Reading the recommendations of many popular weight loss methods, it seems that a slender figure is a rather expensive pleasure. Indeed, often in order to comply with the dietary rules, not budget products are needed. In fact, you can significantly transform the body without hitting the wallet, but, on the contrary, also saving money.
Cheap diet requirements
If you want to lose weight cheap and cheerful, of course, you can turn to mono-diets based on, say, oatmeal or buckwheat for help. Compared to other food products, eating only these cereals for a week will certainly be an inexpensive pleasure. And if you have your own piece of land, isn’t it economical to eat, for example, apples grown on it? But, as you know, mono diets are not the most healthy method of losing weight. It is better to approach the choice of a cheap weight loss method more carefully.
We advise you to combine the following wishes and create a diet-ration so that the food does not negatively affect either your financial condition or your health and well-being. By the way, you can lose weight quite significantly. Those who have gone 4-5 kilograms in a week will confirm this to you. Better not to sit on this technique for more than two weeks in a row.
It is necessary to give up fatty and high-calorie foods, exclude various sweets and pastries. You are only allowed to leave a few slices of rye or whole grain bread a day. It is also recommended to send pickled foods, pickles under the ban (while you can slightly salt the dishes themselves), smoked food.
The basis of food should be cereals, fruits, vegetables. It is good if the diet period coincides with the ripening season of the fruits used for food. In this case, both the price and quality of the products will only benefit. Sometimes it is not forbidden to supplement the menu (and even desirable) with fish and lean meat. Yet the body also needs a building material. Experts recommend eating on a cheap diet four times a day, basing the menu in such a way that there are 3 main meals and 1 small snack located between breakfast and lunch. Eliminate food after 18-19 hours (maximum – 20:00 if you go to bed very late). Otherwise, the process of losing weight may slow down significantly.
It is advisable to say no to strong coffee and tea and, of course, alcoholic and sweet drinks during the period of weight loss. In this case, it is worth consuming herbal, green teas without sweeteners, unsweetened juices (sometimes) and a sufficient amount of pure non-carbonated water. This will have a positive effect on metabolism and help to pacify a strong appetite, avoiding another overeating. Indeed, among other benefits, the liquid drunk perfectly fills the stomach.
