Some women dream of losing weight so badly that they are willing to take "extreme measures" - to the point of completely refusing to eat. They are the ones who resort to various exotic and risky diets, whose eating is unbalanced and can negatively affect health. Not surprisingly, such children sometimes bring their victims to a hospital bed.
Some women dream of losing weight so badly that they are willing to take "extreme measures" - to the point of completely refusing to eat. They are the ones who resort to various exotic and risky diets, whose eating is unbalanced and can negatively affect health. Not surprisingly, such children sometimes bring their victims to a hospital bed.
A diet that drinks is also dangerous. In order not to be unfounded, we will analyze the essence of this child by points and give a detailed critical explanation of all its key points. And it is up to you to decide whether it pays to fight the extra pounds of such victims.
The essence of nutrition
If the recommendations for most diets suggest eating at least something, some kind of limited food list, there is nothing in this diet. You only need to drink - and that is at least one and a half liters of water a day.
In addition, it is allowed to eat milk, liquid fermented dairy products, juices, mineral water, cocoa and soups, puree soups, tea, coffee (by the way, there is no explanation anywhere as to whether sugar is allowed). The "a la blockade of Leningrad" menu, on a voluntary basis.
The authors of the drinking diet take special care of the health of their "protégés", finding that soda is harmful to the body and should not be consumed.
It is suggested to adhere to this diet not for a week, or even for two - but for exactly thirty days. The creators of the diet talk about wonderful sensations and feel the incredible lightness that comes in a few weeks.
The pioneers of the method claim that the weight of the diet is that we cannot force ourselves not to chew food, but only drink. We are supposedly catching our stress - and therefore our problems. They prove to gullible and dreamy women how thin (and men, although there are fewer of them) that in such a diet there are enough calories for life, and the discomfort in the diet is only psychological.
The authors promise to cleanse the hollow organs at the very beginning of the diet. Moreover, what organs they have in mind remains a mystery. After all, the bladder is actually also a hollow organ. On the same days, the appearance of secretions from the body and the creation of mucus on the tongue is promised (most likely the authors meant plaque).
Next, the developers talk about cleaning the dense organs - the liver and kidneys. Therefore, a feeling of slight discomfort in their area is promised. In the last stage the child is promised cleansing at the cellular level.
In addition, the authors give weakness to those who lose weight and allow them to compose a "diet" at their discretion - taking into account, of course, the promised one and a half liters of water per day. The apotheosis of this description is the phrase "You have to watch your chair" - they want it to be regular! As a result, weight loss of 10 to 15 kg is promised, but at what cost?
Benefits of a drinking diet
According to doctors, the only advantage of this diet can be called the creation of willpower, which you can force your body not to eat for thirty days, although in practice it is a deliberate hunger strike. Diet has no more positive aspects for a person, and especially for his health.
If the authors recommended such days of fasting, allowing only the drinking of all the ingredients used, as a discharge (one or two days a week or a month) - that would be common sense. But deliberately starving the body for a month is masochism.
Harm from drinking food
It is worthwhile to talk in detail about the dangers of such a "diet" - it may make those who are losing weight wonder if they need such sacrifices in part of their health, and calculate the cost of treatment when they leave such a "diet".
Fasting itself is stress and the slow death of the body, the loss of cells in some organs of the body becomes irreversible. During fasting - even partial, as in this diet - the internal organs degenerate and lose up to 75% of their activity.
In the future, it will take at least another half a month to get rid of this diet, otherwise the body will refuse to eat at all, anorexia will develop - a dangerous disease that involves the psyche.
Stories of cleansing internal organs are pure deception. There is no cleaning of hollow organs (bladder, stomach and intestines), there is nothing to clean for a whole month, they are therefore hollow, which can be filled and emptied as needed - several times a day.
To cleanse the stomach and intestines, it is enough to take a laxative or make a fast on kefir or apples. Drinking clean water is enough to clean the bladder.
Next, the authors talk about the layout of the selections. Mucus speaks of damage to internal organs and the inflammatory process in them. A white coated tongue is a sign of gastritis and duodenitis, usually with decreased secretion or inflammation with a violation of the digestive function of the intestine.
With monthly fluid intake only, mucosal atrophy and lack of digestive enzymes occur. Further, the body will refuse to take solid food, vomiting and diarrhea will appear immediately. It will take you years of your life to develop enzymes.
Due to fat intake disorders (if you do not use vegetable oil), the skin will lose food and will become dull, dry and rough, it will crack. Due to the abundance of juices and allergens, skin and intestinal allergies can develop, which will not add beauty and attractiveness.
This is protein starvation, which means that hematopoietic function will suffer with the development of anemia, sexual function and immunity. On such a diet many girls lose menstruation, develop serious infections and pneumonia, even in summer.
The authors recommend that you pay attention to the chair. But to their great regret, there will be no need for supervision - he will either be absent for the first time, while enzyme residues will still deal with the incoming fluid, or in a week or two diarrhea will develop profuse diarrhea due to pancreatic dysfunction -inevitably lead to dehydration and toxicosis. And then - to meet the resuscitator in intensive care.
As a result of protein loss and active drinking load, “hungry” edema will occur. After all, the term “bloating from hunger” is a real medical pathology. Therefore, all the drunk fluid will remain in the tissues, creating edema in them, and the weight will be lost a little just due to the splitting of your own tissues.
Won't the weight go away?
Of course, even the fattest and most frugal bodies lose weight during a month of hunger strike. But health leaves you with weight. In addition, when you leave the diet, the extra pounds can come back to you threefold. However, your health may not return - is 15 kilograms of such sacrifices worth it? Finally, there are more balanced and gentle methods.
Is that really impossible?
In this form - by no means. However, there is a healthy grain in this method. By using only drinks, you can spend your fasting days. You will not be able to drink a large number of high-calorie drinks, which means that you can unload your body for one or two days (but not in a row) a week.
On average, the course of such an impulse post can be performed 3-4 weeks in a row, by selecting certain days of the week. For example:
- in the first week we don't eat on Monday and Friday,
- others - Wednesday and Saturday,
- third - Monday and Thursday,
- fourth - Tuesday and Saturday.
In general, the opinion of doctors about this type of "child" is categorical: in the form that the authors described - one hundred percent "no", as fasting days - perhaps, but only in agreement with the doctor.
