Unloading the entire digestive system, freeing yourself from a couple of extra pounds, removing all available toxins and toxins from the body - these are just some of the goals that the so-called grape diet pursues. It is known for a long time (approximately since the times of the ancient Greeks and Arabs). However, a new wave of popularity happened back in 1927, when a little-known South African nurse named Johanne Brandt managed to not only lose a few pounds, but also completely recover from cancer.
Benefits
The grape diet has long bothered the minds of scientists. So, several researchers decided to conduct an experiment (about 500 volunteers participated), during which nutrition was based solely on this system. 90% of the subjects admitted that after the course they felt extraordinary lightness throughout the body, increased mental activity, as well as a decrease in volume in the waist and hips. In addition, doctors noticed that the grape diet contributes to the normalization of stool (lack of constipation) and excellent sleep (almost no one complained of insomnia). Also, this diet allows you to significantly reduce the level of "bad" cholesterol.
disadvantages
Some noted that the grape diet caused a slight increase in body temperature, a plaque appeared on the tongue, as well as a slight runny nose. Scientists explain these facts by the fact that the body is so struggling with toxins. To alleviate the general condition, it is recommended to drink more fluids, visit a bathhouse, more often take walks in the fresh air.
Basic Rules
The grape diet for weight loss is, first of all, mono-nutrition. It is recommended two days before the start of a new diet to prepare your body - exclude alcohol and sweets from it, as well as absolutely all animal products and so-called fast food. Then, for one week, a small amount of grapes should be eaten daily (approximately one bunch every two hours). As a result, consuming about 2 / 2.5 kg of this fruit per day, you will not only cleanse your body, but also significantly reduce body weight. Experts recommend giving your preference to a white variety of shashla or nutmeg, as they contain a relatively small amount of sugar. It is better to eat fruits along with the seeds, since they also have a lot of substances useful for the body.
Grape diet. Reviews
In fact, almost everyone is talking about the positive side of this diet. Only a few complain about the poor health described above. Particular attention should be paid to the way out of this mono-nutrition. So, on the first day after the diet you should eat only fruits, the next day you can already go to vegetables, yoghurts and boiled eggs. On the third day it is allowed to eat boiled fish. After that, you can return to your usual diet. Note that you should not immediately lean on unhealthy foods (fatty meat, fast food, etc.), since the result will not be fixed, and the body will again be exposed to “harmful” cholesterol and toxins.
