Types of rigid diets for fast weight loss

In order to lose 10-20 kg per month, you need to radically change your diet, lead an active lifestyle and play sports. In order not to harm the body, weight loss should be approached wisely and have real willpower. The basis for weight loss is a strict diet. A properly composed menu will contribute to the elimination of not only excess fluid from the body, but fat and glycogen.

The main rules for losing weight:

1. Calorie deficiency.
2. Regular physical activity to expend energy.
3. Adequate sleep and rest.

Reducing the daily calorie intake significantly will slow down your metabolism and your weight loss process will be slower. Excessive physical activity causes excess cortisol production and water retention. Because of this, body weight increases. A lack of sleep and rest leads to the production of a stress hormone that disrupts lipolysis. Most often, dietary meals are designed for a month or less.

Features of fast weight loss:

• Effective weight loss.
• Possibility to choose the most suitable menu.
• Due to the reduced diet, the body begins to suffer from a deficiency of fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals.
• The constant feeling of hunger negatively affects the general well-being, as well as the condition of the stomach and intestines.
• A rigid diet and sudden weight loss can cause headaches and dizziness, nausea, heartburn, weakness, constipation, and emotional instability.

Popular strict nutritional systems that are suitable for weight loss of 10, 20 kg:

1. 5 tablespoons - the daily diet is cut by 20-50%. This is necessary to accelerate metabolism and improve metabolic processes. Portions begin to be cut 2 weeks before the diet. At first, you should learn to be saturated with 7-8 tablespoons, gradually bringing the portion to 5 tablespoons per day. It is recommended to adhere to this technique for 30 days.
2. Low-calorie - no more than 1000 kcal can be consumed per day. Foods should be nutritious but low in calories. The number of approaches to the table is not limited, as is the choice of products.
3. Ducan's diet - consists of several phases, each of which is designed for a certain period of time. The first phase "Attack" - the main diet should be protein foods, that is, seafood, eggs, fish, meat. The duration of the attack is 10 days, and the weight loss is from 3 to 5 kg. The second stage is called "Cruise", protein days alternate with protein-vegetable days. The duration of such a diet is 30 days, and weight loss is up to 15 kg.

The last phase is "Consolidation". The menu is gradually expanding, adding pasta, potatoes, bread, berries. Moreover, every Thursday you should arrange a fasting day, eating only protein foods. Fastening lasts 7 days. At each stage, you need to eat 1.5 tablespoons of bran. After consolidation, the “Stabilization” phase begins, which lasts throughout life and is based on the principles of healthy eating.

4. Drinking - all food consumed must be of a liquid consistency. The basis of the diet is broths from low-fat varieties of meat or fish, green tea, unsweetened compote, fresh juices, kefir. The diet is kept for several days and only after consultation with the attending physician. Refusal of solid food for a long period of time is contraindicated, as it can harm the digestive organs.

Regardless of the method chosen, while losing weight, foods high in fat and sources of fast carbohydrates are prohibited. Fatty meats and fish, salt, sugar, hot spices, sauces, fatty dairy products, potatoes, pastries, carbonated and alcoholic drinks, strong tea and coffee, fruits and berries with a high sugar content should be excluded from the diet.

In order for the lost weight not to return, you should correctly exit from a limited diet. First of all, you should not overeat. You need to eat in small portions 5-6 times a day. Various flavors should be excluded from the menu. Natural vegetable oils, fresh herbs, dried herbs can be added to dishes. It is better to steam, bake and boil food. Do not forget about maintaining the water balance - at least 2 liters of water per day.

Before starting to lose weight, one should take into account the presence of such contraindications: diseases of the cardiovascular and urinary system, infectious and inflammatory processes in the body, pregnancy and lactation, problems with the digestive tract, endocrine pathologies, anemia, metabolic disorders, depletion of the body.

 

Indications

Many people who dream of losing weight with minimal effort resort to rather extreme methods. These include a tough diet for quick weight loss. Most often, it is started before a special date when it is necessary to lose 2-3 kg.

Approximate food menu for one day:

• Breakfast: 100 g of low-fat cottage cheese, an apple.
• Snack: a glass of vegetable juice or water.
• Lunch: 200 g of boiled chicken breast, fresh Chinese cabbage.
• Dinner: a glass of fat-free kefir.

Such a limited, but balanced diet will allow you to get rid of 1.5-3 kg in 3-5 days without harm to the body.

There is a stricter diet for fast weight loss. This is a drinking regimen. The basis of the diet is freshly squeezed juices, water, low-fat kefir, chicken broth. It should be borne in mind that it is almost impossible to maintain the new weight. Since its decrease is caused by empty intestines and stomach, and not by the loss of body fat.

A rigid nutritional system for fast weight loss slows down metabolic processes, so fluid and intestinal contents are excreted from the body, and not fat. This method is suitable if you do not plan to save the result of your efforts. For high-quality and long-term results, you should eat a healthy diet that allows you to lose up to 3 kg per month.

General information Types of rigid diets for fast weight loss

To date, many options have been developed for strict diets that promote rapid weight loss. The duration of such food should be no more than three days. If it is designed for a longer period of time, then it must be supplemented with the intake of multivitamin preparations to prevent the deficiency of useful vitamins, minerals and trace elements in the body.

Consider the most popular options for hard eating patterns:

1. Low carbohydrate - food with a limited calorie diet. The allowed amount of carbohydrates is about 60 g per day. While losing weight, you should drink plenty of water, while juices, alcohol and carbonated drinks are prohibited. The duration of this regime is 3-5 days.
2. The Model Diet is one of the toughest eating options since there is no supper. Allows you to get rid of 3 kg of excess weight. Any spices and sauces, sugar, salt, alcohol, flour are prohibited. The basis of the menu should be low-calorie protein products.
3. Protein-carbohydrate - the daily food intake is designed for 5 meals. The diet is followed for 7 days, repeating the same diet daily. The daily calorie content should not exceed 1500 kcal.
4. Brazilian - lasts for 14 days and allows you to lose 5 kg of weight. The diet consists of three compulsory meals, snacks are prohibited. The basis of the menu should be foods rich in protein, vegetables, fruits, boiled chicken and beef.
5. Tokyo is a rather extreme mode, designed for 6 days. The daily diet consists of a kilogram of tobacco chicken meat and 2 liters of water. With such a diet, you can lose up to 5 kg of weight.

Any diet in which the daily calorie content does not exceed 1200-1500 kcal can be called a rigid diet. A similar approach to the problem of excess weight allows you to get rid of 3-5 kg. But after the end of the limited diet, there is a risk of gaining not only lost, but also additional kilograms. [1]

Hard drinking diet

Drinking diet is rightfully considered one of the most stringent, but at the same time and effective methods of dealing with obesity.

Features of weight loss on the water:

• The load on the digestive organs is reduced.
• The body is cleansed.
• The functioning of internal organs is restored.
• Weight is reduced.

The drinking regimen requires real willpower and endurance. It is suitable for people who eat on the go, abuse junk food and snacks. Limited nutrition allows you to develop correct eating habits and improve the functioning of the digestive system.

The first days of water weight loss are a test for the body, since solid food is prohibited and hunger has to be satisfied with liquid dishes, or rather natural juices, broths and water. Because of this, mood worsens, fatigue and severe hunger appear. But the situation changes dramatically starting from the third day. Adaptation processes are launched in the body, that is, a restructuring occurs. Thanks to this, the feeling of hunger is muted, the mood improves, but weakness and fatigue may remain.

According to the duration, the drinking system for losing weight is daily, weekly and monthly. The first option is a fasting day for the body. Life on the water for a week or a month requires a right start. To do this, you should gradually switch to liquid food so that the body does not experience stress during weight loss. [2]

The mechanism of action of the diet:

• During the first week, surface cleaning processes are launched in the body.
• In the second week, toxins from the kidneys and liver begin to be eliminated.
• And the third and fourth weeks trigger changes at the cellular level.

This mechanism of action of the drinking regime helps to cleanse the body and normalize body weight. The stomach decreases in size, which will allow you to eat less food in the future and fill up faster.

A rigid water diet has a huge list of contraindications and can cause side reactions. Particular attention should be paid to the correct exit. The return to the usual diet should be smooth, lasting twice as long as the process of losing weight.

Maintaining the achieved result is problematic, therefore, one should approach the diet with great responsibility. It should also be borne in mind that during the process of losing weight, the body will be in a state of stress and deficiency of nutrients. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to take multivitamin and mineral complexes, as well as consultation with a nutritionist and therapist.

Hard protein diet

One of the most popular and tough weight loss eating systems is the protein diet. It is designed for people with an active lifestyle. Since the best weight loss results are observed in people with regular physical activity (at least three times a week). At the same time, there are many food options for the duration, but most often it is 14 days. [3]

Basic rules of protein nutrition:

1. Fractional meals (at least 6 times a day).
2. The last meal should be 2-3 hours before bedtime.
3. Alcohol and carbonated drinks are contraindicated.
4. Foods should be low in fat and carbohydrates.

Allowed Products:

• Skinless chicken and turkey meat.
• Low-fat fish and seafood.
• By-products.
• Low-fat dairy products.
• Egg whites.
• Vegetables and fruits.
• Whole grain breads and cereals.

The dietary diet involves avoiding foods high in carbohydrates and fat. The menu should be dominated by protein products, along with vegetables, fruits and herbs, which are a source of fiber, vitamins and minerals. You must drink at least two liters of water per day. Calorie content should be within 1200 kcal per day. [4]

Like any hard diet, protein has contraindications:

• Diseases of the cardiovascular system.
• Liver pathology and renal dysfunction.
• Pregnancy and lactation.
• Diseases of the joints.
• Diseases of the digestive system.
• The risk of thrombosis in the elderly.

The benefits of protein weight loss are that there is no feeling of hunger, since protein-rich foods take a long time to digest. General fatigue and weakness are extremely rare. A complex renewal of the body takes place. Since fiber-rich foods are on the menu, bowel disruption is unlikely. Despite the low rate of weight loss, the results achieved are maintained over a long period of time. [5]

Strict buckwheat diet

Another popular and affordable rigid food system is the buckwheat diet . It is based on the use of only buckwheat porridge or its combination with other ingredients. The high result of weight loss is due to the beneficial properties of cereals. It supplies the body with substances that contribute to a high-quality bowel cleansing.

Buckwheat has a unique composition:

• Complex Carbohydrates, Natural Sugars and Starch - Provides energy and keeps you feeling full for an extended period of time.
• Plant protein is a building block for muscle tissue.
• Amino acids (arginine, lysine) and fatty, citric, oxalic acids affect metabolic processes at the cellular level, accelerate them.
• Vitamins, minerals, trace elements - supply the body with useful substances.
• Fiber - Provides regular bowel cleansing.

The nutritional value of buckwheat porridge is 350 kcal per 100 g. Slow carbohydrates are broken down for a long time, providing a gradual release of glucose. During the digestion process, no residues are formed that can be deposited in fat, as with fast carbohydrates from confectionery or sweets. [6]

Useful properties of buckwheat for the body:

• Strengthens the immune system.
• Normalizes the work of the digestive tract and liver.
• Reduces the amount of bad cholesterol.
• Improves blood circulation.
• Promotes gentle elimination of toxins, toxins and decay products from the body.
• Reduces puffiness and heartburn.
• Improves the condition of the skin.
• Boosts immunity.
• Improves the functions of the whole body.

During a tough buckwheat diet, porridge is not boiled, but prepared in a special way. A glass of cereal is thoroughly washed and poured into a bowl with a tight lid. The washed buckwheat is poured with 2 cups of boiling water and wrapped overnight. For breakfast, the porridge will be ready, if there is excess water, then it can be drained. [7]

Weight loss options on buckwheat:

1. The classic mono diet is the strictest and most effective method for dealing with excess weight. During the day, you can eat an unlimited amount of porridge with clean water. The duration of such a meal is 3-14 days. The exit is smooth with a further transition to fractional proper nutrition.
2. Buckwheat and green tea - the cereals are steamed and strong green tea is prepared, to which you can add fresh ginger and lemon. In addition to tea, you must drink at least 2 liters of clean water. Duration of the diet is 3 days.
3. Buckwheat-kefir - this nutritional system has a beneficial effect on digestion, improves skin tone and improves the nervous system of the robot. The groats can be steeped in kefir (pour over and leave overnight) or washed down with a glass of drink during each meal.
4. Protein-buckwheat - steamed groats are combined with low-fat cottage cheese, boiled or baked chicken breast, egg whites. Duration of weight loss is 7-14 days.
5. Buckwheat with vegetables and fruits is a nutritious method of fighting excess weight, which allows you to lose 2-4 kg per week and not gain weight back. Groats are combined with vegetable salads, fresh and baked vegetables.
6. Buckwheat with dried fruits - dry fruits are a source of glucose and vitamins, which greatly facilitates well-being during weight loss. The groats are steamed, and dried fruits are finely chopped and mixed with porridge. You can consume no more than 100 g of dried fruits per day. This technique is followed from 3 to 10 days.
7. Buckwheat with soy sauce is great for those who find it difficult to stick to the classic bland mono diet. For effective results, choose a quality soy sauce that contains only beans, malt, salt and water. The groats are steamed, and the sauce is added before use. You can take no more than 15-20 g of sauce per day.

Despite all the benefits of buckwheat, a strict diet has several disadvantages:

• Strict restrictions - you can only eat steamed buckwheat, water, tea and other designated products. Because of this, the body suffers from a deficiency of nutrients.
• Addiction of the body - the maximum duration of weight loss should not exceed 14 days, since a longer period slows down the process of losing weight.
• Deterioration of general well-being - weakness, increased fatigue, headaches, decreased blood pressure appear. Exacerbation of chronic diseases is also possible.

A tough buckwheat menu is contraindicated in diabetes mellitus, gastrointestinal diseases, menopause, renal failure, depression, during pregnancy and lactation, after recent abdominal surgery. A restricted food system is prohibited for children and adolescents, as well as anyone whose work requires constant concentration of attention or increased physical exertion.

The return to the usual diet should be smooth. You should gradually add your favorite foods to the menu, while eliminating junk food. It is very important not to overeat, to maintain water balance and physical activity. [8]

A strict carbohydrate-free diet

One of the tough, yet comfortable, weight- loss eating plans is a carbohydrate-free diet . Its essence is based on the reduction of calories consumed through carbohydrates, not fat. The basis of the menu is protein products and maintenance of water balance. [9], [10]

Principles of a strict low-carb diet:

• Reducing intake of slow and complex carbohydrates.
• Each serving should be rich in protein and fiber.
• You need to eat fractionally, in small portions, without overeating.
• Breakfast should be within an hour after waking up, and the last meal two to three hours before bedtime.
• Sweets, starchy foods, fast food, semi-finished products, by-products are completely excluded from the diet.
• The water balance should be maintained - at least 1.5 liters of water per day.

Lean meat is in the first place in terms of protein content. Therefore, you should include boiled chicken, turkey, beef in the diet. Canned and smoked meat, sausages, sausages, wieners are prohibited. Low-fat fish, eggs, legumes are allowed. Do not forget about fiber-rich vegetables, fruits, herbs. Vegetables can be eaten fresh, baked or steamed. The menu should include low-fat dairy products, soft and hard cheese, a small amount of vegetable oil. [11], [12]

The advantage of a rigid carbohydrate-free system is that a limited amount of carbohydrates allows you to control the production of the hormone insulin. A large intake of carbohydrates leads to the release of insulin, which slows down, and in some cases completely stops the process of fat burning. The increased production of insulin converts carbohydrates into fat cells and fat. A limited amount of carbohydrates avoids the release of insulin into the bloodstream, due to which fat is broken down more actively. [13], [14]

Hard rice diet

Rice is a product rich in B vitamins, essential amino acids, gamma-aminobutyric acid, iodine, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, lecithin. 100 g of cereal contains 323 kilocalories, which does not interfere with its use in the fight against excess weight.

• Dried fruits.
• Side dishes based on zucchini and cauliflower.
• Green tea.
