5 “tasty” options for unloading days

Fasting days are not harsh starvation and not just drinking water. You can now choose between different options, depending on your taste preferences. A fasting day takes place once a week – there are options for foodies and meat lovers. This is a kind of redesign for the body, in which you can not only lose weight, but simply put your health in order.

Everyone knows firsthand about the beneficial properties of bananas. Athletes call banana “natural energy” and also eat it to restore muscle tissue. Beautyholics claim that a banana has a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin, and doctors advise eating a fruit before going to bed – so victory in the fight against insomnia will be on your side. Well, nutritionists note: one day fasting on bananas every week – and you can lose weight. The fact is that the fructose in bananas kills cravings for sweets. Also, despite its low calorie content, a banana contributes to quick satiety – take note and have a snack at the office with fruit, not a cupcake.

The day of fasting on a banana has many variations. You can combine a banana with water (for breakfast, lunch and dinner, eat a banana and drink a glass of water), with milk (whipping milk and a banana in a blender) , or with cottage cheese.

Chocolate fasting days will appeal not only to sweet tooth, but also to those who suffer from high blood pressure. But diabetics should abstain. Of course, not just any chocolate will do – skip milk bars and airy whites. Choose dark chocolate with at least 80% cocoa.

A day of fasting can be constructed in two ways. You can eat 10 g of chocolate before each meal, or you can take 80 g of chocolate and spread its consumption throughout the day. At the same time, pay special attention to water – you need to drink 1.5 or even 2 liters (although you can drink water only 3 hours after eating a portion of chocolate).

If you can’t live without meat, then this option will suit you. Distribute 700 g of boiled chicken in equal parts for 6 meals every 3 hours. Drink lots of water and try to avoid vegetables. The essence of this day of fasting is a large amount of protein consumed – it speeds up the metabolism and causes the body to produce enzymes that break down fat. By the way, if you add physical activity to it (turn on video tutorials with Victoria’s Secret models or go to fitness), you can lose more than 1 kg per day.

The essence of this fasting day is a high protein intake. Mix in a blender about 500 g of cottage cheese (more possible!), 0.5 liters of kefir and unsweetened fruit – try to do without bananas, grapes and figs. Most of the cocktail should be cottage cheese and kefir – so you get a large dose of protein, which will positively affect your metabolism.

By the way, for those who like vegetables more, there is also an option. Mix kefir, cottage cheese, cucumber and greens (almost any will do: spinach, lettuce, parsley, onion).

Green apples are considered the most useful – however, be careful if you have gastritis or a stomach ulcer. During the day, crunch with apples (in a day you will need to eat about a kilogram) and jam with cottage cheese. Or drink a glass of mineral water half an hour before a meal, which will be apples. Apples can be combined with kefir and honey, or you can eat them separately without even drinking water – this way you will help the body get rid of excess fluid.
