I would like to start the story about what an “express diet” is with a warning. This name brings together many areas of rapid weight loss in a short time. They are considered tough and effective, but are not suitable for systematic work on burning deposits of fat that have accumulated over the years. Using an express diet for quick weight loss is suitable for those who have a problem of a couple of kilograms, which they want to get rid of “before the sea” in order to fit into their favorite swimsuit.
Hello friends! Remember the old joke: “What is better for losing weight: green tea or green coffee? Green sausage! Minus three kilos a day is guaranteed!” Jokes aside, I have to admit that, unlike most harsh diets with low calorie intake, designed for 7 days, 2 weeks or more, the express diet does not have time to greatly harm the body.
Menu variations allow everyone to choose what they like best. It’s easier to endure restrictions for 2-3 days, while eating something that doesn’t cause disgust. But, despite its advantages, any express diet is only a disguise of the problem, and not a solution. Why? Read about it below.
Friends, read the article further, there will be a lot of interesting things in it!
And for those who want:“KNOW THE DEGREE OF SLUGGING IN YOUR BODY”

What is the basis of the method?
There is only one way to burn a large number of fat cells in 2-3 days: eat almost nothing and work out intensely until you break a sweat. For example, unloading a hundred bags of potatoes every day or running a marathon. An untrained person accustomed to moderate exercise can pay with his life for such weight loss.
The express diet is gentler and involves reducing the number of kilograms due to the removal of fluid from the body and increased intestinal peristalsis. Results are achieved by reducing calories by 30 or even 50 percent. But not in comparison with how much you are used to eating, but in comparison with your calorie intake rate, which is calculated using the basal metabolism calculator.
If, at the end of the weight loss experiment, you return to your usual overeating, everything you lost will also come back, and even double. But even if, at the end of the express diet, you stick to the norm, the weight will still return. After all, only water has left you, and your body will take care of accumulating it again.
Minor burning of fat cells in this scheme does not play a decisive role.
Express weight loss in 3 days at home
Express weight loss in 3 days is one of the fastest ways to lose weight. However, doctors often warn about the dangers of losing weight too quickly. This is a lot of stress for the body. But few people heed these warnings, especially if a woman needs to quickly lose weight for a wedding or an important trip. It is important to understand that in such a short period of time the fat will not go anywhere, it simply will not have time to break down. A good result is achieved by removing excess fluid. To maintain it, you will have to continue to eat properly, eliminating all unhealthy and fatty foods.
This quick option for losing weight is the toughest, as it practically eliminates solid food. You can only drink freshly squeezed juices from oranges, apples, pineapples, and pomegranates. Before doing this, it is advisable to consult a specialist. People with gastritis, ulcers and other diseases of the stomach and intestines should not consume such a large amount of concentrated juice.
The advantage of this diet is that practically nothing needs to be prepared if you have a juicer at home. In addition to juices, water and kefir, you can eat 1 boiled egg per day or fresh vegetables. For dinner, it is permissible to eat grated carrots, vegetable salads or a slice of toasted bread.
There is also an option when you drink only kefir for 3 days. You can drink 1.5 liters per day, distributing this amount over several meals. You cannot stay on such a diet for a long time; the diet must be gradually expanded, adding vegetables, meat, cereals, fruits and berries.
Express diet: variety of types
For 2 days
You should not stick to the mono method. Any of the directions implies a light variety of dishes. In order not to bother yourself with food lists, just eat what is prescribed.
Apple method
You take 2 kilos of local apples and 200 grams of lean meat (chicken breast, beef). You boil or steam the meat. You eat apples fresh. Meals a day - at least four.
Sample menu for the day:
- breakfast - one hundred grams of meat and half a kilo of apples;
- lunch - another half kilo of apples;
- lunch - the same as for breakfast;
- dinner is the same as for lunch.
Last meal no later than 20 pm.
You should drink at least 2.5 liters of water. Green tea and still mineral water are acceptable.
Salt and sugar are not used.

- in the afternoon - another egg and freshly squeezed pineapple juice;
- afternoon snack - juice without eggs;
- in the evening - 150 grams of low-fat cottage cheese and tea without sweeteners.
It is clear that there is a similar ban on salt. In addition to the above, be sure to drink water!

Theoretically, you can lose a couple of kilos due to the lack of salt and the removal of fluid from the body. It is especially important to drink plenty of water.
Curd with honey
You choose one product. Definitely non-greasy.
The menu implies a real feast! You can eat 150-200 grams of the selected product and half a teaspoon of honey every three to four hours, washed down with pure water or green tea without anything! In a couple of days, your weight will decrease by 1.5-2 kilos.
Three-day methods
On juices
I warn you that you can only drink juices that you prepare yourself. Store-bought ones are full of sugar and preservatives.
Juice can be squeezed from:
- apples;
- citrus fruits;
- pineapples (if you find ripe ones);
- pomegranates;
- cucumbers;
- tomatoes;
- carrots;
- beets;
- pumpkins;
- celery stalks.
You will need two liters per day, which you will divide into several doses. It is better to dilute juices, especially beet juice. If there are several different ones per day, that’s great!
You can't put salt and sugar.
Your plumb line is 5 kg for 3 days.
On kefir
The same result is achieved very simply: you buy yourself one and a half liters of kefir every day. You need to drink 4-5 times.
You bring your drinking regime to the norm of 2.5 liters by drinking clean, non-carbonated water. All other products are prohibited for you.
Diet according to "Cosmopolitan"
This express diet is considered one of the most effective. It is more comprehensive in terms of diet composition. Meals six times a day. Plumb - 2-3 kilos, if you're lucky.
The daily menu looks like this:
Breakfast:
1 - half a liter of water, a glass of milk with a spoon of cocoa and honey.
2 - the same water plus a glass of kefir;
3 - the same as the first.
Water is consumed immediately after waking up, the rest after morning exercises.
Lunches:
1 - grape;
2 - 150 g. curd;
3 - absent.
Lunches:
1 - 200 grams of chicken fillet, salad with olive oil;
2 - vegetable broth, as much as you can fit;

Afternoons:
1 - a glass of yogurt without anything;
2 - juice from 2 grapes;
3 - absent.
Dinners:
1 - cook carrots, onions, tomatoes, strain and drink the liquid as much as you want;
2 - a piece of fish or turkey (200 g) and a side dish of fresh vegetables;
3 - vegetables or turkey fillet (200 g).
On the first day before going to bed, you can additionally drink a glass of kefir.
Multi-day techniques
There are schemes for a week, for 14 days or more. The coolest thing is to extend it for 1 month, but I don’t recommend it. This, without options, will lead to loss of health.
The famous nutritionist Dukan offers a seven-day diet, which is based on the principle of excluding certain foods and following food preparation methods. In general terms it looks like this:
- We cook only by steaming, baking or boiling;
- exclude fatty, salty, anything made from flour and any canned food;
- We don’t eat grapes and bananas, potatoes and beets (it’s not clear why), any legumes (including soybeans);
- We drink everything without sugar or water;
- We eat only low-carbohydrate cereals;
- Be sure to add bran to your food;
- We eat lean meat and fish.
The menu is compiled from personal preferences. The result is small, but physiological.
The Mediterranean option is not suitable for those who live far from warm seas. With this, you need to switch to eating seaweed, fish and seafood. All this is expensive and is not delivered to us in freshly caught form.
A good method for a flat stomach is considered to be weekly diets with mandatory consumption of protein foods and avoidance of carbohydrate foods. Mono-diets are also praised: only natural yogurt or only boiled rice or only chicken.
For men, the protein option is preferable so as not to lose muscle.
Express diet for quick weight loss for 7 days
Effective express low-calorie weight loss will give good results if you avoid failures. You don't have to exercise extra to lose weight. Many nutritionists do not recommend active physical activity during a sharp reduction in caloric intake, since it is harder for the body to cope with it. Express diet for 7 days effectively removes extra pounds thanks to the following diet:
- The first day you can only eat lean fish, but not salted or fried. It can be boiled, baked, steamed. You can eat 1200 g of fish per day, but divide it into 5-6 servings.
- You can only eat vegetables in any form, excluding potatoes. There should be a minimum of salt and spices. You can also drink non-powdered juices. We must not forget about the drinking regime.
- Only boiled or steamed chicken is consumed. Before cooking, remove the skin and rinse the meat in running water. You can season the chicken with dried herbs, but no hot spices are added.
- You can eat any porridge, but not semolina or corn grits. They are boiled in water.
- On the fourth day you need to unload the intestines. On this day they eat cottage cheese and drink kefir. It is advisable to choose low-fat natural cottage cheese. Daily dose – 800 g.
- The fifth day is fruity. You can eat any fresh fruit that is low in sugar. It is better to avoid bananas.
- The last day is fasting. You can only drink still water, or mineral water.
Express weight loss in a week is more difficult to sustain, since you have to give up your usual food for a long time and endure hunger. An express diet for 2 weeks is even more difficult. This option should be chosen by those who have a large number of extra pounds, and they greatly affect their health.
Express diet: disadvantages that outweigh the advantages
Medical approach
Doctor's consultation required! This appeal accompanies any low-calorie diet. It does not mean that the author of the diet is concerned about your health, but that he is abdicating responsibility. Of course, you need to go to the doctor and he, if not a fool, will explain with his fingers why you can’t lose weight in the advertised way.
Conclusion: go to the doctor, but first read what the side effects and contraindications of the next “miracle fasting!” Maybe you won't have to go anywhere.
What's good and bad about it?
The advantages of the method discussed above include the ability to quickly lose a couple of kilos in order to prepare for a planned celebration or a trip to the seaside. That's all!
Minuses:
- a constant feeling of hunger, which if you diet for more than three days will become unbearable;
- deterioration of mood up to nervous attacks and depression;
- gastrointestinal disorders (diarrhea, flatulence);
- muscle pain, spasms, cramps (sodium deficiency will affect);
- dizziness, lethargy, absent-mindedness;
- slowing down metabolic processes;
- the result, despite all the advertising, will not last, the weight will return, because you lost 90% water, not fat;
- muscle mass will “melt”, the body needs protein to repair internal organs and the heart, and skeletal muscle can be sacrificed.
Contraindications:
- pregnancy;
- breast-feeding;
- age (childhood, adolescence or old age);
- ailments of the kidneys, liver, heart, lungs, blood vessels, etc.;
- allergy;
- decreased immunity;
- physical activity (sports, hard work);
- mental stress (passing exams or just mental work);
- driving vehicles, working on machines and conveyors;
- any nervous and mental disorders;
- tendency towards anorexia.
Fortunately, it’s no longer a secret for you that such methods can lead to a slowdown in metabolism and problems with the gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidneys and other organs. At the same time, the expectation of the result “minus 10 kg in 10 days”, as a rule, does not come true.
There is hope!
Why is it pointless and harmful to endlessly gain and lose even a small amount of kilograms? The express diet is aimed at just such an effect.
Because the body does not tolerate constant abuse of itself! Either you overfeed it, or you leave it without energy for life and “building material” for the synthesis of new cells. Isn't it easier to eat functionally?
Are you ready to say: “This is too difficult for me!” Then it doesn’t hurt you to think about the consequences, evaluate your condition and decide whether short-term pain is needed for ephemeral purposes, if you can be beautiful all the time and without pain?
To draw the right conclusions, you need to brush up on your knowledge of biology and physiology. It is not difficult! Moreover: now this process can become interesting, exciting and enjoyable for you. And this opportunity is provided by our online Healthy Body Academy!

Galina Zh. (27 years old)
An express diet is my option when you need to tweak yourself a little so as not to get overwhelmed in all directions. I can’t even count how many times I’ve done this. And nothing, she’s still alive. Just think, there is some malaise or something hurts. Who said that gastritis is associated precisely with the fact that you are losing weight? Prove it! I don’t understand how you can spend so much time on food. It’s clear that at 18 you were slim, but then you get torn apart. It's all genetics, including diseases from it. Or from the evil eye. A sea of envious people, there's no escape. I think that if I start to gain weight even more, I’ll just start spending even less time eating. I read somewhere that they will soon invent such a pill, which I took - and you no longer need to spend two-thirds of your time on food every day. Imagine how many hours will be freed up for other things!
Buckwheat diet
The buckwheat diet is perhaps the most popular express diet of all. “Eating buckwheat” in the name of losing weight is at one point tried by most people who want to shape their figure, at least among those who love this product.
The results in some sources are simply incredible - minus one kilogram per day. On average, 3-5 kg should be lost in 5 days of the diet.
The recipe is very simple. In the evening you need to brew buckwheat with boiling water (namely brew it, not boil it). You can eat it as much as you want. The problem is that it is recommended to eat buckwheat without salt and spices, and it will be difficult to eat a large amount of food with such a bland taste. The diet can be slightly varied with sour apples and low-fat kefir.
In some variations, it is suggested to pour kefir over buckwheat overnight - by the morning it will soak and become soft.
