The event is about to start, and there are only 3 days left to wait, so how do you button up your favorite dress? Let's turn to the current ballerina diet, or, as it is also called, the 3-3-3 diet, for help.
Daily routine: ballerina diet
Quick diets do not give a long-term effect, much less a clear result, but only mislead with a small decrease in weight, but then upset it with a sharp increase.
Calculate exactly how much time you have left until your event, and start the ballerina diet 3 days before it. Low-fat cottage cheese and eggs - this is what you should eat when you go on a diet.
At breakfast and lunch, boil and eat a boiled egg, after three hours, you need to eat 200g of cottage cheese. Then again, after 3 hours, 200g of low-fat cottage cheese. Repeat this method for two more days, remembering that you need to drink green tea, excluding sugar and water.

Losing weight without fanaticism
The ballerina diet is used only in urgent cases, and it is not worth abusing it. Only if you need to quickly and efficiently tighten up and lose excess weight. It is advisable to use this diet no more than six times a year.
The diet is not at all simple, it is difficult for some, but the result is stunning, 3 kg in three days without any pills. The only shame is that the effect of the ballerina diet is short-lived, if you allow yourself to sit down at a hearty table and have a good meal, then your kilograms, which you fought so hard with, can return to you again.
Beauty requires sacrifice, change radically
Don't expect that the ballerina diet will help you lose weight forever and get a perfect figure in three days. If after the feast you go back to your usual diet, your excess weight will soon make itself known.
However, by limiting your sugar consumption and stopping eating flour products, and constantly sticking to a light diet, with the ballerina diet you will definitely be happy with your toned figure and good physical shape in the future.
