About 200 years ago, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, obesity was in fashion and women were not at all interested in dieting. The ideal of beauty was voluminous hips, folds on the belly and lush breasts. Times change, and with them the idea of the ideal figure. The modern standard of beauty has become thin waist, flat stomach and athletic thinness.
To the aid of women of the 21st century come not only medical advances in the field of weight control, but also the successful development of nutritional systems by nutritionists. Many dietary courses require not only emotional and energetic costs, but often also material costs. A diet for lazy people requires minimal effort, basic organization and no additional expenses. This weight loss option is ideal for business women and housewives who are often short on time.
The essence of the diet for the lazy
The human body is made up of approximately 80% water. Simple drinking water without gas formed the basis of the "lazy" diet. The point is that you can eat whatever you want, but make sure you drink 1-2 glasses of water half an hour to an hour before meals. Note! The water must be regular, smooth, at room temperature.
The secret is simple: water, filling the stomach, causes a false feeling of fullness. The first signal of satiety 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 thing is that water is a completely calorie-free product!
A person often confuses the feeling of hunger with thirst, so such a rule as drinking a glass of water will free you from the illusion of hunger and help you find out if you are really hungry.
In a month of a "watery" diet you lose from 5 to 11 kilograms of weight. Of course, the results of the diet will vary depending on your body composition and eating habits. The results of a lazy diet will clearly be more impressive if you eliminate 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 a day is true, but for an average girl of 65-66 kg. Therefore, drink water correctly!
Lazy diet rules
Eating without rules is a daily satisfaction of vital needs, therefore, in order for nutrition to contribute to weight loss, rules are still needed. The lazy person'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 heavy 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 some of the water is absorbed correctly 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 swallow 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 food reaches the stomach faster than solid food. 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 benefit if you drink water in small sips, like hot tea, and not in one gulp. 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 amount of water fills the stomach, other than heaviness, you should not expect any other effects.
As already mentioned, water is the main and most important component of the body. If a person can live without food, only with water, for about a month, without water he will not be able to survive even a week. And within 10 days the body becomes almost completely dehydrated. Therefore, it is necessary not only to drink water, but to 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 tips!
Despite the fact that there are no gastronomic prohibitions in the diet of the lazy, it is still recommended to reduce the consumption of sweets, baked goods and baked goods. This will speed up the achievement of the desired effect and help maintain weight after returning to a normal diet. Reducing the amount of smoked meat and semi-finished products will certainly improve your well-being and help the body return to normal functioning.
Fast food, although not subject to a ban, completely eliminating it from your diet will only add to your health and bring the expensive numbers on the scale closer.
Preparing for a diet is the key to success
The key to the success of any diet is preparation. Before subjecting your body to any tests you need to prepare it, as any 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 bodyfrom waste and toxins, slightly increasing the amount of liquids consumed. Replace tea and coffee with purifying herbal teas, include wholemeal bread in your diet (its calorie content is lower than other types of baked goods) and fresh vegetables rich in fibre. And don't forget to start taking vitamins.
Maybe you have your own schemes for cleansing the body at home, use them. The important thing is not to overdo it!
Advantages and disadvantages of the diet
Professionals:
- An undoubted advantage of a diet for lazy people is the absence of food bans.
- The weight decreases quite quickly. Those who lose weight using this system notice weight loss ranging from 5 to 8-11 kilograms in 3 weeks. A fantastic result, considering you eat whatever you want.
- According to reviews of weight losers, the diet is easily tolerated, since there is no feeling of hunger and strong psychological pressure due to the fact that you are not on a diet.
- Cleanse the body, but there's a slippery slope related to what you eat. However, if your eating habits still include fast food, fatty and fried foods, you should not expect fabulous results.
Downsides:
- 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 of 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 liquid during the day, since the amount of water they drink per day should be at least 2 liters.
Once again on the water
Although water is the source of life, we must not forget that moderation is necessary in everything. The body's daily water requirement is approximately 2 liters. Violation of the water balance in any direction can adversely affect health. Therefore, the lack of life-giving moisture significantly affects the metabolism: the condition of the skin worsens, its elasticity decreases and the risk of cracking increases.
Excessive fluid intake often causes swelling, bags under the eyes and kidney problems. In addition, large amounts of water, drunk in one sip, promote the leaching of calcium from the body, and also prevent the absorption of useful substances and their absorption into the blood.
According to the reviews of those who are losing weight, you should not abuse water at night so that there is no 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, for those who suffer from hypertension. It is worth consulting with a specialist, perhaps the solution will be the maximum allowable amount of fluid, evenly distributed throughout the day and adjusted based on the nutritional program.
Another nuance concerns the duration and frequency of the diet. Everything here is purely individual. Experts recommend a long-term break 1. 5-2 kilograms short of ideal weight. If the ideal is not achieved, take a break for a couple of months. In any case, to avoid problems with bloating and calcium leaching, do not use the lazy diet for more than 3 weeks. You can repeat it after 2-3 months.
