In addition, it also allows you to improve the general condition of the body, and the results are no different from those of other diets.

Essence and basic principles

The water diet is based on the effect of water on the human body. Your most importantThe principle is that drinking water fills the stomach and no large amount of food enters there. Therefore, to lose weight using this method, you should drink 1 glass of liquid half an hour before each meal. In this case, you must avoid water for at least 120 minutes after eating.

This is necessary so that digestion occurs faster due to the release of gastric juice, while the entry of liquid into the stomach slows down this process. This also relieves the feeling of heaviness in the digestive tract.

Basically, it is important that meals are not mixed with water,That is, after drinking water it is necessary that at least 20 minutes pass before eating. Also remember that drinking any other liquid, be it juice, tea or coffee, counts as a complete meal.

Water cannot be replaced with anything else in such a diet. If you follow the basic principles of the diet, you can lose weight in a few weeks, and the result will be more noticeable if you have a lot of excess weight.

The water diet was developed by several nutritionists and tested on a group of test subjects. According to the results of the study, it was found that compliance with the rules of such a diet guarantees the elimination of excess weight. However, to achieve the maximum effect, you must adhere to some dietary restrictions.

In addition, there are contraindications to a water diet that you need to familiarize yourself with so as not to cause harm to the body. The application of such restrictions is especially dangerous for people suffering from diseases of the excretory system, as well as during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

The water diet is based on the following principles:

1. Metabolic processes in the body can be accelerated by drinking 1 glass of water before meals. This helps increase the rate of fat burning.
2. Ordinary water without gas has a calorie content of 0, while it suppresses the feeling of hunger well.
3. The water diet technique helps to normalize the functioning of the digestive system and other body functions. Adequate functioning of the body in turn improves the condition of the skin.
4. Due to its tonic properties, still water contributes to improving human performance.

So, thanks to the general principles of the water diet, a person not only gets rid of extra pounds, but also heals his body and improves his appearance.

Instructions for use

The water diet, reviews of which say that it helps to lose weight up to 10 kg per month, is intended not only for weight loss. In addition, its adherence helps to slow down the aging of the bodyThis diet is recommended for those who suffer from "dehydration" of the body.which indicates age-related dehydration.

As we age, the part of the brain responsible for feeling thirsty begins to send and process signals more slowly, so water intake decreases. Because of this, a lack of water begins to develop in the body, which in turn leads to weakness and dehydration of the organs and skin.

You can determine the need for a water diet as follows: you need to go to the mirror and, in a place where there are no wrinkles, try to pull the skin together in a fold. If the fold easily joins together and forms wrinkles, we can conclude that the skin is dehydrated.

In addition, after the fold is released, the skin slowly returns to its previous shape, leaving a slowly passing spot. If the described results were achieved during the experiment, you should use a water diet to restore moisture levels in the body.

In addition, a water diet allows you to lose excess weight. However, it should be borne in mind that it is much more difficult to lose a small amount of kilograms. So if you have 2-3 kilos more, it is better to choose another diet, while this diet and drinking regime will help get rid of 10 kg.

Before going to bed, you are allowed to drink 1 glass of low-fat kefir to normalize stomach function. The diet can be interrupted on any day, provided the exit rules are followed.

Consolidate the result

The water diet, reviews of which, like others, speak of good results in losing weight, requires a proper exit, as this can consolidate the result. Different types of water diets have different exit methods.

After such a diet, which involves consuming only large amounts of liquid and permitted foods, you need to go out and gradually expand your diet. You must return to the regular menu within the same period that you were on the diet.

There is also a water mono-diet, which involves drinking only liquid for several days.You can call it fasting. It is more difficult to leave such a diet, as the body adapts to such a diet and rebuilds metabolism. The longer such a diet is followed, the more carefully you need to approach its termination.

After a 48-hour fast, you must go out for 4 days. In this case, the body has not yet had time to rebuild itself and stopping the diet will not be difficult. It is necessary to gradually introduce into your diet, first self-squeezed juices, then fruits and vegetables, milk, cottage cheese and sour cream. After 4 days you can start eating normal foods.

With a fasting period of more than 3 days, the body already has time to begin rebuilding and obtaining the necessary nutrients from its internal reserves, so the functioning of the digestive system may be inadequate. It takes at least 10 days to get out of this condition and normalize the functioning of internal organs.

Every day you need to add foods to your diet in the following order:

1. Fresh juice.
2. Raw carrot and white cabbage salad.
3. Vegetable stew.
4. Fermented milk products.
5. Cereal porridge cooked in milk or water.
6. Lean meat (you can cook it in a steamer, oven or grill).

From the 7th day of release, you can combine all permitted products and return to your normal diet after 3 days. In addition, intensive physical activity is not recommended when leaving the diet; You can easily warm up or exercise. Following these rules will help you carry out the diet correctly and thus ensure results.

When can an effect be expected?

Reviews about the water diet promise quick results, but it all depends on the individual characteristics of the body.

The effect of adhering to the rules of such a diet depends on several factors:

• initial weight;
• the number of kilograms you need to get rid of;
• Metabolic features.

Those who have to lose more weight lose weight better.If a person has 1 to 3 extra pounds, it is better to abandon the water diet altogether, as it will not bring results. You can lose 5 to 10 kg in 30-60 days, and more than 10 kg can be lost in 25-30 days.

However, keep in mind that you cannot stick to such a diet for more than a month.Therefore, to achieve the desired effect, you need to start it several times. After drinking fluids for a month, you should stop the diet, take a break for 30-40 days, and then start again. This is necessary in order not to harm your health by overloading the excretory system.

A water diet can relieve a person of excess weight without forcing him to impose strict restrictions. However, there are still rules, compliance with which will help improve the effect of losing weight and not harm the health of the body.

This technique also has contraindications. Before following the drinking regime, you must read the reviews and consult a nutritionist.
