Combine the result

The water diet, whose reviews speak of good results for weight loss, like others, requires a proper approach to it, because it can compound the result. Different water diets have different exit methods.

After such a diet, which involves taking only a large amount of liquid and permitted foods, you should go out, gradually expanding your diet. You should return to the regular menu for the same period of time that you followed the diet.

There is also a water mono-diet, which involves drinking only liquids for several days.This can also be called fasting. It is more difficult to get out of such a diet, because the body adapts to such a diet and rebuilds the metabolic process. The longer such a diet lasts, the more careful it is to stop it.

After 48 hours of fasting, it is necessary to go outside for 4 days. In this case, the body has not yet had time to rebuild itself, and it will not be difficult to stop the diet. You should gradually introduce self-squeezed juices into your diet, then fruits and vegetables, milk, cottage cheese, sour cream, and after 4 days you can start eating regular food.

When you fast for more than 3 days, the body has time to start rebuilding and get the necessary nutrients from its internal reserves, so the activity of the digestive system may be inadequate. It takes at least 10 days to get out of this situation to normalize the work of internal organs.

Every day you should add food to your diet in the following order:

1. Fresh juice.
2. Raw carrot and cabbage salad.
3. Vegetable stew.
4. Fermented dairy products.
5. Cereal porridge cooked in milk or water.
6. Lean meats (they can be steamed, baked or grilled).

Starting from the 7th day of the release, you can combine all the allowed products and after 3 days you can return to your normal diet. Also, when leaving the diet, it is not recommended to engage in intensive physical activity, you can do a light warm-up or exercise. Following these rules will help to complete the diet correctly and thereby ensure its results.

When to expect the effect

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

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

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

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

But it should be remembered that such a diet cannot last more than a month.so you will need to run it several times to get the desired effect. After a month of drinking liquids, you should quit the diet and take a break for 30-40 days, then start again. This is necessary in order not to harm your health by overloading the excretory system.

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

This technique also has contraindications, so you should read reviews and consult a nutritionist before following the drinking regime.
