Some women dream of losing weight so badly that they are ready to go to "extreme measures" for it - up to a complete refusal to eat. They are the ones who use various exotic and dangerous diets, the menu of which is unbalanced and can negatively affect health. Surprisingly, such diets sometimes bring their victims to the hospital bed.
Some women dream of losing weight so badly that they are ready to go to "extreme measures" for it - up to a complete refusal to eat. They are the ones who use various exotic and dangerous diets, the menu of which is unbalanced and can negatively affect health. Surprisingly, such diets sometimes bring their victims to the hospital bed.
Drinking diet is also dangerous. In order not to be unfounded, we will analyze the essence of this diet point by point and give a detailed critical explanation of all its main points. And it's up to you to decide if it's worth the fight with the extra pounds of such victims.
The essence of diet
If the recommendations for most diets suggest eating at least something, a kind of limited list of foods, there is nothing at all in this diet. You just have to drink - and that’s at least a pint of water a day.
Furthermore, it is permissible to consume milk, liquid fermented milk products, juices, mineral water, cocoa and soup, puree soup, tea, coffee (by the way, there is no explanation anywhere if sugar canconsumed). Menu "left the siege of Leningrad", and on a voluntary basis.
The authors of the drinking diet take care of the health of their "pavilions" in a special way, determining that soda is harmful to the body and should not be consumed.
It is recommended to follow this diet not for a week, or even two - but exactly thirty days. The creators of the diet talk about the wonderful sensations and an incredible sense of relief that comes in a few weeks.
The pioneers of the method argue that the severity of the diet is that we can not force ourselves not to chew food, but only to drink. Apparently we eat our stress - and consequently our problems. They prove that they are gullible and dream of losing weight women (and men, though there are fewer) that there are enough calories in such a diet for life, and the concern from the diet is only psychological.
The authors promise to cleanse the empty organs at the beginning of the drinking diet. Moreover, what kind of organs they have in mind remains a mystery. After all, the bladder, in fact, is also an empty organ. On the same days, the appearance of secretions from the body and the formation of mucus on the tongue is promised (most likely, the authors had in mind the tablets).
Next, the developers talk about cleansing dense organs - the liver and kidneys. Therefore, a sense of slight anxiety in their area is promised. In the final stage of the diet, cleansing is promised at the cellular level.
In addition, the authors give a weakness to those who are losing weight and allow them to make a "diet" at their discretion - taking into account, of course, one and a half liters of promised water per day. The apotheosis of this description is the phrase "You should look at your chair" - they want it to be tidy! As a result, a weight loss of 10 to 15 kg is promised, but at what cost?
Benefits of a drinking diet
According to doctors, the only advantage of this diet is the formation of the will, with the help of which you can force your body not to eat for thirty whole days, although in practice it is a deliberate hunger strike. Diet does not carry the most positive aspects for a person, and especially for his health.
If the authors recommend such fasting days, allowing only drinking all the ingredients used, as a discharge (one or two days a week or month) - this would be common sense. But the intentional starvation of the body for a month is masochism.
Damage to drinking diet
It is worth telling about the dangers of such a "diet" in detail - perhaps this will make those who lose weight wonder if they need such sacrifices from their health and calculatetreatment costs when leaving such a "diet".
Fasting in itself is stress and a slow death of the body, the loss of cells in some organs of the body becomes irreversible. During fasting - even partial, as in this diet - dystrophy of the internal organs occurs and they lose up to 75% of their activity.
In the future, it will take at least another half month to get out of this diet, otherwise the body will refuse to eat at all, anorexia will develop - a dangerous disease involving the psyche.
Stories about cleansing internal organs are pure deception. There is no cleansing of empty organs (bladder, stomach and intestines), there is nothing to clean for a whole month, so they are empty, which can be filled and emptied as needed - several times a day.
To cleanse the stomach and intestines, just take a laxative or fast for a day in kefir or apples. Drinking clean water is enough to clean your bladder.
Next, the authors talk about the election show. Mucus speaks of damage to internal organs and the inflammatory process in them. A white-clad tongue is a sign of gastritis and duodenitis, usually with a decreased secretion, or inflammation with a violation of intestinal digestive function.
With a single monthly intake of fluids, mucosal atrophy and lack of digestive enzymes are formed. Further, the body will refuse to take solid food, vomiting and diarrhea will occur immediately. It will take years of your life to develop enzymes.
Due to the cessation of fat intake (if you do not use vegetable oil), the skin will lose its nourishment and become dull, dry and rough, it will crack. Due to the abundance of fluids and allergens, you can develop skin and intestinal allergies, which will not add beauty and attractiveness.
This is protein starvation, which means that hematopoietic function will suffer with the development of anemia, sexual function and immunity. On such a diet, many girls lose menstruation, develop severe infections and pneumonia, even during the summer.
The authors recommend that you monitor your bowel movements. But, to their great regret, there will be no need to monitor him - he will either be absent for the first time, while the residues of enzymes will face the next fluid, or in a week or two diarrhea willdevelop profuse diarrhea due to disruption of the pancreas - this will inevitably lead to dehydration and toxicosis. And then - to meet the resuscitator in the intensive care unit.
As a result of protein loss and active drinking load, "hungry" edema will appear. After all, the expression "swell with hunger" is a real medical pathology. Therefore, all the drunk fluid will remain in the tissues, forming edema in them, and the weight will be lost a little, just because of the fragmentation of its own tissues.
Won't the weight disappear?
Of course, even the thickest and frugal bodies lose weight during a month of hunger strikes. But health leaves you with weight. In addition, when you leave the diet, the extra pounds can return to you threefold. Health, however, may not return to you at all - is it worth the 15 kilograms of such sacrifices? Above all, there are more balanced and gentle methods.
Is it really impossible?
In this form - by no means. However, there is a healthy grain in this method. By using only drinks, you can spend fasting days. You will not be able to drink a large number of high-calorie drinks, which means that one or two days (but not in a row) a week can unload your body.
On average, such a course of impulsive fasting can be performed 3-4 weeks in a row, choosing certain days of the week. For example:
- during the first week we do not eat on Mondays and Fridays,
- for the second - Wednesday and Saturday,
- Tuesday - Monday and Thursday,
- fourth - Tuesday and Saturday.
In general, doctors' opinion of this type of "diet" is categorical: in the form described by the authors - one hundred percent "no", as fasting days - perhaps, but only in agreement with the doctor.
