Malakhov's Express Diet is a way to lose weight quickly with good results. Moreover, this method still involves giving up unhealthy foods. "Food can become a powerful means of treatment, bringing a boost of energy, supporting the body's strength, or, on the contrary, cause diseases," Malakhov believed. Therefore, any of his diets for weight loss are based on healthy eating.
The essence of Dr. Malakhov's express diet
During the express diet according to Malakhov we use herbal infusions. As a result, we cleanse the body of toxins, get rid of excess weight and improve our health.
Duration of the express diet according to Malakhov
5 days
How to act to lose weight quickly?
Dr. Malakhov recommends drinking herbal infusions throughout the express diet. Amount – from 2 liters per day.
The infusion should be prepared in the evening. This is how it is done. Take a thermos with a capacity of at least 2 liters. Throw the herb in there and pour 2 liters of boiling water. Leave the liquid to brew overnight. In the morning, you can already drink the warm herbal decoction in portions.
If the decoction is not heated, the beneficial properties of the herbs will be preserved longer and in greater volume, says Dr. Malakhov.
For an express diet for 5 days you need to prepare the following ingredients
- 4 tablespoons mistletoe
- 4 tablespoons linden
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ lemon

Therefore, try to have all the necessary conditions during the herbal express diet: a toilet and the ability to wash your hands.
During the express diet according to Malakhov, there are no strict restrictions on the portions of the dishes you eat. But still, your goal was (and is!) to lose weight, not to gain excess weight. Therefore, try to avoid overeating in every possible way. And then the diet according to Malakhov will bring the desired result: slim forms and a great mood!
