According to reviews from people who follow this diet, it is much easier to stick to. In addition, it also allows you to improve the general condition of the body, and the results are no different from other diets.

Essence and basic principles

The water diet is based on the effect of water on the human body. MainlyIn principle, drinking water will fill the stomach and large amounts of food will not enter there. Therefore, to lose weight in this way, before eating, half an hour beforehand, you should drink 1 glass of liquid. In this case, after eating you need to abstain from water for at least 120 minutes.

This is necessary so that digestion occurs more quickly due to the release of gastric juices, while the entry of fluids into the stomach will slow down the process. This will also relieve the feeling of heaviness in the digestive tract.

It is fundamentally important that food is not mixed with water,This means that after drinking water, at least 20 minutes need to pass before eating. It is also worth remembering that drinking other liquids, juice, tea or coffee is considered a complete meal.

Water on such a diet cannot be replaced by anything. Following the basic principles of the diet will allow you to lose weight in a few weeks, and the results will be more visible if you have a lot of excess weight.

The water diet was developed by several nutritionists and tested on a group of subjects. Based on the research results, it was found that following such dietary rules guarantees loss of excess weight. However, to get maximum effect, you must adhere to some dietary restrictions.

In addition, there are contraindications to the use of a water diet that you need to know so as not to harm the body. The use of such restrictions is especially dangerous for people suffering from pathologies of the excretory system, as well as during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

The water diet is based on the following principles:

1. Metabolic processes in the body can be accelerated by drinking 1 glass of water before eating. This helps increase the rate of burning of accumulated fat.
2. Plain water without gas has a calorie content of 0, while also being able to relieve hunger well.
3. The water diet technique helps normalize the function of the digestive system and other body function systems. In turn, adequate body function will improve skin condition.
4. Still water helps improve human performance due to its tonic properties.

So, thanks to the general principles of the water diet, a person not only gets rid of excess weight, but also heals his body and improves his appearance.

Indications for use

Water diet, reviews say helps you lose up to 10 kg per month, is not only aimed at losing weight. Therefore, its observance helps slow down the aging of the bodyThis diet is recommended for those who suffer from "dryness" of the body,which refers to age-related fluid deficiency.

As we age, the part of the brain responsible for thirst begins to send and process signals more slowly, resulting in less water intake. Therefore, water deficiency begins to occur in the body, which in turn causes weakness and dryness of the organs and skin.

You can determine the need to follow a water diet as follows: you need to go to the mirror and, in any place where there are no wrinkles, try to gather the skin into a fold. If the folds easily come together and form wrinkles, it can be concluded that the skin is dehydrated.

In addition, after the fold is removed, the skin will slowly return to its original shape and the scars that have disappeared will slowly remain. If the described results are obtained during the experiment, then it is best to use a water diet to restore the moisture level in the body.

In addition, by following a water diet, you can lose excess weight. However, keep in mind that losing a small amount of kilograms is much more difficult. Therefore, if you have 2-3 extra kilograms, it is better to choose a different diet, while this diet and drink will help get rid of 10 kg.

Consolidate the results

Water diet, reviews of which speak of good weight loss results, just like any other, requires the right way out, as this can consolidate the result. Different types of water diets have different exit methods.

After such a diet, which involves consuming only large amounts of fluid and permitted foods, you need to go out, gradually expanding your diet. You need to return to your regular menu within the same time frame as you were following the diet.

There is also a mono-water diet, which involves drinking only liquids for a few days.It could be called fasting. It is more difficult to abandon such a diet, because the body adapts to such a diet and rebuilds metabolic processes. The longer such a diet is followed, the more carefully you should approach its cessation.

After fasting for 48 hours, you should be out for 4 days. In this case, the body has not had time to rebuild itself and stopping the diet will not be difficult. It is necessary to gradually introduce into your diet self-squeezed juices, then fruits and vegetables, milk, cottage cheese, sour cream, and after 4 days you can start eating regular food.

When fasting for more than 3 days, the body has had time to start rebuilding and receive the necessary nutrients from its internal reserves, so the functioning of the digestive system may be insufficient. It takes at least 10 days to get out of this state in order to normalize the function of internal organs.

Every day you need to add foods to your diet in the following order:

1. Fresh juice.
2. Raw carrot and white cabbage salad.
3. Boiled vegetables.
4. Fermented milk products.
5. Cereal porridge is cooked in milk or water.
6. Lean meat (you can cook it in a steamer, oven, or grill).

Starting from the 7th day of discharge, you can combine all permitted products, and after 3 days return to a normal diet. In addition, when leaving the diet, it is not recommended to engage in intense physical activity, you can do a light warm-up or exercise. Compliance with these rules will help you complete the diet correctly, thereby securing the result.

When is the effect expected

Reviews of the water diet promise quick results, but it all depends on the individual characteristics of the body.

The effect of following such dietary rules depends on several factors:

• initial weight;
• the number of kilograms you need to lose;
• metabolic features.

Those who need to lose more will lose weight better.If a person has from 1 to 3 extra kilograms, it is better to abandon the water diet altogether, as it will not bring results. You can lose 5 to 10 kg in 30-60 days, and more than 10 kg can be lost in 25-30 days.

However, keep in mind that you cannot follow such a diet for more than a month.therefore, to achieve the desired effect, you will have to start it several times. After a month of drinking fluids, it is best to stop the diet and rest for 30-40 days, then start again. This is necessary in order not to harm your health by overloading the excretory system.

A water diet can relieve a person of excess weight without forcing him to adhere to strict restrictions. However, there are still rules, compliance with which will help increase the effect of weight loss and not harm the health of the body.

This technique also has contraindications, so before following the drinking regimen, you need to read reviews and consult with a nutritionist.
