Ginger diet, 2 months, -16 kg

Losing weight up to 16 kg in 2 months.

The average daily calorie content is 1120 Kcal.

Ginger has long been known as an aromatic spice that enriches various dishes with a unique taste. And healers from Asia suggested using it not only to improve the taste of food, but also to treat many diseases, including obesity. This is how the ginger diet was born, which attracted residents of the post-Soviet space with its simplicity and effectiveness.

The main secret of this technique is as follows. The ginger added to the diet contributes to the fact that a person begins to eat much less food, and, therefore, excess weight leaves the body. You can follow the ginger diet for up to two months. In this case, as a rule, it takes about 1,5-2 kg weekly. With noticeable excess weight, the plumb lines will be more noticeable.

Ginger diet requirements

As for the rules of the ginger diet, you will surely be pleased that it does not provide for strict restrictions on the choice of foods consumed. The only thing that is recommended to refuse (or at least minimize in the diet) is from a simple type of fatty food containing carbohydrates. Still, you can not abuse pickled, too salty food and various smoked meats.

It is necessary to control the daily calorie intake so that it does not exceed 1600-1800 calories. If you want a faster and more noticeable weight loss, this figure can be lowered for a certain time, but not less than 1200 energy units. Otherwise, the metabolic process is threatened with a slowdown, and instead of losing weight, you will get the exact opposite result, or the weight will simply stall in place.

Of course, it’s best to skip sweetening your drinks. But if this is problematic for you, then at least use cane sugar. Better yet, use honey with white sweets, which is a much more useful addition to the diet.

It is most correct to plan meals so that there are 3 main meals and 2 snacks. A very important rule, which, in general, supplies ginger to the body, is to drink a drink made from it (the recipe is given below). On a day, in order for the diet to be effective, it is recommended to consume 1,5-2 liters of this miraculous liquid. In addition to the ginger drink, you should drink plenty of plain clean water. The use of various teas is also encouraged (it is best to drink green), juices from fruits and vegetables (they should be drunk between meals).

Dinner is not limited to a specific time, but it is better that she was no later than 3-4 hours before bedtime. And it is desirable that dinner more often consisted of foods that saturate the body and at the same time are easily digested (for example, low-fat fish, seafood, dairy and sour-milk products, non-starchy vegetables). The most high-calorie food, on the contrary, eat at the beginning of the day, ideally for breakfast or a snack between breakfast and lunch.

It is also very good to exercise with a ginger diet. Any physical activity will allow you to mobilize metabolism, which will already accelerate from the introduction of ginger into the diet. This tandem of nutrition and sports will allow you to achieve even faster weight loss and the acquisition of the desired physical forms. It is especially good if you introduce an aerobic type of exercise into your routine.

It is not necessary to take a vitamin-mineral complex in parallel with a ginger diet (although this is not at all prohibited). But the use of adaptogens is very desirable. For example, tincture of ginseng or lemongrass, which is recommended to be taken in the morning in the amount of 20-30 drops, can be excellent as this drug.

Our main ginger drink is prepared as follows. It is necessary to grind about 20 g of ginger root, then pour 1,5 liters of boiling water over it, add a teaspoon of honey and a little (pinch or two) cinnamon. You can also, if you do not mind a spicy taste, send a pinch of pepper to the contents. And for lovers of a softer taste, it is not forbidden to add a little mint, lingonberry leaves, lemon balm, lemon juice to the drink. Experiment. Pour the drink into a thermos and drink: a glass – in the morning, as soon as you woke up; a glass – 1-2 hours before a night’s rest; the rest of the contents – during the day, between meals.
