All the first day we eat fresh tomatoes and drink tomato juice. It is important that there is no room for sugar in the drink. It is best to drink homemade juice, the quality of which you have no doubt. On the second day, only boiled rice, brown cereal is the best choice. The third day duplicates the diet of the first day. The daily rate of water consumption is at least 8 glasses. You can have a cup of tea or coffee if you feel like it. You should refrain from adding salt and sugar to all foods and drinks.
Exist weekly tomato diet called “plus one”… In addition to unsalted tomato juice, which is a key element of the diet, you can add one other product from this list every day:
– potatoes;
– low-fat or low-fat cottage cheese;
– fruits (only grapes and bananas are prohibited);
– dried fruits (exceptions include figs, bananas, raisins);

The technique involves three meals a day with refusal to eat later than 18:00 (maximum 19:00). The menu is based on tomato juice, various fruits and vegetables, brown or brown rice, rye bread. Again, remember to drink plenty of fluids.
Regardless of how you lose weight with tomato, try to make time for sports.

After or before food excesses, to help the stomach and body cope with the effects of calorie busting, you can arrange one fasting day on tomatoes… In the morning, you should eat a slice of bread (rye or wholemeal) and a glass of tomato juice. For lunch, you can afford half a liter of this drink, and from food you can give preference to unsalted rice porridge (a few tablespoons) and boiled or baked non-starchy vegetables (1-2 pcs.). A green apple and a glass of tomato juice are good choices for an afternoon snack. For dinner, 100 g of cooked chicken fillet and 100 ml of tomato juice are recommended. Such a day, as a rule, is easily tolerated, allowing the stomach to rest and bringing a pleasant feeling of lightness.
