Circles
In the diet, each 6-day cycle is called a circle. A Swedish nutritionist recommends a cure of 4 circuits maximum. It is necessary to determine the duration of stay on the diet, depending on the general well-being and physical health.
How long can you stay on a diet?
One of the most popular questions is how often diets should be repeated. The creator of the diet recommends doing 2 cycles, the duration of which is 2 weeks. Every seven days you can eat one of the recommended options:
- Take a day of fasting, during which you can only drink non-carbonated mineral water.
- Eat as before the diet, only removing all "harmful" foods from the diet.
How much weight can you lose?
If you follow all the rules of the diet, you can say goodbye to a fairly large number of kilograms. On average, a woman can lose about 500-800 g per day.
It is important to understand that the first days the weight may not go away. The results will be noticeable in the middle of the cycle, when the scale arrow immediately drops by 2 kilograms or more.
get out of the diet
With any weight loss system it is important to complete the process correctly. The exit from the 6-petalled diet must be smooth. To do this, you need to gradually add more to the permitted products, expanding the diet and increasing the calorie content of dishes.
If during the circle it was comfortable to eat only healthy food, then you should not give up such a correct habit and start eating fast food. The less fat, smoked meats and other prohibited ingredients in the diet, the longer the result will last and eventually improve.
