According to the opinions of people who follow this diet, it is much easier to follow. In addition, it also improves 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. His 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, before each meal, half an hour before, it is advisable to drink 1 glass of liquid. In this case, after eating it is necessary to refrain from drinking water for at least 120 minutes.

This is necessary so that digestion occurs faster due to the release of gastric juice, while the entry of fluid into the stomach will slow down this process. This will also relieve the feeling of heaviness in the digestive tract.

It is fundamentally important that foods are not mixed with water,That is, after drinking water, it is necessary that at least 20 minutes pass before eating. You must also remember that drinking any other liquid, juice, tea or coffee, is considered a complete meal.

Water with such a diet 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 very overweight.

The water diet was developed by several nutritionists and tested on a group of subjects. According to the results of the study, it was found that following the rules of such a diet guarantees getting rid of excess weight. However, to obtain the maximum effect, it is necessary to adhere to some dietary restrictions.

In addition, there are contraindications to the use of an aqueous diet, which you need to familiarize yourself with so as not to cause harm to 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. The body's metabolic processes can be accelerated by drinking 1 glass of water before meals. This helps increase the rate of burning accumulated fat.
2. Plain still water has a calorie content of 0, while it relieves the feeling of hunger well.
3. The water diet technique helps to normalize the functioning of the digestive system and other functioning systems of the body. In turn, the proper functioning of the body improves the condition of the skin.
4. Still 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, reviews of which say that it helps to lose up to 10 kg per month, is not only intended for weight loss. In addition, its observance helps to slow down the aging of the body, soThis diet is recommended for those who suffer from "dryness" of the body,which refers to age-related fluid deficiency.

With age, the part of the brain responsible for feeling thirsty begins to send and process signals more slowly, so the amount of water you ingest is less. For this reason, a water deficiency begins to develop in the body, which in turn causes weakness and dryness of the 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 gather the skin into a fold. If the fold gathers easily and forms wrinkles, we can conclude that the skin is dehydrated.

Furthermore, once the fold is released, the skin will slowly return to its previous shape and a mark will be left that will slowly pass. If the described results were obtained during the experiment, then an aqueous diet should be used to restore the level of moisture in the body.

Furthermore, by following a watery diet you can get rid of excess weight. However, it is worth considering that losing a small number of kilograms is much more difficult. Therefore, if you have 2-3 extra kilos, it is better to choose another diet, while this diet and drinking regimen will help you get rid of 10 kg.

Consolidate the result

The water diet, reviews of which speak of good results in losing weight, like others, needs a proper outlet, because this can consolidate the result. Different types of aqueous diets have different exit methods.

After such a diet, which only involves eating large amounts of fluids and permitted foods, you need to go out, gradually expanding your diet. You must return to the usual menu within the same period of time as you followed the diet.

There is also the water monodiet, which consists of drinking only liquid for several days.It can be called fasting. It is more difficult to abandon that diet because the body adapts to it and rebuilds the metabolic process. The longer such a diet has been followed, the more carefully its termination will have to be approached.

After fasting for 48 hours, it is necessary to leave for 4 days. In this case, the body has not yet had time to rebuild itself and stopping the diet will not be difficult. It is necessary to gradually include squeezed juices first in your diet, then fruits and vegetables, milk, cottage cheese, sour cream, and after 4 days you can start eating normal foods.

By fasting for more than 3 days, the body already has time to begin to rebuild itself and receive the necessary nutrients from its internal reserves, so the functioning of the digestive system may be inadequate. It takes at least 10 days to get out of this state and normalize the functioning of internal organs.

Every day you need to add foods to your diet in the following order:

1. Fresh juice.
2. Raw carrot and white cabbage salad.
3. Vegetable stew.
4. Fermented dairy products.
5. Cereal porridge cooked in milk or water.
6. Lean meats (you can cook them in a steamer, oven or grill).

Starting from the 7th day of release, you can combine all permitted products and after 3 days return to your normal diet. Additionally, when abandoning the diet, intense physical activity is not recommended; you can do a light warm-up or exercise. Following these rules will help you complete the diet correctly, thus ensuring its results.

When to expect an effect

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

The effect of following the rules of such a diet depends on several factors:

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

Those who need to lose more lose weight better.If a person has 1 to 3 extra kilos, it is better to completely abandon the water diet, as it will not give results. 5-10 kg can be lost in 30-60 days, and more than 10 kg can be lost in 25-30 days.

However, it is worth remembering 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 liquids, it is advisable to abandon the diet and take a break for 30 to 40 days and then start again. This is necessary in order not to harm your health by overloading the excretory system.

A watery diet can relieve a person of excess weight, without forcing him to adhere to strict restrictions. However, it still has rules, compliance with which will help improve the effect of losing weight and will not harm the health of the body.

This technique also has contraindications, so before following the drinking regimen it is necessary to read the reviews and consult with a nutritionist.
