Juices

Many believe that eating only freshly prepared juices during the day, you can not only lose weight very much, but also cleanse the intestines.In fact, doctors are very skeptical about juice mono-diets - this product stimulates the production of gastric juice, which leads to increased appetite.

Drying

Yes, this kind of dietary food exists. But experts are categorically against the refusal of liquid or reduction of its quantity - this presents a real danger to health and even life.

The most effective mono-diet

Nutritionists offer a variety of mono diets and do not eat exclusively one product all 5-10 days in a row.The best option is to combine different mono-diets. If you take the optimal duration of the given type of dietary nutrition for 7 days, then you can follow the following menu:

3. You can not have a milk day immediately after the protein( meat) or immediately before it.
4. Coffee in days mono diets is absolutely contraindicated.Every morning and every evening throughout the diet, you can drink 150 ml of unsweetened tea and give preference to the green.

Disadvantages of mono-diet

Despite the rave reviews of those who have lost weight using any mono-diet, doctors are rather cautious about this type of food.The fact is that with a great passion for mono-diets, there is a real danger to health, and in some cases, for a person's life.

Figure

If you eat too much, then there will be a thickening of the bile.The consequence of this phenomenon will be not only cholecystitis( inflammatory process in the gallbladder), but also the formation of stones.

In the absence of protein food with rice mono-diet, the level of hemoglobin in the blood decreases - the development of anemia is guaranteed.

There are almost no vitamins in rice, and even if losing weight will take vitamin complexes( pharmacological), it will cause an improvement in appetite and weight loss results can not wait.

Kefir

It completely lacks carbohydrates - it can reduce the efficiency of the brain and central nervous system.Long-term use of kefir in the mono-diet leads to disruption of intestinal peristalsis, which will manifest either prolonged constipation or persistent diarrhea.

Curd

Excellent product just for mono, but they too can not get carried away.The fact is that the consumption of only cottage cheese creates a colossal protein load on the body, as a result of which calcium metabolism is disturbed.If a person has problems in the work of the gastrointestinal tract, then inevitably there will be a violation of absorption of protein and calcium.

Pomegranate

Yes, the juice from this fruit is very useful, but if you drink it for at least one day, then immediately the risk of kidney stones, gall bladder and bladder formation increases by 48%.

Carrots

An excess of this vegetable leads to a so-called "carrot jaundice" and the first sign of this phenomenon is the yellowing of the skin.Since this indicates a violation of the liver, it is unlikely that a large amount of used carrots will be useful for health.

Apples

This fruit is generally the only carbohydrates!And the use of only apples leads to disruptions in the endocrine system, which can provoke even menstrual irregularities in women, even until it stops.

Apples do not give the body protein, and this affects the operation of the entire central nervous system.

Raw vegetables

The most popular method of losing weight - there are solid vegetables.But there is a great danger that the pancreas will be broken and the liver is depleted - a large number of vegetables is a blow to the enzymatic system of the body.

Bananas

This tropical fruit provokes constipation, which results in the absorption of toxins from the intestine into the cells of the body.In addition, bananas contain a lot of glucose and if you stick to a banana mono diet for more than 2 days in a row, you can "earn" yourself a minimum of high blood sugar and, as a maximum, diabetes mellitus.

In addition, you need to properly prepare for a mono-diet - for example, 2-3 days before "hour X" you need to reduce the usual amount of food you eat in half, do not overeat, make sure there are no diseases of the organs of the gastrointestinal tract.And getting out of the mono-diet should be extremely accurate!In no case can "pounce" on food - gradually enter into the menu the usual dishes and foods, adhere to the restrictions and still prefer a "light" food.

If it is correct to make a mono diet, to make sure that there are no diseases that can become a contraindication, not to get involved in any one product for more than 2 consecutive days, it will be really effective and safe.
