There are two varieties of apple techniques: the usual unloading day and a rigid diet on apples. If the first allows apples in unlimited quantities, the second limits the portion to 1.5kg and nothing else - no food or drink.
Unloading days are practiced once or twice a week, and so for three months. The scheme allows you to lose weight and maintain the result, thanks to the normalization of metabolism. Such a regimen also eliminates swelling and normalizes blood pressure.
- The duration of apple diets is very different: from one day to several weeks. Apples are combined with kefir, cottage cheese, porridge, other fruits and vegetables and a lot more. It is impossible to enumerate the variants.
The classic seven-day monodiet is considered a strict method of weight loss. The number of apples is regulated by day, the diversity 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 naturally.
Those who can not afford long diets, that do without apple unloading or combines apples with other dietary foods: yogurt, oatmeal, green vegetables, carrots. The result of such a relatively gentle diet will not make you wait.
Diet on kefir and apples
The success of the diet on kefir and apples is in the small number of calories, as well as in the availability of these products in any season of the year. Non-fat kefir - the best product for the digestive system, liver, kidneys. Restores disturbed metabolism, removes toxins. In combination with apples protects the mucosa from the aggressive effects of acids.
Apples act in the same way, removing poisons along with excess fluid. A diet on apples in combination with kefir effectively burns fat and revitalizes the body.
- Many are seduced by the supposed ease of the apple diet with kefir and impressive results: an average of minus a kilogram a day.
In fact, it is not an easy system, it requires good health and motivation. Diabetes, obesity, hypertension, digestive problems are contraindications for such diets.
- Options of varying durations are available.
Three-day is appropriate when preparing for an important date or event, when you need to get in shape. The first and third day are kefir. 1.5 liters of the drink is divided into five or six receptions. The second day eat only fresh apples, also in several receptions. All three days do not eat anything else, but drink plenty of water: drink green tea and other unsweetened drinks, pure water.
- The seven-day diet is a little more varied. In the sense that in addition to fresh, baked apples, smoothies, 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, the middle of the diet - on apples. During this time it is possible to lose as much as 10 kg.
Diet on apples and water
Experts believe that the main purpose of the diet on apples and water is to eliminate poisons and toxins. In addition, such a diet regulates metabolism, and as an additional benefit, weight loss and skin cleansing. Even a one-day apple diet, the so-called unloading diet, is able to cleanse the gallbladder, optimize intestinal microflora, increase the level of iron in the blood. Some experts advise that apple seeds should not be thrown away, but eaten: they contain a lot of iodine. Also useful is the layer located under the hard skin of the fruit. And the maximum amount of vitamin C is in sour varieties.
- Diet on apples involves the mandatory consumption of water - almost unlimited, but not less than 2 liters daily.
Before embarking on 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 to 3-5-7-day versions of weight loss and purification on apples and water. Each of the modifications has peculiarities concerning apples, but not concerning drinking: tea, herbal infusions, water should be drunk at least 2 liters.
If your choice is the unloading option with apples and water, it is recommended to practice it for three months, one to two times a week for stable weight and well-being.
Green apple diet
About the effectiveness of diets on apples, nutritionists have informed all comers, as soon as they learned about it. And many overweight people have successfully used this information.
The fact that the best varieties for the apple diet are green in color, became known relatively recently. This was found out by American scientists who studied the dietary properties of different varieties of apples. They also claim that the diet on green apples is more effective for two reasons:
- Vo-1, they contain maximum compounds that prevent fat deposition.
- B-2, they are great at regulating digestion, which in overly obese people tends to be impaired.
Due to these properties, the intestines are cleansed of stale masses and filled with beneficial microorganisms. Another positive property is that green fruits do not contain allergens.
Any variant of monodiet with the use of green apples is considered more effective than with other fruits. But it should always be remembered that the individual characteristics of a person play an extremely important role: weight, age, state of health, reaction to certain products.
- Choosing green apples for the diet course, it is important to know the other side of the question: are these fruits useful for everyone?
It turns out that at least two categories of patients can not afford to enjoy juicy green apples: those suffering from gastritis and with gallbladder problems. Because acids and rough fiber provoke unpleasant symptoms in such people.
Diet on cottage cheese and apples
Apples are combined with other diet foods, so besides a pure diet on apples, variations are possible. One popular option is a diet on cottage cheese and apples. Both products are useful in their own way: apples supply pectin and vitamins, cleanse and optimize the activity of the GI tract; cottage cheese enriches with proteins: 100 g of the product is equal to one breast of chicken.
- An apple diet enriched with lactic acid is more nutritious and just as healthy as a pure apple diet.
Practicing unloading days, as well as longer diets. A common option is a nine-day diet, which gives the opportunity to lose up to 10kg. The scheme is as follows:
- three days of eating nothing but apples;
- the next three, just cottage cheese;
- the last few days, alternate them without mixing them.
A portion of apples - 1.5kg, 2% cottage cheese - 400g. When alternating, the same amount of cottage cheese is taken, apples - only half a kilo. Apples can be baked, make juice, puree. The cottage cheese should be eaten in its natural form.
Once the result is achieved, it must be maintained. For at least two months you need to limit the calorie content of food, exclude sweets and baked goods from the diet, and regularly carry out unloading days. Such nutrition normalizes metabolism, improves the figure, forms proper eating habits.
Diet on baked apples
Baked apples are one of the most important products of many health diets. Not surprisingly, in the list of apple diets, a separate place is given to a diet on baked apples. What is rich in ordinary fruit, subjected to heat treatment of microwave or oven?
- Baked apples contain a number of minerals, popular vitamins, starch, organic acids, and disaccharides.
Heat treatment somewhat reduces the usefulness, but makes apples a more dietary food. And if disputes about the benefits and harms of diets on fresh apples do not subside, then baked fruit does not apply. In their composition - 75% of water, thanks to which the product effectively cleanses the digestive organs, thus removing poisons and the rest of the ballast. They have a beneficial effect on blood vessels, heart, kidneys, liver, stomach, intestines, vision, teeth, skin.
- Baked fruits are recommended to expectant mothers for the prevention of heartburn and nausea, abdominal bloating, normalization of stool, 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. On the basis of baked apples, methods of unloading, mono- and non-mono-diets are created. They are allowed to diabetics and infants. A significant place useful dessert takes a place in non-diet diets, because apples with cottage cheese, honey, nuts - a great treat for children and adults with normal weight.
Choosing a method, you should take into account the peculiarities and time of consumption. In particular, on an empty stomach, apples are prescribed only for therapeutic purposes - to cleanse the intestines. This is due to the mild laxative effect of the dish. Restrictions on the amount there are not in all diets, but a reasonable portion is 5 pieces a day.
Diet on buckwheat and apples
Strict apple diet is only one of the varieties of fruit methods designed for weight loss. Thanks to the possibility of combining apples with porridge, methods like the diet on buckwheat and apples have been developed. Rice, oatmeal are also suitable for such dietary rations.
One version includes the use of steamed groats, rather than cooked porridge. This is a well-known dietary technique, actively used in special buckwheat methods of weight loss. For a diet on apples and buckwheat groats, a glass of the product is steamed overnight to eat porridge in three meals the next day. Apples are eaten between meals of buckwheat, 3-4 pieces each time. Both products enrich the body with iron, necessary for maintaining immunity and hormonal balance.
- On the plus side, the diet is budget-friendly and the results: digestion, cleansing, and skin improvement.
On the downside - impoverishment on calories, proteins and healthy fats. If such a diet is continued, sooner or later the metabolic processes are critically slowed down. In practice, this is manifested by 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 are gradually approaching the norm.
Not everyone is able to withstand the hunger test typical of long-term low-calorie methods. Alternatively, regular unloading days with regular daily meals or a balanced low-calorie diet for a month or two.
Diet on oatmeal and apples
To solve the problem of excess weight, it is not necessary to resort to exotic drugs and exhausting hunger strikes. The most common products can help in this, the diet on apples is an example of this. And if too rigid regime of pure apple diets is not to someone's strength, it can be softened by the inclusion of more nutritious components. Diet on oatmeal and apples - just for such people.
Both products are useful in their own way. The fiber of oatmeal swells in the stomach and suppresses hunger, and its property of binding cholesterol is an invaluable additional effect of the diet.
- Apple fiber has the same properties, in addition juicy pulp supplies the body with vitamins, trace elements, natural fluid.
The diet allows you to cook oat groats or cereal not only with water, but also with milk. The daily portion is a glass of dry product, eaten in three meals. Meals are supplemented with apples in the amount of one and a half kilograms, preferably of sour taste. Drinking is not limited: water, unsweetened tea. As an exception, in extreme cases, you can use a piece of black dietary bread.
This diet is observed 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 drawback that the diet critically lacks protein. And this is harmful to the body. The diet on eggs and apples corrects this gap: with eggs the body receives proteins, vitamins and fats, with fruit - carbohydrates and vitamins.
- There are several variations of the apple-egg diet. Choose your own should take into account contraindications, which apply to people with kidney disease and digestive problems.
Diet on apples in combination with eggs is considered gentle. The simplest option is a three-day unloading diet, in which every day eat 5 pieces of cooked eggs and as many fruits as you want. The same menu is repeated after a week. Seven days between diets eat fully and rationally, a variety of healthy products.
- Another lighter version is for two weeks and resembles a protein diet.
It includes citrus, protein and other low-calorie foods. It is with them that every morning of a thinning person begins: 2 eggs+citrus+apple. In other receptions eat vegetables, cottage cheese, fish, meat - in limited quantities and properly cooked. Properly - this means baked, boiled, stewed dishes. Additives in the form of herbs, dried fruits are allowed.
Drinking is an important part of all versions. The choice is small and standard: water, green or herbal tea.
Diet on dried apples
Ripe and properly dried apple slices contain more vitamins than apples that have been lying around for months after harvest. They are available at any time of the year, including when the body suffers from avitaminosis. They contain more useful ingredients than apricots or nuts, while the cost of apple drying is significantly lower.
- When talking about apple diet, can you mean a diet on dried apples?
The answer is: no. At least because their energy value is many times higher than that of fresh fruits. 1.5 kg of dried fruit contains a daily allowance of calories, although satiation from such a product is not felt. However, the use of dried fruit for dietary purposes is reasonable, because it helps to lose weight.
- The advantage of dried fruit is that it does not cause fermentation. In order to preserve the useful substances, dried fruit should not be boiled, but soaked to soften.
Diet on dried apples is contraindicated during the exacerbation of ulcers and diabetics. If you are overweight, use the product with caution.
Softened slices are used for making vitamin candies. They are crushed on a meat grinder, add nuts, other fruits, honey; from the mass form balls and roll them in cocoa powder. They are eaten chilled. Such sweets replace store-bought cakes and candies, which are more harmful than useful.
Dried apples are combined with kefir, oatmeal. They are used to prepare the healthiest drinks with a minimum of sugar and calories.
Chicken and apples diet
Anyone who thinks that for weight loss it is enough just not to eat is mistaken. The body is organized in such a way that starvation, at least short-term starvation, perceives it as a signal to store energy components "in store". That is, to deposit fat in the "pantry". This in no way contributes to weight loss, but just the opposite.
- The chicken and apple diet is better than various starvation or purely apple diets. This is because it is more nourishing and balanced.
The plan of action of the diet on apples plus chicken is as follows:
- For three days eat fresh and baked apples, no restrictions.
- The next three days - only chicken. Boiled on water or steam fillet 500g, without salt and seasoning, divided into five portions.
- 7, 8 days - kefir: drink 1.5 liters of fermented milk drink.
- The last day - the diet is completed with chicken broth.
The method is considered strict, but if you follow the plan, you can really lose up to 6 kg. The plus side 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 highly digestible proteins, the muscles are strengthened and the body is embossed, as fats leave their depots and are used as energy material.
However, protein diets should not be abused, so that their excess does not overload the gastrointestinal tract. Just as dangerous is a prolonged deficiency of fatty components and salt. The imbalance of such substances leads to deterioration of the skin, nails, hair.
Carrots and apples diet
Simple, at first glance, diet on carrots and apples, promises record results: weight loss of as much as 20 kg! But the network one "but": to such results can be approached only for a month of adherence to the diet on apples and carrots. And then I get curious: show me a man who can withstand a meager diet of apple diet, even with carrots, for the whole 30 days! And how he will feel after a month of voluntary trials and, to put it bluntly, abuse of the body and psyche.
However, it is not all that bad. More acceptable options have been developed, built on the therapeutic use of orange root vegetables.
- Carrots have long been used to combat digestive and respiratory pathologies. The modern nutritional methodology is attributed to the Bulgarian healer Dimkov.
Carrots are valued primarily for beta-carotene, which is transformed into vitamin A. It is an extremely important component for vision, metabolism, skin, hair, nail plates, and bones. Carrot antioxidants have rejuvenating and anti-carcinogenic effects. Therefore, the carrot diet has a positive effect not only on the figure, but also on appearance in general.
- The weight loss is due to the fiber that both carrot-apple ingredients are rich in.
There are 3-, 7-, 10-day versions that allow 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 sinful long-term methods.
Those interested in this system of weight loss are reminded that even short diets should not be conducted uncontrolled, because carrots, among other things, can cause allergies and disrupt digestion. A visit to a knowledgeable doctor will prevent such risks.
Apple-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, because even with a proper lifestyle, the body is periodically polluted with slags and toxins. The apple-rice diet combines cleansing and weight loss.
Apple diet with rice is carried out as follows. Boil a cup of rice on milk, without adding anything else. This is a portion of porridge for breakfast and dinner. In the morning eat the "big half", for the evening leave the "smaller", and after dinner it is allowed to eat one apple.
- During the rest of the day 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 diet on rice and apples is only five days. Then it is recommended to take a week's break, even if the diet is not bored and want to continue in the same spirit.
- There is another version of the diet on apples with rice added. This is a rigid system designed for three days.
According to the rules, a glass of cereal a day is boiled on water and divided into small portions. Half a kilo of apples is required, they are divided in half: a part is eaten fresh, the rest is used to make a compote to drink with rice porridge. Apples dull hunger caused by insufficient caloric and varied diet. Clean water is also allowed.
According to experts, you should give preference to green fruits, and not only in raw form, but also baked. They restore the balance of potassium, which is intensively removed from the body during rice-apple diets.
Cabbage-apple diet
All varieties of cabbage have components that promote weight loss. This information is many, many years old, so in the dietary context, cabbage and its relatives are welcome guests in any diet. The cabbage-apple diet is one of the variants of the cabbage method, which promises effective weight loss without much stress.
Unlike the usual diet on apples, this diet is designed in a single version - for three days, with the aim of getting a quick weight loss of two to three kilograms. The menu of the diet on cabbage and apples is as simple as possible:
- Breakfast - herbal tea or natural coffee (without sugar, milk, cream or other additives).
- Lunch is a salad of both ingredients or diet borscht.
- Dinner - stewed cabbage with a piece of fish or meat cooked in a pot or steamer.
The number and volume of snacks is not limited. The main thing is that they should consist exclusively of apples and cabbage.
The dietary properties of cabbage are well known: it contains a variety of useful substances and few calories. It is easy to grow it on a garden or dacha plot and inexpensive to buy in the store, which is also important for many thinners.
In addition to weight loss, the vegetable helps get rid of constipation, has a beneficial effect on the respiratory organs, kidneys and liver, regulates fat metabolism, has anti-cancer properties. It is combined with many products, and not only in the menu of the apple diet, but also in dishes that require cooking. This applies to all varieties of white cabbage, and its other relatives - cauliflower, Savoy, Peking, kohlrabi, broccoli.
- It is not recommended to eat only the white pith, which concentrates the residues of fertilizers, toxic chemicals - in general, all the poisonous components that are used in the industrial cultivation of vegetables.
Starting a diet, you should make sure that there are no contraindications - hyperacidity, intestinal inflammation, diarrhea, previous heart attacks.
Diet on oranges and apples
Modern fashionistas are more concerned about the figure on the eve of the bathing season, but it's never a bad idea to lose extra (pardon the pun). For winter weight loss is very convenient to apply a diet on oranges and apples. At this time and apples are still juicy, and oranges on the market in bulk. God himself said to use the convenient moment with maximum benefit - for health and for the figure!
- Diet on apples and oranges belongs to express methods and is designed for a week.
Often it is chosen, as well as the usual apple diet, after festive feasts and libations, when the excess eaten, and often drunk, monoliths are deposited in fat depots. The diet is tough, and you should know about it in advance. In addition to the above ingredients, the diet includes a slice of rye bread, hard cheese, yogurt for fruit salad dressing.
- Fruits are not only banally eaten whole, but also cut into pieces for salad, squeeze them into freeshes and smoothies.
During the diet is important intensive drinking regime: the norm - 2 liters of non-carbonated water daily. Only it is able to eliminate toxins and slags, from which the body is cleansed by this way of eating.
- When buying fruit, pay attention to its quality.
Apples should be firm, juicy, without spots or dents. A wrinkled surface indicates that the fruit is stale, with little liquid and nutrients left in it.
- Orange is the same "apple" but only "Chinese".
It is a record-breaker in terms of vitamin C content. To replenish the daily norm, it is enough to eat only 150 g of juicy fruit. Its pronounced fat-burning properties are also important for weight loss.
Despite all the usefulness, it is both difficult and harmful to stay on such a diet for longer than a week. Because vitamin saturation is no less harmful than vitamin deficiency.
Diet on apples and tangerines
Like oranges, tangerines are a low-calorie vitaminized product used for dietary purposes. In combination with apples, they are part of a rigid one-week diet on apples and tangerines. Dietary properties are given to them by specific substances. As in the apple diet, an important function is performed by pectin - a kind of antagonist of fatty substances. The fiber present in both types of fruit gives a sufficient feeling of satiety and "sweeps out" the dirt from the intestinal cavities.
Features of the diet on apples with tangerines:
- Fruits equalize iron-magnesium balance.
- Fiber regulates intestinal function.
- It lowers cholesterol levels and strengthens blood vessels.
- Immunity is boosted.
In addition to the seven-day diet, a dietary five-day or daily unloading is used. And it is understandable, because to withstand a whole week exclusively on two types of fruit is not as easy as it seems when reading introductory articles.
Calendars-journals are written for all variants of the diet. In brief, the system is as follows: four meals, including lunch. For the whole day is allowed to eat 3- 5 oranges and 4-6 apples. And so seven days. Whether many people can afford such a regime - I strongly doubt... And people with allergies, gastrointestinal problems and high pH are not allowed to lose weight in this way doctors.
Apple-vinegar diet
Everyone has heard about the benefits of apples in general and the apple diet in particular, and many have checked this information on themselves. We have also heard about the apple-vinegar diet, but somehow by the edge of our ears. What kind of vinegar are we talking about and what are its benefits?
- This variant of the diet on apples, as well as many others, is attributed to the unforgettable Cleopatra.
That is, not authorship, but application, and the effectiveness of apple cider vinegar on ketodiet (as it sounds scientifically) as if it was proved by the appearance and health of the beautiful queen. Although, according to the traditions of the time, she did not deny herself anything at the festive table, and it, according to her high status, was rich daily.
- Let's get down to business. Judging by the enthusiastic publications, one might think that mankind has found a panacea that guarantees weight loss regardless of the amount eaten. It is enough to drink food with vinegar - and the extra calories fly away in an unknown direction!
Unfortunately or fortunately, this is not the case. Although the common acidic liquid present in every kitchen has a number of indispensable properties, but are they dietary properties? It turns out that a limited amount of acid taken internally regulates acid-base balance, stimulates gastric secretion, improves performance and mood. And that's what diets are all about!
- For the diet take not table vinegar, but apple cider vinegar, which contains malic acid.
It is the one that takes part in very important biochemical processes. A product of 5-6% concentration is needed for the procedure. Vinegar promotes weight loss by burning fat. Drink it strongly diluted: a teaspoon per cup of water. It can be sweetened with honey: it improves both flavor and usefulness. 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 desirable 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 in other diets are excluded as not contributing to weight loss. It turns out that if a few days to eat only favorite fruits, then excess pounds go as effectively as in 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.
A lot has been said about the properties of apples, so we will remind only briefly: they are rich in useful substances, inexpensive, tasty, familiar to the body. From a dietary point of view, it is important the presence of slow carbohydrates, fiber, which swells in the digestive organs and creates a sense of pseudo-satiety. Thanks to it, a person losing weight on the apple diet eats less than other, non-diet food.
- In addition, passing through the traumatic tract, the fiber captures various deposits that for one reason or another have not evacuated on their own. This fact has a better 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 diet on apples and bananas is effective because it is low in calories.
And the glucose that comes with bananas performs no less important functions: it supports brain and muscle function, keeps you optimistic, and adds strength.
In fact, some experts consider this system to be controversial in the sense of weight loss. Obviously, the point is the peculiarities of how different ingredients are perceived by different people's bodies. What is good for some is bad for others.
Apple juice diet
"Drink juice and lose weight" - these words could be an advertising slogan for the apple juice diet. It combines the benefits of 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 regime, you can do without preparation or at least one day before starting to do without sweets, fatty and spicy foods.
- The apple or juice diet is characterized by seasonality. The best time to conduct it according to all the rules and as effectively as possible is late summer and fall, when apples of various varieties are ripe, all of them fresh, full of juice and useful ingredients.
One of the rules (optional, but desirable) is to buy a juicer to prepare fresh diet food yourself. A blender that allows you to make smoothies, that is, juice enriched with pulp. It is a little more nourishing and enriched with fiber. Both drinks are desirable to drink immediately, if this is not possible, keep no longer than eight hours in opaque dark bottles.
- A daily serving is up to 3L of juice diluted half and half with water.
Dilute it because the concentrated natural juice adversely affects the pancreas. In addition to the drink, drink water, herbal and rosehip decoctions
The mode of consumption is as follows: drink juice every two hours, starting at 8.00 and until 20.00. The first portion - a glass, then - two glasses at a time. To avoid spoiling the tooth enamel to use a cocktail tube. At the end of the day it is recommended to take a warm bath.
- There is a gentle version of juice recovery.
If you drink half a glass of apple juice half an hour before breakfast, it provides adsorption and excretion of toxins, as well as active absorption of useful components: antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins.
At the same time, irregular intake of juice will not bring tangible benefits. To get the effect, you should tune in for at least a month-long procedure.
Applesauce diet
For 5 days of diet on applesauce 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 the start of the diet on apples in the form of puree should gradually reduce the usual portions of food.
- 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 "settled" and comfortable places.
The ration of mashed potatoes diet is very meager: daily norm - 200g of mashed potatoes, a few cherries or cherries, 60g of hard cheese, a slice of bread.
Exit from the diet and transition to a traditional menu is also gradual. The whole week will go to increase calories (+150 cal daily), and not at the expense of fatty and heavy foods, no matter how greedy the eyes of the slimmer did not "eat" forbidden food until now. On the contrary, heavy food for the future will have to be limited to a healthy minimum.
- To suppress appetite some time before a meal, it is recommended to snack on an apple or drink water.
Rigid diets, including apple diets, are recommended only for healthy people. If there are problems, they can do more harm than you might think. Contraindications include a whole list of digestive disorders, including hyperacid gastritis, acute infections, diabetes, anemia, avitaminosis.
Tomato-apple diet
Due to the high combinability of apples with other plant foods, a huge variety of diets on apples and other fruits have been developed. The tomato-apple diet, advertised not only by nutritionists, but also by people who have experienced the program on themselves, is not surprising.
- Consider it a modification of the apple diet with tomatoes as the second component or vice versa - let the nutritionists decide.
We will dwell on the essence, and it - in the active consumption of fiber, necessary for the elimination of slagging and active reduction of body weight. Also, red fruits contain components that regulate sugar, do not allow the deposition of fat on the walls of blood vessels and the reserve, serving to prevent cancer in women during menopause.
- The diet is tough, so "sit" on it is recommended two, maximum - 4 days. The predicted weight loss is one kilogram per day.
Start with tomatoes: on the first day eat them as much as you like. On the second day, stock up on apples: up to 3 kg. With such an unpretentious menu, the feeling of hunger is sure to appear, and then quite soon. You need to prepare for this in advance. Blunt hunger is advised dried fruits: apricots, figs, unsmoked black plums. How effectively these products resist hunger, everyone can see for himself. But the stock of useful substances in the body of the thinning will undoubtedly be replenished.
Cucumber-apple diet
One of the modifications of the apple diet includes the addition of ordinary cucumbers. The choice is not accidental, because green "relatives of the pumpkin" 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 and water (90%).
Vitamins, fiber are also available, and the juice contributes to the elimination of edema. True, this ability is not suitable for people with renal pathologies. During the diet on apples and cucumbers it is realistic to lose a kilogram of weight a day.
Not everyone can give up the food variety for a long time, so unloading days are more popular. The three-day version is carried out according to the following methodology:
- The first two days use 1, 5 kg of fruit divided into 6 portions.
- On the cucumber day, kefir is added to the vegetables. It is drunk in between cucumbers.
- On the apple day drink unsweetened tea or kefir.
- The third day is 1kg of cucumbers and 0.5kg of apples. Drinking - kefir or water.
If possible and desirable, the three-day diet can be repeated, but in general it is not recommended to stick to such a meager diet for more than a week. Repeats are possible only after a break for rest. During which you should not abuse junk food, which can quickly level the results of the diet suffered by severe restrictions.
Apple-nut diet
The three-day apple-nut diet also belongs to the category of fast. What are the benefits of nuts as an additional ingredient of the apple diet?
Nuts are a source of energy, maintain lipid levels. This is especially necessary in cold weather, to withstand low temperatures. So what are the best nuts for an apple diet?
- Hazelnuts are the leader among nuts in terms of healthy fat and protein content. Provider of protein in vegetarian diets. Excellent in combination with sour and sour-sweet apples.
- Toasted or dried almonds replace meat for people who do not consume animal products. Supplies energy, strengthens nerves, regulates digestive processes.
- Walnuts are just as rich in useful components, besides much cheaper than imported ones.
For the best effect, several types of nuts are used. It is recommended to buy not peeled, but in the shell, the presence of which preserves the nutritional properties of the kernels.
The dietary regimen provides for 6 meals. On an empty stomach drink a glass of fresh juice. Breakfast consists of an apple and a handful of nuts. For lunch - nuts, for lunch - an apple in unlimited quantities and nuts of another kind. Afternoon snack is juice only. Dinner is fresh apples and nuts (the remaining kind of the three prepared for the diet). Between meals drink up to one and a half liters of clean water.
