Lose weight in 20 days
This diet will allow you to say goodbye to 20 kilograms of weight. Worth a try. 20 kg in 20 days with a diet of astronauts - this is quite real.
In fact, the menu remains the same as the 10 kilogram weight loss menu described in the previous section of the article for 10 days. But to hold out for almost three weeks in this diet is quite difficult. This may leave a not so good mark on your health. In order to prevent this from happening, try to adhere to the following recommendations:
- It is necessary to strictly observe the drinking regimen - at least two liters of water per day, but more can be.
- It is necessary to get enough sleep, preferably not less than nine hours a day, so that the body feels rested, alert and full of energy.
- Due to the fact that your body will be already too weak, it is recommended to minimize your physical activity. For example, if you are engaged in fitness, it is better to replace such exercises with a regular evening walk in the fresh air.
- It is best to take vitamins throughout the course.
- It is also best to isolate yourself from any kind of stress and nervous overload.
- If you feel unwell (feeling unwell), seek medical advice immediately.
Express diet
Human organisms are very different. Some have stamina, but some, alas, no. Therefore, if you do not have enough strength to hold out on such a complex, in some way even dangerous diet, that is, a more sparing option for its passage. You have to hold out not 20, or even 10 days, but just two days. According to some estimates, during these two days your body will be able to lose about two kilograms.
Diet menu schedule:
- Breakfast. 150 milliliters of tea or coffee. In such drinks, if necessary, you can add dried cream or milk, but not more than 20 grams. Remember that such components significantly increase the calorie content of drinks.
- Dinner. You need to eat a boiled egg. You can also eat some salad made with fresh cabbage. A small amount of lemon juice can be added to such a dish. This will fill the need for vitamin C.
- Dinner. In the evening you can already eat more hearty food. Chicken or beef will do. But be sure these products must be boiled, since in fried form such food is very fatty. Leaves of green salad are also not prohibited.
Contraindications of such nutrition
Due to the fact that this food system is very ambiguous and has a number of contraindications, you need to carefully read a certain list of people who are strictly forbidden from such a diet:
- The elderly, children and adolescents.
- Pregnant or lactating women, as this will affect both the baby and the composition of breast milk.
- Athletes also can not adhere to such a diet, since during exercise and severe overstrain, you can faint and in the future very often lose consciousness with any physical exertion.

Expert opinion on such a diet
Some, reading reviews on the diet of astronauts, believe that as a result of such a course they will become a more slender person. In addition, they will be able to control their diet and learn how to monitor the amount of food that they consume. But there is also a valid opinion of nutritionists that is difficult to ignore. Many experts do not speak well of such a diet.
And here are some warnings:
- You may experience frequent constipation due to a digestive disorder.
- Due to the large amount of protein food, violations in the functioning of the kidneys will occur, since when digesting proteins, the organs work for wear.
- Because of this diet, you lose weight very sharply, and this in turn is incredibly dangerous for metabolism.
And most importantly, you can’t immediately abruptly leave such a diet. This is fraught with unpleasant consequences. The exit from the diet of astronauts should be gradual.
