Diet 10: how to lose 10 kg in 10 days

What is the essence of the 10-day diet?

Protein products become the main product in the diet for 10 days, that is, in fact, the food takes the form of a carbohydrate-free diet. Although formally this is not an entirely accurate statement – after all, products containing carbohydrates are allowed on the menu, albeit in extremely small quantities – no more than 20 g per day. Meals in the diet for 10 days are fractional and frequent, but the amount of food consumed is not limited.

How does a 10-day protein diet work?

Here the mechanism of typical protein diets starts, when, due to the lack of carbohydrate nutrition from the outside, the body begins to actively burn adipose tissue in order to provide the body with energy. At the same time, the level of glucose in the blood is normalized, the general well-being improves, and at the same time, you do not feel sleepy and constant feeling of hunger.

To properly follow a diet for 10 days, you must drink a glass of still water on an empty stomach every day (with lemon). Eliminate fried foods and focus on baking, grilling, or steaming foods. And if you really fry, then only in olive oil. Add vegetables in a 2: 1 ratio as a side dish to meat. and do not forget to drink 2 liters of water without gas every day (and sometimes it is also useful to carry out a water diet 1-2 months before the start of the main diet for weight loss), just not during a meal and not half an hour before and after it. The last meal should be no later than 20.00.
