It is impossible to get rid of excess weight quickly and without harm to health. You can either quickly, but with risks, or slowly, but reliably. If you lose weight taking into account all the recommendations of doctors, it will take a long time. Another option is to use one of the rather strict diets, which will give quick results, but at the same time become stressful for the body. Despite the fact that the first option is more correct and natural, many people, for various reasons, prefer accelerated methods of losing weight. The 10 by 10 diet is one option for this approach.
We draw the attention of readers to the fact that this article is for informational purposes only. If, having become acquainted with the features and rules of the 10 by 10 diet, you want to use it for yourself, be sure to first consult with a specialist.
General rules
A fairly large number of radical diets have been developed, designed for both short and long periods.
Among them is a 10-day diet, or rather several of its variations, which allow you to get rid of 5-10 kg of excess weight. There are a lot of diet options, which allows you to choose the one that suits you best. There are very strict types of diets, and there are softer ones. You need to choose the appropriate option taking into account your health status, taste preferences, expected results and even financial capabilities. The first thing you need to do is consult with your doctor about the possibility of using the diet you have chosen. This is especially true for those who experience problems with the digestive tract, blood sugar levels, and blood pressure . And also for those who have encountered problems with the liver and/or kidney systems. Prepare yourself psychologically, because the ten-day period involves a very limited diet. Try to have the latest meal no later than 18:00.
Benefits and contraindications
The benefit of a mono-diet is the rapid loss of a large number of extra pounds and all this in a record short time. Unfortunately, this is the only advantage of a mono-diet. It is worth paying attention to the fact that this type of diet has many contraindications.
People should forget about the mono-diet:
- With inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
- With a disease such as anemia.
- With loss of strength.
- Vitamin deficiency.
- Children under 18 years old.
- Problems with the liver and gall bladder.
These are common, well-known contraindications that are usually ignored. The mistake of many people is that in pursuit of their dream figure they do not pay attention to the side effects:
- Constant feeling of hunger.
- Irritation.
- Mood swings.
- Allergy (to some dietary products).
- Stomach ache.
- Dizziness.
- Weakness.
- Nausea.
Of course, not everyone has the fourth, sixth, seventh and eighth points, but the first three are constant companions of a mono-diet. In addition, carrying out a protein mono-diet often provokes the appearance of boils on the face. Gastroenterologists say: “These are stomach diseases, or an allergy to protein.” It turns out that such nutrition seems to bring benefits, eliminating excess weight, but on the other hand, it harms the body, weakening the immune system, thereby provoking various diseases.
In order for the harm to be minimal, you should select healthy, hypoallergenic products, and also alternate them correctly. For example, protein foods before carbohydrate foods. In addition, while on a mono-diet you need to drink a lot of water. If you ignore these rules, the benefits of such weight loss will decrease, and the harm will increase.
Varieties
Diet without dinner
The presented option allows you to get rid of 7 kg in 10 days by simply skipping dinner. You need to have breakfast and lunch according to a special menu presented below in the corresponding section. It is worth noting right away that it is quite difficult to maintain such a diet, and there is a very high risk of failure, so it is important to assess your strengths and capabilities in advance.
Potato mono-diet for weight loss for 10 days
Everyone knows that potatoes are excluded from almost all diets due to their high starch content. However, a special potato diet has been developed, thanks to which you can achieve amazing results in 10 days. The essence of the diet is the daily consumption of potatoes cooked in their jackets. The daily daily norm of root vegetables is 600 g. It is allowed to add greens to the diet: cilantro, parsley, celery. Do not forget about the importance of a proper drinking regime - at least 2 liters of water per day. Nutritionists do not recommend resorting to such a diet more than twice a month.
Buckwheat ten days
For 10 days you can eat exclusively buckwheat porridge, prepared without butter, salt and sugar. In the evening, sort out and rinse the cereal, then pour boiling water, maintaining a 1:2 ratio, and let it brew overnight. In the morning, divide the porridge into 5-6 equal parts and consume throughout the day. Apple snacks are allowed. Before going to bed, you can drink half a glass of low-fat kefir.
Starvation diet
This diet option is suitable for those who have already tested their willpower and are sure that for the sake of an ideal figure they are ready to practically give up food. It is important to understand that this technique is a last resort, and you need to resort to it when you need to lose weight in a short time. The fasting diet lasts 7 days and is considered very strict. A milder version is designed for 10 days, in which it is allowed to eat an egg on day 1, fish on day 2, etc. Absolutely healthy people can adhere to a fasting diet. You cannot start a restricted diet spontaneously. Preparation should begin a week before the diet and completely exclude fried, flour, salty, and harmful foods from the diet. Avoid seasonings and spices. Avoid alcoholic drinks. Thanks to a smooth transition, you will relieve your body of severe stress.
Getting off the diet correctly
A competent way out of such an unusual regime is also of great importance. You need to try to maintain discipline, because this is the only way to compensate for all the existing disadvantages of the diet, as well as to achieve a prolonged result of the diet. A good solution is to stick to a pre-designed menu and regimen for at least two weeks after the mono-diet. Thus, fractional meals, a drinking regimen, as well as exercise and frequent walking are recommended.
Expanding your diet should be thoughtful. Here are the most important points:
- Avoid frying in oil.
- Completely exclude sweets, confectionery and alcoholic drinks, as well as fast food and all kinds of semi-finished products.
- Make basic low-calorie dishes with minimal fat content.
- Gradually include in the menu exactly those foods that you had to give up during the diet. For example, if a carbohydrate product has become the base product, begin to gradually increase dishes with a high carbohydrate content in your diet.
- Don't drink sparkling water at all. This is harmful and causes weight gain and swelling.
All your actions will be aimed at gradually returning to a perfectly balanced menu. But it is advisable to gradually give up unhealthy foods, smoked and fried foods, and sweets. Proper nutrition helps not only to maintain slimness, but also to prolong youth and improve overall health.

Therefore, the choice of diet must be approached as responsibly as possible, so as not to cause irreparable harm to health.

How to switch to a buckwheat diet
Interestingly, despite its popularity, there is not much information about the buckwheat diet. Apparently, it is assumed that no special instructions are needed here and you won’t have to adhere to a special diet either. But you need to cook buckwheat in a special way. In order not to remain hungry the next morning, you need to take care of your “daily buckwheat” in the evening: the cereal must first be steamed with boiling water in a thermos or saucepan, no salt or oil. You can’t eat buckwheat with anything at all, but you can and even need to drink it down, and thoroughly.
When on a buckwheat diet, it is recommended to drink at least a liter of kefir per day, in addition to the main liquid, it is better to drink water or green tea, of course, without sugar. Coffee lovers usually ask: “Can I drink coffee while on a buckwheat diet?” Coffee is not prohibited, but it must be weak and unsweetened. Sugar, like salt, and other additives are prohibited. Alcohol, by the way, too, although this is not a feature of a specific diet, it’s just that drinking alcohol is not encouraged by either nutritionists or doctors.
Ten-day diet: reviews and results
Losing excess weight in 10 days is quite possible. Do not forget that the body experiences extreme stress during a diet, which can negatively affect your health, as evidenced by reviews of the 10-day diet. Most often, the kilograms that have been lost with difficulty return when the basic rules for leaving the diet are not followed and when returning to the usual diet. Ten days is enough to form certain eating habits. Those who have gone through this diet note its negative impact on the functioning of the digestive tract, so it is strongly recommended not to resort to it for people with chronic gastrointestinal diseases ( gastritis, colitis, pancreatitis, cholecystitis , etc.).
Reviews from doctors and specialists
A sudden change in diet and a decrease in calorie intake is a fairly serious burden on the body. Therefore, any short-term strict diets have many contraindications. And among them is obesity. With obesity, all body systems are under serious stress, and a sharp reduction in nutrients will only worsen the situation.
This kind of restrictions is contraindicated for people with various chronic diseases, as well as during periods when the body is weakened. When engaging in professional sports or heavy physical labor, it is also better not to use such weight loss options.
For absolutely healthy people, a strict diet often does not bring benefits. The weight comes off really quickly with them. But in 85% of cases it comes back. In addition, the metabolism slows down, as the body, having experienced starvation, begins to accumulate subcutaneous fat as a reserve supply of energy in case it has to starve again. Therefore, it is better not to use such methods at all. Instead, to lose weight, it is recommended to simply eliminate junk food from your diet and adjust your diet in accordance with the principles of proper nutrition.
