If you cook this popular dish correctly, the kilograms will melt before your eyes. And you are unlikely to remain hungry, because liquid food helps to keep you feeling full for a longer time. It turns out that in a week of eating with an emphasis on borscht, you can lose up to five kilograms of excess weight.
Diet requirements for borscht
First, let’s find out how to cook diet borscht. To maximize weight loss on a borsch diet, you should eat vegetarian borscht (refuse the presence of meat in it), and also not add potatoes to this dish. It is known that starch is not the best aid in losing weight, but there is plenty of this component in potatoes. So, for cooking diet borscht you will need: Beets, carrots, cabbage, bell peppers, squash, celery stalks, onions and tomato paste. Ready borscht should be liquid enough (the spoon shouldn’t stand in it, as they say). During the cooking process, we refuse to fry. Carrots, onions and beets must be steamed in a pan in the company of water and tomato paste. After adding cabbage, bell peppers, zucchini, borscht to them, you need to boil for 5-8 minutes. A couple of minutes before removing the pan from the stove, add chopped celery stalks and your favorite greens to the borscht, and also, if desired, lightly salt. Want to make your meal an even more powerful fat burner? Then add some red hot pepper to it. Just don’t overdo it! In order to reveal the taste of borscht, it is recommended to insist it for about half an hour under a closed lid. Now you can start eating.
There are several popular options for losing weight with borscht. In the weekly diet first diet option there is a certain set of food, in addition to borscht. For drinks, coffee and tea without sugar are allowed. But be sure to drink water in an amount of at least 2 liters daily. The six meals a day are provided to help maintain a feeling of fullness throughout the day.
On the first day of the borscht diet, you should consume 1,5 liters of the main course and up to 300 g of rye bread, which can be eaten with a liquid dish or separately. On the second day, the same amount of borscht is allowed to be supplemented with skinless chicken breast (300 g), cooked without adding oil, dividing the meat into two equal parts. Chicken can be eaten both with borscht and separately. On the third diet day, you need to eat up to 1 liter of borscht and supplement the menu with 500 grams of boiled buckwheat. It is recommended to eat cereals together with borsch and not more than 250 g at a time. On the fourth day, the set of products is as follows: 1 liter of borscht, 200 g of rye bread, up to 600 g of salad from non-starchy vegetables or any other, the calorie content of which does not exceed 50 units per 100 g of finished products. On the fifth day, it is allowed to eat up to 1,5 liters of borscht and up to 400 g of lean fish cooked without oil. Lean meat of pike perch, crucian carp, pike is held in high esteem. You can eat fish as an independent dish or combine it with borscht. On the sixth day, 1,5 liters of dietary borscht is supplemented with one kilogram of apples. It is better to choose green fruits of sweet and sour varieties. And the last diet day provides for the presence in the diet of 1 liter of borscht, 500 g of cottage cheese with a fat content of up to 9% and 0,5 liters of low-fat kefir. You should not eat more than 250 g of cottage cheese at a time, we drink kefir together with cottage cheese or separately from everything (but not together with the favorite of the diet!).
The second version of the diet on borscht is also designed for a week and promises similar weight loss. On it, during the first day, it is allowed to consume (in addition to borscht, which does not leave the diet for all 7 days) any fruit, with the exception of bananas and grapes. The menu of the second day includes any vegetables (it is advisable to focus on green varieties), except for legumes. On the third day, vegetables and fruits are present in the diet (the prohibitions of the first days remain in force, and it is also worth giving up potatoes). The menu of the fourth day repeats the previous one, but you can still drink a glass of milk (skim or low fat). On the fifth diet day, beef is allowed (up to 200 g), the preparation of which did not use oil, and tomatoes. On the sixth day, any vegetables are added to the diet of the fifth day (except for the previously agreed potatoes and legumes). And we finish the diet by eating on the seventh day borschik and a portion of rice with the addition of your favorite vegetables and drinking a glass of freshly squeezed fruit juice. It is recommended to take food 5 times a day, without overeating, and refusing food 2-3 hours before lights out.

Contraindications to the borscht diet
- You can not adhere to a borsch diet for people who have gastrointestinal diseases during an exacerbation.
- If your diseases are now in a “sleeping” mode, it is likely that this technique will not harm your body. But to be sure of this, it is highly recommended to consult a doctor.
Advantages of the borscht diet
- Probably the most important advantage of this technique is that during the period of following its rules, acute hunger is unlikely to knock on you.
- Although there is no meat in the main diet dish, it is great filling.
- This technique is also distinguished by the presence in its products of a sufficient amount of vitamins and microelements necessary for the body.
- And in just a week, you can quite noticeably modernize the figure.
Disadvantages of the diet
- It is difficult to find significant disadvantages of the borscht diet. Perhaps the only disadvantage of it is that for 7 days of such frequent use of borscht, this dish can get bored even by those who love it very much. So a certain endurance and patience still have to be stocked up.
- Observance of fractional nutrition can also become a difficulty for working and constantly busy people. If you can’t eat 5-6 times a day, switch to three meals a day, using about the same amount of products as with the recommended frequent snacks.
Re-dieting
The borscht diet is not recommended to be practiced more than once a month.
