Miraculous diet
And now the most important thing is the diet "Lose weight by 5 kg per week".
Breakfast consists of 2 stages:
- The first dish is freshly squeezed orange juice (30 minutes after water! ).
- The second dish is fruit salad with yogurt. It can be made with tangerines, apples, oranges or pears. For 1 serving we take 3 fruits, which we cut into cubes and fill with yogurt with a fat content of 1-2%.
Yogurt should not contain starch. This product does not contribute at all to weight loss. Probably the opposite is true.
Lunch will consist of vegetable salad. You can use many different vegetables depending on your taste. The only taboo is that potatoes are the worst enemy of a good silhouette. You should also forget about salt. But you can season the salad with lemon juice and vegetable oil. It is best to take the oil of the first cold press, and the vegetables are fresh. Such a salad will not only help correct weight, but also saturate the body with useful substances.
A portion of salad should not exceed 1 plate.
Between lunch and dinner, you are allowed to drink several glasses of kefir 1-2%. But do not forget that kefir is also food. And before eating, you should drink clean water.
- Dinner should be at 6 pm at the latest. It should also consist of a fruit salad.
- If you feel hungry between meals, drink it with water.
- It is also good to go to bed before 12 at night.
Correct the result
It is very important that the result achieved in a week is not lost in the next 2-3 days of "eating". To do this, you need to abandon the diet gradually, adding low-calorie protein foods to salads. Low-fat sour milk cheese is ideal for fruit, boiled meat (fish, mushrooms, eggs) and a side dish with buckwheat, rice and other cereals are ideal for vegetables. Replace white bread with rye or better exclude it altogether, just like pasta and potatoes. If you can not live without these foods, eat them separately from protein foods in small portions once a day.
