7 day diet - activation of metabolism or test?

Nutritionists, who offer various short diets for weight loss, justify the principle of their action in that long-term dietary intake slows down the metabolism, that is, the metabolism in the body. While time-limited diets (extreme), including the 7-day diet, accelerate metabolism and stimulate fat burning.

The essence of the 7 day diet

To reduce the volume of fat cells, you need to make the body spend the energy stored in them - triglycerides. The essence of the 7-day diet is reduced to, first, to reduce the amount of food (which in most cases is excessive), secondly, the food you use to be converted into energy (rather than to fat reserves), and third, to "unlock" available fat reserves.

The results of any diet depend on how much fat reserves turn into energy. The process of spending energy, as you know, can not pass lying on a sofa or sitting in front of a computer. Therefore, you need to move in any way that is acceptable for you: walking, cycling, swimming in the pool, jumping rope, doing household chores (for example, one hour of ironing burns the same number of calories as an hour of work on the tractor in the field).

Moreover, starvation is completely unacceptable, since it promotes the release and increase of the level of such thyroid hormone as reverse (reversible) triiodothyronine, the physiological role of which is to regulate metabolism, in particular, the accumulation of lipids (that is, fat).

What can you eat with short-term diets? These are foods that contain carbohydrates, with a moderate protein content and a low fat content. Sweet - only in the form of fruit (especially useful are apples, pears, peaches, strawberries). You can also eat foods high in vitamins C and B (chicken, lean beef, oatmeal, lentils, citrus fruits). But the unconditional favorites of such diets are vegetables!

What you can not eat, observing a weekly diet? Under the ban, fatty, floury and all high-calorie.

7 Day Drinking Diet

The juice diet or detox diet, which is often referred to as a 7-day drinking diet, plunges the body into a state of metabolic stress. This diet has a lot of restrictions: digestive tract diseases, kidneys, diabetes mellitus, etc.

It should be borne in mind: to pass this test you will need not only willpower, but also a good ... Juicer. Also, a sufficient supply of fresh fruits and vegetables is needed. It is recommended to take a few days off from work, so that temporary deterioration of well-being can be experienced in a home environment.

7 day Japanese diet

The daily menu is a 7 day diet, positioned as Japanese, although it does not include rice, but it uses another favorite product of the Japanese - fish cooked on the grill.

Another feature: 7-day Japanese diet as breakfast (except for the 5th day) recommends drinking a cup of natural black coffee. Despite the fact that in Japan coffee became popular only in the 60-70s of the last century, now the Japanese have become real fans of coffee and consider the habit of drinking coffee in the morning one of the healthiest. And it's all about the antioxidant properties of the chlorogenic and coffee acids that make up the coffee beans. Eastern medicine has recognized the ability of coffee to clean the gallbladder and protect it from the formation of stones.

So, the 7 day Japanese diet suggests on the first day to have dinner with boiled chicken eggs (2 pcs.) And a salad from one tomato with greens, and for dinner, cook on the grill or bake in foil sea fish and serve it with a garnish of any fresh vegetables.

On the second day, fish with vegetables should be for lunch, and dinner consists of 200 g of boiled meat (low-fat beef), you can drink a little yogurt or curdled milk.

Lunch on the third day of this diet includes hard boiled eggs (1 pc.) And a salad of grated carrots, seasoned with vegetable oil. Dinner consists of a couple of fresh apples.

The fourth day repeats the menu of the first day, but the breakfast of the fifth day does not involve a cup of coffee, but a carrot salad with lemon juice. Lunches and dinners of the next days represent variations of boiled eggs, baked fish or meat with vegetable salads, including cabbage with carrots and tomatoes and cucumbers. In general, normal food.
