Japanese diet, benefits and harms methods, as well as menus for 7 and 14 days, this will be our conversation. It should be noted that the reviews and results of those who have already experienced this miracle, as well as the opportunity to use it equally effectively for both women and men, are attracting an increasing number of people who want to get rid of the hated pounds in 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 health. However, achieving a positive result is possible only with strict adherence to all the rules and recommendations of the developers of this diet.
Meaning and basic principles
Despite its name, the Japanese diet is quite adapted to Europeans and has nothing to do with the traditional cuisine of this people. Its significance 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 you get not a month or six months, but up to 2-3 years or more.
I agree, the odds are tempting. Yes, and special suffering will not have to suffer. Of course, the procedure lasts not one day, but about two weeks, but considering the long period of guaranteed action, it is negligible.
The main principle of dealing with excess weight is strict and strict adherence to all its rules, and the undoubted advantage is the ability not to feel hungry and not 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 to follow a proper diet throughout life, and not just during the cleansing period, and then the pounds will continue to disappear until the arrow on the scales takes the mark normal for each case.
Important thing!Often, exhausted by diets, people bring their bodies into an anorexic state. The Japanese diet, above all, ensures the normalization of weight. That is, if a person should weigh 56 kg, taking into account age, height, body characteristics, etc. Then they will not be able to lose up to 45 years in this way.
Advantages and disadvantages of diet
It is not known for sure where this way of losing weight got its name. Either it was invented in Japan, or it was awarded this title in honor of the slender and healthy representatives of this nation, however, it is worth recognizing that, despite the ongoing disputes on this topic, the undoubted advantages of this method of weight loss:
- fast weight loss;
- lack of hunger;
- gaining normal weight;
- serenity and efficiency;
- stable result, which with the correct attitude towards diet lasts 2-3 years;
- relatively short-term;
- cleansing the body of toxins and toxins;
- Restructuring attitudes 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 for strict adherence to established rules;
- mandatory prior preparation and compliance with the rules of subsequent exit from it;
- possible side effects (read about them below).
Indications and contraindications
The weight loss method, which 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 this method of weight loss);
- pregnant and lactating women;
- suffering from chronic diseases of any etiology;
- people whose lives are associated with hard physical or strenuous mental work.
Others may experience the proposed option, and the results will be especially noticeable to those who have gained weight due to metabolic disorders, however, given the eating habits of the Japanese diet, each of the experimenters may experience:
- headache;
- nausea;
- weakness and pain in bones and joints;
- general deterioration of health.
These are the side effects of this weight loss system and occur due to insufficient intake of nutrients in the body, which are needed by each of us 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 he recommends. Trust me, all this will only be for your good.
Basic rules of the Japanese diet
The action of the "Japanese woman", thanks to which weight loss occurs, is the reduction of daily calorie intake and the selection of protein as the main "hero" of the diet, which comes into the body from chicken, beef, eggs, fish and milk. Carbohydrates, although in a significantly reduced amount, are obtained by losing weight from vegetables, fats, crackers, etc. And the fibers fill the stomach for a long time and create a feeling of satiety.
It is allowed to drink coffee and green tea, but you only need to choose a high-quality product in order to be able to cope with the task of cleansing the body of toxins and oxidants.
Fat removal is known to be best achieved by limiting carbohydrate intake. Then they will start using the reserves made over the years for their usual activities, and they will start to lose weight. In principle, although a little rough, but this also characterizes the Japanese diet.
However, a 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 a doctor;
- strict adherence to the menu (changing diet days or changing food is dangerous to health);
- drinking plenty of water in addition to coffee and tea, which will help you 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 drink;
- you should start the morning with a glass of clean water and end the day with a meal no later than 2-3 hours before bedtime;
- You should avoid snacks and take main meals in 5-6 sessions.
To consolidate the result and avoid severe stress for the body, you should avoid a sudden return to normal life (it is better to start living in a new way), and to more easily endure all the upcoming tests, you should make an effort and pay special attention to it as easilyenter the diet.
Proper preparation is the key to successful weight loss
The Japanese diet predicts quite serious changes in diet, although, as any reasonable person understands, it is necessary to implement the set goal - to take the previous look and get rid of excess burden. In order for the diet to go smoothly, you need to prepare for it. It's not hard to do.
Just gradually reduce the proportion 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 harm to the body
What luck after two weeks of deprivation to see the long-awaited mark on the scales. However, most of our fellow citizens are making a fatal mistake at the moment. With a “sense of accomplishment, ” they decide to celebrate their accomplishment and arrange a real break for body and soul, then complain that with such difficulty the lost pounds came back almost instantly, and even took a few extra ones with them.
This happens because the body, after experiencing stress and deprivation of the loss of a normal way of life, decides to take care of itself in case a similar situation occurs and, receiving the long-awaited fats, stores them in reserve in double quantities.
To prevent this from happening to you, get out of your diet wisely and adhere to these principles:
- gradually;
- slow menu expansion;
- balance;
- rationality.
You can go back to the old diet, of course, after analyzing it and making the appropriate conclusions, at the earliest in 1-2 months. To do this, you need to add one product at a time to your usual diet, which was banned during the "Japanese". You can snack on something, but avoid plenty of fat and simple carbs.
What doctors say
Often the opinion of doctors, people who decide to change something in their lives, do not take into account and thus make a big mistake. Remember, even if you are not sure of the opinion of one expert, no one bothers you to seek advice from a few, summarize the information received and draw the appropriate conclusions. Life is one and not worth the risk of whimsy.
If we are talking about the attitude towards the category of unbalanced diet with high protein content, then first of all it should be understood that long-term use will lead to serious health problems. Also, you should not follow the Japanese diet more than once in two years, especially because, respecting all its requirements, the result will be maintained all that time.
There are cases where people sit on a Japanese diet twice a year, but this is only the case when resolving excess weight is vital for the patient and only happens on a doctor’s recommendation.
So that the body does not experience a lack and deficiency of nutrients, it will not harm the intake of vitamin-mineral complex. Its use should be started 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.
