What associations do you have with the name of the Japanese diet? Maybe you fancy fresh rolls or seaweed salads dressed with aromatic additives? In fact, in the Japanese diet, you will not find traditional Japanese dishes, but there are healthy and tasty foods, the correct combination of which will help you gain 5-8 kilograms of weight in just 2 weeks.
The basic principle of the Japanese diet is to limit carbohydrates and fat, as well as to encourage willpower and patience.
Detailed menu of the Japanese diet for 14 days
During two weeks of dieting, we need:
- good coffee (we will drink it a lot and often, so it is better that it is only very good, high quality coffee beans);
- beef;
- chicken eggs;
- tomato juice or some fresh tomatoes;
- White cabbage;
- vegetable oil (better if you use olive oil or linseed oil);
- any fruit (your favorite);
- sea fish (trout, chum salmon, halibut, coho salmon);
- carrot;
- crackers, bread (rye);
- kefir (it is better not to choose low-fat kefir).
Day number 1
- In the morning we drink fresh coffee (not sweets). Before coffee, drink a glass of warm water to prepare your stomach for breakfast.
- For lunch we made a light buttered cabbage salad. Such a salad will help cleanse the body (pure fiber), and olive oil will allow the skin to remain young and beautiful (this is especially important during a diet). At lunch, we drink a glass of tomato juice or eat a tomato.
- Dinner will be modest but satisfying. Take the fish, boil it or bake it in the oven without salt.
Day number 2
- For breakfast, we again drink coffee without milk and allow ourselves to eat it with a slice of bread (rye). Also, don't forget a glass of warm water before breakfast.
- At lunchtime, we repeat the menu from our dinner yesterday: fish baked or boiled without salt.
- At night we cook veal. It is advisable to boil the meat or cook it without salt. We wash our dinner with kefir.
Day number 3
- A traditional morning is accompanied by unsweetened coffee with a cookie or crouton. Remember that a crouton and cookies are exactly one piece, not a whole kilogram!
- At lunchtime, we cook ourselves a delicious and unusually healthy zucchini. It can be fried (sliced or halved) in a little oil or baked in foil.
- Today we are waiting for a truly royal dinner! Hard boiled eggs (2 units). We also cook beef and eat it all with coleslaw.
Day number 4
- After yesterday's party, we only had strong coffee in the morning. No cookies or cupcakes.
- Lunch also looks a bit lacking: a hard-boiled egg, 3 buttered carrots. The only joy in lunch is cheese! But only 200 grams.
- But for dinner, true happiness awaits us: fruit! It is true that your table on this day can only be decorated with 200 grams of apples, oranges or pears.
Day number 5
- If you are insanely bored with coffee for breakfast, today is your day! We had breakfast with grated raw carrots seasoned with lemon juice (you can only squeeze the juice from half a lemon).
- For lunch we already have the usual boiled or baked sea fish (about 400 grams) and a glass of tomato juice, which can also be substituted for fresh tomato.
- If you had some fruit left over from yesterday, great! Today we meet again with dinner with different fruits.
Day number 6
- We greet the morning with fresh coffee. And we started dreaming about dinner.
- At lunch we will have chicken (we cook about 400 grams) and cabbage salad.
- We pay a rich daily diet with a rather meager dinner of two eggs and a carrot salad.
Day number 7
- We have green tea for breakfast.
- In the afternoon we delight ourselves with an interesting combination of fruits and boiled beef.
- And we ourselves write the dinner of the seventh day of our diet, starting from the night options of the previous six days (except the most abundant dinner of the third day).
Day number 8
- This day's diet fully coincides with the seventh day of our diet: green tea, veal with fruit, and any dinner of your choice, except for dinner on the third day.
Day number 9
- In the morning, after a glass of warm water, we drink hot coffee.
- At lunchtime, we allow ourselves to eat chicken (half a small carcass). We eat it with cabbage or carrot salad (your choice).
- In the evening we cook two eggs and rub raw carrots (we need about 200 grams, which is about a glass).
Day 10
- In the morning we take a coffee break, indulge ourselves with a carrot salad with olive oil.
- At mealtime, we take a large, tasty fish out of the fridge, fry or cook it, and eat it with gusto. We wash the fish with a glass of tomato juice.
- We eat fruit for dinner.
Day 11
- We will have breakfast with a cup of black coffee with croutons or sugar-free cookies.
- For lunch, fry or bake a medium zucchini in the oven.
- And for dinner we get the now familiar 2 hard-boiled eggs, boiled veal, and a cabbage salad.
Day number 12
- For breakfast, just coffee and a very small piece of rye bread.
- We have lunch with fried or baked fish with tomato, cucumber or cabbage salad. We continue to season the salad with olive oil (instead of the usual mayonnaise).
- For dinner we have a glass of kefir and boiled beef.
Day number 13
- Anticipating the imminent end of the torment, we enjoyed breakfast with a cup of coffee.
- Next, two eggs with cole slaw and tomato juice.
- At night - sea fish.
Day number 14
If you finish reading the menu without a snack in hand, you've won! And most likely, you have already received your award, minus 5-8 kilograms. But we only have one day left to hold out.
- For breakfast, we are happy to prepare our own coffee.
- We had a cabbage and fish salad for lunch.
- We dined with boiled veal with a glass of kefir. We go to the mirror and enjoy the result!
How easy is it to transfer the Japanese diet?
- It is important to adapt psychologically correctly. Try to come to terms with yourself: before starting a diet, do not suggest that now you will have to live on a regime of severe restrictions. Our body reacts to such attitudes unequivocally: it resolutely does not want to say goodbye to being overweight. Imagine that you are participating in a fun game.
- Do not forget to drink plenty of clean, non-carbonated water, not only during the diet, but also after it. First, the water creates a feeling of fullness. Second, it is simply necessary for normal metabolism, for the elimination of toxins and toxins from the body. And thirdly, during food restrictions, water prevents dehydration of our skin.
- Avoid salt, sweets, and alcohol during the diet.
- Try to get in and out of the Japanese diet smoothly. In the same way, after a diet, do not pounce on your favorite sweets, fried chicken thighs, meatballs and other foods that are detrimental to your figure. Remember that harmony and moderation in food is necessary for the harmony of the body.
- Look at all the menu items for the Japanese diet. A single product taken at the wrong time can kill your efforts. Therefore, if you decide to follow a diet, follow it according to all the rules.
Enjoy the new experience. And you will definitely receive harmony and well-being as a reward.
2-3 weeks before the diet, gradually abandon high-calorie foods, reduce the amount of food consumed.
