“In vino veritas” - the famous Latin maxim says. Moreover, its relevance does not disappear today, because this expression fully reflects the essence of the wine diet used in modern society.
The fact is that any weight loss technique limits alcohol consumption to a minimum or eliminates it completely from the diet. The wine diet not only allows you to consume good wine, but is also completely based on this. Of course, there are a number of limitations in it. So, it is forbidden to consume sugar and salt. As for liquids, you can only drink wine and water. You can not drink coffee, tea, juices, sweet carbonated drinks. Meat and fish should also be excluded from the diet, giving preference to dairy products and foods of plant origin. The approximate calorie content of one day is 750 kcal.
We all know that alcohol dilutes blood. Wine helps the body fight stressful situations and balance the work of all its organs and systems. In addition, both red and white wine contribute to the breakdown of fats. However, this does not mean that you need to become an avid drunkard and constantly drink strong drinks. This diet has a number of strict rules and restrictions.
First of all, its duration should not exceed 5-7 days. Estimated weight loss for this period is 5-7kg. The daily menu here is exactly the same:
- Breakfast should consist of one boiled egg and tomato.
- The second breakfast includes a green apple, which, if desired, can be replaced with 100 grams of applesauce.
- Cottage cheese (200 g, non-greasy) and cucumber. Nutritionists believe that you can alternate cheese and cottage cheese (one day the first product, the next day the second).
- Dinner consists of only 200 ml of red or pink wine. Note that to achieve the desired result, you need to use high-quality wine, because the powder effect necessary for weight loss will not.
The wine diet is great for the holidays (as it does not prohibit alcohol). We all know that it is on these days that many gastronomic temptations appear, which are very difficult to overcome. The daily norm of 200 ml, indicated in the diet, can be divided into several equal parts and consumed during the day. Therefore, during the holidays you can not only not gain extra pounds, but also lose weight. The fact is that since the wine diet excludes the use of salt and sugar, the metabolic process improves, which allows you to cleanse the body of toxins and toxins.
However, the use of this system has several disadvantages and limitations. First of all, it is impossible to adhere to those people who have ever had an addiction to alcohol and abused alcohol. The same goes for those who do not drink hard drinks at all. The wine diet is also contraindicated in pregnant women and nursing mothers.
Note that before using the technique, it is necessary to consult a doctor, because some diseases prohibit the use of alcohol. There are such chronic diseases in which the intake of salt is necessary, because its absence stimulates the active elimination of fluid. And this may be contraindicated.
Another disadvantage is that this diet can be carried out no more than once every three months.
The wine diet, reviews of which can be found contradictory, causes a similar controversy due to the fact that it allows you to consume a small amount of nutrients. Firstly, not every organism can tolerate this, and, secondly, you can’t stick to it for a long time, because it can cause irreparable harm to health. Therefore, preliminary consultation with a specialist is simply necessary. Only in this way can one be informed in advance of the possible consequences.
