Skipping breakfast, taking cold showers and drinking coffee can help you lose weight in 6 weeks without any problems, and significantly improve the condition of your hair, nails and skin, says Venice A. Fulton, the creator of the Six Weeks To OMG nutrition program. He shares his thoughts on the pages of his book of the same name.

Following the suggested regimen, it is quite possible to minimize the appearance of cellulite and lose up to 9 kilograms of fat. Fulton is against the popular belief that frequent, small meals are beneficial. He believes that the best option is three meals a day.

True, instead of a regular breakfast, he suggests organizing a meal later - at 10 o'clock in the morning, thereby speeding up the metabolism. "Back in 2000, nutritionists from France proved that a simple breakfast, which consists of toast, yogurt and fruit, prevents fat burning during the next day," explains Fulton.

But it is possible to deal with cellulite with the help of cold baths and coffee. He is convinced that cold water has a positive effect on metabolism. It is worth noting that the list of "dangerous products" that cause obesity includes fruit juices, cocktails and even broccoli.

And here are the products that burn fat that are included in the list:

Red fish

Red fish is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are necessary for normal heart function, reduce inflammation in the body and help get rid of excess weight by regulating the "hunger" hormone leptin. Try to eat a dish with red fish at least once a week.

Edge fish (salmon)

Coffee

Studies have shown that the caffeine in your morning cup of coffee can help us perform more vigorous workouts, which helps us shed extra pounds. Rich in antioxidants, coffee also reduces the risk of Parkinson's disease, diabetes, and cancer.

Eggs

Eggs contain many nutrients, vitamins B and C. People who prefer eggs for breakfast lose twice as many kilograms and are energized for the whole next day compared to those who do not eat them.

Walnuts

Walnuts are high in protein, omega 3 fatty acids, and unsaturated fats. Walnuts keep you full longer than regular snacks that don't contain as much protein and "healthy" fats. All you need is a handful of nuts.

Grapefruit

Don't make grapefruit the basis of your diet. But remember that obese people who ate half a grapefruit or drank a glass of grapefruit juice every day lost about 1.5 kg in 12 weeks.

Green tea

Green tea improves your metabolism and helps you lose weight.

Water

Water moisturizes the human body and eliminates the mistaken perception of thirst for hunger - a common problem for those who are on a diet. If you are not able to accurately determine whether you are hungry or thirsty? First, drink a glass of water, and then decide.

Chili pepper

Chili peppers contain a substance called capsaicin, which increases metabolism and burns excess calories.

Beans

Rich in plant fiber and protein, beans are a low-calorie, low-fat food that helps maintain healthy weight and blood glucose levels.

Beans

Tofu

Tofu is a low-calorie vegetarian source of protein that helps you lose weight by speeding up your metabolism, even if your eating habits remain the same.

Tofu

Apples

The habit of "one apple every day" will help you lose weight. Eating an apple after any meal will stabilize your blood glucose levels, so you won't feel hungry for a long time.

Blackberry

Pour a cup of cereal into a bowl and add a cup of blackberries. See how delicious it is. Rich in plant fibers, blackberries will help to satisfy hunger very quickly. Another plus: blackberries contain more antioxidants than any other fruit.

Blackberry

Flax-seed

Flaxseed has a chemical structure related to estrogen. Therefore, it stabilizes insulin levels in the blood, reducing the risk of obesity and diabetes. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flaxseed on a slice of bread or in yogurt.

Bon appetit!
