The menu for every day in the 7-petal diet is surprising and pleasing. After all, you can eat tasty, use a variety of foods and at the same time lose weight.

Features and rules of the diet "7 petals"

Nutritionists argue that eating both protein and carbohydrate foods is bad for the figure. In this case, the nutrients are retained in the body and remain in it in the form of fat deposits.

At the heart of the diet "Seven Petals" for weight loss is the principle of separate nutrition. It also provides for a low calorie daily menu.

Within seven days you need to eat certain foods in limited quantities. Proteins and carbohydrates enter the body at different times, and moderate portions help restore harmony.

Features of the diet:

  1. The sequence of days cannot be changed, otherwise the desired effect will not work. First, fish day, then vegetable, chicken and cereal. The final three are cottage cheese, fruit and drinking days.
  2. Food restrictions are strict: you can only eat what is indicated on the menu.
  3. "Carbohydrate" and "protein" days alternate necessarily. The body has enough useful substances, but at the same time it is misled by the lack of specific types of food. So thanks to separate nutrition, it is possible to start the process of losing weight.
  4. Particular attention is paid to the drinking regimen. At least 2 liters of clean drinking water should be consumed per day. It is appropriate to replace a couple of glasses of liquid with unsweetened green or black tea. Alcohol is prohibited.
  5. You need to eat in small portions, dividing the daily intake into 4 - 5 receptions.No rush during the meal, chew food thoroughly.
  6. In the evening, food is taken no later than 3 hours before bedtime.
  7. Feasible sports loads are welcome. Thanks to motor activity, muscle sagging and sagging skin can be avoided.

Pros and cons of a diet:

  • Body weight decreases rapidly: it is both its advantage and disadvantage. After all, experts say that it is not good for health to lose more than 150 g of weight per day.
  • Food almost does not salt. Weight goes away, clear and hidden swelling disappears. It is possible to remove not fat, but only water and muscle tissue. Therefore, after a weekly course, excess weight may return.
  • They use inexpensive products, so the diet is suitable for people with different incomes.
  • Sweet foods are strictly prohibited, which means that it’s hard for sweet tooth to pass this test.
  • Unlike many mono-diets, it has a variety. Indeed, every day a new product is introduced into the menu, and even several on the same day.
  • You won’t have to starve. A daily amount of food is enough to get enough. The only exception is the last day, when you can only drink water.
  • Willpower will be needed. Eating the whole day is not easy, an aversion to monotonous food may develop.

For a healthy person, such restrictions are not dangerous. On the contrary, the mechanism of intestinal cleansing starts, metabolic processes in the body improve. But during the period of protein days, a breakdown and weakness due to a shortage of carbohydrate food can be observed.
