Japanese diet, benefits and harms of the method, as well as menus for 7 and 14 days, this will be our conversation. It should be noted that the feedback and results of those who have already experienced this miracle on themselves, as well as the opportunity to use it with equal effectiveness for both women and men, are attracting more and more people who want to get rid offrom the hated pounds to this weight loss system. The main thing is that those who consciously choose this path lose weight with a guarantee and, which is also important, do not harm their health. However, achieving a positive result is possible only in strict compliance with all the rules and recommendations of the developers of this food system.
Meaning and basic principles
Despite its name, the Japanese diet is quite adapted for Europeans and has nothing to do with the traditional cuisine of this people. Its meaning lies in the restructuring and a kind of "reset" of the body, as well as in the restoration of normal metabolism, which allows you to keep the result obtained not for a month or six months, but for 2-3 years or more.
Agree, the prospect is tempting. Yes, and special suffering will not have to endure. Of course, the procedure lasts not one day, but about two weeks, but given the long period of its guaranteed action, this is negligible.
The main principle for removing excess weight is strict and strict observance of all its rules, and the undoubted advantage is the ability not to feel hungry and to eat a variety of foods such as fish, vegetables, fruits, etc.
Expected Result
Thanks to the Japanese diet, you can lose 7-10 kg in two weeks. But it is worth remembering that an important condition for achieving the effect is the observance of proper nutrition throughout life, and not only during the cleansing period, then the weight will continue to disappear until the arrow on the scales takes the norm for eacha separate case.
Important moment!Often, exhausted by dieting, people bring their bodies to an anorexic state. The Japanese diet, in the first place, provides for the normalization of weight. That is, if a person has to weigh 56 kg, taking into account age, height, body characteristics, etc. , then he will not be able to lose up to 45 in this way.
Dietary advantages and disadvantages
It is not known for sure where this weight loss method got its name. Either it was invented in Japan, or this title was awarded in honor of the slender and healthy representatives of this nation, but it is worth acknowledging that despite the still ongoing controversy on this topic, the undoubted advantages of this method of weight loss are:
- fast weight loss;
- lack of hunger;
- gaining normal weight;
- cheerfulness and efficiency;
- stable result, which with the right attitude to nutrition lasts 2-3 years;
- relatively short-term;
- cleansing the body of toxins and toxins;
- restructuring the attitude towards food on a psychological level.
Alas, like everything in this world, even the great Japanese diet has its drawbacks. First of all, these are:
- strict dietary restrictions;
- the need to strictly follow the established rules;
- mandatory prior preparation and compliance with the rules for subsequent exit from it;
- possible side effects (read about them below).
Indications and contraindications
The weight loss method that is dedicated to this article is quite strict, so it is not suitable for everyone. First of all, "Japanese" is contraindicated:
- persons under the age of 20, as well as those who are already 50 years old (in case they have not previously practiced a similar method of weight loss);
- pregnant and lactating women;
- suffering from chronic diseases of any etiology;
- of people whose lives are associated with hard physical or hard mental work.
Others may try the proposed option and the results will be especially noticeable for those who have gained weight due to metabolic disorders, but given the eating habits of the Japanese diet, each of the experimenters can experience:
- headache;
- nausea;
- weakness and pain in bones and joints;
- general deterioration of health.
These are side effects of this weight loss system and occur due to insufficient intake of nutrients in the body, which each of us needs in different ways. You should not risk your health and start a Japanese diet by making your own decision. Do not be lazy to visit a doctor, undergo a general examination and pass the tests recommended by him. Believe me, all this will be only for your good.
Basic Japanese dietary rules
The effect of the "Japanese", which results in weight loss, is to reduce daily calorie intake and choose protein as the main "hero" of the diet, which comes into the body from chicken, beef, eggs, fish andmilk. Carbohydrates, although in a significantly reduced amount, are obtained by losing weight from vegetables, fats, crackers and more. And fiber fills the stomach and creates a feeling of satiety for a long time.
You are allowed to drink coffee and green tea, but you only need to choose a high quality product so that it can cope with the task of cleansing the body of toxins and oxidants with dignity.
It is known that the elimination of fat "deposits" is best achieved by limiting the intake of carbohydrates in the body. Then, for his normal activities, he will begin to use the stocks made over the years, and his weight will begin to decrease. In general, although a little rough, but this characterizes the Japanese diet.
However, lack of carbohydrates can lead to side effects and in case of non-compliance with the conditions of its application and menu, you can even get serious problems with the body as a "reward".
So, the basic rules of the Japanese diet are:
- mandatory prior consultation with the attending physician;
- strict adherence to the menu (changing diet days or changing foods is dangerous to health);
- drinking plenty of water in addition to coffee and tea, which will help not only to prolong the feeling of satiety, but also to quickly remove waste and digestive products from the body;
- using only high quality food and beverages;
- should start in the morning with a glass of clean water and finish the day with a meal no later than 2-3 hours before bedtime;
- You should try to avoid snacks and take main meals in 5-6 sessions.
To consolidate the result and to avoid getting a lot of stress on the body, you should avoid a sudden return to normal life (it is better to start living in a new way completely), and to facilitate the endurance of all the upcoming trials, you need to work hard and pay special attention to how to carefully enter the diet.
Proper preparation is the key to successful weight loss
The Japanese diet provides for quite serious changes in the diet, although, as any reasonable person understands, this is necessary to achieve the goal - to take the previous look and get rid of excess weight. In order for the diet to go smoothly, you need to prepare for it. This is not difficult to do.
It is enough to gradually reduce the portion of food, try to eat more vegetables and fruits, and also try to switch to 5-6 meals a day, not counting snacks.
How to get out of the diet without harming the body
What happiness after two weeks of deprivation to see the long-awaited sign on the scales. However, most of our fellow citizens are making a fatal mistake at this time. With a "sense of accomplishment", they decide to celebrate their accomplishment and organize a real celebration for body and soul, and then complain that with such difficulty the lost weight is almost immediately returned and even bring with them a few extra.
This happens because the body, having experienced stress and deprivation of the loss of its usual way of life, decides to take care of itself in case such a situation recurs and, receiving the long-awaited fats, stores them in reserve in doublequantities.
To prevent this from happening to you, be wise about your diet and following these principles:
- gradually;
- slow menu expansion;
- balance;
- rationality.
You can return to the old diet, of course, after analyzing it and making the appropriate conclusions, not earlier than 1-2 months. To do this, you need to add one product to the usual food system, which was banned during the "Japanese". You can have breakfast, but avoid plenty of fat and simple carbohydrates.
What doctors say
Often the opinion of a doctor, people who decide to change something in their lives, do not take into account and thus make a big mistake. Remember that even if you are not sure of the opinion of one specialist, no one bothers you to get advice from several, to summarize the information received and draw appropriate conclusions. Life is one and it's not worth risking it on a whim.
If we talk about the attitude to the category of unbalanced diets with high protein content, then above all it must be understood that its long-term use will lead to serious health problems. Also, you should not apply the Japanese diet more often than once every two years, especially since, in compliance with all its requirements, the result will be maintained throughout this time.
There are cases when people sit on a Japanese diet twice a year, but this is only in the case when getting rid of excess weight is vital for the patient and occurs only on the recommendation of a doctor.
In order not to experience the body deprivation and lack of nutrients, it will not hurt to take a vitamin-mineral complex. Its use should begin 7-10 days before the start of weight loss and only a doctor can choose the composition, taking into account the individual characteristics of each weight loss.
