Now we will present you with three original diets, so that you have more space for reflection and a firm decision on what to choose. We will also discuss the pros and cons of the diets offered to you.
The pros and cons of diets are varied, choose your diet
[ 1 ]
Movie Diet
Famous people from the cinema and theatre have been following this diet since the 60s, so we suggest you take a look at it.
Principles of the Cinema Diet
The diet lasts only 12 days. If you like it, repeat the diet three weeks after its completion. The result is obvious, because the fame of many actors depended on their appearance.
Diet menu
The first three days are spent rejuvenating the body – we drink kefir.
It is advisable to buy a domestic rooster (unless you raise it yourself, of course), then boil it and eat it without the skin. Do this for three days.
The next three days are called "vitamin days". You need to drink only green apple juice (without adding sugar), or eat apples.
The last three days will be like a reward from above. You will have to eat low-fat cheese and drink dry red wine. If a day of some product comes, eat as much of it as you like, do not strive to feel hungry. You can also drink as much water as you want.
Pros of the diet
If you stick to the diet, you lose up to 10 kilograms of fat. There is only one pressing question left: how not to gain the same weight again?
Negative aspects of the diet
Over the course of six days, the body loses weight through protein nutrition – the Atkins method, with all that entails. Then the body becomes dehydrated, and this is where the next amount of fat deposits disappears.
It is difficult to find any beneficial aspects in this diet, except for rapid weight loss. The body loses weight quickly, and will regain it just as quickly after the diet. If health does not fail.
Chocolate Diet
This diet was invented in Spain in the 90s. Now it has become even more popular.
The principle of the chocolate diet
If you drink 5 cups of coffee (without adding sugar) during the day, diluting it with dry milk, with 80 grams of dark chocolate, there is a chance to lose weight (note) in the first day from 1 to 3 kilograms.
Benefits of the Chocolate Diet
Losing weight is not a myth, this diet really does help you lose weight.
Disadvantages of this diet
- This mono-diet, like other mono-diets, disrupts the metabolic process in the body and worsens health.
- Excess weight disappears precisely because of dehydration of body cells, and coffee additionally depletes and dries.
- Blood pressure may rise due to such a fatal combination of coffee and chocolate. If you are hypertensive, you may have health problems.
Kefir diet
Despite the widespread use of the kefir diet, it seems to be invisible.
The good and the bad of the kefir diet
People are accustomed to the fact that if a diet includes such a simple and ancient product as kefir, then the diet must depend only on kefir and nothing else.
- Kefir is really good for the body. It strengthens your blood vessels, normalizes the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, strengthens the immune system, and also very effectively removes toxins from the body. To this we can add that the level of cholesterol in the blood decreases precisely thanks to kefir.
- Kefir is a great hangover cure and rejuvenates and tones a person. It is enough to drink 1.5 liters of kefir a day, and you will be in good shape. Kefir goes well with fruits (for those with a strong stomach) and leads to weight loss. It really works.
- It is impossible to argue with the fact that drinking kefir while following a kefir diet is a safe option, but no one can say for sure how useful such a diet will be.
The topic: "the pros and cons of diets" is considered closed. Have a good mood, dear readers.
