For weight loss methods such as the apple diet, you should prepare not only physically, but also psychologically. In particular, to the fact that it is rather strict and monotonous, in connection with which difficulties may arise. Any version of a detailed menu for every day confirms this opinion, but it should not take a person who wants to lose weight by surprise.

The menu depends on the duration; in addition to a simple diet on apples, sparing versions are offered, with the inclusion of additional ingredients. They are easier to carry, but less effective in terms of weight.

As an example, consider the express version of the menu for 3 days.

  • 1 day (4 meals)

Egg omelette (2 pcs.), 100g black bread, apple.

An Apple.

Vegetable and citrus salad, 200g steam fish, apple.

Cottage cheese with yogurt (both fat-free products), apples.

  • 2 day (5 receptions)

Muesli with dried fruits and milk, apple.

An Apple.

Omelette, bread, apple.

Portion of kefir, apple.

100 g brown rice, apple + banana.

  • 3 day (5 receptions)

Cottage cheese + yogurt, bread 100g.

Baked apples with honey and cinnamon, orange juice.

Chicken or turkey meat, apple.

Kefir.

Carrot, apple, grate 50g of cheese, add raisins and yogurt.

Compliance with such a diet for 3 days helps to lose 3 to 5 kg of weight. This is an excellent result in such a time, and the diet is not as difficult to tolerate as a pure apple diet without satisfying foods.

Apple diet for 2 days

It is inconvenient to call a super short apple diet for 2 days a diet. Rather, these are fasting days, practiced not only by overweight, but also by people with normal weight who want to cleanse the body and correct the figure.

  • A diet on apples removes toxins and accumulated toxins that are present in all people, including those who lead a healthy lifestyle.

The difference is only in the number and speed of their accumulation. An apple diet or a similar program is useful to periodically carry out for each person in order to gently improve metabolism. You will need an express version before an important event in order to urgently tidy up your figure and look your best. Real plumb - up to 2kg.

  • In addition to apples, eggs are included in the diet. This is due to the interesting fact that people who eat eggs for breakfast lose two-thirds more weight than others.

And one more fact. It turns out that the dietary properties of eggs depend on the degree of heat treatment. The longer they are boiled or fried, the harder they are digested in the stomach. If soft-boiled is digested a little longer than an hour, then steep or scrambled eggs - up to 3 hours.

  • Therefore, hard-boiled eggs appear in dietary rations.

The diet for two fasting days consists of apples, eggs (up to 5 pieces per day), coffee, water, vegetable salad. In extreme cases, you can afford a slice of bread. A big plus is the lack of hunger. Satiety is provided, of course, by eggs containing enough nutritional components - both in proteins and in yolks.

Diet on apples for 3 days

A low-calorie diet on apples for 3 days helps to quickly improve a figure that is not very spoiled by extra pounds, at a time when there is no time left for gradual weight loss. The most popular among fruits, that is, apples, clean the vessels and digestive organs, affect body fat in the direction we need.

  • The diet of the apple diet, which will be discussed, includes apples and kefir.

The proportions are as follows: 0.5 cups of drink per 1 fruit. Such dosages are calculated for 5-6 times a day. When thirsty, drink plenty of water. If you do not want to drink, get by with the amount of liquid that is contained in juicy fruits and a lactic acid drink. The accumulated liquid is removed, taking with it the excess mass and slag.

  • Another three-day version of the apple diet is to lose weight with fresh juice.

The diet is effective, it gives a weight loss of 3 kg, but it is very tough: nothing but juice can be consumed these days. Another condition is the exact observance of the hourly regime. The first portion of 200 ml must be drunk at 8.00, the second - at 10.00. The remaining 5 glasses - every two hours; the last portion should be consumed at 20.00. At the end of the procedure, it is recommended to take a bath without using hygienic cosmetics.

  • To be honest, going through such a diet requires either incredibly strong motivation or willpower - combined with a love of apple juice.

Some people have a headache, stomach discomfort and an overwhelming desire to eat something specific by the second day. In this case, one should not show miracles of heroism; it is better to simply interrupt the diet, for whatever noble purpose it is intended.

Diet on apples for 5 days

If you want to lose weight with the apple diet for 5 days, be patient. And may the love of apples help you in this, because without it you cannot see success. You can’t force yourself to eat a lot, and the apple diet involves eating plenty of these fruits.

  • The first day of the diet on apples, they eat exclusively apples, only one and a half kilos in three doses.
  • Lunch on the second day is more varied: the menu additionally includes a salad, 2 carrots, a quarter of an onion. And of course, an apple. Breakfast and dinner - no change.
  • The morning of the third day is unexpectedly satisfying: it includes a piece of poultry meat, bread. Lunch and dinner - like yesterday.
  • The fourth day begins with ham and bread. The lunch menu contains fried chicken or beef and a vegetarian salad. Dinner is traditionally apple.
  • The fifth day begins with a boiled egg and bread. Lunch is a salad, boiled vegetables with beef, chicken. As a reminder, every meal includes apples, and that day's dinner completes the diet by eating apples in unlimited quantities.

All days you should maintain a drinking regimen: drink enough water, juices. After completing the program, include non-diet foods gradually, not all at once and in small quantities.

Diet on apples for 7 days

Those who want to be in shape, feel comfortable physically and mentally pay attention to the apple diet for 7 days. This is the best of the autumn diets, especially for those who love these fruits and thanks to the apple diet can combine business with pleasure. And at the output, have an excellent result - minus 7 kg in 7 days.

  • The essence of the weekly apple diet is simple: only apples are eaten during this time.

The only variety that you can afford is taste, that is, it is allowed to take fruits of various colors and flavors. How much this “relaxation” helps to overcome the monotony is a rhetorical question. The same goes for drinking: in this version of the diet diet, only water appears. No coffee, tea, cappuccino, herbal and green drinks!

  • Coffee lovers will probably not like it, but perhaps they will understand that life without invigorating drinks also exists?

However, there is also good news. For those who feel too much discomfort, it is allowed to add a little rye bread, 50g of meat per day, a serving of green tea. Experts emphasize that the most difficult are the first two days. Then the body adapts, and well-being improves.

In addition to losing weight, the apple method helps to cleanse and enrich the body with iron and folic acid. Thanks to the received components, the skin, especially women's, becomes younger and fresher.

Apple diet for 9 days

Not every technique where apples are present can be confidently called an apple diet. This is a mono-diet, where, logically, other ingredients do not prevail, but complement the apple diet.

  • Consider one of the options for an apple diet for 9 days, in the diet of which there is low-fat kefir. The maximum weight of a 9-day meal according to this scheme is 9 kg.

Unlike short-term versions, the nine-day period requires a subsequent smooth exit. Because a sharp transition to high-calorie and nutritional foods is harmful to the body, and can also quickly return the hateful kilograms “to their place”.

The system in question is three three-day cycles according to the “kefir-apples-kefir” scheme. The daily norm is 1.5 liters of drink on the first and last 3 days, 1.5 kg of fruit on the fourth, fifth, sixth days. Unsweetened tea and coffee are allowed to maintain water balance. The cyclicity is explained by the fact that kefir and apple days affect the process in different ways, and alternation is more effective:

  • Kefir regulates the intestinal microflora, contributes to the restructuring of the body into a heat-burning mode.
  • Apple satisfies appetite and cleanses the gastrointestinal tract.

Separate nutrition, experts say, is more favorable for weight loss and recovery than combining products of different groups. Although with such a low calorie diet, it would be strange not to lose weight for as many as 9 days. What is the best way to eat?

  • Kefir is drunk in small doses. It is psychologically useful to eat with a spoon, enjoying and stretching the pleasure.
  • Apples are eaten in six doses, 1 pc. Taste - by choice, and also depending on the level of acidity of the stomach.

In connection with the actual malnutrition and the likely exacerbation of chronic diseases, such diets are recommended to take place in a hospital, under the supervision of physicians. Particular attention should be paid to the diet. This is a long process, which also takes 9 days, but if properly organized, it guarantees the preservation of health and the results achieved by severe abstinence from food temptations.

Diet on apples for 10 days

Depending on the physique, weight and metabolic characteristics, a diet on apples for 10 days helps to lose weight by 5-10 kg. Its advantages are the elimination of visible signs of excess weight (edema, cellulite), the development of fractional nutrition skills, and budget.

  • The disadvantage of various modifications of apple diets is that they are not suitable for people with chronic digestive, kidney and liver problems.

The nutrition scheme for a ten-day period is alternate: the first and all subsequent unpaired days are spent practically on apples; on the second day and then every other day, the menu expands due to dietary protein products.

In the diet of unpaired days of the 10-day diet on apples - baked and fresh fruits, plus a portion of kefir for the night. Pair days are more varied:

  • Breakfast - 200 g of cottage cheese + half a baked apple with cinnamon.
  • Lunch - a serving of kefir.
  • Lunch - chicken fillet stewed with apples.
  • Snack - fresh apple.
  • Dinner - 250g of fish or seafood.

With this system, physical activity is shown: walking, yoga. After completing the diet, it is recommended not to abuse calories and the amount of food. To prevent increased appetite before each meal, you need to eat an apple or drink a glass of water.

Apple diet 2 weeks

Affordable and safe apple diet is considered in vain. After all, apples are always on sale, and many have them in their own cellars. The risks are minimal, because the product is familiar and well perceived by the body. It is no coincidence that versions of various durations have been developed, including a diet on apples for 2 weeks. On such a diet for 14 days, you can lose up to 10 kg of weight.

  • Whether everyone needs such feats is the second question, and it is up to each person to decide personally.

Apples are chosen due to the presence of components that reduce the calorie content of any products that enter the body. They write that nutritionists recently discovered these substances and were even able to calculate their properties in numbers: for example, 2 green fruits in an apple diet can “neutralize” 100 kcal.

The apple menu of the first week is very tough: only 1-2 kg of fruits and 1.5 liters of water are consumed daily. By day it looks like this: days 1, 2, 5 - one and a half kilos, days 3, 4 - 2 kg each, the rest of the days - 1 kg each.

The second week should consolidate the success achieved. Meals are fivefold, the menu is similar, but kefir and green tea are added. Each of the five meals should start with an apple, and after half an hour drink 100 ml of kefir. Other drinks should not exceed 1.5 liters.

Apples are eaten fresh, baked or mashed, which are especially useful for dinner. It also cannot be thought that their number is not limited. 1.5 kg is the optimal portion of fruit with this technique.

Apple diet for 1 month

No matter how useful ruddy apples are, a pure apple diet for 1 month is a clear overkill. It is unlikely that anyone is seriously ready to follow such a regimen, and if he tries, he will not “hold on”, because the body will definitely resist. Remind him that he needs not only vitamins and minerals, but also proteins, fats, and specific nutritional components. Therefore, in a long-term apple diet, there are certainly other products.

  • It is better to entrust a competent nutritionist to paint a diet on apples lasting a whole month.

He will definitely include all groups of useful products in the menu and warn against useless or harmful food, which is more than necessary on the shelves of modern stores. It should be said that apples are not necessarily “freshly plucked in the garden” either. That is, fresh. Very handy baked, with cinnamon or honey, in the form of mashed potatoes, which is used as a sauce for side dishes or an additive to cottage cheese.

  • In the daily menu of a person who wants to lose weight, there are fish, low-fat meat, and dairy dishes. Eggs, vegetables, black bread are allowed.
  • Under the ban - canned, including with the help of salt, products, sweets, gourmet dishes and fast food, alcoholic beverages.

Having decided on a monthly diet, you should be prepared for a deterioration in well-being in the very first days. Then, around day 4, it gets better. If the discomfort does not go away, but worsens, it is better to refuse to continue and find a more acceptable option.

Dish recipes

Unpretentious recipes are a characteristic feature of apple diets. Baked apples with cinnamon, grated or chopped salad ingredients - that's the whole processing. Or just a washed, unpeeled apple, which is included in every version of the apple diet.

  • Applesauce is made from peeled fruits cut into slices. They are poured with boiling water, grated lemon zest and juice are added. This puree can be poured over boiled rice.

Sliced apple slices are mixed with cottage cheese. The dish is ready to eat.

Grated apple and carrot are mixed and a little olive oil is added. The same apple is added to oatmeal, yogurt, rice.

So that apple nutrition is not boring, choose varieties of different tastes. Some methods insist on the use of green, sour fruits containing less sugary components. Others do not focus on color and composition, but on the quality and variety of fruits.

Often in diets we are talking about apple juice. It is clear that this should be a freshly prepared natural drink from juicy ripe fruits. It is best to make the juice yourself, before drinking or no later than a few hours after squeezing.
