The toughest and most effective diets

One of the radical ways to improve the body and fight overweight is a rigid diet. Consider the principles of nutrition, types of diets, menus, contraindications.

To date, a huge number of diets have been developed, which allows anyone to choose the most effective option for themselves. Rigid diets are very popular. They are used to lose weight quickly and improve well-being.

• Limited nutrition is a real test for the body. A sharp decrease in the caloric content of the daily diet negatively affects the work of all organs and systems. As a rule, the calorie content is cut to 1200 kcal per day, and in some cases up to 500.
• There are also options for mono-diets, when only one product is consumed for a certain period of time. These include apple, rice, buckwheat, kefir and other types. Such a diet leads to a deficiency of essential trace elements in the body, which negatively affects health.
• Duration of restricted meals should be no more than 5 days. In this case, you should use multivitamin preparations to supply the body with vitamins and minerals.

But, despite all the shortcomings, a strict regimen allows you to quickly lose weight. And if it is carried out after consultation with a nutritionist in compliance with all medical recommendations, then it will not bring much harm to the body. A temporary restriction in nutrition has a beneficial effect on well-being and helps to normalize weight. [1]

The toughest diet

Of all the rigid diets, the hardest option is a water or juice fast. The main principle of such nutrition is the prohibition of chewing and the complete exclusion of solid foods from the diet. Minimal stress on the digestive tract promotes weight loss, helps cleanse the body of toxins and tidy up the digestive organs.

The basic rules of the toughest weight loss system:

• Do not eat solid foods or use chewing gum. When a person makes chewing movements, gastric juice begins to be produced, which during a diet is dangerous for the digestive system and a half-empty stomach.
• It is necessary to control bowel movements. If constipation or diarrhea is observed, then you need to return to your usual diet.
• Any liquid should be stopped two hours before bedtime.
• To maintain the body, it is recommended to take multivitamin preparations.
• If there are any diseases in an acute form, or chronic pathologies that can be aggravated due to a change in diet, then no restrictions are imposed.

Before starting the toughest diet , you should consult with your dietitian and healthcare professional. [2]

Indications

A rigid diet can rightfully be considered one of the methods of improving the body. The main indications for its appointment are:

• Overweight.
• Chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
• Dermatological pathologies.
• Allergic reactions.
• Colds.
• Diseases of the nervous system.
• Hypertension.
• Strengthening the immune system.

With the correct entry and exit from the diet, it does not harm the body. The optimal duration of such a diet is 2-3 days. Longer restriction of the diet is harmful to health.

Particular attention should be paid to fasting days. This is a short-term 24-hour hard diet. Periodic unloading is not only useful, but also necessary for the body, and also has a minimum of contraindications for carrying out.

A strict diet for allergies

One way to treat all types of allergies is to follow a strict hypoallergenic diet. It helps to identify the causes of food allergies, reduce body weight and improve the immune system. A temporarily restricted diet reduces the burden on the digestive system and the body as a whole.

The basic principles of the therapeutic diet:

• Refusal from foods that provoke allergic reactions.
• Eliminate cross-food allergies from the menu.
• Refusal from unknown products and dishes.
• Study of the composition of consumed products and additives.
• Refusal from complex, multicomponent dishes, sauces, seasonings.
• Eating fresh products that have not been preserved or stored for a long time.
• A varied menu throughout the day to avoid prolonged use of the same product due to the risk of sensitizing effects.
• Harsh heat treatment of products to reduce their allergenic properties.
• Restriction of salt and sugar in the diet, which increase the activity of inflammatory reactions due to a decrease in the hydrophilicity of tissues.
• Exclusion from the menu of alcoholic beverages. They increase the permeability of the intestinal-hepatic barrier to allergens.

Before starting treatment for allergies, it should be remembered that the causative irritant may be a part of medications or occur in everyday life. Therefore, these factors should be carefully examined. [3]

Nutrition during a rigid diet should be physiologically complete and gentle. All dishes are recommended to be served boiled or baked. The daily calorie intake is 1500-1200 kcal. If the allergy has caused swelling, then you should reduce your fluid intake. [4]

The basis of the diet of rigid hypoallergenic food should be:

• White meat of chicken, turkey, boiled beef.
• Porridge (rice, oatmeal, buckwheat).
• Fermented milk products (cottage cheese, kefir, yogurt, feta cheese).
• Vegetarian soups.
• Tea and dried fruit compote.
• Vegetable oils.
• Vegetables, berries and fruits rich in organic acids and pectins.
• Foods with a high content of vitamin C, PP, P, A, E, K.

Prohibited Products:

• Foods with a high content of oxalic acid (sorrel, rhubarb, spinach).
• Foods with high levels of sodium and chlorine (eggs, mackerel, tuna, salmon, salted and pickled fish, citrus fruits, alcohol).
• All kinds of nuts.
• Fruits and berries are red / orange.
• Coffee and chocolate.
• Salted and smoked foods, sauces.
• Hard cheese.
• Semi-finished products.
• Mushrooms.

The list of products may vary depending on individual indications. The duration of nutritional therapy varies from 3 days to 2-3 weeks. When allergy symptoms cease to appear, then 2 weeks after improvement, you can gradually expand the diet. Moreover, each new product is introduced once every three days. [5]

A strict diet for gastritis

Gastritis is a pathological condition in which the gastric mucosa undergoes inflammatory and dystrophic changes. This disease is common among those who eat improperly, eat on the go and abuse junk food. [6]

A rigid diet for gastritis is one of the mandatory therapeutic methods. Patients are assigned a dietary table number 1, which is aimed at maintaining and restoring the digestive tract. The therapeutic diet is effective for stomach and duodenal ulcers, for acute forms of intestinal inflammation and exacerbations of chronic gastritis.

Nutrition rules:

1. Food is boiled, baked, or steamed. The finished dish should be at room temperature.
2. Limiting salt intake, as it irritates the stomach lining and retains water in the body, causing edema.
3. Fractional meals (5-6 small meals a day).
4. The daily calorie content is calculated individually, but should not exceed 2500 calories.

The basis of the menu should be porridge and soups based on vegetable broth. Low-fat meats and dried bread are allowed. The ban includes fresh bakery products, fatty meat and canned food, pickles and cheeses, marinades, sauces, carbonated drinks, alcohol, black coffee, sweets. [7]

Rigid nutritional therapy for gastritis has two modifications: 1A and 1B. For table 1A, all dishes are prepared in a liquid or mushy state. The ban includes vegetables, fruits and bread. The diet is kept for 14 days from the moment of exacerbation of the disease. Table 1B is assigned to complete the course of treatment and includes a more extended diet. [8]

General information of the hard diets

A strict diet has many indications for use. Its essence lies in improving the body and facilitating the work of the digestive system. Many diets are aimed at rapidly losing weight, eliminating allergic reactions, or preventing chronic diseases.

A rigid diet is based on the following principles:

• Lean food with low calorie content.
• An unbalanced menu with a focus on protein-rich foods.
• Small portions and limited meals per day.
• A long list of prohibited foods and dishes.
• Losing maximum excess weight in a short time.
• It is difficult to stick to food, there is a risk of breakdown.
• Dramatic changes in diet negatively affect mood and overall well-being.
• Long list of contraindications, with the exception of obesity.

The total calorie content of the diet is from 500 to 1200 kcal. There may be restrictions on fluid intake, but in most cases, up to 2 liters of water is drunk to maintain water balance. In the process of losing weight, it is forbidden to eat sweet, fatty, fried, baked goods and any foods with a high content of fast carbohydrates. During weight loss, it is necessary to take vitamin and mineral complexes. Also, some experts advise doing cleansing enemas once a week. [9]

Hard diet menu

Strict weight loss diets are stressful for the body. Deficiency of nutrients, vitamins and minerals negatively affects the functioning of all organs and systems. Based on this, you should carefully study the diet of the selected food system and additionally take multivitamin complexes.

The strict diet menu depends on its duration. If it is a fasting day or a mono-diet, then only one product is consumed and water balance is maintained. If meals are designed for 3, 5, 10 or more days, then the menu should be as balanced and phased as possible. This will allow the body to normally adapt to a limited diet and properly exit the diet without gaining the pounds thrown off.

Let's take a closer look at one of the popular food systems designed for nine days and its menu.

1. For three days, you can only eat rice and warm water with honey. You should eat 250 g of long-grain white rice, 3 teaspoons of honey and about 2 liters of water per day. Food is divided into 5-6 equal meals for the whole day. The last portion should be eaten no later than 20:00.
2. The second stage is also designed for three days. Boiled chicken or fish, natural honey and purified water become the basis of the menu. You can eat no more than 1 kg of chicken or fish, 3 teaspoons of honey and 2 liters of liquid per day. You can alternate meat and fish days, but you cannot take both products on the same day.
3. The final stage menu consists of vegetables, honey and water. You can eat up to 1 kg of vegetables, three teaspoons of honey and 2 liters of water per day. It is better to choose seasonal vegetables, as they contain the maximum amount of nutrients. Vegetables can be stewed, boiled, baked, but without adding oil. Salad panicle will be effective: 1 beet, 1 carrot, cabbage, green apple. All ingredients are rubbed on a coarse grater and seasoned with lemon juice.

Such a nutritional system allows you to get rid of 7-9 kg of excess weight, cleanse and heal the body.

How to cope with a tough diet?

A breakdown while dieting is common. It is quite difficult psychologically and physically to observe 3, 5, 10, or even a month marathon without the usual dishes. In order to withstand a tough diet, you should properly prepare for it:

• Don't start your diet abruptly. A week before it starts, reduce the calorie content of your diet, the amount of fat and carbohydrates. This will help the body adapt to the restrictions while losing weight and will not become too stressful.
• Choose a specific power system and carefully study all its nuances. Pay special attention to the presence of contraindications and the risk of complications.
• Stock up on the food you need in advance. This will reduce the risk of breakdown due to the lack of food necessary for weight loss.
• Find motivation. Determine for yourself why you need a diet, what it will give you, what results you expect, how your life will improve after losing weight. Many psychologists recommend visualizing your desires. To do this, you can purchase a dress a couple of sizes smaller. The presence of a beautiful thing will be a reason for observing all the rules of losing weight and a kind of reward for the work done.
• Do not start losing weight during depression or a period of failure. Diet will not solve the problems that have arisen, therefore, it is better to fight excess weight with a good mood for a positive result.
• Learn to see diet as a way to improve yourself, not a method of fighting excess weight. This will help you to love yourself and your body. Massages, various cosmetic procedures for the face and body, or just a daily bath to relieve fatigue will be useful.
• Pamper yourself by adding your favorite food to the menu as a reward for your efforts. Or eat your favorite meal once a week / month. Love the foods that are part of your diet. Learn to cook delicious and simple dishes, use fresh herbs and aromatic herbs.
• Find a hobby for yourself, the less free time you have, the less often thoughts about food and the desire to disrupt the nutrition system will arise.

The above recommendations will help you not to break down and calmly transfer the diet. [10]

Benefits

A rigid diet, like any other nutritional system, has its pros and cons. The advantages of a restricted diet are:

• Rapid weight loss (up to 1.5 kg per day).
• Purgation.
• Elimination of allergic reactions.
• Improving overall well-being.
• Elimination of puffiness.
• Stimulation of metabolic and metabolic processes in the body.

A restricted diet promotes healthy eating habits. [11]

What can and what can not?

No matter how terrible a tough diet may seem, if it is correctly built, then its diet is diverse.

What can you eat?

Consider what you can eat while losing weight, and what foods contribute to weight loss:

• Apples are a low-calorie food with a lot of vitamins and antioxidants.
• Grapefruit is a fragrant citrus with a low calorie content, it is great for speeding up the metabolism.
• Natural yogurt and fermented milk products - have a beneficial effect on the digestive system, improve metabolic processes in the body.
• Oatmeal - improves bowel function, normalizes blood clotting, controls the absorption of fat by the body.
• Olive oil - helps to assimilate fat-soluble vitamins, contains a complex of useful substances.
• Avocado - it contains unsaturated fatty acids that suppress hunger for a long time and are easily absorbed.
• Eggs are a source of protein and calcium.
• Almonds, walnuts, sunflower kernels - contain a lot of proteins, carbohydrates and healthy fats. Great as a snack between meals.
• Porridge is a source of energy, trace elements, vitamins and fiber. Properly cooked porridge will not harm even the most strict diet.

The drinking regime deserves special attention. During weight loss, you need to drink a lot, at least 2 liters of purified water without gas per day. Drink before meals or during meals, but not after. Allowed natural fresh juices, herbal decoctions (chamomile, mint, rose hips), compotes from dried fruits and berries (without sugar), water with lemon and ½ teaspoon of honey.

What shouldn't be eaten?

Any diet aimed at losing weight involves certain restrictions in the diet and a decrease in daily calories. Consider foods that are prohibited with a rigid food system:

• Trans fats are found in convenience foods, dairy and other processed foods. When losing weight, you should give up low-fat foods, foods with a lot of artificial additives and fillers. The basis of the diet should be natural food with gentle heat treatment.
• Sweeteners - most often corn fructose, which is found in many foods. It is prohibited for those who are losing weight, as it promotes the deposition of fat, especially in the abdomen. Any artificial sweeteners slow down the metabolism and cause real addiction.
• Flour - It has no nutritional value, but it contains a lot of calories. Flour products slow down the metabolism, which leads to the accumulation of energy in the form of fatty deposits. When losing weight, give up baking, confectionery. As a last resort, replace wheat flour with whole grain or oat bran.
• Starch - found in potatoes, white rice and a number of other foods. It slows down metabolic processes in the body, contains a large amount of carbohydrates, which are stored as fat.
• Salt - retains water, causes swelling and slows down weight loss. Mayonnaise, ketchup and other sauces, seasonings are banned. Fresh herbs and dried aromatic herbs are great for enhancing the taste of food.
• Fruit juices and sodas. They violate weight loss due to the large amount of sugar, do not contain vitamins and nutrients that are part of freshly squeezed natural teats.

The ban includes alcoholic and low-alcohol drinks, strong tea and coffee, carbonated mineral water. Water with the addition of natural lemon juice and honey will be useful. This drink stimulates metabolic processes in the body.

Contraindications

Like any diet, a tough diet has a number of contraindications. Let's consider them on the example of a drinking diet:

• Weakened immune system
• Exacerbation of chronic diseases.
• Pregnancy and lactation.
• Kidney disease.
• Chronic cystitis.
• Liver disease.
• Heart failure.
• Pathologies from the organs of the digestive system.
• Phlebeurysm.
• Bulimia and other eating disorders.
• Blood pressure surges.
• Mental disorders.
• Increased irritability, depression.
• A tendency to edema.

Any nutritional system that provides for an unbalanced diet with a minimum intake of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients is prohibited in childhood and adolescence. During this period, the body grows and develops, and the diet is very stressful for it and can cause a number of unpredictable complications. [12]

Possible risks

A rigid food system has many contraindications and can cause side reactions. Let's take a look at the main risks associated with diet:

1. General weakness, headache, nausea - the appearance of these symptoms is characteristic of a sharp weight loss. In the body, fats are broken down, and toxic products (ketone bodies) accumulate, which cause a painful condition.

The danger is that the destructive activity of ketone bodies affects the entire body, especially the nervous system. Poisoning of neurons in the brain provokes migraine, damage to the spinal nerve nodes and other structures. In order to protect yourself, you need to reduce weight gradually.

2. Prolapse of internal organs. Due to a sharp decrease in the caloric content of the diet, the body begins to use internal fat reserves from the abdominal cavity and small pelvis. At the same time, the subcutaneous fatty tissue and external fat remain intact to the last. A decrease in internal fat is dangerous by the prolapse of the kidneys, heart and other organs, which can take the wrong position and disrupt the work of the whole body.
3. Deterioration of the condition of hair, skin, nails. An unbalanced diet leads to a deficiency of essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Prolonged weight loss causes a decrease in hemoglobin and a shift in electrolyte balance. Because of this, brittle nails appear, hair begins to fall out, and the skin peels off.

The production of immunoglobulins decreases, therefore, resistance to various infectious, fungal and colds decreases.

4. Sagging skin - the rapid loss of weight and a large amount of subcutaneous fat leads to the appearance of stretch marks, that is, stretch marks. The skin simply does not have time to tighten. For example, when you lose weight by more than 40 kg, the skin sags so much that surgical intervention is required. The risk of sagging skin depends on the age of the person and the tone of the epidermis. The younger you lose weight, the faster tissue tightening occurs. Massages and other tightening procedures will be helpful.
5. An irresistible feeling of hunger. A rigid diet leads to a decrease in glucose concentration, which is very stressful for the body. The hunger center perceives the situation as critical and begins to send active signals to the cerebral cortex. This pathological excitement provokes an increased appetite. The danger of this condition is that it can result in chronic overeating, bulimia and other eating disorders.
6. Return of weight - if after the diet the lost kilograms returned again and took with them 2-3 additional ones, then this indicates that the process of losing weight was not organized correctly. Since severe restrictions in the diet are fused with a rapid decrease in body weight, after the end of the diet, fat cells begin to assimilate absolutely everything. This is necessary to restore them and create a fat depot.

As a result, such weight loss is symptomatic weight loss, and not elimination of the reasons for its gain. The ideal will be that weight loss, on which the body will not experience stress.

Vitamins for a strict diet

An obligatory component of any diet is taking multivitamin complexes. Due to an unbalanced and limited diet, the body is exposed to severe stress. A rapid loss of nutrients begins and general health worsens.

The body's need for vitamins with a rigid diet is explained by their properties:

• Accelerating the process of losing weight.
• Improving metabolic processes.
• Maintaining the health of skin, hair, nails.
• Improving overall well-being and mood.

Vitamins for losing weight:

• A - retinol deficiency is manifested by pallor of the skin, loss of strength, and deterioration of vision. Muscle mass decreases, and metabolic processes slow down. To prevent this from happening, the diet should contain dairy and by-products, vegetable oils, vegetables.
• E - tocopherol supports the protective properties of the immune system, has a beneficial effect on the endocrine system and reproductive functions. Supports lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, normalizes the nervous system and reduces stress levels. Vitamin is a part of nuts, sea buckthorn, dried apricots.
• C - ascorbic acid is a local immunostimulant. It normalizes blood cholesterol levels, affects the metabolic system, and actively removes toxins. Contained in citrus fruits, bell peppers, rose hips, black currants.
• D - takes part in the absorption of phosphorus and calcium by the intestines. These substances are necessary for strong bones, teeth, nails. You can get a dose of vitamin by walking in the sun in the summer season, as well as eating egg yolks, fish oil, and cod liver.
• B vitamins - normalize metabolic processes, improve metabolism and the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. Responsible for the processing of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. B1 improves carbohydrate metabolism and reduces appetite. B2 and B12 affect hemoglobin levels, improve memory and overall well-being. B6 normalizes blood sugar levels. Vitamins are found in meat products, offal, buckwheat, honey, seafood, nuts, eggs.
• Magnesium - stimulates metabolic processes and affects metabolism, speeding it up. Present in oatmeal, cocoa, bran.
• Omega-3 - polyunsaturated fatty acids slow down the production of stress hormones and contribute to the production of happiness hormones. Omega-3 is found in large amounts in fatty fish, red fish, and avocados.

The above useful substances must be obtained not only with food, but also in addition to take multivitamin complexes.

The choice of vitamins also depends on the type of diet. For example, on a protein diet, there is a deficiency of plant and cereal foods, so fiber and bran will be useful. Low-carbohydrate and low-fat diets cause skin degradation. Taking omega-3s will solve the problem and not affect the condition of the figure. On vegetable diets, additional intake of vitamins A, B, E is required, since plant foods are not able to compensate for their deficiency.

Complications

During the diet, the body does not receive the necessary nutrients and vitamins. Because of this, there is a risk of developing gastritis, stomach ulcers or kidney problems. Diet restrictions almost always cause weakness, apathy and headaches.

Consider the possible complications using the example of a drinking diet:

• Stool disorder (constipation gives way to diarrhea).
• Nausea and bouts of vomiting.
• Increased fatigue.
• Headaches and dizziness.
• Swelling, especially after a night's rest.
• Spots and sparks before the eyes.
• Bloating, flatulence.
• Anemia.
• White coating on the tongue.
• Rumbling in the intestines

A rigid diet is stressful for the body, therefore, with each new approach to a previously effective diet, its result will decrease. This phenomenon is called the plateau effect and indicates that the body has adapted and got used to living in conditions of a limited and low-calorie diet. In order for the diet not to lose its effectiveness, it should not be too long. The optimal duration option is 3-7 days.

What if the weight is not lost on a rigid diet?

Everyone who has been on a diet at least once has faced a problem when the weight does not go away. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, consider the main ones:

1. A sharp restriction on the calorie content of the diet. Many nutritionists recommend replacing calories rather than cutting back. For example, 500 calories from fried potatoes or fast food can be substituted for baked chicken breast with salad and fresh juice. In terms of calorie content, this is the same thing, but in the second case, healthy and wholesome food will enter the body, and not fat with carbohydrates. In addition, the second option will give you a feeling of fullness for a longer period of time.
2. Refusal of breakfast. Treat yourself to a sweet fruit or some other treat in the morning. Almost all calories are converted into energy, not fat, almost without residue. If there is no energy, then the body begins to work in a saving mode and everything that is eaten goes into the reserve. A light and tasty breakfast is an excellent prevention of excess weight and allows you not to overeat during the day.
3. Misperception of fats. Fats are not only useful, but also necessary for the body. Without them, effective weight loss and a feeling of fullness are impossible. Therefore, it is a mistake to refuse them and buy low-fat foods. Get healthy fats from vegetable oils, lean fish and meats, quality dairy products, nuts and seeds.
4. Constant hunger. A severely limited calorie and unbalanced diet leads to the fact that during the diet a person begins to gain weight. This is due to the activation of defense mechanisms. In this case, the calorie deficit is perceived as a difficult time and the body replenishes the fat depot with all its might.
5. Abuse of protein foods. The body spends a lot of energy on the assimilation of proteins, they also saturate well. If there is too much protein, then the pH, that is, the balance of the internal environment of the body, goes from alkaline to acidic. This, in turn, leads to a decrease in the activity of hormones and enzymes, a slowdown in metabolic processes. As a result, weight loss slows down, or even stops altogether. In order for the protein to be only beneficial, it should be diluted with alkalizing products - vegetables, fruits, herbs.
6. Refusal of sweets. A complete rejection of your favorite treats will sooner or later lead to a breakdown. Eat sweets in the morning and on a full stomach in order not to disrupt your diet and contribute to effective weight loss. At the same time, the calorie content of the goodies should be within 250 kcal so that it can be worked out during the day.
7. Refusal of dinner. The last meal should be 3 hours before bedtime. Not eating dinner can significantly increase your risk of overeating in the morning of the next day. It should also be borne in mind that a break between meals for more than 8 hours causes hormonal imbalance and a failure in appetite control. Make yourself a light dinner, in which case protein foods are great.

In addition to the above reasons, chronic stress can cause weight loss to stop. Stress triggers the production of the hormone cortisol, which in turn increases the number of fat cells. As a result, each meal causes the body to store fat in reserve. Learn not to seize anxiety and relax. [13]

Getting out of a strict diet

Keeping a rigid diet is difficult, but it is much more difficult not to break down after it is over. According to statistics, about 90% of people who successfully followed all the rules of the diet and even got rid of excess weight, after its completion, gain the lost pounds back, and sometimes more than before. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to properly exit the limited power system.

1. Don't relax. Despite the fact that the diet is over, you cannot pounce on various goodies and other previously contraindicated foods the next day. During weight loss, the body adapts to work in an economical mode and reduces metabolic processes. Because of this, drowsiness, fatigue, and slight irritability appear.

After the end of the rigid nutritional system, the body is still in the economy mode for a long time, so all the excess of incoming nutrients begins to be deposited in the form of fat.

2. Gradual eating. After finishing the diet, gradually increase the calorie and volume of the diet. Continue to eat foods that you used for weight loss, but increase their quantity, add new dishes.

If you adhered to a mono-diet or other system with a limited intake of vitamins, trace elements and nutrients, then first of all introduce greens, fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy products into the diet.

3. Positive attitude. To consolidate the achieved results, make it a habit to play sports. This will help keep the body fit and improve overall health. Also, do not forget about good rest and a minimum of stress.

Depending on the duration of the diet, it can take anywhere from 2 to 10 days to get out of the diet. The stricter and tougher the power supply system was, the longer and smoother the exit from it should be. The end result is that you should switch to a nutritious, healthy diet.

Reviews

There are many reviews about a variety of ways to lose weight. A strict diet is one of the most effective methods in the fight against excess weight, as it allows you to lose from 3 to 5 kg per week. But like any power supply system, it has its own advantages and disadvantages. Before starting it, you should make sure that there are no contraindications and consult your doctor. With the right choice of a diet and its end, the lost pounds will not return again.
