Some women dream of losing weight so badly that they are ready to take "extreme measures" for it - to completely refuse to eat. They are the ones who resort to various exotic and risky diets, whose menu is unbalanced and can negatively affect health. Not surprisingly, such diets sometimes bring their victims to the hospital bed.
Some women dream of losing weight so badly that they are ready to take "extreme measures" to do so - to completely give up eating. They are the ones who resort to various exotic and risky diets, whose menu is unbalanced and can negatively affect health. Not surprisingly, such diets sometimes bring their victims to the hospital bed.
Drinking a diet is also dangerous. In order not to be unfounded, we will analyze the essence of this diet point by point and give a detailed critical explanation of all its key points. And you decide if the fight against excess weight of such victims is worth it.
The essence of the diet
If the recommendations for most diets suggest eating at least something, some limited list of foods, there is nothing in this diet. You only need to drink - and this is at least one and a half liters of water a day.
In addition, it is permissible to consume milk, liquid fermented dairy products, juices, mineral water, cocoa and broths, puree soups, tea, coffee (by the way, there is no indication as to whether sugar can be used). Menu "a la blockade of Leningrad", and on a voluntary basis.
The authors of the drinking diet take special care of the health of their "compartments", providing that soda is harmful to the body and should not be consumed.
This diet is not available for a week or even two - but for exactly thirty days. The creators of the diet talk about wonderful sensations and a feeling of incredible lightness that comes after a few weeks.
The pioneers of the method claim that the rigor of the diet is that we cannot force ourselves not to chew food, but only to drink. We are supposed to take away our stress - and hence our problems. They prove to be gullible and dream of losing weight women (and men, although they are less than them), that in such a diet there are enough calories for life, and the discomfort of the diet is only psychological.
The authors promise to clean the hollow organs at the beginning of drinking. Furthermore, what organs they mean remains a mystery. After all, the bladder is actually 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 meant plaque).
In addition, the developers talk about cleansing the dense organs - the liver and kidneys. Therefore, a feeling of slight discomfort in their area is promised. At the last stage of the diet, purification at the cellular level is promised.
In addition, the authors give weakness to those who lose weight and allow them to compose a "diet" at their discretion - taking into account, of course, the promised liter and a half of water a day. The apotheosis of this description is the phrase "You have to look at your chair" - they want it to be regular! As a result, weight loss of 10 to 15 kg is promised, but at what cost?
Benefits of 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 days, although in practice it is a deliberate hunger strike. Diet no longer brings positive aspects for a person, and especially for his health.
If the authors recommend such days on an empty stomach, which allow you to drink only all the components consumed, such as discharge (one or two days a week or month) - this would be common sense. But deliberate starvation of the body for a month is masochism.
Harm from drinking diet
It's worth talking in detail about the dangers of such a "diet" - perhaps this will make those who lose weight think about whether they need such victims for health and calculate the cost of treatment when leaving such"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 partially, as with this diet - the internal organs degenerate and they lose up to 75% of their activity.
In the future, it will take at least another half 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.
Stories of cleansing the internal organs are pure deception. There is no cleaning of hollow organs (bladder, stomach and intestines), there is nothing to clean for a whole month, therefore they are hollow, which can be filled and emptied if necessary - several times a day.
To cleanse the stomach and intestines, it is enough to take a laxative or make a day of fasting with kefir or apples. Drinking clean water is enough to cleanse the bladder.
Then the authors talk about the appearance of selections. The mucus speaks of damage to the internal organs and the inflammatory process in them. White tongue is a sign of gastritis and duodenitis, usually with decreased secretion or inflammation with impaired digestive function of the intestine.
At monthly intake of fluids only atrophy of the mucosa and lack of digestive enzymes are formed. In addition, the body will refuse to eat solid food, vomiting and diarrhea will appear immediately. It will take years of your life to develop enzymes.
Due to the violation of fat intake in the body (if you do not use vegetable oil), the skin will lose its nutrition and will become dull, dry and rough, will crack. Due to the abundance of juices and allergens, you can develop skin and intestinal allergies that will not add beauty and attractiveness.
This is protein starvation, which means that the function of hematopoiesis will suffer with the development of anemia, sexual function and immunity. On such a diet, many girls lose their periods, develop severe infections and pneumonia, even in summer.
The authors recommend monitoring stool. But unfortunately they will not need to observe it - it will either be absent for the first time, while the remnants of enzymes will still cope with the incoming fluid, or after a week or two diarrhea will develop profuse diarrhea due to pancreatic dysfunction. - this will inevitably lead to dehydration and toxicosis. And then - to get to know the resuscitator in resuscitation.
As a result of protein loss and active drinking, "hungry" edema will occur. After all, the phrase "swell with hunger" is a real medical pathology. Therefore, all the fluid drunk will remain in the tissues, forming swelling in them and the weight will be slightly lost, just due to the splitting of their own tissues.
Won't the weight go away?
Of course, even the fattest and most frugal bodies lose weight during a month of hunger strike. But health leaves you with weight. In addition, when you leave the diet, the extra pounds can come back to you threefold. However, your health may not return at all - is it worth 15 kilograms of such victims? After all, there are more balanced and gentle methods.
Is it really impossible?
In this form - by no means. In this method, however, there is a healthy grain. Using only a drink, you can spend hungry days. You will not 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 can unload your body.
On average, a course of such impulse fasting can be held 3-4 weeks in a row, choosing certain days of the week. For example:
- We don't eat on Mondays and Fridays in the first week,
- for the second - on Wednesday and Saturday,
- on the third - Monday and Thursday,
- on the fourth - Tuesday and Saturday.
In general, the opinion of doctors about this type of "diet" is unequivocal: in the form described by the authors - one hundred percent "no", as hungry days - perhaps, but only in agreement with the doctor.
