Some women dream of losing weight so much that they are ready to go to “extreme measures” for this - even a total refusal to eat. They are the ones who resort to various exotic and risky diets, whose menu is unbalanced and can negatively affect health. Unsurprisingly, these diets sometimes take their victims to the hospital bed.
Some women dream so much about losing weight that they are ready to go to “extreme measures” for this - even a total refusal to eat. They are the ones who resort to various exotic and risky diets, whose menu is unbalanced and can negatively affect health. Unsurprisingly, these diets sometimes take 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 provide a detailed critical explanation of all its key points. And it's up to you to decide if the fight with extra pounds is worth it.
The essence of the diet
If the recommendations for most diets suggest eating at least something, some kind of limited food list, there is absolutely nothing on this diet. You just need to drink - and that's at least a pint and a half of water a day.
Furthermore, it is allowed to consume milk, liquid fermented dairy products, juices, mineral water, cocoa and broths, mashed soups, tea, coffee (in fact, there is no explanation anywhere if sugar is allowed). Menu "a la blockade Leningrad", and on a voluntary basis.
The authors of the food diet take care of the health of their "pupils" in a peculiar way, stipulating that the soda is harmful to the body and should not be consumed.
It is recommended to follow this diet not for a week or two - but exactly thirty days. The creators of the diet talk about wonderful sensations and a feeling of incredible lightness that comes in a few weeks.
The pioneers of the method claim that the severity of the diet is that we cannot force ourselves not to chew food, but only to drink. We are supposed to take advantage of our stress - and therefore our problems. They are naive and dreaming of losing weight, women (and men, although there is less) that there are enough calories in such a diet for life, and the discomfort of the diet is only psychological.
The authors promise to clean the hollow organs at the beginning of the diet. Furthermore, what kind 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 meant plaque).
In addition, the developers talk about cleaning up dense organs - the liver and kidneys. Therefore, a feeling of mild discomfort in your area is promised. In the last stage of the diet, cleansing is promised at the cellular level.
Furthermore, the authors give a weakness to those who are losing weight and allow them to "diet" at their discretion - taking, of course, the promised liter and a half of water a day. The apotheosis of this description is the phrase "You need to take care of your chair" - they want it to be regular! As a result, a 10 to 15 kg weight loss is promised, but at what cost?
Benefits of a food diet
According to doctors, the only advantage of this diet can be called willpower training, with which you can force the body not to eat for thirty full days, although in practice it is a deliberate hunger strike. The diet no longer brings positive aspects to a person and, mainly, to his health.
If the authors recommended such fasting days, allowing only to drink all the ingredients used, as discharge (one or two days a week or month) - that would be common sense. But the body's deliberate hunger for a month is masochism.
Impairments in the drinking diet
It is worth talking in detail about the dangers of such a "diet" - perhaps it will make those who are losing weight wonder if they need such sacrifices on the part of their health and calculate the costs of treatment by 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 partial, as in this diet - dystrophy of Organs internal organs occurs and they lose up to 75% of their activity.
In the future, it will take at least another half month to get off this diet, otherwise the body will refuse to eat, anorexia will develop - a dangerous disease involving the psyche.
Stories about cleaning internal organs are pure disappointment. There is no cleaning of hollow organs (bladder, stomach and intestines), there is nothing to clean for an entire month, they are hollow and can be filled and emptied as needed - several times a day.
To clean your stomach and intestines, just take a laxative or fast with kefir or apples. Drinking clean water is sufficient to clean the bladder.
Next, the authors talk about what the selections look like. The mucus speaks of damage to internal organs and the inflammatory process in them. The white-coated tongue is a sign of gastritis and duodenitis, usually with decreased secretion or inflammation with violation of the digestive function of the intestine.
With a monthly intake of only fluids, atrophy of the mucosa and lack of enzymes for digestion occurs. In addition, the body will refuse to eat solid foods, vomiting and diarrhea will occur immediately. It will take years of your life to develop enzymes.
Due to the interruption of fat intake (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 do not add beauty and attractiveness.
This is protein deprivation, which means that the function of hematopoiesis with the development of anemia, sexual function and immunity will be impaired. With this diet, many girls miss their periods, develop serious infections and pneumonia, even in summer.
The authors recommend keeping an eye on the stool. But, to his great regret, there will be no need to monitor him - he will be absent for the first time, while the remains of enzymes will still deal with the incoming liquid, or after a week or two, diarrhea will develop profuse diarrhea due torupture of the pancreas - this will inevitably lead to dehydration and toxicosis. And then - to meet the resuscitator in the intensive care unit.
As a result of the loss of protein and the active drink load, edema of "hunger" will occur. After all, the expression "swell from hunger" is a real medical pathology. Therefore, all the liquid ingested will remain in the tissues, forming edema in them, and there will be a slight weight loss, just due to the unfolding of your own tissues.
Doesn't the weight go away?
Of course, even the fattest and most economical bodies lose weight during a month of hunger strike. But health leaves you with weight. In addition, when you leave the diet, those extra pounds can return to you three times more. Health, however, may not return to you at all - is it worth 15 kilos of such sacrifices? After all, there are more balanced and smooth methods.
Is it really impossible?
As such - in no case. However, there is a healthy grain in this method. Using just drink, you can spend days fasting. You will not be able to drink a large number of high calorie drinks, which means that one or two days (but not consecutive) a week you will be able to discharge your body.
On average, a course of this type of impulse fasting can be done for 3 to 4 consecutive weeks, choosing certain days of the week. For example:
- during the first week we don’t eat on Monday and Friday,
- for the second - on Wednesday and Saturday,
- on the third - on Monday and Thursday,
- in the fourth - on Tuesday and Saturday.
In general, doctors' opinion of this type of "diet" is categorical: in the form described by the authors - one hundred percent "no", like fasting days - perhaps, but only according to the doctor.
