quickly, and the strengthened muscles prevent the formation of new ones.

Fast doesn't mean good
It should be noted that among experts there is also an opinion that diets that have a name very often do not work or even harm. Endocrinologist and nutritionist Irina Tatarnikova says weight loss should be gradual and that cardinal low calorie nutrition in itself leads to breakdowns and can even cause depression. The fact is that a person begins to berate himself for weakness, but in reality her diet was simply unbalanced.
"Here, diets with an extremely low number of calories are used, hunger, for which a person is not ready. Therefore, extreme methods are effective only in the initial stage, but then there will be a breakdown and the weight will return with a vengeance. , says the expert.
The nutritionist also clarifies that for most people, long breaks between main meals, such as skipping breakfast, will lead to overeating at dinner.
- Do not try to lose weight - in general, you need to forget this sentence, because try - from the word "torture" and lose weight - from the word "bad". By saying this, we are not preparing for positive weight loss, concludes the nutritionist. Irina advises to think that by limiting ourselves without fanaticism, we make ourselves healthier first of all.
