The best fasting days for weight loss and cleansing: only pp options

Unloading - what is it?

So, what is a “fasting day”? This is a planned and competently prepared daily diet, during which a person adheres to a certain menu. In short, this is the day when the body rests from its usual food. We should not confuse this with hunger strikes, when food intake is not provided at all!

main goals of unloading:

1. the most popular is weight loss . And many believe that they really lose weight after unloading, because the scales show a good minus - up to 3 kg. In fact, this is a myth. You can get rid of excess fat during unloading only if it is protein, and then this figure will be insignificant. But a fasting day definitely promotes weight loss, as it acts as stress for the body, helping to speed up metabolic processes, working like a cheat meal - like a reboot. In addition, weekly regular fasting reduces the total number of calories, helps reduce stomach volume, that is, adds several more advantages to the weight loss process;
2. Another goal is cleansing and healing the body . There are no myths here - organs, systems and fluids are actually cleansed. This is especially noticeable from the gastrointestinal tract. But both blood and lymph also only improve after proper unloading.

In addition, fasting days prepared in accordance with all the rules improve general well-being, the condition of hair, skin, give the body the opportunity to rest from food, and set the body up for a more proper and moderate diet. And psychologically, this is an excellent test of willpower and willingness to cut back on your diet to lose weight, even if you have plans for some kind of light option like a 1500 kcal menu.

Indications for fasting days to lose weight in women's belly

When should a RD be arranged? How do you understand that your body needs effective cleansing? The main signal requiring attention is the occurrence of excess weight and deterioration in general physical condition. If the first signs appear, we choose the appropriate option and begin cleansing.

Another factor that forces you to unload your body the next day is overeating. This is especially true for girls who like to spend weekends and various holidays “fun and tasty”. If you recognize yourself in this, think about the possibility of losing weight on fasting days. Experienced nutritionists recommend that when overeating, carry out two fasting sessions at once, which will help relieve swelling and quickly improve your general condition.

We spend fasting days correctly

As with any nutritional issue, there are also rules, recommendations and taboos. How to properly spend a fasting day:

• prepare in advance - create a fasting menu, have a light dinner;
• drink a lot of clean water - this will prevent dehydration, since almost all unloadings help remove excess fluid, and will help to efficiently cleanse the cells of harmful toxins and waste;
• eat often, but little by little - well, there’s nothing new for the PP student;
• exclude intense physical activity on this day, but leave it moderate. That is, cancel the trip to the gym, but walking at a walk, especially at night, will not be superfluous;
• do not “unload” more than once a week;
• do not forget that unloading is only 1 day, not two or more ;
• If it’s difficult for you to go without food or you’re just starting to practice fasting, think about what you’ll do all day . And it is advisable to minimize all temptations:
• If you snapped and couldn’t stand it, don’t blame yourself —it will be easier next time. And there are so many options for unloading that you will definitely find something suitable for yourself.

Contraindications

Do not forget that such days cannot suit absolutely every person. Let's highlight a small list of when unloading should not be carried out:

• presence of diabetes;
• during pregnancy;
• if there are acute diseases;
• if you are already elderly;
• in the presence of gastrointestinal diseases.

If you do not follow these rules, this can lead to very bad consequences. In addition to feeling unwell, you may experience acute pain in the stomach, and you will also experience extreme weakness.

So approach this issue with great responsibility. But the best thing about deloading is that you can do it at home.

The most efficient and safe unloading

Only you can answer the question about which fasting day will be the most effective for you. The fact is that this is all very individual, you need to take into account the body’s reaction to foods, your physical and psychological preparedness, as well as the goal you want to achieve.

For example, if you have high physical activity, lactose intolerance, no problems with your liver, and the goal is to lose weight and get rid of edema, then most likely a protein reliever, for example, cottage cheese, is suitable for you.

To make it easier to make a choice, we will analyze in detail all the popular and safe types of unloading. First, let's look at the classification.

To summarize, absolutely all of these short-term daily diets can be divided into mono and combined:

• mono - when a daily diet of only one product is meant. Example - cottage cheese or apple unloading;
• combined are those where the menu includes several products. It’s good, for example, to clean juice discharges from different juices.

also proceed from which energy sources predominate - proteins, fats and carbohydrates:

• protein meals (with chicken breast, eggs or cottage cheese) the most - they are nourishing, quite tasty, and help a lot in the fight against edema, which effectively reduces the numbers on the scale and even reduces the appearance of cellulite. You can lose up to 2 kg in a day! Of course, it goes away, mostly water, but protein-rich fasting really burns fat too - up to 200 g at a time. True, a day on proteins is very difficult even for a healthy body, since proteins are the “heaviest” to digest;
• carbohydrate fasting days (on cereals, fruits, vegetables, juices, etc.) have their advantages - almost all of them give an excellent effect of cleansing the gastrointestinal tract, do not have any negative effect on the functioning of internal organs and are also pleasing with a minus on the scales. By the way, the famous kefir unloading most likely refers specifically to carbohydrates, and not to protein, as is commonly believed, since there are 4 g of carbohydrates per 100 g in kefir, and a little more than 2 of protein;
• fasting days on fats are the most controversial options in terms of safety, when foods with a high fat content are taken as a basis - sour cream and cream, for example. This also includes unloading on nuts. Although, I think, fans of low-carb, high-fat LCHF nutrition will have arguments in favor of such days.

Unloading on chocolate

Extreme and completely unfounded. I am writing about this only to warn you that a fasting day on chocolate will not be able to cleanse the body and will definitely not contribute to weight loss. Moreover, you will harm yourself by doing this.

That's all I wanted to tell you about fasting days for weight loss. The options at home for a woman’s belly and cleansing the body don’t end there, but now you know how to spend the day correctly, how to make a menu and what the benefits of all this can be. If you have reviews, results, for example, about kefir day, or you just want to share your experience, be sure to write in the comments. It’s especially interesting if you had fasting on buckwheat, water with lemon or chicken breast.

Drinking relief

Fasting days on various liquids are becoming more popular and varied. It is usually assumed that you will drink one thing - kefir or even plain water. But there are also options for drinking menus that combine any liquid food - from juices and teas to jelly and broth. The goal is usually limited to cleansing and resting the gastrointestinal tract from solid food.

And if you plan your diet correctly, you can practically eliminate any contraindications, which, by the way, other drinking options can have quite a few. Here are the general ones:

• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• cystitis;
• blood pressure problems;
• elderly age;
• some psychological and physical pathologies.

But the advantages of drinking fasting are not unique:

• feeling of lightness and energy throughout the day;
• high-quality intestinal cleansing;
• noticeable contraction of the stomach.

Features of kefir fasting day

A fasting day with kefir is perhaps the most popular. Even our mothers and grandmothers used it as a way to lose weight. This is understandable, because kefir contains so many useful things - from unique lactobacilli to antioxidants that prevent cancer.

The point is to drink 1.5 liters of kefir per day. In general, the rules are similar to the basic principles of the paragraph :

• maintain a drinking regime - 2-2.5 liters of water;
• drink often, but little by little - a glass at a time;
• last dose - 1-1.5 before bedtime;
• choose a “live” product whose shelf life is no more than 5 days;
• The fat content of kefir should be minimal, but not zero, since only fatty dairy products contain special beneficial substances.

You can add a little cinnamon, a couple of drops of lemon juice or a little chopped fresh herbs to kefir. It’s better to put everything else aside for later.

Kefir is an excellent substitute for fermented baked milk, homemade yogurt without additives.

Milkweed: isn't it dangerous?

Another equally popular option for drinking relief is milk tea. Reviews from those who have tried it are not only numerous, but also varied. There are those who simply sing odes to unloading on milk tea, and there are also radically different ones - they say, it becomes bad, and there is no effect. I believe that if you take into account all the contraindications, brew tea correctly with milk and arrange a fasting day, and not 3, 5 or, oh horror!, 7 days on milk tea, then such fasting will only have advantages.

So, the rules:

1. drink 2 liters of drink per day;
2. drink little by little as soon as you feel hungry;
3. do not forget about 2-2.5 liters of ordinary water;
4. take fat milk - at least 2.5%.

How to brew milk tea:

• boil a liter of water with the same amount of fresh milk;
• pour 2 tbsp. green leaf tea with boiled liquid;
• leave for half an hour, strain and you can start.

Who is prohibited:

• if there are obvious problems with blood pressure and kidney function;
• pregnancy, feeding - definitely not;
• for diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular pathologies.

You can replace green with regular black. But by no means herbal! Although there are such recipes on the Internet. The fact is that each herb acts in its own way - mint, for example, has a calming effect, linden has an expectorant effect. And if you don’t know the properties of herbs, you can, at best, get away with a slight illness.

Juice detox

There are not just juice fasts, but real long-term diets, the benefits of which, from the point of view of PP, are questionable. But one day on healthy vitamin drinks will not make anyone worse. Unless the contraindications concern you:

• diabetes;
• increased acidity.

Juices can be any - tomato, apple, carrot, pumpkin, birch, orange, etc. The main thing is that these are freshly squeezed drinks and not from bags! It is better to choose one type of juice, but you can also arrange a “multi-fruit” unloading.

Drink - 200 ml at a time, total volume - 1-1.5 liters. Let's remember the water!

Juice fasting, especially if done regularly, works like a real detox - that is, it cleanses the body at the cellular level , removes waste and toxins, and vitaminizes the body. They are especially good in winter and spring.

Smoothies: is this a drinking relief or not?

If you are on pp, then you are familiar with some smoothie recipes. And you are probably already glad that you can unload on your favorite treats from oatmeal, cottage cheese or bananas. You rejoice early - the unloading of smoothies is similar to juice, but fruits, vegetables and herbs are simply crushed in a blender, and not passed through a juicer.

Addition of fermented milk products is allowed . The main thing is that the total caloric intake does not exceed 1200 kcal. And so all the rules are reminiscent of the rules for unloading on juices:

• drink water;
• We eat (drink?) smoothies often, but little by little;
• We take into account contraindications (the same as for juice, we will not repeat them).

Due to the abundance of fiber, the intestines are wonderfully cleansed (it is better to plan such a fasting day on the weekend), and there is practically no feeling of hunger. You can drink one type of smoothie - for example, banana-strawberry, or you can mix it according to your preference.

Fasting water day

Unlike unloading with a smoothie, this option cannot be called easy - you can only drink water during the day . Judging by the reviews, it is better to unload on water only when you have tried several options and are mentally prepared not to eat for a day.

In total, drink 3-4 liters of purified (not boiled!) water at room temperature per day. You can let it sit overnight and even throw something silver in there. This is usually recommended for recovery after heavy feasts or overeating. The effect is really excellent - lightness, reduction in numbers on the scale, high-quality cleansing, reduction in stomach volume, etc. But the feeling of hunger will not go away! And if you are ready to endure it, try it.

Curd day

Cottage cheese is a storehouse of protein, so when eating it, don’t worry about feeling hungry. It stimulates the burning of fat mass and normalizes muscle mass.

You need to take 400 g of cottage cheese with a fat content of 1.5 to 1.8%, a fresh green sweet apple. If you feel hungry, eat a small portion of cottage cheese with fruit. It is permissible to add other fermented milk drinks to the diet, for example, whey, kefir or fermented baked milk. It is recommended to drink ordinary mineral water without gas. The amount of liquid should be calculated using the formula: divide the weight by 450 and multiply by 14.

Cottage cheese with a combination of other components allows you not only to lose a couple of kilograms:

• with milk – has a beneficial effect on the nervous system, improves sleep;
• with green tea – tones, removes excess fluid from the body;
• with bananas – improves mood, relieves depression, satisfies hunger;
• with fruits - saturates the body with vitamins, removes cholesterol.

Cleaning ourselves with cereals

Fasting days on cereals are what beginners are advised to start with. Satiety, effect, simplicity, minimum side effects and contraindications. True, it’s very monotonous. ,If you really can’t bear it, then you can add to the cooked cereal:

• green tea without sugar;
• 1-2 fresh tomatoes or cucumbers;
• 1-2 glasses of kefir.

Buckwheat, rice or oatmeal?

It’s up to you to decide which cereal to choose—some people like oatmeal better, others like bulgur. The most popular option is buckwheat. Even many skeptics believe that a fasting day on buckwheat works!

Although any other cereal (meaning pp-variants, not semolina or white rice) has a similar effect. Ideally, it should be green buckwheat, but its taste is not for everyone.

You can cook the cereal without salt, sugar and oil (here about buckwheat, for example, and here about brown rice), or you can simply pour boiling water over it overnight and wrap it up - by morning your food for the whole day is ready! The proportions are simple - 1 part dry cereal - 2.5 parts water. You need about 1 kg of ready-made porridge per day. That is, boil or steam about 300 g of cereal.

Divide this volume into 5-6 meals.

By the way, this is apparently where the myth came from that healthy eating is all tasteless buckwheat.

Unloading on buckwheat

Brew buckwheat porridge with water and without salt. As a seasoning, you can add fresh herbs, which will give a slightly salty taste. It is best to take green buckwheat; when cooked, it has an oily texture, which makes the porridge not as dry as it would be with brown buckwheat. In addition, it is in green that all the nutrients that are so valuable for unloading are preserved. Brown buckwheat is thermally processed, which is why it has less benefits.

During the day, eat buckwheat in small portions, but often. In addition, you can add kefir, green or herbal tea, cucumber salad, fresh herbs and 2 eggs if you are hungry.

Reader's review

Marina

I don’t cook buckwheat, but steam it. When I stopped breastfeeding, I wanted to get in shape as quickly as possible and for this purpose I spent fasting days every week. I chose Saturdays for these purposes - after the work week and before the second day off. I ate buckwheat as much as I wanted and drank green tea. At lunch I always added a boiled egg to buckwheat so that I wouldn’t get too hungry in the evening. I managed to lose 4 kg from 59 kg in 6 weeks. The result pleased me.

Delicious fruit, berry and vegetable options

If you love fruits and berries, then you will definitely like these ways to unload. It’s delicious and what I like is that you don’t have to cook! But if you don’t mind tinkering in the kitchen, then make a mixed fruit salad or bake apples and pears. By the way, unloading on baked apples is an excellent solution for those whose stomachs do not cope well with raw fruits.

Vegetables are not as tasty, but they provide a huge field for imagination - from raw vegetable salads (I recommend “Brush”) to baked or steamed ones. Just remember that when unloading, you cannot use any dressings other than a drop of lemon juice !

Vegetable fasting days

Vegetables are the basis for any healthy diet, and they are also good for resting the body. If you don’t have problems with your stomach, then arrange a fasting day on vegetable salads; you can, of course, do some mono-option, for example, a fasting day on cucumbers. But why bother if the effect of properly prepared salads is almost the same. Cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, some fresh cabbage, lettuce and greens, bell peppers are an excellent basis for a daily menu to unload. The total amount of vegetables is no more than 2 kg.

Zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli, green beans - these are also quite acceptable for vegetable unloading. True, in their raw form it is difficult to come up with something edible from them, but in boiled form (for example, vegetable soups without oil, salt), or even baked, it is quite possible.

Even potatoes are suitable for a fasting day! True, only in baked form without additives and in the amount of 6-8 medium pieces. If these are new potatoes (here, by the way, about potatoes and food in general), then you can increase it to 15 pcs.

Apple unloading

Just apples once a week is as popular as kefir day. The effect is similar - the intestines are perfectly cleansed, a feeling of lightness and vigor is guaranteed, an average of 2 kg is lost per day! Or you can combine apples and kefir.

Only a fasting day on apples has many side effects:

• flatulence and bloating;
• diarrhea;
• acute feeling of hunger.

And if you also have gastritis, peptic ulcers, high acidity and sensitive tooth enamel, consider other options. As a last resort, try sitting on baked apples. The rules are simple:

• 1-1.5 kg of fruit (preferably sweet varieties);
• divide into 5-6 doses;
• drink about 2 liters of water;
• You can have green tea and brewed coffee without sugar.

Dedicated to banana lovers

It is generally accepted that losing weight and bananas are not compatible. They say there are a lot of carbohydrates and high calorie content. It's not all that scary, believe me! Bananas are perfect for a full carbohydrate fasting day. Yes, there won’t be a minus of 3 kg from them, a maximum of 1.5 kg. But you and I remember that fasting days are days that only help you effectively lose weight. And the weight that goes away after unloading is mainly water and intestinal contents, and not fat from the sides and abdomen. Therefore, feel free to buy a kilogram of ripe and tasty bananas and unload easily, satisfyingly and tasty.

The calorie content of 100 g of bananas is no more than 90 kcal, so there will definitely be a calorie deficit . Try to choose small fruits, then 5-6 bananas will come to 1 kg - it is convenient to divide them into the same number of meals.

Although these fruits do not have the highest glycemic index, people diagnosed with diabetes should still approach the decision thoughtfully and carefully.

Delicious detox on watermelon or melon

At the end of summer and beginning of autumn, a fasting day on watermelon won’t hurt, reviews and results are usually impressive - up to 3 kg minus ! Melon does not give the same effect, but close. This is explained primarily by the excellent diuretic properties of melons - all excess liquid comes out, swelling simply “melts”, and the kidneys and blood vessels are also cleansed. Well, it’s very tasty. In addition, problems with the gastrointestinal tract during watermelon unloading are a rare occurrence. But if you have kidney stones or sand, you need to be very careful with watermelons and melons.

You can eat up to 2 kg of watermelon or up to 1.5 kg of melon per day. Water, tea without sugar = this is not prohibited.

Pineapple unloading

Pineapple is the most popular fruit among those losing weight. It contains the famous bromelain, an enzyme that promotes the breakdown of fats. And yes - it really works, so unloading on pineapples for weight loss is very useful..

Just do not forget that this substance is found exclusively in fresh fruits - canned or any other fruits are not suitable for weight loss.

The amount of pineapple pulp per day is up to 1 kg. It is better to drink it with water, as the astringent taste spoils the whole picture a little.

The most effective methods of unloading

The effectiveness of a particular diet is a relative concept. Each body is individual, reacts differently to stress, perceives and assimilates foods. Therefore, the best option for yourself can only be selected experimentally. Judging by the reviews of “users”, as well as listening to the opinions of nutritionists, the most noticeable results can be obtained by adhering to the diets described below. You can stop at one type of unloading or alternate between different ones. So, we present to your attention the most effective fasting days for losing weight.

Fasting day on the water

“Liquid” unloading is called the most complex and most effective, if only carried out correctly. Many people begin to “unload” the day after the feast or immediately after the holidays, but nutritionists recommend eliminating lactic acid, meat, and flour dishes at least a day before the “X” day and switching to light foods. Naturally, everything is fatty, fried, salted and smoked too. It is better to prepare water in advance. It can be non-carbonated mineral or regular purified, but not boiled.

Really effective fasting days for weight loss are as “strict” as possible. I exclude food completely. You need to drink every hour, so that you get at least 3 liters per day. Due to the fact that the stomach is constantly filled with liquid, there should not be a very strong feeling of hunger. The strictest version of unloading states that on this day you cannot drink tea, coffee or juices, only water.

Advice! It’s very difficult, but you need to maintain a positive attitude and stick with it until the end. Of course, listening to how you feel. If weakness, dizziness or other unfavorable symptoms appear, the experiment should be completed.

You need to get out of the water discharge very carefully. In the morning after fasting, drink a glass of water and eat some steamed vegetables for stewing. For the next day you can only eat porridge, vegetables and fruits.

Fasting day on cucumbers

A vegetable that is 95% water? nutritionists adore it, and the cucumber fasting day for weight loss is so popular that it does not need advertising. Cucumbers are a product with a negative calorie content (the body spends more on digesting them than it receives), and it is much easier to get enough of them (even if only for a short time) than with water.

Those who have not yet encountered the cucumber diet “face to face” should know that this vegetable is a strong diuretic.

So during the day it is better to be close to the toilet. Active social life will have to be postponed; after lunch, weakness may appear, especially in the legs. Some people experience increased bowel movements. A one-day cucumber fasting is indicated for uric acid diathesis, obesity, hypertension, gout, arthrosis and atherosclerosis.

For “green” unloading you will need 1.5-2 kg of fresh cucumbers. This amount is distributed into 5-6 doses. Drinking without restrictions. For variety, you can prepare a salad of cucumbers with herbs, which can be seasoned with a spoon of vegetable oil. Salt, of course, is not allowed. Cucumbers remove excess water, which will interfere with this process, but you can add lemon juice to the salad. At lunchtime, the diet can be supplemented with a boiled egg. It's a pity it won't save you from hunger.

Kefir fasting day

Kefir can compete with cucumbers in popularity. A lot has been written about the beneficial properties of the product, the most important thing is that it is available all year round, helps normalize blood pressure, is effective in preventing atherosclerosis and, of course, normalizes the functioning of the digestive tract.

A mono-diet on low-fat kefir will be most effective. The unloading regime is extremely simple: every 2-3 hours you need to drink 1-2 glasses of kefir. By the middle of the day you will become quite tired of the product. For taste, you can chop dill or parsley into it, and for variety, do not drink it, but eat it with a spoon. If you want to eat between meals (you definitely will), you can drink a glass of water. And if the feeling of hunger is very strong, a tablespoon of wheat bran, an unsweetened vegetable or fruit will help to interrupt it.

There are many options for kefir unloading. Kefir is often combined with vegetables, lean meat or honey. “Feding” fasting days for weight loss on kefir are perfect for people with weak willpower and those for whom certain conditions are dictated by their health.

Apple fasting day

Apple is a slow-digesting fruit with low calorie content. It contains 85% water, and the remaining 15% is a valuable storehouse of vitamins and minerals, it is not for nothing that it is called “rejuvenating”. Apples are affordable and healthy, they improve immunity, contain antioxidants, regulate intestinal microflora and promote fat burning. The one-day apple diet is also called a fasting day for losing belly fat. But every coin has two sides. Apples can cause swelling, and a strict apple diet is absolutely contraindicated for diseases of the digestive tract (gastritis, ulcers, high acidity, biliary dyskinesia). In these cases, the use of baked apples is allowed.

Let's start with a description of the simplest option for apple unloading, for which you will need a couple of kilograms of apples.

The procedure is as follows: 2 kg of green, unsweetened apples are divided into 5-6 doses or eaten one approximately every hour.

You can eat fruits fresh or baked, or combine them. It is better to use sour apples, but they can increase your appetite.

If it’s difficult to survive on apples alone, you can try malolactic milk relief. You are allowed to eat 1.5 kg of apples and 500 g of low-fat cottage cheese or drink 1.5 liters of kefir per day.

Fasting day on buckwheat

It’s probably not worth saying once again that buckwheat is incredibly healthy, containing microelements, vitamins and amino acids. In this case, it is more important that cereals are rich in dietary fiber, which improve digestion, help restore normal function and cleanse the intestines. Like many other cereals, buckwheat is a food with a low glycemic index, and therefore dulls the feeling of hunger for a long time.

It is better to prepare for buckwheat the day before. A cup of cereal (about 250 g) is poured into a small saucepan, poured with boiling water (0.5 liters), covered with a lid and left overnight. Naturally without salt, but you can add herbs as spices. In the morning, the porridge is divided into 4-5 servings. By the way, it is better to use green buckwheat rather than fried brown buckwheat. According to experts, all nutrients are preserved in it. If the feeling of hunger has worsened, you are allowed to have a green apple as a snack, but it is better to drink water.

Fasting day according to Malysheva (on rice)

Elena Malysheva offers a wide variety of fasting days for weight loss, options, as they say, for every taste. The TV presenter calls rice fasting day one of the most effective. It is good because it has practically no contraindications. The main problem is the likelihood of constipation. Therefore, it is better not to indulge in rice for those who suffer from hemorrhoids or irregular bowel movements. After meals, it is advisable to drink teas with a laxative effect, and start the next morning with kefir and fresh vegetables. In the intestines, grains work as a sorbent; they absorb water and toxins, which are then removed from the body.

To prepare proper rice porridge, take 350-400 grams of low-calorie brown rice and 0.5 liters of water. The cereal must first be soaked in water for several hours. The grains are boiled until half cooked. All porridge (up to 1 kg) is divided into portions. Be sure to drink a lot of fluids, you can drink water, green tea, or herbal infusions.

Protein fasting day: options

I am a fan of protein fasting. There is definitely no hunger here - proteins are absorbed slowly, that is, long-term saturation is ensured and sugar spikes are excluded.

True, chewing dry white meat all day or eating only eggs (cottage cheese) is boring. It is ideal to combine all these protein sources.

Sample daily menu for protein fasting:

• Breakfast: 100 g cottage cheese (minimum fat) and unsweetened green tea
• Snack: 2 boiled eggs
• Lunch: chicken broth (200 ml) with 100 g chicken breast
• Afternoon snack: cottage cheese and tea;
• Dinner: boiled or baked lean fish (200 g), half a cucumber.

Very tasty and even varied for unloading. And some athletes, I know, occasionally indulge in protein shakes—when, instead of meals, they simply drink a portion of such a drink with water or milk.

When a day on squirrels is contraindicated:

• pregnancy, breastfeeding, is not even discussed;
• if heavy physical activity cannot be avoided;
• for diseases of the kidneys, liver, cholelithiasis;
• diabetes.

Menu for egg day

You can unload on eggs, or rather, on egg whites. 2-3 yolks are allowed. Steam omelettes, simply boiled eggs, scrambled eggs in the microwave, whipped whites with a pinch of cinnamon or lemon juice - you can create some variety in your diet. The main thing is that the number of eggs per day is no more than 6! We are talking about chicken, which can be replaced with quail (1 chicken - 4 quail).

On this day, in addition to water and tea without sugar, you can drink 0.5 liters of kefir (preferably after lunch, divided into 2-3 doses).

A day on squirrels is not only a decent plumb, but also actually burns fat in the body!

Correct unloading on chicken breast

Unloading on white meat chicken, although boring, is satisfying. And you can choose a lot of recipes - bake in a frying pan or simply boil. If dry meat is too disgusting, boil it and eat it like soup - with broth. True, you need to cook it in such a way that there are no other products, including salt. But I think a spoonful of kefir and herbs won’t do any harm when baked. However, you can also add dill or parsley to the broth.

The weight of meat per day with a single option is 600 g. If you want to try combined fasting (adding vegetables, fermented milk, etc.), then there should still be at least 500 g of meat.

Cottage cheese is another popular option.

Curd unloading is 600-700 g of cottage cheese per day. Choose only low-fat (but not completely fat-free), tasty, tender cottage cheese, otherwise after unloading you will not be able to look at it for a long time.

The rules are predictable:

• divide into 5-6 doses;
• drink a lot of water all day;
• add tea, coffee, uzvar without sugar.

Benefits and contraindications

Fasting days will help in the unequal fight against excess weight. They will help get rid of heaviness after busy holidays, helping to gently cleanse the intestines of toxins. Indicated for certain diseases. So, for example, for kidney diseases it is recommended to spend “watermelon” days, heart and blood vessels – “potato” days, and for joint problems – “cucumber” days. Only without doing it on your own, after consulting a doctor. Unloading is mandatory for those who constantly follow various fitness diets, are fond of protein foods, artificial proteins and other “heavy foods”.

Patients with diabetes, pregnant and lactating women should not unload. People exhausted by a long-term illness and suffering from gastrointestinal diseases (only “well-fed” unloading is indicated after consultation with a gastroenterologist). It is not advisable to unload during menstruation.

Advice! You shouldn’t get carried away with “hungry” unloadings; they are carried out no more than once a week, while “well-fed” ones can be done 2-3 times.

We complete the cleansing according to all the rules

It’s not enough to unload according to the rules; you also need to get out of it competently:

• Be sure to drink 1-2 glasses of water at night , this will additionally remove toxins;
• start the morning with light food , just take into account what kind of fasting you had - if it’s protein, then it’s better to have breakfast with something carbohydrate, for example, a can of oatmeal, and vice versa, eat cottage cheese if you spent the whole day on watermelon or porridge.
• lunch and dinner should also be delicious and as dietary as possible - steamed or boiled;
• do not reduce the amount of water - the body still continues the cleansing started by unloading;
• do not increase the portions - it was not in vain that we achieved the effect of contracting the stomach;
• no alcohol - I think this is already clear.
