Liquid diet
Liquid diet has a lot of popularity among girls lately. The popularity is explained by the fact that liquid nutrition not only quickly removes the hated kilograms, but also rebuilds the body to a completely new power system. In this article you will learn about the menu of the liquid diet and all the nuances of this type of food.
The essence of liquid nutrition
Let's take a look at what liquid nutrition is and how it helps in losing weight. The essence of the liquid diet is that most of the food you eat is in a liquid and mushy state.
- The first thing worth noting is that the liquid diet leads, the young ladies sitting on it to fairly good results. By choosing this type of food for a week, you can lose as much as five kilograms, but if you continue the marathon for up to 14 days, it will take you about 8 kilograms of excess weight. Many doctors claim that liquid nutrition is a good technique in the fight against obesity.
- Liquid diet is an excellent tool to reduce the size of your stomach. You all know that a rich meal increases the volume of the stomach by 2, or even 3 times, and this increases the feeling of appetite. You can eat, but do not get enough, but at this time there is a set of excess weight. A liquid diet can reduce a distended stomach and bring you back to small portions of food, eliminating overeating.
- If you have doubts that nutrition will help, then we will prove the opposite. You only drink fluids, your stomach shrinks, only the liver and kidneys work. In addition, ground products will not allow you to feel hungry, as the energy value of some ordinary products is similar to the energy value that you get from liquid food. For example: a small bun and 200 ml of orange juice with pulp are almost equal in calories.
- The second name of the liquid diet is a cleansing diet. During the maintenance of such a food system, all slags and toxins come out of your body, the work of the gastrointestinal tract is also normalized.
- Liquid nutrition maintains an ideal water balance in the body, because many other types of diets lead to dehydration. As a result, girls overcome fatigue, weakness and bad mood.
