Athletes who are professionally engaged in power sports, including bodybuilding, have the concept of "drying the body." As a rule, they resort to it before the competition, when it is necessary to lose extra pounds. This is a truly highly effective technique. It will be useful to learn about it for those who may have an indirect relationship with the sport, but want to get rid of their excess weight. So, the essence of the body drying menu is to minimize carbohydrate intake. A person can not do without them, so limit their number to 50 grams per day.
At the same time, it is necessary to include protein food in the diet. The principle of the diet is that when our body feels the need for carbohydrates, it actively breaks down the fats available in the body. But you can not sharply go to the menu of drying the body, as this can turn into a sharp stress for the body and adversely affect your health. Carbohydrate intake should be reduced over 4 to 5 days. If you are the first time to “dry”, then be sure to monitor the state of your body. With severe discomfort and malaise, stop the diet.
Drying Products
So what should your diet include? It requires the presence of the following products: cabbage, cucumbers, kiwi, strawberries, bananas, radishes, celery, green peppers, lemons, zucchini, kefir, low-fat cottage cheese, boiled fish and some others. But first, all flour, sugar, pasta, bread, cereals, rice and potatoes are removed from the body drying menu, since these products contain carbohydrates. For effective weight loss, it is necessary to gain no more than 1300 Kcal per day. Only in this way the diet for drying the abdomen and body will pass quickly. It is also very important to consume a lot of fluids. Ideally, drink at least 2 liters of water per day. This will remove fats and waste from the body.
Constant training
When you abruptly begin to lose weight, the skin loses elasticity, becomes flabby, and the muscles slightly sag. Therefore, in parallel with the observance of the drying menu of the body, it is necessary to perform special exercises. These must include treadmills and a bike. These exercises are excellent pacemakers that provide extra weight loss. After them, you can proceed to the bench press and exercises with dumbbells.
During the drying period, it is not necessary to torture yourself with heavy loads, since the body does not have the necessary amount of energy for this. Therefore, train in gentle mode. Follow fewer sets, but do more reps. This will significantly improve the
relief of muscles, will reduce the deposition of fat in the abdominal
part of the body. Throughout the drying process, constantly listen to your body. Doctors say that 1300 Kcal per day for a person with a mass of more than 70 kg is very small. If you tighten the diet, you can greatly disrupt the metabolism. Therefore, before deciding on this type of diet, consult a nutritionist and, together with a fitness trainer, create an individual system of workouts suitable for you.
