Do you like sweets, but are overweight and think that you will never see a beautiful figure until you get rid of your passion? As the developers of the sweet diet argue, you are wrong. This diet is short-lived, lasting only three days. But if you need to lose not 2-3 kilograms before some event, but to lose weight more significantly, you just need to contact her several times, taking breaks.
Sweet diet requirements
Note that the love of sweets in true sweet tooths is similar to alcohol or drug addiction. Of course, the first does not cause as much social condemnation as the other two. But for sweets it is often as difficult to give up sweets as it is for people suffering from alcoholism and drug addiction from their addictions.
In addition to an unattractive figure, craving for sweets often provokes a lot of other troubles. Lovers of the sweet life lie in wait, not to mention diabetes mellitus, problems with the pancreas and gastrointestinal tract, deterioration of the condition of the teeth and gums, vitamin depletion, dysbiosis, and skin problems.
Also, excessive consumption of sweets can lead to emotional instability, increased nervousness, aggressiveness, muscle fatigue, anemia, and decreased vision quality. A direct link has been established between the excessive presence of sugar in the diet and disruption of the cardiovascular system. Sugar can cause a lack of thiamine, and a decrease in the amount of this substance leads to dystrophy of the heart muscle and a host of health complications. And extravascular fluid accumulation, which is also triggered by overweight sugar, can even lead to cardiac arrest! And these are just the main problems.
Often the reason people can’t give up sugar is because this white food makes you feel falsely hungry. The person, it would seem, has just eaten something sweet, and quite high-calorie, and he wants to have a snack again. As scientists have found, when sugar is consumed in the brain, free radicals are released, which interfere with the normal functioning of brain cells and provoke hunger at a time when in reality you are full. So they deceive the body.
There is another reason that can cause a feeling of false hunger. When eating sweets in the body, there is a sharp jump in glucose. But just as quickly after that, if you don’t eat sweets, your glucose level drops sharply. Because of what you are drawn to the refrigerator. It is much easier to overeat in this state than if you were just hungry, without communicating with sweets before.
Honey and fruits, which form the basis of this diet, will help to calm down the cravings for sweets. One day it is allowed to pamper yourself even with ice cream.
Meals – three times a day, the intervals between breakfast, lunch and dinner are approximately the same. Try not to eat for at least three hours before bed. Snacks on a sweet diet are not desirable. If it is difficult to get through the time before meals, try to kill your hunger with tea, lightly sweetened with honey. This usually works. Any fruit is allowed. But it is better to stop your choice more often on apples, citrus fruits, and not on starchy fruits such as bananas. You can do anything from vegetables except potatoes. It is also not recommended to lean on legumes. Salting vegetable salads is allowed, but a little. If you can completely abandon salty foods for a short period of time – very good. To add flavor to the salad, as well as to tea, you can add a little freshly squeezed lemon juice.
By the way, replace high-calorie and unhealthy sweets in non-dietary time with more wholesome and lower-calorie sweets. Introduce more fruits, dried fruits (in particular, raisins, prunes, dates) into the diet. Jam (ideally no sugar) or honey can serve as a substitute for sugar in tea and other hot drinks.
Of the purchased sweets, marmalade and marshmallows are the most low-calorie and more useful. You can also keep some dark chocolate in your diet. The rest of the sweet products will certainly not bring anything useful to your health or your figure. If you want something from the forbidden products, it is not necessary to delete them from your life completely and irrevocably. This is fraught with stress and, as a result, a breakdown, because of which you can gain even more extra pounds.

Contraindications for a sweet diet
Observing such a diet without consulting an experienced specialist is contraindicated for those who have had gastritis, colitis, stomach ulcers or are diagnosed with diabetes.
However, to look to the doctor before the diet course will certainly not hurt everyone else, to make sure that such a diet will only benefit.
Benefits of a Sweet Diet
- Despite a rather noticeable decrease in calorie intake, which helps to achieve weight loss, such a diet maintains energy balance.
- A person remains vigorous and full of energy, can easily go in for sports and does not face an apathetic, and even more so a depressive, state (which, alas, happens when communicating with other diet technicians).
- Also, the pluses include the fact that the body does not have to face an acute shortage of useful elements.
- But, of course, it is not worth continuing the diet beyond the specified period. However, the menu of the three-day diet does not include all the substances the body needs. If you do not stop eating in time, problems can begin.
Disadvantages of a sweet diet
After a sweet diet, you will not be able to be proud of the result and the transformed figure for a long time, if you are not extremely responsible for your diet. In many respects, it is not excess weight that is lost, but liquid, which, with any excesses, can just as quickly and easily return, returning you to your previous forms, respectively.
Repeating the sweet diet
Since the sweet diet is short-lived and more like fasting days, it can be carried out quite often, if it is well tolerated. If you need to lose more than a couple of kilograms, contact her again, but after at least 7-10 days, or when you need to slightly correct your figure. This way you can achieve quite tangible results. The good news is that weight loss occurs gradually, in stages, without causing serious stress to the body and giving respite between diet runs.
