Apple diet: varieties

There are two types of apple methods: a regular fasting day and a strict apple diet. If the first allows apples in unlimited quantities, the second limits the portion to 1.5 kg and nothing more - no food, no drink.

Fasting days are practiced once or twice a week, and so on for three months. The scheme allows you to lose weight and maintain the result, thanks to the normalization of metabolism. This regime also eliminates edema and normalizes blood pressure.

• Apple diets can vary greatly in duration: from one day to several weeks. Apples are combined with kefir, cottage cheese, porridge, other fruits and vegetables, and much more. There are too many options to list.

The classic seven-day mono-diet is considered a strict weight loss method. The amount of apples is regulated by days, the variety of the menu is achieved due to the fact that apples are useful not only whole and fresh, but also baked, in the form of puree, smoothies. By the way, the pectin of baked apples perfectly binds harmful salts and toxins, gently removing them from the body in a natural way.

Those who cannot cope with long-term diets can make do with apple fasting or combine apples with other dietary foods: yoghurts, oatmeal, green vegetables, carrots. The result, even with such a relatively gentle diet, will not take long to come.

Kefir and apple diet

The success of the kefir and apple diet is in the small amount of calories, as well as the availability of these products in any season of the year. Low-fat kefir is the best product for the digestive system, liver, kidneys. Restores impaired metabolism, removes toxins. In combination with apples, it protects the mucous membrane from the aggressive effects of acids.

Apples act in the same way, removing toxins along with excess fluid. A diet of apples combined with kefir effectively burns fat and improves the body.

• Many are tempted by the apparent ease of the apple diet with kefir and the impressive results: on average, minus a kilogram per day.

In fact, this is not an easy system, it requires good health and motivation. Diabetes, obesity, hypertension, digestive problems are contraindications for such diets.

• Options of various durations are available.

Three-day diet is appropriate when preparing for an important date or event when you need to get in shape. The first and third days are kefir. 1.5 liters of the drink are divided into five or six doses. The second day, they eat only fresh apples, also in several doses. They do not eat anything else for all three days, but they drink a lot: they drink green tea and other unsweetened drinks, pure water.

• The seven-day diet is a bit more varied. In the sense that in addition to fresh apples, baked apples, smoothies, and purees are prepared. The daily dose is 1.5 liters of kefir + 1.5 kg of apples.

The 9-day method is like a three-day method “multiplied” by three. This is the most effective diet for people who are serious about losing weight. The first and last three days are spent on kefir, and the middle of the diet is spent on apples. During this time, it is possible to lose as much as 10 kg.

Apple and Water Diet

Experts believe that the main goal of the apple and water diet is to remove toxins and waste. In addition, such a diet regulates metabolism, and as an additional benefit, it reduces weight and cleanses the skin. Even a one-day apple diet, the so-called unloading diet, can cleanse the gallbladder, optimize intestinal microflora, and increase the level of iron in the blood. Some experts advise not to throw away apple seeds, but to eat them: they contain a lot of iodine. The layer located under the hard skin of the fruit is also useful. And the maximum amount of vitamin C is in sour varieties.

• The apple diet requires mandatory water consumption – in virtually unlimited quantities, but not less than 2 liters daily.

Before starting a long-term plan, it is worth testing yourself with a one-day unloading. If the intestines do not react too violently and do not overcome fatigue, you can safely move on to 3-5-7-day versions of weight loss and cleansing on apples and water. Each of the modifications has features related to apples, but not to drinking: tea, herbal infusions, water must be drunk at least 2 liters.

If your choice is the fasting option with apples and water, then for stable weight and well-being it is recommended to practice it for three months, one or two times a week.

Green Apple Diet

Nutritionists have informed everyone who wanted to know about the effectiveness of apple diets, as soon as they themselves learned about it. And many overweight people have successfully used this information.

It has become known relatively recently that the best varieties for an apple diet are green. This was discovered by American scientists who studied the dietary properties of different varieties of apples. They also claim that a green apple diet is more effective for two reasons:

• Firstly, they contain a maximum of compounds that prevent fat deposition.
• Secondly, they perfectly regulate digestion, which is usually impaired in overweight people.

Due to these properties, the intestines are cleared of stagnant masses and filled with beneficial microorganisms. Another positive property is that green fruits do not contain allergens.

Any version of a mono-diet with green apples is considered more effective than with other fruits. But you should always remember that individual characteristics of a person play an extremely important role: weight, age, health, reaction to certain products.

• When choosing green apples for a diet course, it is important to know the other side of the question: are these fruits good for everyone?

It turns out that at least two categories of patients cannot afford to enjoy juicy green apples: those suffering from gastritis and those with gallbladder problems. Because acids and coarse fiber provoke unpleasant symptoms in such people.

Cottage cheese and apple diet

Apples are combined with other dietary products, so in addition to a pure apple diet, there are options. One of the popular options is a diet of cottage cheese and apples. Both products are useful in their own way: apples supply pectin and vitamins, cleanse and optimize the activity of the gastrointestinal tract; cottage cheese enriches with proteins: 100 g of the product is equal to one chicken breast.

• An apple diet enriched with fermented milk product is more nutritious and no less useful than a pure apple diet.

Fasting days are practiced, as well as longer diets. A common option is a nine-day diet, which allows you to lose up to 10 kg. The scheme is as follows:

• eat only apples for three days;
• the next three are only homemade cheese;
• The last days they alternate without mixing.

A serving of apples is 1.5 kg, 2% cottage cheese is 400 g. When alternating cottage cheese, take the same amount, apples are only half a kilo. Apples can be baked, juiced, pureed. Cottage cheese is eaten in its natural form.

Having achieved the result, it is necessary to maintain it. For at least two months, it is necessary to limit the caloric content of food, exclude sweets and pastries from the diet, and also regularly have fasting days. Such nutrition normalizes metabolism, improves the figure, and forms correct eating habits.

Baked Apple Diet

Baked apples are one of the most important products in many therapeutic diets. It is not surprising that in the list of apple diets, a special place is given to the baked apple diet. What are the richness of ordinary fruits, subjected to heat treatment in a microwave or oven?

• Baked apples contain a number of minerals, popular vitamins, starch, organic acids, and disaccharides.

Heat treatment reduces the usefulness somewhat, but makes apples more dietary food. And if the debates on the benefits and harms of diets on fresh apples do not subside, then baked fruits are not affected. They contain 75% water, due to which the product effectively cleanses the digestive organs, thus removing poisons and other ballast. They have a beneficial effect on blood vessels, heart, kidneys, liver, stomach, intestines, vision, teeth, skin.

• Baked fruits are recommended for expectant mothers to prevent heartburn and nausea, bloating, normalize bowel movements, and after childbirth - to strengthen hair and nails, saturate the body with useful ingredients and energy.

Dietary use for weight loss is also very effective. Methods of unloading, mono- and non-mono-diets have been created based on baked apples. They are allowed for diabetics and infants. A significant place is occupied by a healthy dessert in non-dietary diets, because apples with cottage cheese, honey, nuts are an excellent delicacy for children and adults with normal weight.

When choosing a method, you should take into account the features and time of use. In particular, apples on an empty stomach are prescribed only for medicinal purposes - to cleanse the intestines. This is due to the mild laxative effect of the dish. Not all diets have restrictions on quantity, but a reasonable portion is 5 pieces per day.

Buckwheat and apple diet

A strict apple diet is just one of the varieties of fruit methods designed for weight loss. Due to the possibility of combining apples with porridges, methods such as a buckwheat and apple diet have been developed. Rice and oatmeal are also suitable for such diets.

One version involves using steamed groats rather than boiled porridge. This is a well-known dietary method, actively used in special buckwheat weight loss methods. For the apple and buckwheat diet, a glass of the product is steamed overnight, so that the next day you can eat the porridge in three doses. Apples are eaten between buckwheat meals, 3-4 pieces each time. Both products enrich the body with iron, which is necessary to maintain immunity and hormonal balance.

• The advantages of the diet are its budget-friendliness and results: improved digestion, cleansing, and improved skin condition.

The downsides are depletion of calories, proteins and healthy fats. If you continue this diet, sooner or later the metabolic processes will slow down critically. In practice, this manifests itself in a sharp increase in appetite. A person feels the desire to eat even after the end of the diet, when the amount and caloric content of food gradually approach the norm.

Not everyone can withstand the hunger test that is typical for long-term low-calorie methods. The alternative is regular fasting days with a normal daily diet or a balanced low-calorie diet for a month or two.

Oatmeal and Apple Diet

To solve the problem of excess weight, it is not necessary to resort to exotic potions and exhausting fasts. The most common products can help with this, the apple diet is an example. And if someone is too strong for the strict regime of pure apple diets, it can be softened by including more nutritious components. The oatmeal and apple diet is exactly for such people.

Both products are useful in their own way. The fiber of oatmeal porridge swells in the stomach and suppresses the feeling of hunger, and its property to bind cholesterol is an invaluable additional effect of the diet.

• Apple fiber has the same properties, in addition, the juicy pulp supplies the body with vitamins, microelements, and natural liquid.

The diet allows cooking oatmeal or flakes not only in water, but also in milk. The daily portion is a glass of dry product, eaten in three doses. The diet is supplemented with apples in the amount of one and a half kilograms, preferably sour taste. Drinking is not limited: water, unsweetened tea. As an exception, in extreme cases, you can eat a piece of black diet bread.

This diet is followed for two weeks. The result is pleasing: the minus is from 7 to 10 kg.

Apple and egg diet

Opponents of apple diets emphasize the disadvantage that the diet is critically lacking in proteins. And this is harmful to the body. The egg and apple diet corrects this deficiency: with eggs, the body receives proteins, vitamins and fats, with fruits – carbohydrates and vitamins.

• There are several variations of the apple-egg diet. You need to choose your own taking into account the contraindications that apply to people with kidney disease and digestive problems.

The apple and egg diet is considered gentle. The simplest option is a three-day fasting diet, in which you eat 5 boiled eggs and as much fruit as you want every day. The same menu is repeated a week later. For seven days between diets, you eat a full and rational diet, with various healthy foods.

• Another light version is designed for two weeks and resembles a protein diet.

It includes citrus fruits, protein and other low-calorie foods. This is what every morning of a losing weight person starts with: 2 eggs + citrus + apple. During other meals, they eat vegetables, cottage cheese, fish, meat - in limited quantities and properly cooked. Properly means baked, boiled, stewed dishes. Additions in the form of greens and dried fruits are allowed.

In all versions, drinking plays an important role. The choice here is small and standard: water, green or herbal tea.

Dried Apple Diet

Ripe and properly dried apple slices contain more vitamins than apples that have been lying around for several months after harvest. They are available at any time of the year, including when the body suffers from vitamin deficiency. They contain more useful ingredients than dried apricots or nuts, while the cost of dried apples is significantly lower.

• When talking about the apple diet, can we mean the dried apple diet?

We answer right away: no. At least because their energy value is several times higher than fresh fruits. 1.5 kg of dried fruit contains the daily norm of calories, although satiety from such a product is not felt. However, the use of dried fruit for dietary purposes is advisable, since it helps to lose weight.

• The advantage of dried fruit is that it does not cause fermentation. To preserve the nutrients, dried fruit should not be boiled, it is enough to soak it to soften.

A diet of dried apples is contraindicated during an ulcer exacerbation and for diabetics. If you are overweight, you should use the product with caution.

The softened slices are used to make vitamin candies. They are minced, nuts, other fruits, and honey are added; balls are formed from the mass and rolled in cocoa powder. They are eaten chilled. Such sweets replace store-bought cakes and candies, which contain more harmful than useful things.

Dried apples go well with kefir and oatmeal. They make the healthiest drinks with a minimum of sugar and calories.

Chicken and Apple Diet

Those who think that to lose weight it is enough to simply not eat are mistaken. The body is designed in such a way that fasting, at least short-term, is perceived as a signal to stock up on energy components "for future use". That is, to deposit fat in the "bins". This does not contribute to weight loss in any way, but quite the opposite.

• The chicken and apple diet is better than various starvation or pure apple diets. If only because it is more filling and balanced.

The plan of action for the apple plus chicken diet is as follows:

1. For three days we eat fresh and baked apples, without restrictions.
2. The next three days – only chicken. Boiled in water or steamed 500g fillet, without salt and seasonings, divided into five portions.
3. Days 7 and 8 – kefir: drink 1.5 liters of fermented milk drink.
4. The last day - the diet ends with chicken broth.

The method is considered strict, but if you follow the plan, you can really lose up to 6 kg. The advantage is that you don’t have to stand at the stove for a long time, preparing pickles and complex dishes from expensive ingredients.

• Thanks to the abundance of easily digestible proteins, muscles are strengthened, the body becomes toned, as fats leave their depots and are used as energy material.

However, protein diets should not be overused, so that their excess does not overload the gastrointestinal tract. A long-term deficiency of fat components and salt is also dangerous. An imbalance of such substances leads to deterioration of the appearance of skin, nails, and hair.

Carrot and Apple Diet

A simple, at first glance, diet on carrots and apples, promises record results: weight loss of as much as 20 kg! But there is one "but": such results can be achieved only after a month of following a diet on apples and carrots. And then curiosity overcomes me: show me a person who is able to withstand the meager diet of the apple diet, even with carrots, for as many as 30 days! And how will he feel after a month of voluntary tests and, frankly, abuse of the body and psyche.

However, not everything is so bad. More acceptable options have been developed, based on the medicinal use of the orange root vegetable.

• Carrots have long been used to combat digestive and respiratory pathologies. The modern nutritional method is attributed to the Bulgarian healer Dimkov.

Carrots are valued primarily for beta-carotene, which is transformed into vitamin A. This is an extremely important component for vision, metabolism, skin, hair, nails, and bones. Carrot antioxidants have a rejuvenating and anti-carcinogenic effect. Therefore, a carrot diet has a positive effect not only on your figure, but also on your appearance in general.

• Weight loss occurs thanks to the fiber that both ingredients of the carrot-apple system are rich in.

There are 3-, 7-, 10-day versions, allowing you to lose from 2-3 to 7-9 kg. Three-day versions are the most popular, for the simple reason that they end faster and do not have unpleasant consequences in the form of sagging and yellowing of the skin. And this is often the fault of long-term methods.

For those interested in this weight loss system, we remind you that even short diets should not be carried out without control, because carrots, among other things, can cause allergies and disrupt digestion. A visit to a knowledgeable doctor will prevent such risks.

Apple and rice diet

Most dietary systems are accompanied not only by weight loss, but also by cleansing the body. Such cleansing is recommended to be carried out regularly, since even with a healthy lifestyle, the body is periodically polluted with slags and toxins. The apple-rice diet combines cleansing and weight loss.

The apple diet with rice is carried out as follows. Cook a glass of rice in milk, without adding anything else. This is a portion of porridge for breakfast and dinner. In the morning, eat the "large half", leave the "smaller half" for the evening, and after dinner, you are allowed to eat one apple.

• The rest of the day they eat fruit, two fruits at a time.

The first portion of apples is eaten two hours after the rice. During the day, drink water and/or unsweetened apple compote. The duration of the rice and apple diet is only five days. Then it is recommended to take a week's break, even if the diet is not boring and you want to continue in the same spirit.

• There is another version of the apple diet with the addition of rice. This is a strict system designed for three days.

According to the rules, a glass of cereal per day is boiled in water and divided into small portions. Half a kilo of apples is required, they are divided in half: some are eaten fresh, the rest are made into compote, which is washed down with rice porridge. Apples dull hunger caused by insufficiently caloric and varied nutrition. Clean water is also allowed.

According to experts, preference should be given to green fruits, and not only raw, but also baked. They restore the balance of potassium, which is intensively excreted from the body during rice-apple diets.

Cabbage and apple diet

All varieties of cabbage contain components that promote weight loss. This information is many, many years old, so in a dietary context, white cabbage and its relatives are welcome guests in any diet. The cabbage-apple diet is one of the cabbage method options that promises effective weight loss without much effort.

Unlike the usual apple diet, this diet is designed in a single version - for three days, with the goal of quickly losing two to three kilograms. The cabbage and apple diet menu is as simple as possible:

• Breakfast – herbal tea or natural coffee (without sugar, milk, cream or other additives).
• Lunch – salad from both ingredients or diet borscht.
• Dinner: stewed cabbage with a piece of fish or meat, cooked in a saucepan or steamer.

The number and volume of snacks is not limited. The main thing is that they consist exclusively of apples and cabbage.

The dietary properties of cabbage are well known: it contains a variety of useful substances and is low in calories. It is easy to grow in a garden or summer cottage and inexpensive to buy in a store, which is also important for many people losing weight.

In addition to weight loss, the vegetable helps to get rid of constipation, has a beneficial effect on the respiratory system, kidneys and liver, regulates fat metabolism, and has anti-cancer properties. It is combined with many products, and not only in the apple diet menu, but also in dishes that require culinary processing. This applies to all varieties of white cabbage and its other relatives - cauliflower, Savoy cabbage, Chinese cabbage, kohlrabi, broccoli.

• It is not recommended to eat only the white stalk, which contains residues of fertilizers, pesticides - in general, all the toxic components used in industrial vegetable growing.

When starting a diet, you should make sure that there are no contraindications - high acidity, intestinal inflammation, diarrhea, or previous heart attacks.

Orange and Apple Diet

Modern fashionistas are more concerned about their figure on the eve of the swimming season, but it never hurts to lose weight (forgive the pun). For winter weight loss, it is very convenient to use a diet of oranges and apples. At this time, both apples are still juicy, and there are plenty of oranges on the market. God himself ordered to use the opportune moment with maximum benefit - for health and for the figure!

• The apple and orange diet is an express method and is designed for a week.

It is often chosen, like the usual apple diet, after festive feasts and libations, when the excess of what was eaten, and often drunk, is deposited in fat depots as a monolith. The diet is strict, and you should know about it in advance. In addition to the ingredients mentioned, the diet includes a slice of rye bread, hard cheese, yogurt for dressing a fruit salad.

• Fruits are not only simply eaten whole, but also cut into pieces for salads, and juices and smoothies are squeezed out of them.

During the diet, an intensive drinking regime is important: the norm is 2 liters of still water daily. Only it can remove toxins and wastes, from which the body is cleansed with this method of nutrition.

• When buying fruits, pay attention to their quality.

Apples should be firm, juicy, without spots or dents. A wrinkled surface indicates that the fruit is not fresh, there is little liquid and nutrients left in them.

• An orange is the same as an “apple”, but only “Chinese”.

This is a record holder for vitamin C content. To replenish the daily norm, it is enough to eat only 150 g of the juicy fruit. Its pronounced fat-burning properties are also important for weight loss.

Despite all the benefits, it is difficult and harmful to stay on such a diet for longer than a week. Because oversaturation with vitamins is no less harmful than their deficiency.

Diet on apples and tangerines

Like oranges, tangerines are a low-calorie, vitamin-rich product used for dietary purposes. In combination with apples, they are included in a strict weekly diet on apples and tangerines. Specific substances give them dietary properties. As in the apple diet, pectin, a kind of antagonist of fatty substances, plays an important role. The fiber present in both types of fruit gives a sufficient feeling of satiety and "sweeps out" dirt from the cavities of the intestines.

Features of the apple and tangerine diet:

• Fruits balance the iron and magnesium levels.
• Fiber regulates intestinal functions.
• Cholesterol levels are reduced and blood vessels are strengthened.
• Immunity is increased.

In addition to the seven-day diet, a five-day diet or a daytime fast is used. And this is understandable, because surviving a whole week exclusively on two types of fruit is not as easy as it seems when reading introductory articles.

The calendars-diaries are scheduled for all diet options. In short, the system is as follows: four meals a day, including lunch. You are allowed to eat 3-5 oranges and 4-6 apples throughout the day. And so on for seven days. I seriously doubt that many people can handle such a regimen... And doctors do not allow people with allergies, gastrointestinal problems and high pH to lose weight this way.

Apple Cider Vinegar Diet

Everyone has heard about the benefits of apples in general and the apple diet in particular, and many have tested this information on themselves. We have also heard about the apple-vinegar diet, but somehow out of the corner of our ear. What vinegar are we talking about and what are its benefits?

• This version of the apple diet, like many others, is attributed to the unforgettable Cleopatra.

That is, not the authorship, but the use and effectiveness of apple cider vinegar on a keto diet (that's how it sounds scientifically) was supposedly proven by the appearance and health of the beautiful queen. Although, according to the traditions of that time, she did not deny herself anything at the festive table, and he, in accordance with her high status, was rich every day.

• Let's get down to business. Judging by the enthusiastic publications, you might think that humanity has found a panacea that guarantees weight loss regardless of the amount eaten. It is enough to wash down food with vinegar - and the extra calories disappear in an unknown direction!

Unfortunately or fortunately, this is not the case. Although the usual acidic liquid present in every kitchen has a number of irreplaceable properties, are these dietary properties? It turns out that a limited amount of acid taken internally regulates the acid-base balance, stimulates gastric secretion, increases efficiency and mood. And this is all that diets are started for!

• For the diet, they use not table vinegar, but apple cider vinegar, which contains malic acid.

It is the one that takes part in very important biochemical processes. The procedure requires a product of 5-6% concentration. Vinegar promotes weight loss by burning fat. Drink it very diluted: a teaspoon per cup of water. You can sweeten it with honey: it improves both the taste and the health benefits. And not stronger, so as not to damage the gastric mucosa!

• There are two ways to take vinegar: in the morning on an empty stomach or three times a day after meals.

Both have opponents and supporters, including among nutritionists. To avoid unpleasant consequences, it is advisable to make your choice together with a specialist who knows all the dietary subtleties. This will eliminate the threat of harming yourself, but will increase the chances of enjoying a beautiful figure and vigor after the diet.

Banana-apple diet

It would seem strange to include bananas in the diet menu, which are excluded in other diets as not contributing to weight loss. It turns out that if you eat only your favorite fruits for several days, then the excess kilograms go away just as effectively as with other special methods. This is what the banana-apple diet is based on. A week of such a diet provides a 5-kilogram weight loss.

Much has been said about the properties of apples, so we will only briefly recall: they are rich in useful substances, inexpensive, tasty, and familiar to the body. From a dietary point of view, the presence of slow carbohydrates and fiber, which swells in the digestive organs and creates a feeling of pseudo-satiety, is important. Thanks to it, a person losing weight on an apple diet eats less other, non-dietary food.

• In addition, passing through the grass tract, fiber captures various deposits that for one reason or another were not evacuated from there on their own. This fact has the best effect on metabolism and well-being.

Bananas are not so useful in the dietary aspect, because they contain a lot of sugar. Despite this, the apple and banana diet is effective because it is low in calories.

And the glucose that comes from bananas performs no less important functions: it supports the functioning of the brain and muscles, maintains optimism, and adds strength.

In fact, some experts consider this system controversial in terms of weight loss. Apparently, it is due to the peculiarities of perception of various ingredients by different people's organisms. What is good for one, is harmful to others.

Apple Juice Diet

"Drink juice and lose weight" - these words could become an advertising slogan for the apple juice diet. It combines the benefits of the apple diet and drinking diets. A characteristic feature is the need for a preparatory period if the choice of a person wishing to lose weight falls on a long-term modification. With a short-term 2-day regimen, you can do without preparation or at least one day before the start do without sweets, fatty and spicy food.

• The apple or juice diet is characterized by seasonality. The best time to follow it according to all the rules and to be most effective is the end of summer and autumn, when apples of different varieties ripen, they are all fresh, full of juice and healthy ingredients.

One of the rules (optional, but desirable) is to buy a juicer for making fresh dietary products yourself. A blender that allows you to make smoothies, that is, juice enriched with pulp, will also do. It is a little more filling and enriched with fiber. It is advisable to drink both drinks immediately, if this is not possible, keep them in opaque dark bottles for no longer than eight hours.

• Daily portion: up to 3 liters of juice diluted in half with water.

It is diluted because concentrated natural juice has an adverse effect on the pancreas. In addition to the drink, they drink water, herbal and rosehip decoctions

The regimen for use is as follows: drink juice every two hours, starting at 8:00 and until 20:00. The first portion is a glass, then two glasses per serving. To avoid damage to tooth enamel, use a cocktail straw. At the end of the day, it is recommended to take a warm bath.

• There is a gentle version of juice healing.

If you drink half a glass of apple juice half an hour before breakfast, it will ensure the adsorption and removal of toxins, as well as the active absorption of beneficial components: antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins.

At the same time, irregular juice intake will not bring any noticeable benefit. To achieve the effect, you should set yourself up for at least a month-long procedure.

Applesauce Diet

In 5 days of the applesauce diet, you can lose 4-5 extra kilograms. The diet is not easy and, unlike the usual apple diet, includes a preparatory period: for several days before starting the apple puree diet, you should gradually reduce your usual food portions.

• By the way, the habit of not overeating will be very useful in the future – in order to prevent the triumphant return of kilograms to previously “lived-in” and comfortable places.

The puree diet is quite meager: the daily norm is 200g of puree, a few cherries, 60g of hard cheese, a slice of bread.

The exit from the diet and the transition to a traditional menu is also gradual. The whole week will be spent increasing the caloric content (+150 cal daily), and not at the expense of fatty and heavy products, no matter how greedily the eyes of the person who has lost weight "devoured" the previously forbidden food. On the contrary, heavy food will have to be limited to a healthy minimum in the future.

• To suppress your appetite, it is recommended to snack on an apple or drink some water some time before eating.

Strict diets, including apple diets, are recommended exclusively for healthy people. If there are problems, they can cause more harm than you might think. Contraindications include a whole list of digestive disorders, including hyperacid gastritis, acute infections, diabetes, anemia, and vitamin deficiency.

Tomato-apple diet

Due to the high compatibility of apples with other plant foods, a huge variety of diets on apples and other fruits have been developed. It is not surprising that the tomato-apple diet is advertised not only by nutritionists, but also by people who have tried the program on themselves.

• Whether it is considered a modification of the apple diet with tomatoes as the second component or vice versa is up to nutritionists to decide.

We will focus on the essence, and it is in the active consumption of fiber, necessary for the elimination of slagging and active weight loss. Also, red fruits contain components that regulate sugar, prevent fat deposits on the walls of blood vessels and in reserve, serving to prevent cancer formation in women during menopause.

• The diet is strict, so it is recommended to "sit" on it for two, maximum - 4 days. The predicted weight loss is a kilogram per day.

Start with tomatoes: eat as much as you like on the first day. Stock up on apples on the second day: up to 3 kg. With such an unpretentious menu, hunger will definitely appear, and then quite soon. You need to prepare for this in advance. It is recommended to dull hunger with dried fruits: dried apricots, figs, unsmoked black plums. Everyone can see for themselves how effectively these products resist hunger. But the supply of nutrients in the body of the person losing weight will undoubtedly be replenished.

Cucumber-apple diet

One of the modifications of the apple diet includes the addition of regular cucumbers. The choice is not accidental, because green "pumpkin relatives" are recognized dietary vegetables. The cucumber-apple diet is based on these properties of both components.

• Cucumbers are low in calories and high in minerals, as well as water (90%).

Vitamins, fiber are also present, and the juice helps eliminate edema. However, this ability is not suitable for people with kidney pathologies. During the diet on apples and cucumbers, it is possible to lose a kilogram of weight per day.

Not everyone can give up food diversity for a long time, so fasting days are more popular. The three-day version is carried out according to the following method:

• The first two days, consume 1.5 kg of fruit, divided into 6 servings.
• On cucumber day, kefir is added to the vegetables. It is drunk in between cucumbers.
• On apple day, drink unsweetened tea or kefir.
• Day three – 1 kg of cucumbers and 0.5 kg of apples. Drink – kefir or water.

If possible and desired, the three-day period can be repeated, but in general it is not recommended to stick to such a meager diet for more than a week. Repetitions are possible only after a break for rest. During which you cannot abuse harmful food, which can quickly level out the results of the diet, suffered through strict restrictions.

Apple and nut diet

The three-day apple-nut diet also belongs to the fast category. What is the benefit of nuts as an additional ingredient in the apple diet?

Nuts are a source of energy, maintain lipid levels. This is especially necessary in cold weather, to withstand low temperatures. What nuts are best for the apple diet?

• Hazelnuts are the leader among nuts in terms of healthy fats and proteins. A supplier of proteins in vegetarian diets. Pairs well with sour and sour-sweet apples.
• Dried or roasted almonds replace meat for people who do not consume animal products. They provide energy, strengthen nerves, and regulate digestive processes.
• Walnuts are just as rich in useful components, and are also much cheaper than imported ones.

For the best effect, several types of nuts are used. It is recommended to buy unpeeled nuts, but in the shell, the presence of which preserves the nutritional properties of the kernels.

The dietary regimen includes 6 meals a day. Drink a glass of fresh juice on an empty stomach. Breakfast consists of an apple and a handful of nuts. For lunch - nuts, for dinner - unlimited apples and other types of nuts. Afternoon snack - only juice. Dinner consists of fresh apples and nuts (the remaining type of the three prepared for the diet). Between meals, drink up to one and a half liters of clean water.
