Reviews from nutritionists and advice from doctors

Nutritionist advice:

Try to stick to proper nutrition and not diets that have a temporary effect. Unfortunately, after fasting, fats accumulate with renewed vigor. The Brazilian diet is not the worst option for “emergency” weight loss, and the result – minus 5-7 kg is not critical for the body. The main thing is to eat often and in small portions after leaving the diet. The weekly diet should not be repeated more than once every two months. And don't overeat at night.

Therapist advice:

Any diet due to strict restrictions in foods leads to a deficiency of vitamins and microelements. If you have already decided to adhere to this diet, in addition to it, buy a multivitamin complex. But before starting a diet, be sure to consult with a specialist, because any diseases of the digestive, cardiovascular, or endocrine systems are contraindications to the diet! Include physical activity - then the result will be more effective than any strict diet.

Diet price

Despite the fact that the menu contains a lot of protein foods, the Brazilian diet can save your family's food costs. After all, the diet does not include delicacies, only healthy complex proteins and carbohydrates. You will only have to spend money on fish, but taking into account very small portions - no more than 120 grams, one carcass, for example, of dorado or sea bass will be enough for you.

In general, for a week of diet you will need to purchase at the supermarket:

• 1.5 dozen chicken table eggs;
• 1 kg of green apples (7 fruits);
• 0.5 kg beef tenderloin;
• 0.5 kg chicken fillet;
• 1 sea fish carcass (not frozen);
• packaging of assorted greens;
• 0.5 kg of cucumbers and 1 kg of tomatoes;
• ground natural coffee, you can choose according to personal preferences - pure Arabica or with the addition of Robusta.

Thus, 1 week will cost you no more than 2200-2500 rubles, and the entire diet course will cost you up to 5000 rubles. The price may increase in the spring and winter, when the cost of vegetables is higher.
