The problem with extra pounds upsets both men and women. Nutritionists are striving to develop new nutritional systems that help quickly and with minimal harm to the body bring indicators back to normal. An effective way to restore optimal body weight is a diet based on boiled food; it corrects the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and makes it possible to form healthy eating habits. The standard duration of this method is two weeks.
The harm from fried foods is known to everyone, but few know that eating raw vegetables is not always healthy. Some nutrients are not absorbed this way. This is why nutritionists recommend steaming or boiling food. This method became the basis of the boiled diet.
On a note! A distinctive feature of the boiled diet is less congestion in the gastrointestinal tract with a high percentage of absorption of necessary substances.
The diet is considered low-calorie, but at the same time it is well balanced and does not cause hunger. Observations by nutritionists and people who have tried the diet agree that in fourteen days it is quite possible to lose almost ten kilograms of hated fat. The nutrition system is designed not only to destroy fatty tissue, but also to generally cleanse the body.
Positive aspects of this power system:
- Effective weight loss;
- Favorable effect on the body;
- The ability to create a harmonious, balanced menu;
- A varied daily diet;
- Gradual relief from swelling;
- No feeling of hunger;
- It can be a step towards proper nutrition.
The disadvantages that are usually highlighted are not too critical:
- It takes getting used to eating food devoid of salt or seasonings;
- In the first days there may be some loss of strength.
However, the boiled diet is an excellent remedy for those who want to see themselves slim again.
General rules
Nutritionists say that you can lose weight without any problems on a simple cooked diet. In approximately 14 days, following the menu and regimen, you can remove up to 10 extra kg. The main principle of the diet is to consume exclusively boiled foods, which allows you to:
- preserve the maximum usefulness and at the same time do not increase the calorie content and harm from food, because no fat is used during cooking and, as a result, trans fats or carcinogens are not formed, as happens, for example, when frying;
- reduce the load on the liver, pancreas, stomach and generally improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract; in addition, pectins are better absorbed, the intestines are cleansed, toxins and the body’s condition improves.
Remember that meals should be fractional - in small portions (no more than 300 g), 4-6 times during the day, you need to finish your meal no later than 19:00. Losing weight and reducing daily calorie intake does not occur through fasting, but by eliminating sweets, flour and fried foods from the diet.
Ten-day diet on boiled vegetables
This method of losing weight is notable for the fact that you definitely won’t go hungry. The calculation of the required diet is made for 5 days; for the next 5 days you will simply consolidate the achieved result by repeating the nutrition of the first five days of the diet. By strictly adhering to the recommended menu, you can lose up to 7 kg.
Day 1
You are allowed to eat 350 grams of boiled vegetables. Be sure to add to your favorite vegetables: celery, corn, spinach and dill. You should eat this food before lunch.
The next meal includes chicken broth soup. When cooking, you should try to make it less caloric by draining the first water after boiling. Add your favorite vegetables and some potatoes to the soup.
For dinner, treat yourself to rice porridge with boiled fish and lettuce.
Day 2
On this day, you are allowed to diversify your menu with your favorite vegetables. Follow these rules: add porridge to vegetables for breakfast, take mashed potatoes with boiled chicken for lunch, and have salad for dinner.
Day 3

What is the essence of the diet?
This nutritional system allows you not only to lose weight, but also improve digestion. It is based on the consumption of boiled food - lean fish, meat, cereals, vegetables.
This method of cooking is the most gentle on food, because... they retain almost all useful substances and do not form carcinogens, as when frying. Boiled carrots contain antioxidants and beta-carotene, and when eaten raw, this vegetable stresses the pancreas.
By consuming spinach and broccoli without heat treatment, you can get only 3% of carotenoids, and when cooked - 30%. Boiled tomatoes also saturate the body with a large amount of lycopenes - these are antioxidants that improve heart function. In addition, boiled foods are prepared without the use of oils and fats and contain extremely few calories, which is important when dieting.
Food prepared in this way puts less strain on the digestive system, and the food is absorbed better. The calorie content of the diet is reduced by eliminating sweets, flour products, bread, fried and fatty foods. A diet based on cooked foods allows you to lose 10 kg in 2 weeks.
This weight loss occurs due to the fact that not only subcutaneous fat is burned, but also the body is cleansed. Salt and excess liquid are removed from it. Digestion improves, the load on the intestines and stomach is reduced due to the consumption of food that does not irritate the mucous membrane.
Fully or partially limited products
The boiled diet imposes a strict taboo on:
- sugar – this synthetic disaccharide should not be present on the menu, even in soda, compote or as an addition to tea; if you really don’t have enough sweets, you can boil peaches and berries, cool them and use them as a tasty and healthy sorbet;
- salt, spices and sauces;
- alcohol;
- fatty, smoked, greasy;
- flour, bakery, confectionery products, candies, cookies, canned food, sausages - cannot be classified as “boiled food”, so they should be excluded for the period of weight loss.

How to consolidate the results and exit the diet correctly
Quitting a diet does not imply an immediate return to the usual unhealthy diet, which in the past led to the formation of excess weight. On the fifteenth day, they begin to add salt little by little until the volume recommended by doctors is reached - 15 grams per day. The salt contained in the foods consumed is also taken into account.
It is recommended to completely remove products from the list of prohibited items from the daily menu, but from time to time you can allow yourself small portions.
Boiled dishes can be diversified by being baked or grilled. Fried foods can only be eaten very rarely, for example during a holiday.
It is advisable not to increase the volume of portions and not to abandon the split-meal plan. However, if it is noticed that kilograms continue to disappear even after achieving optimal weight, the volume of portions consumed per day needs to be increased.
To consolidate the results obtained, it’s a good idea to start doing sports exercises or even join a gym. It is also worth keeping the pleasant and healthy habit of daily walks.

A friend advised me to eat only boiled food, I was surprised, because my diet hadn’t changed much - the same potatoes, meat, but in a week of following one simple rule I lost 7 kg.”
- Katerina, 19 years old: “... The best way to lose weight is when I eat boiled rice and a piece of beef for dinner. Of course, on a boiled diet I miss fruits, but frozen cubes of compote keep me from feeling blue.”
- Ksenia, 32 years old: “... I didn’t like that there were so few vegetable fats on the menu and, contrary to the rules, I dressed salads and stewed vegetables with olive oil, added nuts. The plumb line turned out to be so significant - only minus 4.5 kg, but I am calm about the health of my hair and skin.”
