Is it so good and who is contraindicated - get ready for summer before it's too late
In the spring, in all state offices, women during lunch share a secret diet that will surely help.
The main advantage of the Japanese diet for the population of our country is its availability and relative duration. No complicated and expensive materials, just two weeks of restrictions - and now you’re showcasing previously untied jeans. But to be a great geisha, you must follow the menu strictly.
Briefly about the main
The duration of the diet is 14 days. This is a low -calorie protein menu, you can practice such a diet no more than 2 times a year. The average yield from the Japanese diet is 5-8 kg in 2 weeks. This menu is not suitable for pregnant women, nursing mothers, gastritis and ulcers, as well as people with liver, kidney and heart disorders. Before starting a diet, you should consult your doctor.
Origin or speculation?
There will be nothing exotic - all the products allowed on the Japanese diet we have long known. This is a definite addition, as the risk of allergies is minimized, and the ingredients needed for cooking can be purchased at any supermarket.
It is not known exactly why this diet is called Japanese. According to some sources, it was created in a Tokyo clinic, according to others, the name is inspired by simplicity and a clear diet plan, following which gives the expected results (quite the Japanese way: act according to rules, try your best and you will be rewarded).
The Japanese diet is popular all over the world, it is characterized by simplicity in the composition and caloric content of food allowed, this also makes it relevant to the traditional diet of the Far East. Japanese nutritionist Naomi Moriyama is convinced that the youthfulness and longevity of her compatriots allows them to keep relatively small amounts of carbohydrates in the daily menu and small portion sizes.
According to Moriyama, Japanese people consume on average 25% fewer calories than the population of any other country. In Japan, for example, it is not uncommon to eat potato chips, chocolate, candy, and Japanese people generally learned about butter only in the early twentieth century from Europeans and still treat it with suspicion. That is, healthy food choices in moderation are a national feature of Japanese culture. And the 14 -day Japanese diet fully complies with this requirement, although there are formal differences with the typical diet of the average population in the Pacific.
The "Samurai" rules of the Japanese diet
The main satiating ingredients in the diet are proteins derived from chicken eggs, poultry, beef, fish and dairy products. Carbohydrates are found in crackers and some vegetables are allowed, fat is in olive oil, which is allowed to be used for cooking and salad dressings, as well as in meat and fish.
Fiber is found in abundance in vegetables and fruits, the amount of which is not controlled on some days of the diet, so the stomach will most likely do its job well. Coffee and green tea not only keep you energized, but also contain healthy antioxidants (which is why it is important to choose high -quality tea and coffee, always natural, without flavorings and additives).
However, such a diet still can not be called balanced, and following it for more than two weeks is dangerous to health. But even in these 14 days, your body may react badly to the reduction in the amount of carbohydrates on the menu: in this case, you will feel body aches, weakness and headaches. Then you need to smoothly leave the strict menu and consult a doctor.
The drinking regime on the Japanese diet is very important. Drink plenty of pure non -carbonated water at room temperature to not only help the stomach feel full, but also ensure the removal of processed animal protein.
The main condition for the success of the Japanese diet is strict adherence to its plan. You can’t confuse the day and, at will, replace one product with another, even a similar one. The only exception can be, perhaps, only morning coffee - it can be replaced with a cup of green tea without sugar. It is advisable to reject salt throughout the duration of the diet, but if this prohibition is important to your taste buds, add salt to the food minimally.
A small amount of food per day (only three instead of the healthier 5-6) and no snacks can also be difficult on the Japanese diet, be prepared for this. Have dinner at least a few hours before bedtime, and start the morning with a glass of water on an empty stomach - this is great for metabolism and allows you to withstand the lack of breakfast better.
Since the Japanese diet is strict, it is highly undesirable to enter it from bay-floundering. If you decide to lose weight on such a menu, set yourself psychologically and prepare your body, at least a few days before the start of the diet, stop sweets, fast food and reduce the size of regular portions.

Menu for the rugged
The composition of the Japanese diet is often compared to a "chemical diet" - a meal plan created by American physician Osama Hamdiy to treat obesity in diabetics.

As a result, the chemistry of the body’s metabolic processes is rebuilt, accumulated fat is burned quickly, and strengthened muscles prevent new ones from forming.

Fast does not mean good
It should be noted that among experts there is also the opinion that the diet that has the name most often does not work or even harmful. Endocrinologist and nutritionist Irina Tatarnikova says that weight loss should be gradual, and cardinal hypocaloric diet in itself leads to damage and can even lead to depression. The fact is that a person starts scolding himself for weakness, but in fact his diet is not balanced.
"Here, a diet with a very low amount of calories is used, starvation, for which a person is not prepared. Therefore, extreme methods are effective only in the early stages, but then there will be damage - and the weight will return with revenge, experts say.
Nutritionists also explain that for most people, long pauses between main meals, such as skipping breakfast, will lead to overeating during dinner.
- Do not try to lose weight - in general, you should forget this phrase, because try - from the word "torture", and lose weight - from the word "bad. " By saying this, we are not setting ourselves up for weight loss. positive, nutritionists conclude. Irina advises thinking that by limiting ourselves without fanaticism, we first of all make ourselves healthier.
