It is very difficult to describe an effective diet in a few words precisely in order to reveal all the beneficial qualities of its impact on the body. Still, it is impossible not to tell about what an effective diet can be in its true form.

An effective diet is the way to lose weight

Three times a day you need to drink water heated from 18 to 20 degrees Celsius. Drink water 30-40 minutes before you sit down to eat, this principle of separate consumption of water and food promotes better absorption of food and the most effective synthesis of vital energy.

Effective menu

It is necessary to exclude extremely sweet fruits and vegetables from the menu, we refuse sugar, fructose, honey. Of the tasty fruits and vegetables, the following are taboo for you: corn, melon, peaches, grapes, avocado, potatoes, and we also exclude mango.

Give up sweet drinks, such as kvass and alcoholic drinks, including non-alcoholic beer. Smoked fish products, herring, roach, squid, salted crackers, fish game, mayonnaise, nuts, chips and absolutely any seeds should also be excluded from the daily menu, these products negatively affect your weight (that is, you do not lose weight).

If bread, then only black

If your body is craving carbohydrates in the form of black bread, bread containing bran or slightly stale bread, consult a nutritionist or your doctor before doing so.

If he allows it, please eat!

Fish, meat and cottage cheese will lower the fat threshold

If you like it, eat low-fat cottage cheese, drink diet yogurts or kefir (containing no more than 2.5% fat).

Do not deny yourself fish and meat dishes. Fish or meat should be boiled, baked in the oven, cooked in the microwave. For variety, fish and meat can be grilled (not often). Before cooking, and especially before eating, remove absolutely all the fat that you can see. When cooking birds, remove their skin.

Salads, porridges and a very interesting feast for the stomach

Rules of an effective diet

The stomach needs to unload from the effects of meat, fish and everything else, so we recommend preparing light salads, dressing them only with olive oil.

As for porridges, the same "system" applies here. Porridges are prepared with a minimum amount of olive oil, nothing more. Cook without adding milk or cream, only in water.

Sometimes you can close your eyes to the prohibitions and add a small amount of spices to taste.

Meal Schedule

Breakfast is available on a flexible schedule, from 6 to 9 am.

To have your second breakfast, you will have three whole hours, from 8:00 to 11:00.

We have lunch no earlier than 10:00 and no later than 13:00.

Afternoon snack starts at 2:00 pm and lasts until 4:00 pm, no later.

The last thing to come is dinner, which lasts from 17:00 to 20:00.

Be sure not to relax and do not make concessions to yourself, do not skip meals. Decide for yourself when and on what day you will eat, and do it.

Everything great starts with little things, on which the foundation of stability and consistency is built. Such a schedule will "train" the stomach to a certain metabolism, so do not skip meals.

If you follow these tips, you will lose weight easily and deliciously!
