A rigid diet, according to nutritionists, belongs to the section of the most dangerous for human health -weight loss method completely eliminates food intake!This does not mean that for the next month you will say goodbye to the concept of "food" and drink only purified water every day. But the entire diet will indeed consist of liquid.
If you do not consider yourself a hardened person, choose softer, but no less effective methods, such as 6 petals, your favorite diet or Kremlin, or drink, but for 14 or 7 days.
During drinking days, you will literally have to fight with your nature, and it is far from easy. After all, any diet is a stress on the body, it will force you to have sanity and fortitude in the most difficult times, but a rigid diet is completely different. And we will explain why, present you with a detailed menu, tell you how many days you need to reduce your calorie intake, give a vegetable recipe, note the positive and negative sides of the method. And it's up to you to decide whether the fight against the extra pounds is worth it.
How much can you lose on such a diet if you sit on it correctly? Reviews on the Internet speak of results of up to 20 kilograms per month.
What purpose?
Initially, everyone needs - to chew - it is an integral reflex of the body. Also (and not everyone realizes this) we all have some kind of "timer" installed inside. When a person consumes food, the brain "calculates" the total amount eaten, so we feel full. Sometimes the timer does not work when we eat while watching a series or listening to music while eating.
You may have noticed that in decent cafes and restaurants the music is always playing or the TV is noisy - this is no coincidence. Loud sounds drown out the "timer" and you no longer know the measure, and therefore eat more than you should. For this reason, we advise you to practice eating in complete silence. Within a month you will notice tangible benefits.
The ability to eat in silence will be needed when you decide to quit the diet. As long as you don't eat, but drink, there is no point in cheating, because the brain cannot calculate the amount of alcohol consumed.
But what is the essence of the diet, what can and should definitely be removed from your refrigerator for the next month? While any other method, even the most rigid, provides for at least one interval food intake, the diet prohibits its use at all.The main ingredient for the next 14-30 days is liquid in all its manifestations- this means that in addition to the obligatory liter and a half of purified water per day, you can eat: fermented milk products, fermented cooked milk, milk, pureed soups, yogurts, teas and coffees, broths, smoothies and everything that turns liquid - fruits and vegetables (we will present the detailed menu later).
Keep in mind that during this entire period the consumption of soda and alcohol is prohibited. It is not necessary to aggravate the already critical situation in the body with toxins and harmful substances.
The creators of the diet provided for the optimal time of the drinking regime - 30 days. However, many practices have led to the conclusion that a tangible result can be seen after 4-5 days.The correct gradual entry into such a drinking regimen is important.If before that you ate a considerable amount of protein and carbohydrates during the day, but then suddenly stopped and sat only on water, then this is not far from a bed of'hospital.
Before completely following such a diet, you need to go through an adaptation period of 5-10 days, during which you can gradually reduce the amount of food you eat.
During the first three days, you reduce your diet by half, and on day 10 it is already recommended to consume up to 100-200 calories per day. So, on day 10, the lion's share of your lunch diet will be liquid (60-70%, 20-30% - chewable food) - this will greatly simplify such a difficult task for the body and allow you to quickly get thenecessary results.
During a water-based diet, the gastrointestinal tract is cleansed. The feeling of heaviness is eliminated, the body becomes light as a feather.
Drinking a large amount of drink will quell the feeling of hunger, while you will get 0 calories, and nutrients and minerals for a month, a week with liquid juices and broths will continue to enter your body! But not everything is as smooth as it seems at first glance. The method also has drawbacks, which are numerous.
Advantages and disadvantages
So, we've already discussed the key aspects of the diet in general terms, now it's time to get down to the specifics. During a month of voluntary hunger strike, you will, of course, lose weight. But let us point out: it will not be the fat at all that will be burned, but your cells and tissues. But the water will not go anywhere, on the contrary, it will be firmly fixed inside you.
Perhaps you will understand the expression "swell with hunger", because the water in the tissues will become the main cause of "hungry" edema, then the skin will swell.
A useful service will bring a diet for 7 days, 14 or unloading for 3 - this time is more than enough for detoxification, which is so necessary for a modern person, to occur - the release of toxic substances from the body withwater and sweat.
If you look at the outside of the coin, the benefit of this technique will also be training your iron will. It will serve you well later in life and, in our opinion, help you freely try less dangerous, but equally mentally and physiologically challenging diets, without risking giving up along the way.
Doctors believe that a diet is a slow but sure death to the body. And if you get carried away too much, it is possible that during the final stages of a strict drinking regime, a harmless desire to "slow down to the sides" will turn into a dangerous disease - anorexia.
But despite the disadvantages of a water diet, the method also has a useful advantage, which, if used correctly, can bring unlimited benefits - the complete elimination of the risk of dehydration. It is guaranteed to all people who adhere to any other strict diet. People who lose weight often reduce their water intake, but dieting is quite the opposite.
To achieve maximum effect, different nutritional strategies should be combined. Plan a week or two of fasting on a drinking diet, gradually come out of it and switch to another diet you like. But for this you need to create the right menu for all periods.

Diet for 30, 14, 7 and 3 days
How much diet, everyone decides for himself, depending on the goals.
For a 30-day drink ration, as opposed to 14 days, five stages are typical.After 10 adaptive days of reducing the calories consumed (sometimes a week is enough), 10 days of great cleansing of the hollow organs and the intestinal tract begin.The next 10 days involve dense organs - the liver, kidneys. Thus, on the 20th day, a feeling of discomfort in these organs is possible. And finally - cleansing at the cellular level. During this period, boundless lightness is felt, and discomfort in the body disappears.
To achieve the desired results in a month (for the cautious - a week), you can eat:
- Dairy products for breakfast, yogurts;
- After a few hours, freshly squeezed juice (orange, grapefruit, apple);
- At lunch, broth or chicken soup without meat or mashed potatoes, teas, coffee;
- Afternoon snack - jelly, berry compote;
- Dinner - weak yogurt.
The menu requires variety so that your body receives all the necessary useful elements. So a more faithful 7 or 14 day method of losing weight with water in a week might include:
- Monday: juice, compotes;
- Tuesday: jelly made from oatmeal, or fruit and berries;
- Wednesday: dairy day, 1. 5% kefir, milk and yoghurt;
- Thursday: fish, chicken and vegetable broths;
- Friday: mashed soup, tea, broth, liquid fruit and vegetable soups;
- Saturday: protein diet - yogurt, fermented cooked milk, milk;

The 3-day drink ration is the easiest way in the whole method to unload the body and lose weight. It is suitable for combination with savings schemes. On the first day, only the use of dairy products is allowed, on the second - prepare broths, and on the last - juices, jelly and compotes. In any case, proceed from personal wishes in the preparation of the diet, write it down on a piece of paper, come up with your own recipes.
