Diet for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract

Principles of your favorite diet

Every day in the diet is a fasting day. Thus, the body takes a break from difficult-to-digest foods for a week. He is put into a state of stress, but this stress will be controlled.

Principles of constructing a diet:

• First day. At this time you can only drink. Allowed drinks: compote, tea, fruit drink, kefir, chicken broth, milk with 0% fat, freshly pressed juice, coffee, yogurt.
• Second day. This day is a vegetable day, so you can eat any vegetables.
• The third day will be drinking again.
• The fourth day is fruity.
• The fifth day is protein.
• The sixth day is drinking again.
• The last seventh day is the exit from the diet.

Detailed description of the diet by day

Day 1, 3, 6 – drinking

Liquid meals and drinks can be consumed in unlimited quantities on the drinking day of the diet. The main emphasis is on kefir, broth and tea. Kefir can be replaced with fermented baked milk.

It is unacceptable to drink juices made in production. You should also avoid carbonated drinks and jelly. The calorie content of the diet is equal to 1500 kcal, so it is possible that hunger will constantly haunt you.

Fresh juices, which are ground fruits, are more of a food than a drink. The number of kilocalories in them can reach 110 kcal per serving. Therefore, more than 400 ml of fresh juice should not be consumed on drinking days. To prevent large quantities of sugar from entering your body, you should dilute the fresh juice halfway with water.

Most of the liquid consumed is plain water. You need to drink at least 2 liters of it per day. Toxins and extra pounds will be eliminated from the body along with urine.

Natural contractions of the intestines accelerate on drinking days. The kidneys function at full capacity, so if they fail, edema may occur. On such days you need to rest as much as possible; physical activity is unacceptable. Side effects of drinking fasting days include such phenomena as: dizziness, nausea, fatigue and weakness.

Day 2 – vegetable

This day is vegetarian. The menu consists entirely of plant foods. It is highly advisable to consume vegetables raw. If such a need arises, they can be boiled or steamed. The number of approaches to the table is five. A serving per serving should average 0.3 kg. In this case, the daily caloric intake that a person gains is 1000 kcal.

You can eat any vegetables, you should only avoid potatoes. It contains a lot of starch, which will interfere with the weight loss process. Vegetables that should be on the table: cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes. Frying is absolutely prohibited.

Day 4 – fruity

Throughout the fourth day, you can eat fruits: oranges, watermelon, apples, grapefruit, kiwi, pineapples. These fruits are better than others in promoting fat burning. You should only avoid bananas and grapes.

During the day you need to eat 2 grapefruits, 0.2 kg of pineapple, 4 tangerines, a quarter of watermelon, 3 apples, 4 kiwis. You should not take long breaks between meals; you need to satisfy your hunger every 2 hours. You can eat 2 fruits at a time. To reduce hunger between meals, you can drink plain water. The daily volume of fruit is 2.5 kg.

Day 5 – protein

A protein day opens up wide opportunities for a person losing weight. However, you should not pounce on food, so as not to overload the body. You need to come to the table no more than 5 times a day, the portions themselves should be small. You need to eat every 3 hours. Products of both plant and animal origin can be used as a source of protein.

Allowed foods: chicken egg white, shrimp, yogurt, chicken breast, low-fat cottage cheese, boiled fish. Spices and seasonings are not added to dishes.

In order for the body to fully absorb protein-rich foods, it is necessary to drink a sufficient amount of water, namely 2 liters per day.

Foods that are sources of carbohydrates should not be eaten during the fifth day. The purpose of the protein menu is to dry out the muscles and also give the body the proteins it needs after long-term abstinence.

Day 7 – leaving the diet

The last day of the diet is a transitional stage that allows you to complete the weight loss program without harm to your health. On this day you need to eat vegetables and fruits, and also introduce familiar dishes to the menu. Salt foods should be minimal so that fluid does not stagnate in the body.

Favorite diet for 12 - 14 days

In addition to the seven-day diet, there is another option - the favorite diet for 12 days, which is easy to remember and follow. It takes place in four stages of three days:

• Drinking
• Apple
• Chicken
• Wine and cheese

Drinking stage – three days on kefir.
Kefir can be purchased at any fat content and in any quantity. On these days, also drink clean filtered water at room temperature. The body itself will regulate how much fluid it needs to consume. We don't drink other drinks. Do you like kefir? Find out other ways to lose weight with this fermented milk product. Apple stage – three days on apples. Eat these fruits in any form - fresh, baked, pureed, fresh or juice. Also without restrictions. Clean water - up to 2 liters per day is recommended. Do not forget to take a multivitamin complex during your diet, this will help avoid weakness and dizziness.

Chicken stage – three days. Chicken breast, without skin and fat, cooked without salt. Eat cooked poultry as much as you want. If it seems tasteless to you and is difficult to eat, you can season it with parsley or lemon juice. The final stage of three days is wine and cheese. A good dry red wine is drunk with a piece of hard cheese. The ratio is thirty grams of cheese per 200 ml of wine at a time.

This period often confuses people who are losing weight, since wine is usually not a healthy drink on our table and it is not customary to drink it every day. Therefore, during the 12-day Favorite Diet, wine can be replaced with pomegranate juice.

If you decide to extend the diet to 14 days, structure your diet so that its calorie content does not exceed 1200-1400 calories. On these days, eat vegetable stews, boiled meat, and vegetable soups. You can calculate calories using an online calculator.

Rules for quitting the diet

At the end of the diet, exit it carefully, gradually - do not overeat, do not immediately pounce on high-calorie fatty and sweet foods, otherwise all your efforts will come to nothing.

Pay more attention to creating a menu so that it is varied, not boring and tasty. Prepare soups with chopped herbs and eggs, casseroles, vegetable stews, seafood, baked chicken fillet with cheese. What a delicious and satisfying menu for one day! Believe me, such a diet will not lead to excess weight gain. The main thing is to take small portions, 150-250 grams and eat 4-5 times a day. Drink as much clean filtered water as possible, up to 2.5 liters per day. And – as little salt as possible.

To maintain weight and lose weight, we recommend doing 1-2 fasting days a week, choosing the menu for any day of the diet, and you will always be in shape!

Arguments against dieting

There are few downsides to your favorite diet.

Lack of motivation can lead to severe hunger pangs. You can fix this by providing yourself with activities that will be interesting to switch to. Kefir or yogurt suppresses hunger well, there are no restrictions.

If you diet too often, you are likely to lose muscle mass. The risk of exacerbation of chronic gastrointestinal diseases increases.

At the same time, a slight imbalance in nutrition helps to take a fresh look at reducing the need for large amounts of food.

Who does not want to lose weight using this system?

Not everyone can use this diet without side effects. Absolute contraindications are pregnancy and lactation - these periods of a woman’s life completely exclude refusal of food for the purpose of losing weight. And:

• unstable blood pressure, hypertension or hypotension;
• problems with the heart, kidneys;
• diabetes;
• disturbances in the gastrointestinal tract;
• active physical training;
• stress, nervous overload;
• previous injuries or surgical interventions.

Adviсe

For those losing weight on the “Favorite” diet, the following tips and recommendations have been developed:

• To make the diet easy, you need to start reducing the calorie content of your meals in advance. This should be done a week before the upcoming weight loss process, which will make it much easier to endure the first drinking day of the diet, on which the final result largely depends.
• Chicken broth must be used on drinking days. It perfectly satisfies hunger and also saturates the body with the nutrients it needs. Drinking chicken broth helps calm the nervous system, which is very important for this diet. You can also drink it on other days and prepare vegetable soups based on it.
• On the day when a person will eat only fruits, it is necessary to drink as much plain water as possible. This advice will help you not to experience an acute feeling of hunger.
• When it’s time for a protein day, in addition to chicken fillet, you need to eat eggs, fish, shrimp, and turkey. This will make it possible to make the menu more varied and make the diet easier.
• You need to drink as much water as possible. To make its taste more pleasant, you can prepare lemon, ginger or cucumber water. This will not only dull the feeling of hunger, but also speed up metabolic processes, and therefore increase the effectiveness of the diet.
• During the vegetable day, you need to eat those vegetables on which the body spends maximum energy to digest them. The menu should be supplemented with a tablespoon of bran (this is universal advice for every day). Bran can be added to salads and fermented milk drinks. This product will allow the intestines to work efficiently and without failures.
• Heavy physical activity should be avoided during the diet to save energy reserves. A half-hour walk a day or swimming in the pool is enough.

How to improve the result

According to reviews of those losing weight on the Favorite Diet, small physical exercises and body wraps will be an addition to the main program. Walking, Pilates, yoga are suitable for physical activity, check out home exercises for legs.

Do you want to lose a few centimeters from your thighs? Then body wrap will suit you, and you don’t have to go to an expensive salon; do the body wrap at home. To do this, you will need wrapping cream, cling film, a warm blanket and 30-40 minutes of free time. Before wrapping, cleanse your skin with a scrub, then apply anti-cellulite cream to your thighs, wrap your legs with cling film and crawl under a blanket for 30 minutes. Then rinse and apply moisturizer.

Apply home wrap after training, bath/shower 1-3 times a week. It is worth carrying out at least 10-12 procedures. The wrap will allow you to get rid of a few centimeters in the thighs and remove the unsightly crust.

Reviews and results

Kamila Solntseva, nutritionist:

“I have carefully studied the Favorite Diet, as it has gained incredible popularity in recent years. I believe that such a nutritional system can only help those people who are severely obese. If you have decided to lose weight using this particular diet, then first you should consult with a specialist.”

Alina Moiseenko, nutritionist:

“Most of the diets that can be found on the Internet are dangerous to health. They are aimed at burning muscle mass, not fat deposits. After such a diet is abandoned, fat will replace the burned muscles, which means the weight will increase even more.

The Favorite Diet is no exception in this regard. As a nutritionist, I find it absurd. Moreover, my opinion is shared by most doctors. It is contraindicated for everyone, as it is harmful to health.

Reviews from those who have lost weight

Margot, 30 years old: “I lost 7 kg just thanks to this diet. Before this, I had never been able to achieve such impressive results, although I tried many systems for losing excess weight. The products are cheap, a wide variety of dishes can be prepared from them, and the diet rules are very simple. The result is worth a little patience. This diet is truly my favorite. I will now practice it every 3 months.”

Zarina, 35 years old: “I was looking for a diet on the Internet because I had gained weight after giving birth. The Favorite diet is effective, although hungry. However, the end result does not disappoint. I felt just great during the diet, nothing hurt, no weakness was observed.”

Yana, 22 years old: “I stayed on the diet for several days, after which my head and stomach began to hurt badly. Naturally, I immediately stopped losing weight with her help. During the period that I stayed on the diet, I managed to lose 1.5 kg. They returned back very quickly, taking with them another kilo. I won’t practice any more diets, I’d rather go in for sports.”

Tamara, 46 years old: “I don’t know about others, but this diet did not suit me at all. I suffered from severe headaches, and then I also had digestive problems. Moreover, during all this time I managed to lose only one kilogram. I think it’s better to go to the pool and arrange fasting days for myself from time to time.”

Anastasia, 28 years old: “I have a sedentary job, so the process of losing weight is always very difficult for me. Thanks to the Beloved diet, I lost 6 kg in a week. The diet was easy for me. I drank hot tea, coffee, rosehip decoction (I carried it with me in a thermos). This allowed me to fight hunger on drinking days.”

Natalya, 38 years old: “I’m on my feet all the time, on the move all the time. This is probably why I managed to lose 8 kg in a week on the Favorite diet. It was hard only on the first day of the diet, and then I got used to eating little by little. I felt great. Therefore, I recommend this diet to everyone and I will definitely repeat it again.”

Ekaterina: “I once worked at a chemical plant, from which I was sent to a sanatorium for treatment. There were problems with the digestive organs and lungs. So in the sanatorium they fed me the same way as the Favorite diet suggests. This allowed me to improve my health, and I also realized that I had to leave this plant, which I did immediately upon arrival.”

Alexandra: “I broke my leg, in the 4 months that the recovery period took, I gained 10 kg. At the emergency room I met a young man who became my husband. The extra pounds didn't seem repulsive to him. I will stick to a diet to get in shape, but not with such fanaticism as before. After all, even without her help I met my prince.”

Efficiency: photo results, reviews

On the forums you can find many reviews of women who managed to lose excess weight using the Favorite diet, let's study some of them, as well as photo results and videos:

I struggled with excess weight for many years. I couldn’t deny myself sweets, so the extra pounds were not long in coming. On the advice of my friends, I decided to start eating healthy and my choice was the “Favorite” diet. In the first week I managed to get rid of 9 kg, and I think this is not the limit. After the break I will continue to work out my weight. I recommend the diet to everyone who cares about their appearance.

Irina, 29 years old

After winter left, I discovered that I had extra pounds, which, of course, I wanted to lose by summer. I turned to a nutritionist who advised me to follow my favorite diet. And, indeed, in 7 days I was able to get rid of 3.5 kg. I visited the gym at the complex, which helped to tighten my body and make it more attractive. I am pleased.

Anna, 31 years old

During the period of bearing the baby, I gained a lot of weight. After giving birth, I decided to stick to proper nutrition, but without compromising my health. After studying many forums, I decided to stick to the Favorite diet. In 7 days I managed to lose 5 kilograms, and no adverse reactions occurred: stool was normal, there was no excessive hunger. I recommend.

Elena, 37 years old

Photo results:

Most of the fair sex speak positively about the diet. In just a week you can achieve excellent results and lose up to 10 kg of body fat. In exceptional cases, cases of intolerance to proper nutrition are diagnosed, which is usually associated with concomitant diseases that occur in the body.

You can consolidate the results by eliminating harmful foods (fast food, fatty meat, etc.) and alcohol from your diet after finishing the diet. It is recommended to maintain a calm daily routine, spend more time outdoors, and eliminate stress.

Conclusion

The Favorite Diet allows you not only to lose 6-7 kg, but also to cleanse your body. After its completion, the stomach becomes smaller in size, which allows you to be satisfied with small portions.

The greater the initial weight of the person losing weight, the more will be lost during the diet. However, it has certain contraindications that cannot be ignored. If you follow all the rules, the result will not be long in coming.
