What is the English diet

The English diet belongs to the short-term category. It lasts only three weeks, during which, as the creators promise, you can get rid of 5-10 kilograms of excess weight. It is based on eating mainly protein foods, vegetables and fruits.

It is really possible to lose weight with it, since there is a serious reduction in caloric intake and a reduction in carbohydrates and fats consumed. However, experts do not recommend using it for weight loss. They are convinced that such a weight loss system is dangerous for the body. What rules will you have to follow on the English diet? What dangers does it pose? Let's take a closer look.

English diet: reviews and results

Of course, the results of the diet are different - they cannot be the same for all people, since it depends on the level of metabolism, the amount of food eaten and physical activity.

If it is followed, weight is lost slowly and no disturbances in body functions are observed. Great results can be achieved when combined with sports. In this case, a daily load in the form of physical exercise for 45 minutes is enough. A pattern has been noticed - the more weight, the faster and more it is lost.

Reviews of those who have lost weight on the English diet are generally positive. Everyone notes its availability and easy tolerability of protein days, since meat and fish products provide satiety for a long time. According to reviews, vegetable days were more difficult to endure due to a constant feeling of hunger. Many note that in 3 weeks they were able to adapt to proper nutrition and tried to stick to it further. As a result, within six months to a year I was able to lose more weight.

Here are some reviews about the English diet for 21 days:

“... I lost 7.5 kg in 20 days. For now the weight stays in one pore, but at the same time I try to eat right”;

“... For me, short diets are better, for example, for 5 days. It’s easier for me, and I also noticed that the effect is effective for the first three to four days, and then the weight doesn’t move. In this case, I got rid of 3.5 kg in seven days. Vegetable days are hard”;

Diet rules and recommendations

The English diet can be classified as a low-carbohydrate diet. It is in many ways similar to the Dukan or keto diet. It is designed for 21 days, during which there is an alternation of fruit, vegetable and protein days. In general, the diet can be divided into three main stages:

Unloading. It is considered the most difficult, since the caloric content and amount of food consumed is severely limited. A person constantly experiences a feeling of hunger, apathy, insomnia, and irritability appear.
Protein. It is somewhat easier to tolerate than the first one. You are allowed to eat more, and your daily calorie intake increases. At the same time, the abundance of protein in the diet also negatively affects the body. Headache, dizziness, and nausea may occur.
Fruit and vegetable. Needed to restore the body, replenish vitamins, minerals and beneficial nutrients. But there are pitfalls here too. A sharp increase in fiber in the diet can cause gastrointestinal disorders.

This diet is dangerous for the body; it can cause various health problems and exacerbation of chronic diseases. Adhering to it without the advice of a specialist is strictly prohibited.

General rules

The diet is designed for 20 days plus one day - the solution, it is quite effective and does not harm health.
During this time you can lose 7-10 kilograms. The diet consists of available products and has a daily calorie content of 1000 kcal. Its principle is the alternation of protein and vegetable days throughout the entire diet, which change every two days.

The initial stage of the diet is two fasting days , during which skim milk or 1% kefir up to 2 liters and tomato juice are allowed at night.

Then follow - 2 days of protein, 2 days of vegetables. It is very important to start eating on protein days. Meals should be divided into 4 times, and the last meal should be no later than 19 hours.

During fasting days, the body rests. Products these days are light and low-calorie. Taking them helps reduce the volume of the stomach. The process of burning fat begins.

Protein days replenish protein , as the main building material of the body. They perform plastic, hormonal, catalytic, transport functions in the body, and are a strong stimulator of the secretion of pancreatic enzymes.

The protein component of nutrition is of great importance - it is a source of amino acids . The synthesis of them and nucleic acids occurs in the liver and this process is sensitive to the intake of their precursors from food. Typically, a person's daily protein intake is 100 g. If the requirement is accurately calculated, it is equal to 0.83-0.86 g/kg of weight.

Intake of a large amount of fiber obtained from vegetables and fruits in the next two days has a beneficial effect on digestion, eliminates swelling and improves intestinal function. Fiber adsorbs toxins, reduces the level of free ammonia and carcinogens that are formed during fermentation and decay. Helps enhance the synthesis of folic acid and B vitamins by intestinal bacteria. In this regard, a daily intake of 400 g of fresh vegetables and fruits is recommended.

Protein foods and vegetables are low in calories compared to foods rich in fats and simple carbohydrates. Frequent split meals will prevent an unbearable feeling of hunger. You need to alternate protein and vegetable days for 20 days. The menu cannot be changed; salads can be adjusted for variety by using seasonal and favorite vegetables from the list of permitted ones.

On the 21st day (as in the first two days it is fasting and milk) they leave the diet. After this, you need to try to eat right, excluding high-calorie foods, and use vegetables in any form (raw, stewed or boiled) as a side dish for meat, poultry and fish. You can resort to this diet only once a year.

Let's summarize the main points:

drink a glass of water with lemon juice on an empty stomach;
drink up to 2 liters of water during the day;
four meals a day (if necessary, snacks with vegetables or kefir on appropriate days);
last meal at 19-00;
drink 1 tbsp at night. a spoonful of olive oil;
Take multivitamins throughout the entire period.

Advantages and disadvantages

The English diet is a type of protein diet. Most doctors do not recognize such a nutritional system; they consider it dangerous to health. A diet with a predominance of protein with a low intake of carbohydrates, vitamins B and C, and vital microelements can lead to disruption of the functioning of internal organs and all body systems. This manifests itself in the form of the following symptoms:

constipation;
frequent headaches, migraines;
nausea;
poor appetite;
bad breath, reminiscent of acetone;
stomach ache.

In addition, the English diet promotes intensive removal of water from the body. And along with it, useful substances, vitamins, and microelements are washed away. People often show signs of dehydration and appear sickly.

The English diet is contraindicated in the following cases:

diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
impaired functioning of the kidneys and liver;
poor blood clotting, cardiovascular pathologies;
pregnancy, lactation period;
minors;
elderly people.

This diet is quite difficult for the body to tolerate. It is difficult for even a completely healthy person to withstand it completely. You need to be careful and monitor your well-being. If any of the symptoms described above occur, consult a specialist.

psychoemotional disorders;
diseases of the liver, kidneys, heart;
disruption of the gastrointestinal tract;

About the diet

There is no need to go hungry - the detailed menu contains many delicious dishes rich in protein, vitamins and minerals. In the process of eating according to the foggy island system, cholesterol is reduced, sugar is normalized, the digestive system is activated and metabolism is accelerated.

The system is based on the principle of separate power supply. Protein and vegetable days alternate. This optimizes food absorption, maintains muscle tone and nerve stability. You can alternate every other day or every two - as you like.

Quitting the diet

The exit from the English diet should be smooth. Changes need to be made step by step. It is recommended to draw up a plan and describe each stage in detail. The body needs time to recover and adapt. The duration of this period is calculated individually. The more kilograms lost, the longer it will take to quit the diet. It usually takes at least six months.

At all times, you must adhere to the following rules:

Watch your portion sizes. Eat by the hour, following the same routine.
Gradually increase the amount of carbohydrates and fats, bringing it to normal.
Consume about 1.5-2 liters of clean water per day. The body needs it to remove protein breakdown products.
Add some vegetables to every meal. The fiber contained in them will help restore the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.

Experts recommend keeping a food diary and counting calories, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates consumed. This is the simplest, yet most effective way to monitor your nutrition.

It is also recommended to add light exercise or walking to your daily routine. They will help the body adapt, improve the functioning of all systems, internal organs, and improve overall well-being.

Hungry days diet

As already mentioned, you should start the diet with two fasting days. But don’t be so scared right away - you don’t have to limit your diet to just water.

Hungry days menu:

1 liter of low-fat kefir or milk;
a glass of tomato juice;
2 slices of toasted black bread.

This amount of food and drinks should be spread over the whole day. To avoid hunger as much as possible, it is recommended to eat very small portions.

The marathon to lose extra pounds begins with protein days. Meals should be at the same time, deviation from the schedule is permissible for no more than an hour. Remember to drink enough fluids throughout the day, and try not to go into the kitchen later than 7 pm to avoid the temptation to eat something tasty. In order not to lose track of when your diet plan is on what day, we advise you to draw up a diagram and attach it to the refrigerator.

For 5 days

The first five days of the English diet are the most difficult, because you need to get used to the new diet and limit yourself to your favorite foods and desserts.

Everything should be in moderation!

Old English Diet

The 5-day program for burning extra pounds is also known as the Old English diet. In the past, it was often practiced in boarding schools in order not only to save money on food, but also to reduce the weight of their rich pupils. There were fans of this technique in aristocratic society as well. The event is held from Monday to Friday, because, as a rule, on weekends, future English ladies attended church, or went to social events where it was impossible to maintain a strict diet.

In terms of effectiveness, the Old English weight loss program is in no way inferior to modern diets - in 5 days you can lose up to 10 kilograms.

The main advantage of the old English diet is that it consists of natural and affordable products: eggs, oatmeal, bread, milk, cheese, butter, meat and fruit. The main difference between the Old English diet and its modern version is the consumption of black tea rather than green, since this drink promotes healthy and natural weight loss. This means that in pursuit of a luxurious figure, you don’t have to spend a lot of money, cook complex dishes and spend hours searching for the right ingredient.
