Some women dream of losing weight so much that they are willing to take "extreme measures" to it - until they refuse to eat altogether. It is they who resort to various exotic and risky diets, the menu of which is unbalanced and can be harmful to health. Unsurprisingly, such regimes sometimes bring their victims to hospital beds.
Some women dream of losing weight so much that they are willing to take "extreme measures" to do so - even refusing to eat altogether. It is they who resort to various exotic and risky diets, the menu of which is unbalanced and can be harmful to health. Unsurprisingly, such regimes sometimes bring their victims to hospital beds.
Drinking on a diet is also dangerous. In order not to be unfounded, we will analyze the essence of this diet point by point and provide a detailed critical explanation of all its key points. And it's up to you to decide if the fight against the extra pounds of these victims is worth it.
The essence of the diet
While the recommendations for most diets are to eat at least something, sort of a limited list of foods, there is nothing about this diet at all. Just drink it - and that's at least a liter and a half of water a day.
In addition, it is allowed to consume milk, liquid fermented dairy products, juices, mineral water, cocoa and broths, mashed soups, tea, coffee (by the way, itthere is no clarification anywhere if sugar is allowed). Menu "to the blockade of Leningrad", and on a voluntary basis.
The authors of the diet take care of the health of their “rooms” in a special way, stating that soda is harmful to the body and should not be consumed.
This diet is not offered for a week, or even two - but exactly thirty days. The creators of the diet speak of wonderful sensations and an incredible feeling of lightness that arises in a few weeks.
The pioneers of the method argue that the severity of the diet is that we cannot force ourselves not to chew food, but only to drink. We assume that we grasp our stress - and therefore our problems. They prove gullible and dreaming of losing weight to women (and men, although there are less) that there are enough calories in such a diet for life, and the discomfort associated with the diet is notis that psychological.
The authors promise to cleanse the hollow organs at the start of the diet. Moreover, the type of organs they have in mind remains a mystery. After all, the bladder, in fact, is also a hollow organ. On the same days, the appearance of secretions from the body and the formation of mucus on the tongue are promised (most likely, the authors spoke of plaque).
In addition, the developers talk about cleaning dense organs - liver and kidneys. Therefore, a feeling of slight discomfort in their area is promised. At the last stage of eating, cleansing is promised at the cellular level.
In addition, the authors weaken those who lose weight and allow them to compose a "diet" as they please - taking into account of course the promised liter and a half of water per day. The apotheosis of this description is the phrase "You must watch your chair" - they want it to be regular! Suddenly, a weight loss of 10 to 15 kg is promised, but at what price?
Benefits of a drinking diet
According to doctors, the only advantage of this diet is the formation of willpower, with the help of which you can force your body not to eat for thirty whole days, although in practice it is'a deliberate hunger strike. The diet no longer has positive aspects for a person, and especially for his health.
If the authors recommended such fasting days, only allowing all ingredients used to be drunk, such as a discharge (one or two days per week or per month) - it would be common sense. But the deliberate starvation of the body for a month is masochism.
Harm from alcohol consumption
It is worth talking about the dangers of such a "diet" in detail - maybe those who lose weight will wonder if they need such sacrifices for health and count the coststreatment when they leave such a “diet”.
Fasting itself is stress and slow death of the body, the loss of cells in some organs of the body becomes irreversible. During fasting - even partial, as in this diet - dystrophy of internal organs occurs and they lose up to 75% of their activity.
In the future, it will take at least another half a month to get out of this diet, otherwise the body will refuse to eat at all, anorexia will develop - a dangerous disease involving the psyche.
The stories about cleansing the internal organs are pure deception. There is no cleaning of the hollow organs (bladder, stomach and intestines), there is nothing to clean for a whole month, so they are hollow, which can be filled and emptied as needed - several times a day.
To cleanse the stomach and intestines, just take a laxative or do a day of fasting on kefir or apples. Drinking clean water is enough to clean your bladder.
Next, the authors talk about the appearance of the selections. Mucus speaks of damage to internal organs and the inflammatory process they contain. A white-coated tongue is a sign of gastritis and duodenitis, usually with a decrease in secretion, or inflammation with a violation of the digestive function of the intestine.
With a monthly intake of fluids only, mucosal atrophy and lack of formation of enzymes for digestion are formed. In addition, the body will refuse to take solid food, vomiting and diarrhea will occur immediately. It will take years of your life to develop enzymes.
Due to the disruption of fat intake in the body (if you do not use vegetable oil), the skin will lose its nutrition and become dull, dry and rough, it will crack. Due to the abundance of juices and allergens, you can develop skin and intestinal allergies, which will not add beauty or appeal.
This is protein deprivation, which means that the function of hematopoiesis with the development of anemia, sexual function and immunity will suffer. With such a diet, many girls lose their periods, develop serious infections and pneumonia, even in the summer.
The authors recommend keeping an eye on the stool. But, much to their regret, it will not be necessary to monitor him - he will either be absent for the first time, while the remnants of enzymes will continue to cope with the incoming fluid, or in a week or two, diarrhea will develop. profuse diarrhea due to disturbance of the pancreas - this will inevitably lead to dehydration and toxicosis. And then - to know the intensive care unit resuscitator.
Due to protein loss and active drink load, “hungry” edema will occur. After all, the expression “to get hungry” is a real medical condition. Therefore, all the drunk liquid will remain in the tissues, forming edema there, and the weight will be slightly lost, only due to the division of its own tissues.
Won't the weight go away?
Of course, even the most fat and thrifty bodies lose weight during a month of hunger strike. But health leaves you with weight. Plus, when you quit the diet, the extra pounds can come back to you three times. Health, however, may not return to you at all - is it worth 15 kilograms of such sacrifices? After all, there are more balanced and gentler methods.
Is it really impossible?
In this form - under no circumstances. However, there is a healthy grain in this method. By using only drink, you can go through fasting days. You won't be able to drink a large number of high-calorie drinks, which means that one or two days (but not in a row) a week, you will be able to unload your body.
On average, a course of such an impulsive fast can be carried out 3-4 weeks in a row, choosing certain days of the week. For example:
- the first week we don't eat Monday or Friday
- for the second - Wednesday and Saturday,
- the third - Monday and Thursday,
- the fourth - Tuesday and Saturday.
In general, the opinion of doctors about this type of "diet" is categorical: in the form described by the authors - one hundred percent "no", such as fasting days - perhaps, but only in agreementwith the doctor.
