Why the diet is called Japanese is difficult to say - half of the recommended foods to eat are foreign to the Japanese.
The experience of sitting on my diet is such that I would hardly have voluntarily resorted to this means of self-torture. If not for one "but": I personally saw the results of two weeks of sitting on the "Japanese" diet. As in the magazine: "before" and "after". Still, the principle, perhaps, works best in matters of beauty and health.
Why the diet is called Japanese, it is difficult to say - half of the recommended foods to eat are foreign to the Japanese. According to legend, the diet was developed by specialists from the Japanese clinic "Yakes", but English-speakingCouldn't find any other trace of this office on the internet.
lyrically sentimental digression
I must say that I admire the courage of those who are able to feel the recipe for losing weight found on the net and immediately try it on themselves. I myself am careful with diets. Life has given me twice about thembrought along
The first time - in a severe form, when in the mountains I caught some kind of stomach infection, and having been at an altitude of 3000 m for three weeks, I simply could not eat: everything asked to come back immediately. The second timeIt was when I decided to limit my diet to 1000 calories per day. For about a month, my diet consisted of morning coffee with ice cream, which is useful for lunch, and for dinner. Frozen vegetables. I learned that the diet should be balanced much later.
So the first question I asked was: How balanced is the Japanese diet? A biochemist friend replied, "More or less, but there are not enough amino acids, " you would be horrified with a gun. His fears about my hypothetically heightened viciousness did not materialize. For the first two days the body was in hisSuppressed by the sudden disappearance of normal food from life. And realizing that this was for a long time, but not forever, he became calm and apathetic.
fascination and despair
As in the course of each experiment on myself, I have accumulated a list of attractions and disappointments. Or rather, the discomfort and enjoyment of the diet.
Discomfort #1
The diet is strict. Because, according to its authors, it is designed to change the metabolism. Therefore, the slightest deviation from the course (even a crouton, even an apple) - and expectedEffect is not guaranteed. And this is what is expected: 5 - 8 kg in the future and part with weight stabilization.
Discomfort #2
It is very difficult to come to business lunch and ask me flirtatiously, please, two hard-boiled eggs and 200 grams of grated carrots. Usually such requests go unfulfilled. Therefore, you must carry all the provisions with you in your purse. And, most likely, prepare diet food the day before.
happy number 1
13 days on the Japanese diet will cost you about 2 times less than a daily business lunch or lunch at work. And even more so - the purchase of food for the home.
happy number 2
In general, it is better not to start a strict diet if at least half of the foods included in it are unpleasant for you. And since in "normal life" and fish, and boiled beef, and carrots, and kefir, and cabbageI eat with great enthusiasm, so it was, frankly, joyful to see them at my table.
Many people ask the question about drinking coffee every morning - is it not harmful? Coffee can have adverse effects if you have heart problems or high blood pressure. And before starting the Japanese diet, you should consult with your doctor.
a whole range of sensations
In the first two days of the diet, a vision haunted me: as I closed my eyes, a thinly baked pancake appeared to my inner gaze, spontaneously rolled into a tube. Then someone kindly gave it Strawberry JamDrowned it in my face. There were no olfactory hallucinations. After following me for two days, the pancake fell behind.
A harsh indifference and calm attitude towards culinary delicacies, which persists to this day. This does not mean that I would strictly refuse if I was offered something delicious. But the fact that "thereThere is so much food" is no longer seen.
I did not throw much - only 4 kg, but the weight is not growing back. I do not know who to thank for this: the developers of the Japanese diet or I - to do sports twice a week. The only description: during the diet, you become quite weak, and in the end it becomes problematic to open a closed bottle of mineral water. But then the strength is quickly restored.
