Almost everyone who is trying to lose excess weight dreams of losing weight quickly, preferably at home, so as not to spend money on expensive fitness club memberships and special nutrition programs.Everyone's metabolism is individual, but there really are methods for emergency weight loss.Not all of them are approved by doctors, so it is important to consider all the pros and cons of the methods.
1. Drinking diet
One of the strictest diets is called the "drinking diet".He completely excludes all solid foods, even completely harmless and low-calorie fruits and vegetables.It allows you to lose 7-10 kg at home, but it is quite difficult for the body to tolerate it.
The rules of the "Drinking Diet" are as follows:
- Solid foods are completely excluded.Consuming semi-liquid foods such as smoothies is acceptable.
- At the same time, if you want to lose 10 kg or more in two to three weeks, avoid fatty broths, soups and even too sweet fruits.
- The diet for weight loss at home is based on green vegetables, low-calorie fruits, coffee with milk is allowed without sugar, milk with a maximum fat content of 2%, tea and water without restrictions.
- You should drink a total of at least 3 liters of fluid per day.
Those who have tried the technique report that they can lose 10 kg in a short period of time: from a week to a month, depending on the initial weight.Doctors disapprove of this scheme, reminding that the stomach needs solid food, and with this method of rapid weight loss, metabolism and bowel function deteriorate.
2. Mono-diet on cucumbers
Cucumber is a "negative calorie" vegetable.One hundred grams contains only 20 kcal, making it an ideal product for those who want to lose 5 kg at home in a week or more.Cucumber food without additional additives contains neither fat nor carbohydrates, only water and fiber.
The mono-diet provides the following:
- You can eat up to two kilograms of vegetables per day.
- In addition to cucumbers, it is also worth eating celery and other vegetables with "negative" calories.
- You can eat steamed chicken breast without salt once a day.
- Coffee and tea can be drunk without sugar or milk.
If you are on a diet, be sure to drink water, at least 2 liters per day.The diet is quite difficult, since cucumbers hardly saturate the body, you can lose weight quickly, but the weight will almost certainly return if you follow the previous regime.
3. Fasting
Complete denial of food and sometimes water is more likely to be a healing practice than a method of rapid weight loss."Dry" fasting is possible for up to one day, with moisture - up to seven days.A maximum of 10 kg and a minimum of 5 kg can be lost in a week.On the first day, you lose up to two kilograms, however, due to excess fluid, and not due to real weight.
The technique helps to remove toxins and is useful for people with chronic pancreatitis and liver disease: it allows the gastrointestinal tract to rest.Doctors do not classify fasting as a uniquely harmful way to lose weight quickly, they just remind you of the restrictions:
- pregnant and lactating women;
- diabetics;
- Children and adolescents under the age of 18;
- patients with chronic gastritis and ulcers.
Fasting is not contraindicated for adults and generally healthy people, although doctors recommend starting with daily dietary restrictions rather than a week.The "dry" mode is not recommended for anyone.
4. Intermittent fasting
In contrast to the complete rejection of food, the theory here is that the ancestors of modern man did not eat three times a day, but ate whenever they encountered food.Intermittent fasting involves a complete abstinence from food for 16 or 24 hours, after which you can eat almost without restriction, but only 2 hours before the next interval.
The technique can neither be called simple nor a diet for the lazy, because it ideally involves interval training.These practices were designed to mimic the behavior of primitive man who was forced to hunt or forage for edible plants, roots, and fruits.With intermittent fasting, you can lose 8-12 kg in 2 months.It is advisable to combine it with exercises.
5. Buckwheat diet
Another nutritional option to which nutritionists have an almost positive attitude, because short-term adherence to the rules does not cause health in the body.The only condition is the absence of allergy or intolerance to buckwheat itself, as well as to kefir.
This is one diet for the lazy;Preparing the "dishes" is very simple:
- buckwheat - steamed and boiled in water, without salt;
- kefir - up to one liter, fat content up to 1%;
- lots of water, green tea.
Buckwheat is very healthy;contains almost the entire necessary complex of vitamins and minerals.During a diet, it is recommended to completely avoid salt, so you cannot stick to it for a long time, but you can quickly lose up to 10 kg in a week.Cereals saturate well, so it is not difficult to tolerate restrictions, except for psychological difficulties due to a monotonous diet.
6. Kefir diet
With this method, you can lose weight correctly in a short time.The kefir-based diet has many options, all of which help to improve the health of the body, get rid of excess weight, without disturbing the metabolic processes - or, on the contrary, speeding them up, and not slowing them down, as in the case of many other restrictive diets.The strictest kefir mono-diet is allowed only for three days.
Then add the following to the fermented milk drink:
- Apples, green vegetables, fruits - no more than 100 grams per day, as they are sweet and contain a lot of fructose.
- Slow carbohydrates - porridge, for example, oatmeal.It cleans the intestines well and helps the metabolism.
- Protein foods: lean fish, chicken, meat, eggs.
The kefir diet helps to lose weight in the stomach due to its mild laxative effect.It is recommended to alternate "full" days with fasting days when only the drink is consumed.You can follow this system for two weeks, a month or even longer, gradually expanding the range of authorized products.It is advisable to completely give up only fast carbohydrates, fast food, sweet drinks and alcohol.
7. High protein diets and exercise
There are special diets for athletes and bodybuilders.At the same time, they combine a fairly high calorie content due to protein products and intense training.This option cannot be called a diet for lazy people, but it not only burns fat, but also builds muscle and strengthens the body.
The diet includes:
- Red meat without fat.
- Egg white, walnuts, cottage cheese.
- Many low-starch vegetables – that is, you can eat everything except potatoes without restrictions.
- Fruits are allowed, except for grapes and bananas.
- Slow carbohydrates are allowed as an energy source.
Professional athletes add special protein shakes to increase muscle mass;you can lose weight without changing your muscles.Be sure to drink water to lose weight, and exercise should be at least 2 hours three to four times a week, including strength training and cardio.No need to visit the gym;you can lose weight at home, using available sports equipment and following the recommendations of trainers - for example, with the help of videos from the Internet.
8. "Minus sixty" system
This is the author's technique, which is named after exactly how many kilograms the inventor lost.It's not really a diet, but rather a way of eating: all food is allowed, only fast carbohydrates and fats should not exceed 150 grams per day, and all of them must be taken at breakfast.It means protein food for lunch and a light vegetable salad for dinner.Exercising is recommended, but a visit to the gym is not required;minimal walking, jogging and dancing are sufficient.The advantage of the technique is that it is psychologically easy to tolerate, because even cakes and hamburgers are not prohibited if we eat small amounts and at a specific time.
9. Pharmacy medicines and SPA treatments
By themselves, neither drugs nor SPA procedures help you lose weight quickly, but they activate the metabolism and speed up the already started process.All drugs that actually help you lose weight require a prescription, so it is difficult to get them without a doctor's permission.
We must not forget that taking the most effective drug is allowed only in case of clinical obesity, i.e. with a BMI of more than 30, although in practice it is prescribed to people with a BMI of 35 or more.
The drug should not be used if you need to lose 5-10 kilograms "for the summer" or just "to fit into your favorite jeans."It has many side effects.Of course, medications do not eliminate the need to follow a diet.
Another way to lose weight and improve body condition is SPA treatments and myostimulation.The methods are complementary and do not exclude the need to normalize nutrition, but they help to get rid of cellulite and local fat deposits.Massages, SPA treatments and body wraps are comfortable and enjoyable.
10. Proper nutrition
This is not a way to lose weight quickly at home, but it is ideal for health;allows you to stick to a regimen for years, lose up to 10 kg in a month at the very beginning, continue to lose weight and keep it off.The basic principle is the balance of calories, proteins, fats and carbohydrates.There are no clear prohibitions, although it is recommended to completely avoid:
- store-bought baked goods - you can also make your own at home, where there will be no palm oil and other harmful additives;
- mayonnaise;
- fast food;
- of alcoholic beverages, you can leave a maximum of 200 ml of dry red and white wine.weekly.
Good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle involve simple exercises: half an hour a day.This can be running, brisk walking or exercising at home.The technique does not promise immediate and "miraculous" weight loss, but forcing yourself to a tasty and healthy diet is much easier than with complex diets, gentle exercise does not cause discomfort, and the body itself normalizes metabolism over time, getting rid of toxins and harmful substances.Thanks to the integrated approach, not only the weight is reduced, but also the general condition of the body improves.
