This is a very interesting topic for us today.
Anyone who regularly reads my blog knows that I do not welcome extreme measures to get results fast. But where people don't go to shed those pesky kilos fast. Some people drink soda to lose weight, others start eating activated charcoal packs, hoping for immediate results.
Why do people continue to believe that these methods can work? Because that's how we were made. We want to do everything at once. But it's philosophy, something we've applied today. So we won't argue "why", we'll look at "how".
But I'll warn you at the beginning: you can lose significant weight in a week, but this result won't be fixed over a long period of time, and most of the kilos lost will come back three days after you stop following the advice and go back normallymenu. At the same time, there will be very strict and thin menus. Also, the method is pretty extreme, so think twice if it's worth it.
How to Lose Belly Fat in a Week at Home
So, I think there are only a few good reasons to lose weight as quickly as possible. Or maybe you have an important event on your nose and you have to rub your nose for everyone to show how great you are. Or, for this event, you have to wear some kind of attire that you don't currently fit. Or you're an athlete who doesn't make it into a weight group and you desperately need to shed a kilo of your heels for a weigh-in.
These reasons are important, and they justify the starvation torture before you. You will shine at the best of times, and then, like Cinderella, when the clock strikes twelve, everything will return to normal.
And if you think you can stick to it for a week and lose 7kg, the result will be with you forever, then I will let you down. Do not. will not stay. Simply because the weight loss in the first week is mostly due to removing excess fluid from the body and maximizing emptying of the bowel. As you know, results like this don't last long.
How to Lose Weight Without Harm in a Week
The most important point now. During those 7 days you lose weight, you will be severely deficient in vitamins and minerals. If you decide to start everything tomorrow, start taking a multivitamin in the morning. Of course, it's unlikely that the balance of essential substances in your body will change over the course of a week, but it's okay to exercise caution.
In the diet I give you, there is almost no fat. The body needs it for healthy functioning. So, be sure to buy flaxseed or fish oil and drink it daily. This is really important. It can even be said that this is the most important condition for successful weight loss.
It would be great if you continued to take one of these substances after this diet.
It is also important to drink enough water. I've already expressed my opinion on how much water a person needs each day, and I'll repeat it: drink water so your urine is always light. Don't try to drink a certain amount, you don't have to drink 2-3 liters because a lot can even hurt and cause swelling. What's not the best way to manifest in weight.
Can I lose 3-7kg in a week?
It all depends on your physique and your current state. If you are a sporty girl who weighs 60kg and is 160-165cm tall, you can hardly expect to lose more than 3kg in such a short period of time. If you weigh 100 or more and suffer from edema, then you can count on 7 or even 10 kg, following a strict diet. Don't get too excited too soon, I repeat, the effect is very short-lived, even after switching to proper nutrition right after a strict diet, 2-3kg is regained in the first few days.
As I said, weight loss these days will be all about removing excess fluid and maximizing gut release. This state is unnatural to the body, and it cannot remain in it for long without harm. Lost body fat will not exceed 1-2 kg. This is physiology, you can't fool it.
The good news is that the stomach and sides will expand nicely during this time, as their volume is largely determined by how full the digestive system is. So if you need to wear a certain pair of jeans one day, that's perfectly achievable.
Well, the theory is over, let's move on to practice.
weekly weight loss menu
The principles of weight loss are the same as those I recommend for proper weight loss: a low-carb diet. Just very, very tough, on the verge of fouling. So listen to your body and if you get dizzy or your stress drops to an unacceptable level then stop the experiment, health is more expensive.
That's what we're going to do.
For the first three days we only ate protein. And only cooked.
This is necessary so the body can get rid of its own glucose stores and not receive them through food. Glucose that the body gets from carbohydrates is the easiest source of energy to absorb, and when the body stops absorbing it, it starts using its own fat to maintain bodily functions.
For the same purpose, we won't give him extra fat and let him spend only his own. Instead, we will, but only in minimum required quantities, so as not to compromise health. This is where fish oil or flaxseed oil will come in handy. You need to use them in the morning, 1 tablespoon per day. Yes, healthy fats are found in protein foods like fish and eggs, but in the modern food industry, they are not found in such high amounts. So don't forget that.
Allowed Products:
- Cooked meat products. Best is chicken breast. is pure protein
- Boiled eggs. Ideally, only the protein, with the yolk removed
- Steamed Shrimp and Fish
- Green tea (2-3 cups per day, but only if you don't have low blood pressure)
- enough plain water
all. Can't eat anything else for the first three days. If you have bowel problems, you can eat a spoonful of flaxseed in the morning instead of flaxseed oil. They have a mild laxative effect, and the fiber they contain helps improve bowel movements.
I deliberately don't write the serving size. Because depending on your weight and metabolic rate, your food needs are different. The important thing is not to feel hungry. Don't worry you can eat a whole chicken breast in one sitting - the protein doesn't turn into fat and everything the body doesn't need is simply removed. This puts an additional burden on the liver and kidneys, but does not harm health for 3 days. The most important thing is to stop in time and not try to sit on protein days for as long as possible.
The menu might look like this:
- Wake up: a spoonful of flaxseed oil and a glass of water
- Breakfast: steamed fish, coffee
- Snacks: boiled lean beef, green tea
- Lunch: Chicken Breast
- Snacks: boiled eggs, green tea
- Dinner: Chicken Breast
Yes, diets are not varied these days. But the sacrifice is worth it.
3-6 day menu
After three protein days, three vegetable days will pass. They are needed to clean out as much food waste from the gut as possible, restore normal digestion and keep carbohydrates low. Therefore, we will only eat vegetables that are negative calorie foods consisting of fiber and water. Fiber is also a carbohydrate, but it's not actually absorbed by the body, it travels through the entire GI tract with little change, and helps normalize stools, which may have been a bit complicated in previous protein days.
It is very important that the vegetables are fresh (ie raw). That's the only way to get the most out of them. Take a bell pepper and it goes from a fiber-rich product to a carb-rich vegetable. So there is no need to experiment. We only eat what is instructed
Approved product
- cucumber
- tomato
- Chinese cabbage
- broccoli
- Bell Pepper
- celery
- radish
- beet
- eggplant
You can eat them separately, you can use a scoop of the same flax oil for salads, and you can make vegetable smoothies. Just don't fry, don't stew, don't boil. The emphasis is on using raw vegetables.
Vegetables are hard to eat, so don't limit yourself. Eat whenever you feel hungry.
You may be drinking less water these days because there's a lot of water in vegetables. Don't drink as much water as you did for the first three days.
Keep using flaxseed oil.
last day of weight loss week
On the seventh day, the diet will consist of kefir only. This is necessary for a complete cleansing of the intestines.
There is already a quantity limit. Drink at any time, but the total amount should not exceed 1. 5 liters. Best to use kefir with a fat content of 1%.
If you persevered these days, congratulations, you have a steely character and an indomitable will to win. On the morning of the eighth day, stand on the scales and you will be rewarded.
What to do with this result next is up to you. You can get through the day it all started and go back to your previous regimen and the lost kilos will come back. Alternatively, you can continue with proper nutrition to lose weight and see the past week as a start, a powerful motivator for hitting new lows on the scale. You decide.
How Women Over 50 Can Lose Weight in One Week
There is one more caveat as a postscript. A little bit about age restrictions. If a 12-year-old is addicted to such a diet, it won't do any good. During the growth period, if you have weight problems, you need to pay attention to proper nutrition and do not strictly control your diet. This will only make the situation worse.
In adulthood, especially women, it's also worth taking a strict diet with caution. After all, being overweight is not caused by malnutrition, but by a malfunction of the hormonal system. Therefore, any experimentation with nutrition should be performed after examination by an endocrinologist.
Take care of your body, body spare parts have not yet been invented, please do not wear them in advance.
Well, that's all I have for today. Thank you for your attention.
