About 200 years ago, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, obesity was fashionable 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 the ideal figure. 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 help women of the 21st century. Many diets require not only emotional and energetic costs, but often also material costs. A lazy diet requires minimal effort, basic organization, and no additional expense. This weight loss option is ideal for businesswomen and housewives who often have limited time.
The essence of the diet for the lazy.
The human body is made up of approximately 80% water. The basis of the "lazy" diet was drinking water without gas. The thing is, 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 should be regular, still, at room temperature.
The secret is simple: water, by filling the stomach, causes a false feeling of satiety. The first signal of satiety reaches the brain 20 minutes after 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 room 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 a rule such as drinking a glass of water will relieve the illusion of hunger and help you find out if you are really hungry.
In a month of an "aquatic" diet, you lose 5 to 11 kilograms of weight. Naturally, diet results will vary depending on your body composition and eating habits. The results of a lazy diet will be clearly 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 a 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 to 66 kg. Therefore, drink water correctly!
Lazy diet rules
Eating without rules is a daily satisfaction of vital needs, so for nutrition to contribute to weight loss the rules are still necessary. The lazy diet also includes them. By following them, you will be able to 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 one to two hours and the amount of liquid increases to 2 glasses. This pause is necessary so that some of the water is properly absorbed and the body begins to use up some of the fat reserves that you have not yet had time to replenish with food.
- You should not drink the 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 faster than solid foods. The digestion time of liquid and solid foods is also different. This is also related 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 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, 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 water, for about a month, then without water he cannot survive even a week. And in 10 days the body is almost completely dehydrated. Therefore, it is not only necessary to drink water, but also 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 having a stroke several times.
Helpful recommendations!
Despite the fact that there are no gastronomic prohibitions in the diet for the lazy, it is recommended to reduce the consumption of sweets, baked goods and baked goods. This will accelerate the achievement of the desired effect and help maintain weight after returning to a normal diet. Reducing the amount of smoked meats and semi-finished products will definitely improve your well-being and help the body return to normal functioning.
Fast foods, although they are not prohibited, completely eliminating them from the diet will only increase health and bring the precious numbers on the scales closer.
Preparing for a diet is the key to success
The key to the success of any diet is preparation. Before putting your body through any test, you must be prepared, as every dietary change is stressful. Fortunately, the "lazy" diet is the least traumatic in terms of changes, so the preparation will not be difficult.
3-4 days before the planned start of the diet.start cleansing your bodyof waste and toxins, slightly increasing the amount of liquid consumed. Replace tea and coffee with cleansing infusions, include whole wheat bread in your diet (its calorie content is lower than other types of baked products) and fresh vegetables rich in fiber. And don't forget to start taking vitamins.
Maybe you have your own schemes for cleansing the body at home, use them. The main thing is not to overdo it!
Advantages and disadvantages of the diet.
Advantages:
- An undoubted advantage of a diet for the lazy is the absence of food prohibitions.
- The weight disappears pretty quickly. Those who lose weight with this system notice a weight loss of between 5 and 8-11 kilograms in 3 weeks. A fantastic result, considering that you eat what you want.
- According to the reviews of those who lose weight, the diet is easily tolerated, since there is no feeling of hunger or severe psychological pressure due to the fact that you are not dieting.
- It cleanses the body, but there is a slippery spot related to what you eat. Still, if your eating habits still include fast food, fatty and fried foods, then you shouldn't 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, since there is a high risk of leaching from the body of useful microelements, such as calcium. 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 on the water
Although water is a source of life, we must not forget that moderation is necessary in everything. The body's daily water need is about 2 liters. Violation of water balance in any direction can negatively affect health. Thus, the lack of vital moisture significantly affects the metabolism: the condition of the skin worsens, its elasticity decreases and the risk of crack formation increases.
Excessive fluid intake often causes puffiness, bags under the eyes and kidney problems. In addition, large amounts of water, drunk in one gulp, 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 bloating in the morning.
Contraindications of the "lazy" diet
This diet is not recommended for all busy and lazy people, 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 is the maximum allowable volume of liquid, distributed evenly throughout the day and adjusted in accordance with your nutritional regimen.
Another nuance concerns the duration and frequency of the diet. Everything here is purely individual. Experts recommend stopping consuming between 1, 5 and 2 kilograms before reaching your ideal long-term 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.
