The Internet today is our everything, and several systems have appeared on its expanses, thanks to which users are promised weight loss. Option one. You need to register on the site, pay money, and then every day a person is told what exercises to do and how to eat. The main rule is to report, providing video and photos, that all instructions are being followed. Sometimes this fitness marathon is played as a game. The participant pays a small amount, for example, 2 thousand rubles, and must complete all tasks in order to reach the final in which the prize is played: a tidy sum of money, a car or even an apartment. Option two. The complex of training and the dietary plan for a person is developed by a nutritionist. And if in the first version the main thing is exercise, in the second one is nutrition.
Cons and pros:
— In the first version, there is no individual approach, the exercise program is the same for everyone – for women over 50 and for guys 20 years old. Such loads can be harmful for people over 40 years old who have hidden pathologies of the cardiovascular system and joints. Many marathons are organized by self-taught people, those who simply lost weight themselves and decided to share their experience with others for money. In the second option, there is also no guarantee that a qualified specialist is engaged in those who want to lose weight. On the Internet, all and sundry call themselves nutritionists. There is a rather new concept of “nutritionist” – a connoisseur of the science of food. To become one, it is enough to attend one- or two-month courses. And there is the concept of “nutritionist” – a doctor with a higher medical education. But on the Internet, nutritionists often call themselves nutritionists, they write: nutritionist (nutritionist). And these are two huge differences.
+ When participating in online marathons, a person gains strong motivation, a sense of team spirit, and this is especially important for those who live in small towns without fitness clubs. Before paying money, you should find out if you can personally consult with your online instructors and nutritionists. There must be a real person or team behind the project who is responsible. If it is proposed to lose weight in 2-3 weeks or a month, it is better to close this page. The ideal period for weight loss is 2-3 months. If you do not chase prizes and correlate the tasks with your capabilities and health, then you can really lose weight and achieve a beautiful figure.
It states that if a person abuses foods that acidify the body, then the acid-base balance shifts, which leads not only to fattening, but also to rashes on the face, pain in the joints. Acidic foods are meat, flour, dairy, sugar, coffee, alcohol. Alkaline are vegetables, fruits, herbs, raw nuts, seeds.
Truth and Fiction:
Acid-base balance for the most part depends on the state of human health and especially on the work of his digestive organs. If the stomach, intestines, liver, kidneys cope with the digestion of acidic foods, then the balance is normal. It makes no sense to completely abandon acidic foods, but overloading the body can lead to problems. To prevent this from happening, you need to follow a few rules. The ideal ratio of foods is 3 to 1, that is, for a serving of acidic foods, such as meat, you need to eat 3 servings of alkaline foods, such as cucumbers and tomatoes. And greens, garlic and mineral water have a unique ability to neutralize the acidity of foods. By the way, scientists from Pennsylvania have proved that if a woman eats a plate of green salad 20 minutes before the main course, the number of daily calories consumed is reduced by 10%!
Briton Louise Atkinson has come up with an unusual way to lose weight. She worked, ate, watched TV, spent time with family and friends only standing for 30 days, and as a result lost 8 kilograms.
Verification and conclusions:
Video blogger Lyubov Sidorkina repeated the experience of the British woman and did everything while standing for three days. And she did not lose a gram of weight. Of course, when a person is standing, metabolic processes improve, but only slightly. In addition, a permanent upright position will only harm health, especially the spine, and can lead to the appearance of intervertebral hernias. But this does not mean that you can lie down in front of the TV. In 50% of cases, extra pounds appear due to a sedentary lifestyle. But physical activity should be reasonable. Lose weight without fanaticism!
