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 right combination of which will help you gain 5-8 kilograms of weight in just 2 weeks.
The basic principle of the Japanese diet is limiting carbohydrates and fats, as well as fostering willpower and patience.
Detailed menu of the Japanese diet for 14 days
For two weeks of the diet, we need:
- good coffee (we will drink it a lot and often, so it is better that it was just very good, high-quality coffee beans);
- beef;
- chicken eggs;
- tomato juice or a few fresh tomatoes;
- White cabbage;
- vegetable oil (better if you use olive oil or flaxseed oil);
- any (your favorite) fruits;
- 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 freshly brewed coffee (no sweets). Before coffee, drink a glass of warm water to prepare your stomach for breakfast.
- For lunch we prepare a light cabbage salad with butter. Such a salad will help in cleansing 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 one tomato.
- Dinner will be modest but satisfying. Take any fish, boil 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, do not forget about a glass of warm water before breakfast.
- At lunchtime, we repeat the menu of our yesterday's dinner - baked or boiled fish without salt.
- In the evening we cook beef. It is advisable to boil the meat or stew it without salt. We wash down our dinner with kefir.
Day number 3
- A traditional morning is accompanied by unsweetened coffee with a biscuit 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 (in slices or halves) in a little oil or baked in foil.

Day number 4

- But for dinner, real happiness awaits us - fruit! True, your table on this day can only be decorated with 200 grams of apples, oranges or pears.
Day number 5
- If you're madly bored with coffee for breakfast, today is your day! We have breakfast with grated raw carrots seasoned with lemon juice (you can just squeeze the juice out of 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 replaced with fresh tomato.

How easy is it to transfer Japanese diet?
- It is important to adjust yourself psychologically correctly. Try to come to an agreement with yourself - before starting a diet, do not suggest to yourself that now you will have to live in 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 and still water, not only during the diet, but also after it. First, water creates a feeling of fullness. Secondly, it is simply necessary for normal metabolism, for the removal of toxins and toxins from the body. And thirdly, during food restrictions, water saves our skin from dehydration.
- Avoid salt, sweets, and alcohol altogether 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 legs, dumplings and other foods that are harmful to your figure. Remember that harmony and restraint in food is necessary for the harmony of the body.
- Observe all the items on the Japanese diet menu. Just one product taken at the wrong time can completely wipe out 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 give up high-calorie foods, reduce the amount of food consumed.
