The secret to slim stars is an actor's diet for weight loss and well-being

Natalie Portman
The acting diet is a great diet for losing weight. The result is impressive. You can lose 4 kilograms in 4 days. This diet is most often used by theatergoers, actors, dancers, ballerinas, etc. But that doesn't mean you can't use it.

After all, looking at magazine covers, watching films, attending concerts, each of you wondered how actresses, ballerinas, and theater stars manage to look so great. It's actually simple. Most of them adhere to the long-loved acting diet. Its essence is that the body is dehydrated and dried out throughout the entire time, so slight dizziness and weakness for the first few days are normal.

General rules

The actor's diet for 4 days is considered one of the most extreme and effective methods of losing excess weight.
The diet is designed with the expectation of rapid weight loss in a short period of time. The diet is especially popular among theater, ballet and film actors. In 4 days you can get rid of 4 extra pounds. Latin America is considered the birthplace of the Actor's Diet. The nutrition system, developed about half a century ago, allowed actresses not only to lose weight, but also to relax after hard filming by drinking table wine. Subsequently, a non-alcoholic version of the diet was developed.

The diet is based on a low-calorie diet and alternating mono-diets: dairy, fruit, wine, protein. This allows you to accelerate your metabolism and start processes that help normalize your weight. A well-designed diet can achieve several results at once:

• fat breakdown;
• cleansing the intestines of toxins , breakdown products, waste;
• removal of stagnant excess fluid from the body.

The end result is that swelling is eliminated, the volume of subcutaneous fat is reduced, and extra pounds are lost. Unlike most diets, the actor's diet imposes restrictions on fluid intake. There is debate regarding the usefulness of this principle.

Basic principles

The basic principles of the actor's diet are to lose extra pounds in just 4 days. Please note that the 4-day dietary restriction is intended to quickly lose weight before an important event.

The 4-day restriction should be observed once a year, since frequent use of celebrity restrictive diet menus for 4 days is fraught with consequences - with extra pounds, your health, strength, sleep will go away, and your emotional state will be shaken.

The main difference between “actor’s nutrition” and the rest is the permissibility of alcohol in the diet, and more specifically, wine. Despite the name, popcorn is not included in the list of recommended foods. The main ones are cheese and dairy products.

It is strictly forbidden to follow the restrictive diet menu of celebrities if you have:

• High blood pressure due to heart disease, that is, hypertension.
• The alcoholic drink on the menu is good for the heart, but hypertensive patients are strictly prohibited from following this limited diet. The permissible limit for heart failure is no more than one glass of wine per day;
• Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
  Products from the menu list for weight loss are contraindicated for those suffering from dysfunction of the digestive system, since alcoholic drinks damage the thin walls of the intestines and provoke the entry of microbes into the body;
• Last months of pregnancy. Let us remind you that alcohol is strictly prohibited for pregnant women;
• Infant. Nursing mothers should choose their diet especially carefully. Products designed to shed pounds will harm you and your baby;
• Adolescence. People who have not reached the age of majority and whose bodies are not strong should under no circumstances “test” the intestines in this way.

Advantages of the diet

1. Of course, the advantage of the acting diet is its effectiveness. Many people lose weight quite noticeably, which cannot but please those who want to modernize their figure.
2. Having enough protein in your diet allows you to avoid a common problem with other diets - gaining a slimmer, but flabby and inelastic body.
3. Also, many who want to transform their figure are seduced by the fact that there is no strict limit on the amount of food they eat. You are not forced to starve. You can eat as much as you need to feel full (within reasonable limits, of course).

Disadvantages of the Acting Diet

The disadvantages of the acting weight loss system include the fact that it is difficult to maintain.

Although weight, as a rule, begins to say goodbye to you after the first days of following a diet, it is quite difficult to finish what you started. This really requires strong willpower.

The menu is not balanced in terms of the amount of substances and elements that the body needs for normal functioning.

Therefore, it is very advisable to take an additional vitamin and mineral complex.

And of course, many experts in the field of proper nutrition are confused by the presence of wine in the diet. Against the background of such poor nutrition, this can harm the body.

Only people in really good health can follow such a diet. It will not please athletes, or simply people who love physical activity, since combining diet with training, other than regular exercise, is not recommended.

Many nutritionists and doctors strongly do not recommend this diet due to the reduction of fluids, because this can even provoke dehydration of the body.

Therefore, think carefully before you start losing weight using the acting method.

Menu

The actor's diet was originally designed for 4 days and provided only one menu. As it was used, several other options appeared, both in duration and in the composition of the diet or diet. Now there are similar methods for 4, 5 and 12 days, in each of which it is necessary to consume a certain set of foods during main meals. The simplest and shortest is the four-day weight loss program “like an actor.”

For 4 days

The success of this express diet depends on strict adherence to the regimen of alternating foods on specific days. You cannot use them according to a different scheme or mixed, since then there will be no proper weight loss effect. If you strictly follow all the recommendations, you can get rid of 4 kg of excess weight in 4 days. There may be several menu options.

Menu No. 1

This type of acting diet consists of 4 fasting days combined in one period of time.

The first day is cleansing

Allowed are steamed rice and fresh tomato. In terms of quantity, one of the products can be consumed unlimitedly, the other can only be taken in 1 glass. Thus, the diet can be one of the following:

• or 1 glass of cooked rice with any volume of freshly prepared tomato juice;
• or 1 glass of fresh juice with an unlimited number of servings of rice.

The diet should be carried out according to the following scheme:

• breakfast – rice, juice;
• lunch - rice;
• afternoon snack - juice;
• dinner - rice, juice.

Since salt retains fluid in the body, which is contrary to the rules of the diet, it should be abandoned. Also prohibited are any other additives - spices, sugar, seasonings.

Second day – milk day

The menu for this day consists only of low-fat cottage cheese with kefir, which can be consumed without restrictions in the following order:

• breakfast - cottage cheese;
• lunch – cottage cheese mixed with kefir, kefir separately;
• afternoon snack - kefir;
• dinner - cottage cheese, kefir.

Kefir can be drunk at any time, including at night.

The third day is protein

This day can also be called a meat day, since its diet includes any type of lean white meat in any quantity. The second mandatory product is green tea or herbal infusion, also without volume restrictions.

A sample menu might include:

• breakfast – boiled chicken breast;
• lunch – grilled veal;
• afternoon snack – stewed rabbit meat;
• dinner – boiled turkey without skin.

You can choose the types of meat at your discretion, and it is not necessary that there be several of them - you can eat only one.

Fourth day – wine day

This unusual of all diets includes 0.7 liters of table wine with a hard cheese appetizer. You can’t drink water at all on this day. Meals can be arranged according to the following schedule:

• breakfast - a glass of wine, a few pieces of cheese;
• lunch – a glass of wine, a few pieces of cheese;
• afternoon snack – a glass of wine, a few pieces of cheese;
• dinner - cheese.

It is advisable that this day falls on a weekend, since drinking alcohol at work is undesirable. If wine is contraindicated, it is better to pay attention to another menu option - non-alcoholic.

Menu No. 2 (non-alcoholic)

This type of acting diet can be used as described above, replacing the wine day menu with fermented milk products. There are also special options with a different diet. The principle of nutrition here is somewhat different - you can eat not two, but only one product. In this case, the result will be similar - minus 4 kg in 4 days.

Option 1

Meal plan by day:

• 1 – rice;
• 2 – kefir;
• 3 – fish;
• 4 – grapes.

On the first day you can only eat steamed rice in unlimited quantities, on the second you are allowed to drink low-fat kefir. The third day's menu consists of lean white fish, which can be stewed, boiled, baked, steamed or grilled. During the fourth, you should eat only grapes, preferably unsweetened wine or green varieties.

Option 2

Meal plan by day:

• 1 – rice;
• 2 – kefir;
• 3 – shrimp;
• 4 – watermelon.

Meals for the first 2 days are similar to the previous option. The third menu consists of seafood (shrimp can be replaced with squid or mussels), prepared in any suitable way, except frying using oil. On the fourth day, you can consume watermelon in any quantity, as well as no more than 0.5 liters of any liquid.

Option 3

Meal plan by day:

• 1 – rice;
• 2 – kefir;
• 3 – veal;
• 4 – apples.

The first 2 days are also similar to the previous option. The diet of the third consists of lean boiled, stewed or steamed veal. To complete the diet, you can eat only apples, giving preference to not very sour varieties. The effect of this weight loss technique is a loss of 4 kg over the entire period. Since on average an actor's diet loses 1 kg in 1 day, if you need to get rid of 5 kg, you should use a five-day weight loss program.

For 5 days

This system is based on the same rules as the previous one, but at the same time it is more difficult to comply with and strict in terms of requirements, since it has restrictions on the number of products consumed.

The menu for this technique can be as follows:

• first day – tomato-rice: 200 ml of tomato juice and 5 servings of steamed brown rice, each no more than 120 g, or 200 g of rice and 5 glasses of fresh tomato;
• the second - milk: 1.5 liters of kefir 0-1% fat, 1 kg of low-fat cottage cheese;
• the third is meat: the daily intake of any dietary meat is 600 g, green tea – 5 glasses;
• fourth - wine: 0.7 liters of table wine, 200 g of hard cheese;
• fifth – fruit: 1.5–2 kg of juicy apples or pears.

If fruits cause stomach upset, you can eliminate them by repeating any of the previous days. After 5 days, weight loss should be 5 kg. To get rid of 10-12 kg, you should choose one of the options for the 12-day diet for actors.

For 12 days

This type of diet helps to lose a significant amount of excess weight - during the specified period you can lose about 10 kg, while doing a good job of cleansing the intestines and removing excess fluid. The twelve-day diet is not too different from the five-day diet, and its daily menu can be chosen from several options presented.

Menu No. 1 by day:

• 1–3 (dairy) – kefir 1% fat, low-fat coarse-grained cottage cheese without limitation;
• 4–6 (fruit) – juicy sweet apples or pears in any volume;
• 7–9 (meat) – lean poultry meat without skin in any form (fried, boiled, stewed, grilled) and quantity;
• 10–12 (wine) – table wine (0.7 l) with hard cheese (200 g).

Menu No. 2 by day:

• 1, 5, 9 – rice and tomato juice (similar to the diet of the classic version of the diet for 4 days);
• 2, 6, 10 – only kefir (0-1% fat) in any quantity;
• 3, 7 – seafood, lean meats or fish (boiled, stewed, steamed or grilled) in unlimited quantities, as well as green tea without additives;
• 4 – any not very sweet fruits, any drinks made from them (fresh juices, fruit drinks) of your own making;

By following an acting diet, you can lose weight fairly quickly, but the results obtained must be maintained. To do this, it is very important to exit this program correctly and adhere to the principles of proper nutrition in the future.

Quitting the diet

The actor's diet is a series of one-day mono-diets and her diet is considered unbalanced and low in calories. Weight loss occurs due to cleansing the intestines and removing excess fluid. Considering these factors, it is safe to say that the lost weight can return very quickly.

To preserve the achieved results as much as possible, it is not recommended to immediately return to your usual diet. You need to get out of the diet gradually, eating light food and following some rules:

• The first week should be devoted to plant foods: fruits, herbs, vegetables. Include healthy proteins (fermented milk products, lean meat) in your diet.
• In the second week, you can gradually introduce healthy cereals (buckwheat, rice, oatmeal) and grain bread into the menu. Try to consume these foods in the morning.

For the first two weeks, the total daily calorie content should not exceed 1400 kcal (for men - 1700). Fried and fatty foods, fast food, and alcohol (a little wine is allowed) are still prohibited. Try to eat small meals. During the day there should be 4 full meals, the last of which is 5 hours before going to bed. The volume of daily water consumption can be increased to 1.5 liters.

Recommendations for other products

Finally, we want to give a few recommendations regarding the remaining key products of the actor's diet:

Rice

It would be correct if you steamed the rice from the evening of the previous day, because... in this case it will be especially useful. If you cannot eat “undercooked” rice and this threatens to break your diet, then you can boil it until fully cooked.

Seafood and fish

Of all types of fish, choose the leanest: cod, pollock or crucian carp. The best cooking method is steam. Eat mussels or shrimp as is, not marinated in oil.

Kefir and cottage cheese

Pay special attention to the choice of fermented milk products, because... Manufacturers have gotten the hang of making them from a cheap milk fat substitute—palm oil. Remember that high-quality milk cannot be cheap (cottage cheese from 200 rubles per 1 kg). Of course, dairy products should have a minimum fat content.

Meat

Choose meat from that part of the animal that has a minimum of fat and connective tissue. For chicken and turkey, use the breast. When cooking, remove all veins and fatty layers. If you cannot eat unsalted meat, then replace the salt with lemon juice. When frying meat, do not use vegetable oil, olive oil or butter.

Beverages

All fruit juices must be freshly prepared by your own hands. Store-bought juices are full of sugar, and they practically do not retain vitamins. Don't drink bagged green tea. Ideally use Chinese green tea. Fat-burning drinks will come in handy: ginger, lemon and other types.

Actor's diet: is it possible to lose weight with permitted wine?

Brief description of the diet. Type: low-calorie, separate meals. Duration: 3, 4, 5, 12 days. Results: 3-8 kg. Difficulty: high.

The acting diet is one of those few weight loss methods that, when you look at the menu, causes bewilderment. Strange combinations of foods, permission to drink alcohol, an overly strict and limited diet plan - these and other incomprehensible aspects repel many, and completely in vain. If you read the reviews of those who decided to try it, it turns out that it is not too difficult to tolerate, and results can be achieved with guarantee. So what is her secret?

Acting diet reviews and results

On the Internet and on thematic forums dedicated to dietary nutrition, you can find conflicting reviews about the actor's diet for 4 days. Considering the short-term duration, the diet is well tolerated, but the lost kilograms return very quickly.

The presented diet is not suitable for permanent weight correction, and can only be used in emergency cases, so its name is fully justified. Meal options for 5 days and 12 days are easier to tolerate, but the end result is the same - the weight returns, and for some, it comes back in excess. The diet has many contraindications and is poorly tolerated in patients with chronic diseases of the digestive tract.

Contraindications to the acting diet

There are a number of contraindications due to which this diet should be avoided. This:

• weak immunity;
• diseases of the digestive system;
• chronic diseases;
• recently undergone surgery;
• pregnancy and breastfeeding.

If your health deteriorates during the diet, dizziness, skin rashes, nausea, allergic reaction and weakness appear, you must stop it and consult a doctor.

Nutritionists and specialists have ambivalent views on this diet, since the list of permitted foods is very limited, which means the body experiences stress and nutritional deficiencies. This express weight loss method is suitable only for healthy people. The majority of people who lose weight (85%) regain their weight quickly after switching to a normal diet. Therefore, it is recommended to use the acting diet in extreme cases.
