According to the reviews of people who follow this diet, it is much easier to follow it. In addition, it also allows you to improve the general condition of the body, and the results are no different from other diets.

Essence and basic principles

The water diet is based on the effect of water on the human body. its mainThe principle is that drinking water fills the stomach and a large amount of food will not enter there. Therefore, to lose weight with this method, you should drink 1 glass of liquid half an hour before each meal. In this case, after eating, you need to refrain from drinking water for at least 120 minutes.

This is necessary in order for food to be digested faster due to the release of gastric juice, and the introduction of liquid into the stomach will slow down this process. It will also relieve the feeling of heaviness in the digestive tract.

It is fundamentally important that food is not mixed with water.That is, after drinking water, it is necessary to wait at least 20 minutes before eating. It should also be remembered that drinking any other liquid, juice, tea or coffee is considered a full meal.

On such a diet, water cannot be replaced with anything else. Following the basic principles of the diet will allow you to lose weight in a few weeks, and the result will be more noticeable if you are overweight.

The water diet was developed by several nutritionists and tested on a group of subjects. According to the results of the research, it was determined that following the rules of such a diet is a guarantee of getting rid of excess weight. However, in order to achieve the maximum effect, certain dietary restrictions must be followed.

In addition, there are contraindications for using a water diet, which you should know so as not to harm the body. The use of such restrictions is especially dangerous for people suffering from pathologies of the excretory system, as well as during pregnancy and lactation.

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. It helps to increase the rate of burning of accumulated fats.
2. Ordinary water without gas has a calorie content of 0, and it quenches the feeling of hunger well.
3. The water diet technique helps to normalize the functioning of the digestive system and other functional systems of the body. On the other hand, the adequate functioning of the body improves the condition of the skin.
4. Natural water helps improve human performance due to its tonic properties.

Thus, 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.

Indications for use

The water diet, which reviews say can help you lose up to 10 kg in a month, is not just for weight loss. Also, its protection helps to slow down the aging of the body, respectivelyThis diet is recommended for those who suffer from "drying" of the body.which refers to age-related fluid deficit.

As we age, the part of the brain that is responsible for the feeling of thirst begins to send and process signals more slowly, so water intake decreases. For this reason, water deficiency in the body begins to develop, which in turn leads to weakness and drying of organs and skin.

You can determine the need to follow a water diet as follows: you need to go to the mirror and in any place where there are no wrinkles, try to collect the skin in folds. If the wrinkle easily merges and forms wrinkles, we can conclude that the skin is dehydrated.

Also, after the release of the fold, the skin will slowly return to its previous shape, and a little-by-nothing trace will remain. If the described results were obtained during the experiment, then you should use a water diet to restore the moisture level in the body.

In addition, following a water diet, you can get rid of excess weight. However, it should be noted that it is much more difficult to lose small kilograms. Therefore, if you have 2-3 extra kilograms, it is better to choose a different diet, and this diet and drinking regimen will help you lose 10 kg.

Before going to bed, it is allowed to drink 1 cup of low-fat kefir to normalize the function of the stomach. The diet can be stopped at any day, following the rules for coming out of it.

Consolidation of the result

The water diet, reviews of which speak of good weight loss results, as well as others, need a proper exit from it, as this can enhance the result. Different types of water diets have different exit methods.

After such a diet, which involves taking only a large amount of liquid and permitted food, you should go out, gradually expand the diet. You should return to your regular menu in the same period as you followed the diet.

There is also a water mono-diet, which involves drinking only liquid for several days.It can be called fasting. It is more difficult to leave such a diet, because the body adapts to such a diet and restores the metabolic process. The longer you adhere to such a diet, the more carefully you should approach its termination.

After a 48-hour fast, you need to go outside for 4 days. In this case, the body has not yet had time to restore itself, and it will not be difficult to stop the diet. It is necessary to gradually include in the diet first the squeezed juices, then fruits and vegetables, milk, cottage cheese, sour cream, and after 4 days you can start eating normal food.

During fasting for more than 3 days, the body already has time to start recovery and get the necessary nutrients from its internal reserve, so the functioning of the digestive system may be inadequate. It takes at least 10 days to get out of this state to normalize the functioning of internal organs.

Every day you should add food 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 on steam, in the oven or on the grill).

From the 7th day of release, you can combine all allowed products and return to your usual diet after 3 days. Also, when leaving the diet, intense physical activity is not recommended, you can do a light warm-up or exercise. Following these rules will help you follow the diet correctly, thus ensuring its results.

When should we expect the effect?

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

Compliance with the rules of such a diet depends on several factors:

• initial weight;
• the number of kilograms you need to get rid of;
• metabolic properties.

People who need to lose more lose weight better.If a person has 1 to 3 extra kilograms, it is better to abandon the water diet altogether, because it will not bring results. In 30-60 days you can lose 5 to 10 kg, and in 25-30 days you can lose more than 10 kg.

However, we must remember that you cannot follow such a diet for more than a month.Therefore, to achieve the desired effect, you will have to start it several times. After a month of drinking liquid, you should leave the diet and 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 free a person from excess weight, without forcing him to adhere to strict restrictions. However, it still has rules, the observance of which will help to improve the effect of weight loss and will not harm the health of the body.

This technique also has contraindications, so before following the drinking regime, you should read reviews and consult with a nutritionist.
