Almost everyone who strives to lose excess weight dreams of losing weight quickly, preferably at home, so as not to spend money on expensive gym memberships and special nutrition programs.Each person's metabolism is individual, but there really are methods for emergency weight loss.Not all are approved by doctors, so it is important to consider all the pros and cons of the methods.
1. Drinking Diet
One of the strictest diets is called the “Drink Diet”.Completely excludes all solid foods, even completely harmless and low-calorie fruits and vegetables.It allows you to lose 7-10 kg at home, but it is quite difficult for the body to tolerate it.
The rules of the “Drink Diet” are:
- Solid foods are completely excluded.It is acceptable to consume semi-liquid foods, such as smoothies.
- At the same time, to lose 10 kg or more in two to three weeks, avoid fatty broths, soups and even very sweet fruits.
- The basis of a weight loss diet at home is green vegetables, low-calorie fruits, coffee with milk without sugar is allowed, milk with no more than 2% fat, tea and water without restrictions.
- You need to drink at least 3 liters of fluid per day in total.
Those who have already tried the technique report that it is possible to lose 10 kg in a short period: from a week to a month, depending on the initial body weight.Doctors disapprove of this regime, noting that the stomach needs solid food, and with this method of rapid weight loss, metabolism and intestinal function deteriorate.
2. Cucumber Mono-Diet
Cucumber is a “negative calorie” vegetable.One hundred grams contains only 20 kcal, which makes it an ideal product for anyone who wants to lose 5 kg at home in a week or more.A cucumber dish without additional additives contains neither fat nor carbohydrates, only water and fiber.
The mono-diet provides:
- You can eat up to two kilograms of vegetables per day.
- In addition to cucumber, it is advisable to eat celery and other green vegetables, also with “negative” calorie content.
- Once a day you can eat steamed chicken breast without salt.
- You can drink coffee and tea without sugar and milk.
When you are on a diet, drink water, at least 2 liters per day.The diet is quite difficult, since cucumber hardly saturates the body, you can quickly lose weight, but the weight will almost certainly return if you adhere to the previous regime.
3. Fasting
Total refusal of food, and sometimes water, is more likely to be a healing practice than a method for losing weight quickly.“Dry” fasting is possible for no more than one day, wet fasting – up to seven days.It is quite possible to lose a maximum of 10 kg and a minimum of 5 kg in a week.On the first day, up to two kilos are lost, however, due to excess fluids, and not due to actual weight.
The technique helps eliminate toxins and is useful for people with chronic pancreatitis and liver disease: it allows the gastrointestinal tract to rest.Doctors do not classify fasting as an exclusively harmful way to lose weight quickly, remembering only the restrictions for:
- pregnant and lactating women;
- people with diabetes;
- children and adolescents under 18 years of age;
- patients with chronic gastritis, ulcers.
Fasting is not contraindicated for adults and healthy people in general, although doctors recommend starting with a daily regimen of food restriction rather than a week.The “dry” mode is not recommended for anyone.
4. Intermittent fasting
In contrast to a complete refusal of food, here is the theory that the ancestors of modern man did not eat three times a day, but ate when they found some kind of food.Intermittent fasting involves complete abstinence from food for 16 or 24 hours, and then you can eat almost without restrictions, but only 2 hours before the next break.
The technique cannot be called simple or a diet for lazy people, as the ideal is to involve interval training.These exercises aim to imitate the behavior of primitive man, who was forced to hunt or look for edible plants, roots and fruits.With intermittent fasting you can lose 8 to 12 kg in 2 months.It is advisable to combine it with exercise.
5. Buckwheat Diet
Another nutritional option that nutritionists have an almost positive attitude to, as following the rules in the short term will not bring health to the body.The only condition is the absence of allergies or intolerance to buckwheat itself, as well as kefir.
This is one of the diets for the lazy;Preparing the “dishes” is very simple:
- buckwheat - steamed and boiled in water, without salt;
- kefir - up to one liter, fat content no more than 1%;
- lots of water, green tea.
Buckwheat is very healthy;contains almost all the necessary complex of vitamins and minerals.During the diet, it is recommended to completely abandon salt, so you will not be able to keep it for a long period, but you will be able to quickly lose weight up to 10 kg in a week.Cereals satisfy well, so it is not difficult to tolerate restrictions, with the exception of psychological difficulties due to a monotonous diet.
6. Kefir Diet
This method will help you lose weight properly in a short period.There are several kefir-based diet options, they all help to improve the health of the body, get rid of excess weight, without interfering with metabolic processes - or rather, on the contrary, speed them up, and not slow them down, as happens with many other restrictive diets.The strictest kefir mono-diet is allowed only for three days.
Then the following are added to the fermented milk drink:
- Apples, green vegetables, fruits - no more than 100 grams per day, as they are sweet and contain a lot of fructose.
- Slow carbohydrates - porridge, for example, oatmeal.It cleans the intestines well and also helps speed up metabolism.
- Protein foods: lean fish, chicken, beef, eggs.
The kefir diet helps you lose weight in the stomach due to its mild laxative effect.It is recommended to alternate “full” days with fasting days, when only the drink is consumed.You can follow this regime for two weeks, a month or even longer, gradually expanding the range of permitted products.It is advisable to completely abandon only fast carbohydrates, fast food, sugary drinks and alcohol.
7. High-protein diets and exercise
There are special diets for athletes and bodybuilders.They combine at the same time a rather high calorie content due to protein products and intense training.This option cannot be called a diet for lazy people, but it not only burns fat, but also builds a muscular structure and the body becomes stronger.
The diet includes:
- Fat-free red meat.
- Egg whites, nuts, cottage cheese.
- Lots of low-starch vegetables - that is, you can eat everything without restrictions, except potatoes.
- Fruits are allowed, except grapes and bananas.
- Slow carbohydrates are allowed as an energy source.
Professional athletes add special protein shakes to gain muscle mass;you can lose weight without changing your muscles.Be sure to drink water to lose weight, and workouts should last at least 2 hours, three to four times a week, including strength training and cardio.It is not necessary to go to the gym;you can lose weight at home, using available sports equipment and following the recommendations of coaches - for example, using videos from the Internet.
8. "Minus sixty" system
This is the author's technique, which is named exactly after how many kilos the inventor lost weight.It's not really a diet, but rather a way of eating: all foods are allowed, only fast carbohydrates and fats should not exceed 150 grams per day, and they should all be taken at breakfast.For lunch it means protein food, and for dinner - a light vegetable salad.Exercise is advisable but does not require visits to fitness rooms;minimal walking, running and dancing are sufficient.The advantage of the technique is that it is psychologically easy to tolerate, as there is no prohibition even on cakes and hamburgers, if you eat them in small quantities and at a certain time.
9. Pharmacy medicines and SPA treatments
By themselves, neither medications nor SPA procedures will help you lose weight quickly, but they will activate your metabolism and speed up the process that has already begun.All medications that actually help you lose weight are prescription medications, so it's difficult to get them without a doctor's permission.
We must not forget that taking the most effective drug is only allowed for clinical obesity, that is, with a BMI of more than 30, although in practice it is prescribed for people with a BMI of 35 or more.
The medicine cannot be used if you need to lose five to ten kilograms “for the summer” or just “to fit into your favorite jeans”.It has many side effects.Of course, medications do not eliminate the need to follow a diet.
Another way to properly lose weight and improve body condition is SPA treatments and myostimulation.The methods are additional and do not exclude the need to normalize your diet, but they help to eliminate cellulite and local fat deposits.Massages, SPA treatments and body wraps are comfortable and pleasant.
10. Proper nutrition
This is not a way to lose weight quickly at home, but it is ideal for your health;allows you to follow a regime for years, lose up to 10 kg in a month right from the start, continue to lose weight and keep the weight off.The basic principle is the balance of calories, proteins, fats, carbohydrates.There are no clear prohibitions, although it is recommended to completely avoid:
- store-bought baked goods - you can prepare them at home, where there will be no palm oil and other harmful additives;
- mayonnaise;
- fast food;
- in alcoholic drinks, you can leave a maximum of 200 ml of dry red and white wine.per week.
Proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle involve simple exercise: half an hour daily.It could be a run, a brisk walk or exercising at home.The technique does not promise instant and “miraculous” weight loss, but forcing yourself to follow a tasty and healthy diet is much easier than complex diets, light exercise does not cause discomfort, and the body itself normalizes metabolism over time, getting rid of toxins and harmful substances.Thanks to an integrated approach, not only weight is reduced, but also the general condition of the body improves.
