Diet based on the intake of activated charcoal is gaining in popularity. For several decades, famous actresses, models and other representatives and representatives of show business have been actively losing weight using this tool. They say that in this way the weight was thrown off by the prima donna of the Russian stage Alla Pugacheva.
But you don’t have to be a celebrity to lose weight on a charcoal diet. Anyone can experience it.
Requirements of the activated charcoal diet
To lose weight, you have to take activated charcoal. There are several ways to do this. The first is more forgiving. In the morning on an empty stomach, you just need to drink 2 tablets of coal, washed down with 200-250 ml of plain water. It is not necessary to radically change the diet. Although, of course, it will not be superfluous to eat more healthy and low-calorie foods, while minimizing various food hazards.
But there is one unshakable rule to follow. If you want to make weight loss more effective, eat at least 300 g of non-starchy vegetables, fresh or baked, and 150 g of low-fat or low-fat curd daily. By adhering to this scheme, you should lose 1 kg per week. With noticeably high body weight, it is likely that weight loss will be more significant.
There is another method of taking activated charcoal tablets. In this case, you need to consume large doses of it, namely, 1 tablet per 10 kg of weight. For example, if you weigh 80 kg, you should drink 8 charcoal tablets. A portion of charcoal can be taken immediately in the morning, as in the above option, or throughout the day before meals (at least an hour). Charcoal can be taken as long as you reach your desired physical condition. It is necessary to alternate 10 days of charcoal intake with the same amount of break time when the body is resting.
But the principles of reasonable and proper nutrition are always highly desirable. It is important to understand that activated carbon (in any quantity) does not become a magic wand. And if you indulge in all food crimes, for sure you not only will not get rid of unnecessary weight, but you can also burden the body with new kilograms.
In any case, it is highly undesirable to adhere to this technique (taking into account the time of coal intake directly) for more than 60 days.
It is recommended to make the following foods that are useful and relatively low in calories as the basis of the diet on activated carbon: non-starchy fruits, vegetables, berries; dairy and sour milk products of low fat content; meat (mainly chicken and beef); lean fish; various greens. Give up as much as possible any fatty foods and foods, high-calorie sweets, fried foods, white flour products.
You need to organize your menu so that there is room for three full meals (without overeating) and two snacks, not eating after 18-19 pm. Be sure to drink plenty of clean water.
Doing sports will only speed up the process of losing weight. It is advisable to introduce training into life (if there were none) and generally move more, leading an active lifestyle.
