• Bulgarian pepper;
• Spinach;
• Cucumbers;

Weight Loss Options

If the usual vegetable diet seems too strict, you can replace it with a diet on vegetable salads and soups, or protein-vegetable and fruit-vegetable. Consider the last two in more detail, as they are the most popular.

• The protein-vegetable diet is carried over most easily, the results and reviews confirm this. Here, without any restrictions, you can add fish, meat, dairy products, fruits, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, vegetables in any form to the menu for every day. Confectionery, bread, potatoes, spices and cereals, sugar, salt should be excluded from the diet. Protein-vegetable diet limits calorie foods naturally (carbohydrates are excluded). This leads to weight loss, improvement of the digestive tract and the improvement of the body as a whole.

• The diet on fruits and vegetables is very effective for losing weight, because the intestines are cleansed of toxins and toxins, saturated with useful substances. But without eating fat and protein, it is extremely dangerous. When adding vegetable protein and fat to the diet, the immune system is strengthened, the hair becomes shiny, and the nails - strong. A fruit and vegetable diet will strengthen your nervous system, improve sleep, and normalize metabolism. If it is difficult for you to get used to it at once, do a fasting day for yourself once a week (your body should be trained gradually). The "trick" of the diet is 1.5 kg of fruits and vegetables per day of any heat treatment, except frying. But try not to eat potatoes, grapes and bananas.
