Avocado is considered one of the most satisfying fruits. It is also famous for its fat burning properties. Collectively, these factors contributed to the avocado diet. This weight loss system is great for helping you lose a small amount of excess weight. In just three days, you can get rid of one and a half or two unnecessary kilograms stuck to the body.
Avocado diet requirements
Before describing the dietary requirements, let’s find out about the history of the origin of this fruit. Avocado was first discovered in Central America and Mexico, where it was called the “alligator pear”. The fact is that this fruit has a lumpy green skin, similar to crocodile skin. And due to the fact that the taste of avocado somewhat resembles butter, it was also called “oil of the forest”. The inhabitants of Spain brought avocados to European countries after another sea voyage to America.
Avocados can be oval, round or pear-shaped in various sizes (from 5 to 20 cm). In terms of weight, ripe fruit can be quite heavy and reach as much as two kilograms.
The peculiarity of the avocado is that it is a fruit that is almost identical in chemical composition to a vegetable. The fruit does not contain sugar and cholesterol, it consists of fats that are absorbed by the body, and not stored in reserve. It boasts a whole group of useful vitamins (A, B, C, D, E, P, etc.), as well as phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. An interesting fact is that due to its nutritional value in 1998, avocado was awarded the entry into the Guinness Book of Records.
According to the rules of the three-day avocado diet, you need to eat avocados, boiled chicken eggs, lean beef (not subject to heat treatment with the addition of oil), fresh cucumbers, cottage cheese (low-fat or low-fat). Meat can be replaced with fish. It is better to refuse sugar, salt and spices for the diet period. Drink enough clean water. Tea and coffee are allowed, but empty. You should eat three times a day in small portions, refusing meals 3-4 hours before bedtime.
At the end of the diet, accompanied by rather strict restrictions, new foods should be introduced gradually. Otherwise, not only the lost weight can quickly return, but also a malfunction may occur in the work of the body. After all, even in such a short period, the body will have time to wean itself from heavy food. Also, do not forget to introduce avocado into the diet after the end of the diet. With the control of calorie content and moderation in this way, you can lose weight at a smooth pace in the future. Of course, you should not forget about physical activity, both during the diet and after its completion.
In order for a diet with the active use of avocado to become not only effective in terms of weight loss, but also contribute to the maximum recovery of the body, it is important to choose the right fruit. When buying an avocado, it is recommended to check its ripeness. To do this, pay attention to its peel and consistency. If the avocado is hard and practically does not squeeze, this clearly indicates the immaturity of the fruit. And if, after a slight pressure, a dent remains in it – this is the fact that the applicant for your table is overripe. If you see black spots on the avocado, let alone cracks, then it has begun to deteriorate. It is worth noting that most often on the counters of modern stores you can find exactly immature and low-quality avocados. If you still had to purchase one, it’s not critical. To bring the fruit “to mind”, it must be left at room temperature for a couple of days. This usually helps to solve the problem.
Breakfast: a couple of tablespoons of low-fat cottage cheese and half an avocado.
Lunch: boiled chicken egg, fresh cucumber and avocado (you can grind these ingredients and add a little green onion to create a delicious salad).
Dinner: 100 g of boiled beef and avocado; 2-3 st. l. low-fat curd.
