Not every woman has enough willpower for a long time - a week, two or a month - to observe a certain diet, associated with severe restrictions. But to suffer 1-2 days a week is much easier! That is why weight-loss days for weight loss are very popular. However, if there is everything in a row on other days, to lose weight on them is quite difficult - for those who are used to eating a lot, it is rather a way to maintain weight.
The Benefits of Unloading Days
Unloading days are named so because at this time you are depriving your body of the usual load like heavy multicomponent and not always the right food and give it a light diet, through which you clear your gastrointestinal tract.
Thus, your body gets a shake and the effect of losing weight, but does not have time to slow down the metabolism and reduce the rate of weight loss, as is usually the case with prolonged diets.
How to arrange a fasting day?
Unloading days usually arrange 1-2 times a week, but not in a row: i.e. it can be Tuesday and Friday, but not Tuesday and Wednesday. For each of these days, choose a diet, usually it is a mono-diet (a diet during which it is allowed to use only one product). Most often, the best days of unloading are spent on yogurt, low-fat cottage cheese, apples, chicken breasts, cucumbers and other products with low caloric content and more or less neutral taste.
In the question of how to spend a day off, it is important to choose the right time: there should not be a party, a visit to a hotel or a cafe, where there is a risk to depart from the scheduled schedule.
