Hollywood Diet

Basic data

Duration: 14 days.

Expected weight: up to 12 kg.

User rating: 9.5 out of 10.

The Hollywood diet imposes serious restrictions on foods high in carbohydrates and fats; the emphasis is also on reducing calories consumed. And the whole emphasis is on protein foods: meat, fish, vegetable fiber, fruits and vegetables. The diet is called Hollywood for the reason that popular star divas were on it: Renee Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Nicole Kidman and many others. Each of them once had problems with weight, but after this nutrition system everything returned to normal.

The basic principles of the diet are as follows:

• Throughout the entire period of the classic diet, you need to completely exclude breakfast. However, now you can find variations where it is recommended to use a cup for breakfast. green tea, natural brewed coffee, naturally without sugar, or half a grapefruit.
• An absolute ban applies to bread, confectionery, starchy vegetables and fruits, and alcohol.

• Food on the Hollywood diet can be boiled, steamed and stewed, but oil and fat cannot be used.
• Drink enough fluids, i.e. at least 1.5 liters.

This is not to say that it is easy to stay on such a diet, but the reviews about it are very good, and the plumb line is amazing. Of course, a lot depends on the initial indicators, because the more excess weight, the greater the plumb line will be.

Brazilian diet

Basic data

Duration: 7 days.

Expected weight: up to 5 kg.

User rating: 9 out of 10.

But this diet is already followed by Latin American models. However, despite the fact that their figures cannot be called emaciated, the Brazilian diet is strict and far from easy. This nutritional system is based on relatively frequent meals, on average five to six meals, at least four, but in small portions. The second feature of the diet is that you need to strictly adhere to the menu. You cannot skip a meal or change places, then the effectiveness will be in doubt. During the diet, you need to completely give up junk food: spicy, salty, sweet, flour, smoked. Spices should not be used during cooking. Many may argue, because some spices promote the process of burning fat, but at the same time they also whet the appetite, which is not good.

During the diet period, given the paucity of the menu, it is important to carry out taking vitamins, especially a deficiency may appear in vitamin C. It is good if you consult a doctor before switching to dietary nutrition. On this diet, just like on others, it is very important to drink a lot of fluids, this will help avoid intestinal problems and not cause constipation. You can just drink water freshly squeezed juices or mineral water without gas. The maximum duration of the diet is 14 days, no longer!

On the diet, you can eat meat and fish, so the feeling of hunger will not be so strong. Its main advantage is high efficiency with minimal damage to the body. But besides the advantages, there are also disadvantages. Firstly, as we have already said, it is tough, and this can be stressful for the body, especially for those who have not previously been on diets. Secondly, the lack of carbohydrates can cause fatigue and slow thinking. So be careful. Thirdly, the diet contains a lot of coffee, which tea supporters may not like.

Diet milk tea

Basic data

Duration: 3 days.

Expected weight: up to 4 kg.

User rating: 10 out of 10.

The maximum duration of the diet is 7 days, but it is not recommended to stick to it for longer than three days. It is better to sit for three days with rest periods. In general, it is very good to spend on milkweed fasting days, which will also delight you with weight loss. Despite the simplicity of the milkweed diet, it still has its own principles. For example, food on “rest” days should be limited to various types of harmful foods, and you should not eat after six in the evening. On the day of the diet, you can only drink milk tea and mineral water without carbon. Such strictness in the menu makes the food very, very meager, because no real nutrients will enter the body, so in no case should you sit on it for a long time.

But with the help of such “nutrition” you can remove not only excess fat from the body, but also waste with toxins. This is exactly the case when little is good, but too much is bad. Tea with milk is a very healthy drink that has a beneficial effect on the condition of the blood. The two components of the drink complement each other perfectly, because milk fats are absorbed much better this way. It is recommended to use real green tea for brewing, then the benefits of the drink will be many times greater. But such a diet has many contraindications, so it is better to consult a doctor. People who are prone to allergies, have problems with lactose digestion, kidneys, and fluid levels in the body should abstain.

There are several options for preparing a drink, so you can choose the most suitable one. For example: pour a small spoon of green tea with half a glass of boiling water and let it brew for a while. Then a cup of low-fat milk is poured in. Or this option: take one and a half liters of milk and heat it to 70°C, then add a couple of large spoons of green leaf tea to it, cover with a lid and let it brew. Everything is very simple, and most importantly effective.

Watermelon diet

Basic data

Duration: 5 days.

Expected weight: up to 7 kg.

User rating: 9 out of 10.

Quite a tasty diet, the base product of which is watermelon.  The watermelon diet has many advantages. Firstly, it has very few contraindications, so it is often prescribed by doctors themselves, secondly, it is tasty, and thirdly, given that you can only sit on it in the summer (after all, there are no watermelons at other times), there will be no problems with hunger, because... I don’t really feel like eating in the heat. The positive aspects include the high effectiveness of such nutrition. But before going on a diet, you need to work hard on choosing a watermelon. To do this, you need to take only ripe berries that have no damage on the surface. The watermelon should be medium in size and weigh about ten kilograms. These parameters will allow you to choose the most natural product, grown without chemicals.

You can check a watermelon for the presence of nitrates and for ripeness in general differently, but after purchase. Cut out some of the pulp and throw it into a glass of water. If the product is of high quality, then the water will simply become cloudy, and if it contains nitrates and other chemicals, the liquid will change color.

Despite the fact that the diet is called watermelon, the diet is not limited to it. It is acceptable to eat other foods, but not all. Allowed:

• all types of dietary meat and fish;
• vegetables and fruits, except banana;
• cereals.

But you should avoid fatty foods, cheeses, eggs, dairy products, smoked foods, salt and sugar. Why is this so? Yes, because if you combine watermelon with forbidden foods, it will lead to severe stomach upset, rapid heartbeat, bloating, but there will be no plumb line.

User rating: 9.8 out of 10.

Who else but models has to constantly monitor their figure, and if necessary, urgently need to lose excess weight within a few days? Therefore, the model diet is very effective, but at the same time extremely strict. Someone will think that three days is all that can be difficult. But that was not the case. Due to the scarcity of the diet, it is extremely undesirable to use it more than once a year. Under no circumstances should it be used by those who have kidney problems, because in this situation you cannot have too much protein.

The big advantage of the diet is that it works for absolutely everyone, even those for whom other diets do not work, and the weight goes off even if there is no excess. The main negative side of this diet is its very low calorie content, and this can lead to dizziness, lethargy and nervousness. You need to enter such a diet gradually, just like leaving it, this will allow you to cause less damage to the body and not gain back the lost weight. There are several options for model diets, for example:

• kefir-apple - a liter of kefir and five green apples are allocated per day;
• vegetable - it is permissible to eat vegetables exclusively with negative calorie content;
• cottage cheese - a three-day diet is limited only to cottage cheese and tea;
• cabbage - only this vegetable is eaten - it can be steamed, ferment, stew or boil, as you prefer.

The main essence of the diet is to eat only permitted foods and nothing more, and if you want to eat at the wrong time, then you need to drink water. It’s just that the amount of water here is not limited, you can show off as much as you like. No salt or sugar, all this contributes to fluid retention in the body.

Juice diet

Basic data

Duration: at your discretion.

Expected weight: up to 1 kg per day.

User rating: 9.8 out of 10.

The essence of the diet can be outlined in points:

• You should only drink freshly prepared juices; you cannot prepare them in excess and then drink them.
• In addition to juices, you can drink tea (preferably green varieties), decoctions, and water.
• You should not drink the juice in its pure form due to its high concentration. Therefore, before drinking, the drink must be diluted in a 1:1 ratio. For these purposes, you can use mineral water without gas.
• To prepare drinks, it is better to use seasonal fruits and vegetables of domestic production, since foreign products often contain chemicals.
• If the drink needs to be sweetened, you can add a small spoon of honey to it.
• Some vegetable juices go well with fruit juices, such as dill, parsley and celery.
• When drinking juice, you must also eat the grounds, as this is a direct source of pectin and fiber, which contribute to the proper functioning of the intestines.
• During the diet, it is better to give up bad habits.

Juices are very healthy, tasty, they help the body function, saturate it with vitamins, and also help fight excess weight - isn’t that wonderful? You need to properly prepare for such a diet, namely, a week before the planned “X” day, give up junk food and switch to vegetables, fruits and dishes made from whole grains.

During the diet, juices are prepared only from fresh vegetables that have no signs of spoilage. The maximum shelf life of the prepared drink is no more than an hour. Anything longer leads to a serious decrease in beneficial qualities. Four hours - and the juice turns into a vitamin “dummy”. For variety, you can prepare juice mixes, then you won’t get tired of it soon.

Diet by the hour

Basic data

Duration: 5 days.

Expected weight: up to 5 kg.

User rating: 10 out of 10.

Despite the fact that the duration of this diet is limited to five days, you can stick to it for quite a long time. Having chosen it, you will have to thoroughly train your memory in order to retain a lot in your head. But as a result, you can get not only a good plumb line, but also seriously improve the functioning of the whole organism. The main rule is not to overeat. Basic diet rules by the hour:

• Calculate the menu only for five days.

• The first meal on a diet is scheduled to be at seven in the morning, and the last meal is no later than nine in the evening.
• Nutrition is based on the following schedule: five days of diet - ten days of normal nutrition. During these ten days, no flour, no sweets and no overeating. It is better to replace sugar with fructose, and bread with crispbread.
• Every five days, weight will be lost in the amount of up to 5 kg, and during the period of usual nutrition, weight gain of 1-2 kg will be normal. With a month of eating this way, you can lose 8-10 kg.

Grapefruit diet

Basic data

Duration: 7 days.

Expected weight: up to 6 kg.

User rating: 9 out of 10. 

We won’t go into chemical details, but let’s just say that grapefruit contains certain substances that promote the breakdown of fat. At the same time, the fruit provides healthy nutrition for the body's cells. If you follow a diet correctly and strictly, the level of incoming sugar and fat in the body decreases. If we consider that it is thanks to these components that the cell receives nutrition, then when consuming grapefruit, they cannot eat with what comes with food. In order not to be left without nutrients, they will have to take “food” from the body’s internal reserves, i.e. wasting excess weight.

The weight of one fruit can reach 300 g, and its water content is about 90%, with a calorie content of only 32 kcal. The chemical composition is rich in vitamins and microelements, which have a positive effect on the heart and blood vessels, as well as on the functioning of other organs. Grapefruit is necessarily present in the diet of all athletes, so is it any wonder at its weight-loss qualities?

The principle of operation of the grapefruit diet is the same as that of the protein diet. During such a diet, sauces, fatty foods, salt and sugar, flour, dairy, white vegetables, soda and alcohol are completely excluded from the diet. The basic condition is to eat three times a day with snacks between the main meals. It is very important to avoid frying and steam, stew or boil food. Since grapefruit contains a lot of fiber, the feeling of hunger is not so painful, if not completely absent. During the diet, you can cleanse the intestines and nourish the body with vitamin C, normalize metabolism.

Be careful, the diet has contraindications, so consultation with a specialist is necessary.

Cucumbers are negative calorie vegetables. That is, in order to process them, the body spends much more calories than it receives from the vegetable itself.

User rating: 9.5 out of 10.

The soup diet can rightfully be called one of the most harmless and at the same time with amazing results. As with other diets, here you need to completely eliminate all unhealthy foods and bread. It is very convenient that the number of soups eaten is not limited. The soup is prepared in volume for exactly one day, so that you always eat only fresh. In addition to the first courses, it is permissible to eat fruits and vegetables, drink tea, coffee and water, but without sugar.

The advantages of the soup diet include the following:

• Simplicity and ease. The hardest thing about dieting is surviving the feeling of hunger. But here, when you can eat soup all the time, this doesn’t happen.
• Almost harmless. Broths and soups allow you to improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and normalize metabolic processes. There will be no heaviness or bloating, much less constipation, during the diet.
• Drinking plenty of fluid removes harmful substances from the body.
• Diet simplicity. There is nothing difficult about preparing dietary soups for yourself, except that you need to prepare them every day, without a week’s worth of supplies.
• Fast efficiency. The minimum weight loss per week is five kilograms, and if you also engage in sports, the weight loss will be significantly higher.

But it also has disadvantages, namely:

• There are contraindications: children and old age, pregnancy, problems in the gastrointestinal tract, heart, kidneys and liver.
• Despite the fact that the diet includes vegetables and fruits, the body may lack some important elements, so it is advisable to take multivitamins in parallel.

Products that should not be consumed during the diet, even in small quantities, include: soda, alcohol, animal fats, salt and sugar, and confectionery products.

We reviewed the most popular and effective diets, each of them is wonderful in its own way, but before switching to any of them, you need to remember something important. The plumb line indicator is a purely individual indicator and can vary greatly from person to person. Firstly, the cause of excess weight plays a big role. If it's just poor nutrition or overeating that has led to excess weight, then diet is a good way to get back in shape. However, if weight indicators have changed due to disrupted hormonal levels, then no diet will help until the problem is eliminated. Secondly, physical activity. Those who play sports during a diet have a higher percentage of weight gain than those who lead a measured life. But remember that dieting does not always provide enough nutrients, so sometimes physical activity can result in fainting and other negative consequences. If you have not been involved in physical activity before, then it is better to abandon it during the diet and start immediately after normalizing your diet, or limit yourself to simple exercises.
