Water diet. Menu for 3 days, weekly, photos, reviews and results

The water diet is based on special principles, and its rules allow you to consume foods that are strictly prohibited in other diets to lose weight. According to reviews of people who follow this diet, it is much easier to adhere to. In addition, it allows you to improve the general condition of the body, and the results are no different from other diets.

Essence and basic principles

The water diet is based on the influence of water on the human body. Her mainthe principle is that drinking water fills the stomach and a large amount of food will not enter there. Therefore, in order to lose weight with this method, before each meal, half an hour before, you should drink 1 glass of liquid. In this case, you must refrain from drinking water for at least 120 minutes after eating.

This is necessary in order for digestion to take place faster due to the release of gastric juice, while the entry of liquid into the stomach will slow down this process. This will also relieve the feeling of heaviness in the digestive tract.

It is essential that meals are not mixed with water,that is, after drinking water, at least 20 minutes must pass before eating. It should also be remembered that drinking any other liquid, juice, tea or coffee, is considered a full meal.

Water on such a diet cannot be replaced by anything else. Adhering to the basic principles of the diet will allow you to lose weight in a few weeks, and the result will be more noticeable if you have a lot of excess weight.

The water diet was developed by several nutritionists and was tested on a group of subjects. According to the results of the study, it was found that following the rules of such a diet guarantees the removal of extra pounds. However, to achieve maximum effect, you must adhere to some dietary restrictions.

In addition, there are contraindications for using a water diet, which you must familiarize yourself with in order not to harm the body. The use of such restrictions is especially dangerous for people suffering from pathologies of the excretory system, as well as during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

The water diet is based on the following principles:

1. Metabolic processes in the body can be accelerated by drinking 1 glass of water before eating. This helps to increase the burning rate of stored fat.
2. Plain water without gas has a calorie content of 0, and suppresses the feeling of hunger well.
3. The technique of nutrition on water helps to normalize the work of the digestive system and other body systems. In turn, the adequate functioning of the body improves the condition of the skin.
4. Still water helps improve human performance due to its tonic properties.

So, thanks to the general principles of the water diet, a person not only gets rid of excess weight, but also heals his body and improves his appearance.

Indications for use

The water diet, whose reviews say that it helps you lose up to 10 kg per month, is not only intended for weight loss. Also, its respect helps in slowing down the aging of the organism, thereforeThis diet is recommended for those who suffer from "drying" of the body,which refers to age-related fluid deficiency.

With age, the part of the brain that is responsible for the feeling of thirst begins to send and process signals more slowly, so the amount of water taken in is also less. Due to this, a lack of water begins to develop in the body, which in turn causes weakness and drying of organs and skin.

You can determine the need for a water diet as follows: you need to go to the mirror and in every place where there are no wrinkles, try to gather the skin into a fold. If the crease easily merges and creates wrinkles, we can conclude that the skin is dehydrated.

Also, after the crease is released, the skin will slowly return to its previous shape and a trail will be left that slowly passes. If the described results were obtained during the experiment, then you should use a water diet to restore the level of moisture in the body.

In addition, by following a water diet, you can get rid of extra pounds. However, it is worth considering that losing a small amount of weight is much more difficult. Therefore, if you have 2-3 extra kilograms, it is better to choose another diet, while this diet and drinking regimen will help you get rid of 10 kg.

Before going to bed, you can drink 1 glass of low-fat kefir to normalize the work of the stomach. The diet can be interrupted every day, following the rules for exiting it.

Consolidate the result

Water diet, reviews of which speak of good weight loss results, as well as others, need a proper way out of it, because it can consolidate the result. Different types of water diets have different exit methods.

After such a diet, which includes only taking large amounts of liquid and permitted food, you need to go outside, gradually expanding your diet. It is necessary to return to the regular menu in the same period of time in which you followed the diet.

There is also a water mono-diet, which involves only drinking liquids for several days.It can be called fasting. It is more difficult to abandon such a diet, because the body adapts to such a diet and restores the metabolic process. The longer you adhere to such a diet, the more carefully you must approach its termination.

After 48 hours of fasting, it is necessary to go out for 4 days. In this case, the body has not yet had time to restore itself, and stopping the diet will not be difficult. It is necessary to gradually include in your diet first squeezed juices, then fruits and vegetables, milk, fresh cheese, sour cream, and after 4 days you can start with a regular diet.

When you starve for more than 3 days, the body already has time to start renewing itself and receive the necessary nutrients from its internal reserves, so the functioning of the digestive system may be inadequate. It takes at least 10 days to get out of this state in order to normalize the work of the internal organs.

Every day, you must include foods in your diet in the following order:

1. Fresh juice.
2. Raw carrot and white cabbage salad.
3. Vegetable stew.
4. Fermented milk products.
5. Cereals cooked in milk or water.
6. Lean meat (you can cook it in steam, oven or grill).

Starting from the 7th day of release, you can combine all allowed products, and after 3 days return to your usual diet. Also, intensive physical activity is not recommended when leaving the diet, you can warm up or exercise. Adhering to these rules will help you complete the diet properly and thus ensure its results.

When to expect the effect

Reviews about the water diet promise quick results, but it all depends on the individual characteristics of the body.

The effect of following the rules of such a diet depends on several factors:

• initial weight;
• the number of kilograms you need to get rid of;
• metabolic characteristics.

Those who need to lose more weight lose weight better.If a person has 1 to 3 extra kilograms, it is better to completely abandon the water diet, because it will not bring results. You can lose 5 to 10 kg in 30-60 days and more than 10 kg in 25-30 days.

However, it is worth remembering that you cannot follow such a diet for more than a month.therefore, to achieve the desired effect, you will need to run it several times. After a month of liquid intake, you should stop the diet and take a break of 30-40 days, then start again. This is necessary so that you do not harm your health by overloading the excretory system.

A water diet can free a person from excess weight, without forcing him to adhere to strict restrictions. However, there are still rules, the observance of which will help improve the effect of losing weight and will not harm the health of the body.

This technique also has contraindications, so before you follow the drinking regime, you need to read reviews and consult with a nutritionist.
