Japanese diet

The Japanese diet has long been proven to be effective in losing weight for many people.No other diet can compete with its results, but it allows every representative of the fair sex to remain beautiful and in shape for many years.

In addition, one of the advantages of the diet is the minimal financial costs and availability of products.That doesn't mean there's only congee on the menu;This also includes protein and plant-based foods.

There are many varieties of it in the world - rice, salt-free, and a whole nutritional scheme has been developed for each.

Working principle

The effect of losing weight on the Japanese diet is achieved through three basic principles.They help to achieve the desired result and maintain it at a constant level over a long period of time:

1. A low-calorie method is used
   Due to the small amount of calories supplied to the body, it has to use its own reserves as “fuel”, which leads to an effective loss of extra pounds.
2. High protein content
   This causes the body to begin burning excess fat faster due to the high energy expenditure required to process protein.
3. Low salt content
   This contributes to the beneficial effects of the diet on the body - blood pressure normalizes, excess fluid is removed from the tissues and tissue swelling is eliminated.

This type of nutrition is suitable for people with different configurations and desires for efficiency.For example, to get rid of 4-5 extra pounds, you need to follow the chosen diet for seven days.

If you need to lose up to 10 kg, the period will be doubled to 14 days.In some cases, the Japanese diet is allowed to be used for 1 month if there are no contraindications.
