A few years ago, liquid diets were used only in elite SPA salons, which were visited by stars and famous people from different countries.
The principle of action of a liquid diet is to consume food only in liquid form. In this case, the kidneys and liver are actively working, and the stomach is at rest and gradually narrows. Thanks to this diet, you can lose weight up to 3 kg per week. What is noteworthy is that after the completion of the "liquid diet" the feeling of fullness comes much earlier than before. Also, for people suffering from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, a liquid diet is very acceptable. Reviews are mostly only positive, as those who want to lose weight can withstand it quite easily. Also during this week, the body receives all the necessary nutrients contained in vegetable decoctions, juices and water.
In addition to all the positive aspects, there is one more thing - eating food only in liquid form helps to cleanse the body, rejuvenate and remove toxins.
If you decide to try the liquid diet for the first time, then you need to drink the first three days in the next mode. The day starts at nine in the morning and every hour you need to drink a glass of stewed fruit, warm or hot boiled water, vegetable decoctions, milk, juice and kefir. Be sure to alternate them in accordance with part of the day. On the third day, you can already take breaks at two o’clock, and the last two days - three hours.
