Monodiet is probably one of the most famous types of diets. It helps to lose weight in a short time by consuming one product. The advantage of such a diet is that a person loses weight quickly, and the result is achieved without psychological neuroses. In addition, it is not difficult to choose a product for the diet that is useful and tasty.
But its disadvantage is that if you do not follow a mono-diet once every few months or do not become a supporter of a healthy diet, then the weight will be gained in the same quick time as it was lost. Also, following this diet for more than three days is contraindicated due to the lack of useful elements entering the body (such as vitamins and minerals). It is much more effective and better to follow a mono-diet one day, but with a certain frequency.
You can eat according to the rules of monodiets for longer if you combine them into a complex according to the rule “a new product every day” for a week. The main thing to remember about two nuances:
First. All products should be easy to digest (vegetables and fruits are ideal).
Second. All food should be divided so as not to eat more often than once every three or four hours.
When creating your diet, the main thing to remember is the golden rule of alternation: every day the body should receive some new useful element, for example, carbohydrates today, vegetables or fruits tomorrow, protein the day after tomorrow. In addition, on one selected day, any dairy product should be included in the diet (but not after proteins and not before them). During the diet period, you can have unsweetened tea for breakfast, but it is better not to drink coffee.
Preparation
It will be easier to follow a diet if you first prepare for it. To do this, you need to reduce the number of portions and not overeat – this is important to remember when you need to return to your usual diet. It is also better to increase the amount of food gradually.
It is necessary to stop the diet carefully. The most optimal option is to start consuming a variety of well-digested foods (vegetables, fruits, lean meat and fish, cereals, pasta) in small quantities.
And in order to “kill two birds with one stone” and not only lose weight, but at the same time pay attention to cleaning and improving the body, you can eat oatmeal on the first and last days of the diet.
Consequences of monodiets
There are many options for mono-diets based on the consumption of rice, watermelons, bananas, carrots, dairy products, apples, cheese, etc., but they can be followed for a maximum of three days: the consumption of only one specific product leads to a number of bad consequences.
– If you consume too much cheese, it disrupts the metabolism of calcium in the body, which affects the general condition of nails, hair, teeth and bones.
– Yogurt does not contain carbohydrates and leads to disturbances in the functioning of the stomach and intestines.
– Porridge, even when consumed for only 1 day, can cause bloating or exacerbation of irritable bowel syndrome. In this case, have ColofaŃ or Adcumin in your home medicine cabinet.
