About 200 years ago, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, obesity was all the rage and women were not at all interested in dieting. The ideal of beauty was voluminous hips, folds on the stomach and lush breasts. Times change, and with them the idea of an ideal silhouette. The modern standard of beauty has become a thin waist, a flat stomach and athletic slimness.
Not only medical advances in the field of weight control, but also the successful development of nutritional systems by nutritionists come to the aid of women of the 21st century. Many diet courses require not only emotional and energy costs, but often also material costs. A lazy person's diet requires minimal effort, basic organization and no extra expense. This weight loss option is ideal for businesswomen and housewives who are often limited on time.
The essence of the diet for lazy people
The human body is made up of approximately 80% water. Simple, gas-free drinking water formed the basis of the "lazy" diet. The fact is that you can eat whatever you want, but be sure to drink 1-2 glasses of water half an hour to an hour before meals. Note! The water must be regular, still, at room temperature.
The secret is simple: water, filling the stomach, causes a false feeling of satiety. The first satiety signal reaches the brain within 20 minutes of starting a meal, so you will eat less than usual. In addition, part of the stomach is already occupied by water and there is simply not enough space for a full portion of the usual size. And the best part is that water is a completely calorie-free product!
A person often confuses the feeling of hunger with thirst, so a rule such as drinking a glass of water will relieve you of the illusion of hunger and help you know if you are really hungry.
In one month of the "water" diet, we lose 5 to 11 kilos of weight. Naturally, diet results will vary depending on your body composition and eating habits. The results of a lazy diet will be significantly more impressive if you remove or at least reduce the amount of sweets, flour and salt from your diet and give preference to vegetables, fruits and healthier foods.
How much water should you drink per day? 30ml. per 1 kg of weight - this is the correct formula. Yes, 2 liters per day is true, but for an average girl 65-66 kg. Therefore, drink water properly!
Lazy diet rules
Eating without periods is a daily satisfaction of vital needs, therefore, for nutrition to contribute to weight loss, periods are still necessary. The lazy people's diet also includes them. By following them, you can achieve impressive results.
- 30 minutes before each light snack, drink 1 glass (200 ml. ) of water. Before a hearty lunch or dinner, this period increases to an hour or two, and the amount of liquid increases to 2 glasses. Such a break is necessary so that part of the water is properly absorbed and the body begins to spend part of the fat reserves that you have not yet had time to replenish with food.
- You should not wash your food and after eating, refrain from drinking for another 2 hours. The effect of losing weight following this rule can be explained by the specifics of digestion. Liquid foods reach the stomach more quickly than solid foods. The digestion time of liquid and solid foods is also different. This is also linked to the absorption of calories, as well as the time of their "conversion" into fat cells.
- The diet will only be beneficial if you drink water in small sips, like hot tea, and not all at once. It is precisely in the fact that water enters the body in doses, in small portions, that the secret of weight loss lies. When a large volume of water fills the stomach, apart from heaviness, no other effects should be expected.
As already mentioned, water is the main and most important component of the body. If a person can live without food, only on water, for about a month, then without water he cannot survive even a week. And within 10 days, the body becomes almost completely dehydrated. Therefore, you should not only drink water, but also drink it correctly. This way you can get rid of not only excess weight, but also many other problems, for example, insomnia. And if you make it a rule to drink a glass of water half an hour to an hour before bedtime, you can reduce the risk of stroke several times.
Useful recommendations!
Despite the fact that there are no gastronomic prohibitions in the diet of lazy people, it is still recommended to reduce the consumption of sweets, pastries and baked goods. This will speed up achieving the desired effect and help maintain weight after returning to a normal diet. Reducing the amount of smoked meats and semi-finished products will certainly improve your well-being and help the body return to normal functioning.
Fast foods, although not prohibited, their complete elimination from the diet will only add to health and bring the valuable numbers on the scale closer.
Preparing for a diet is the key to success
The key to success with any diet is preparation. Before subjecting your body to tests, you must prepare it, because each change in diet is stressful. Fortunately, the "lazy" diet is the least traumatic in terms of changes, so preparation will not be difficult.
3-4 days before the planned start of the dietstart cleansing your bodywaste and toxins, slightly increasing the amount of fluid consumed. Replace tea and coffee with cleansing herbal teas, include whole grain bread in your diet (its calorie content is lower than other types of baked goods) and fresh vegetables rich in fiber. And don't forget to start taking vitamins.
Perhaps you have your own body cleansing programs at home, use them. The main thing is not to overdo it!
Advantages and disadvantages of the diet
Benefits:
- An undoubted advantage of a diet for lazy people is the absence of food prohibitions.
- The weight comes off quite quickly. Those who lose weight using this system see a weight loss ranging from 5 to 8 to 11 kilograms in 3 weeks. A fantastic result, considering you eat whatever you want.
- According to reviews of those who are losing weight, the diet is easily tolerated, since there is no feeling of hunger or severe psychological pressure due to not dieting.
- Cleanse the body, but there is a slippery spot related to what we eat. However, if your eating habits always include fast food, fatty and fried foods, you should not expect fabulous results.
Disadvantages:
- Sticking to a water intake schedule will be difficult if you suffer from a lack of organization.
- The duration of the diet should not exceed 3 weeks, as there is a high risk of leaching useful microelements, such as calcium, from the body. Therefore, vitamin and mineral complexes will help keep the body in good shape.
- There is also a difficulty for those who consume little fluid during the day, since the amount of water they drink per day must be at least 2 liters.
Once again about water
Even if water is the source of life, we must not forget that moderation is essential in all things. The body's daily water requirement is approximately 2 liters. Violation of water balance in all directions can harm health. So, the lack of vital moisture significantly affects metabolism: the condition of the skin deteriorates, its elasticity decreases and the risk of chapping increases.
Excessive fluid intake often causes swelling, bags under the eyes and kidney problems. In addition, large amounts of water, drunk in one gulp, promote the washing out of calcium from the body, and also prevent the absorption of useful substances and their absorption into the blood.
According to reviews of those who are losing weight, you should not abuse water at night in order to avoid swelling in the morning.
Contraindications to the "lazy" diet
Such a diet is not recommended for everyone who is busy and lazy, but only for those who do not have problems with the kidneys and urinary system, those who suffer from hypertension. It is worth consulting a specialist, perhaps the solution will be the maximum volume of fluid allowed to you, evenly distributed throughout the day and adjusted according to your diet program.
Another nuance concerns the duration and frequency of the diet. Everything here is purely individual. Experts recommend stopping gaining 1. 5 to 2 pounds before your ideal long-term weight. If the ideal is not achieved, take a break for a few months. In any case, to avoid problems with swelling and calcium leaching, do not practice the lazy diet for more than 3 weeks. You can repeat it after 2-3 months.
