The Japanese diet was created in one of the diet clinics in this country.
The authors of this system claim that it completely reconfigures the metabolism of the human body, after which the extra pounds lost are not returned for at least several years.
Basic principles of the Japanese diet
A prerequisite for the use of the Japanese diet is a complete rejection of all kinds of alcohol, a ban on the use of salt and sugar, flour products and sweets.
A certain diet plan, created for two weeks, must be strictly followed: throughout these days it is necessary to follow the proposed menu consistently.
The authors of the diet believe that a deviation from the diet can change the metabolism in an unnecessary direction. One of the conditions of the Japanese diet is to drink a pint and a half of plain water every day.
Here is an example of the first day according to the suggested Japanese diet menu:
- breakfast - coffee;
- lunch - a few eggs with a tomato or 200 g of tomato juice, salad with fresh cabbage;
- dinner - fish, 200 g and cabbage salad.
Even from this example it can be seen that diet is by no means common in Japanese cuisine. In Japan, carbohydrates are preferred, mainly in the form of cereals, and eat a lot of seafood, vegetables and fruits. According to many doctors, it is this way of eating that ensures the Japanese a longer lifespan.
In the Japanese diet, the 14-day menu pays very little attention to carbohydrates, which are the main source of energy, which means that the body, in search of new ways to get food, will begin to consume those protein reserves thatare available. in muscle tissue.
As a result, it is not fat tissue that is lost, but muscle tissue. The situation does not change either increased protein intake, which also overloads the kidneys.

Nutritionist comment
In the proposed diet, there is clearly a lack of key micronutrients - calcium, magnesium, potassium, which are required by the body for full functioning.
There is also iron deficiency, without which the hematopoietic organs can not work. Vitamins A, B, C are also missing. If they are not enough in the body, the person's appearance deteriorates, efficiency decreases, the work of endocrine glands and digestive organs is disrupted.
The low calorie and monotony of the 14-day Japanese diet can lead to relapse and overeating. After the first week of using such a diet, sleep disturbances and decreased performance may be observed.
Black coffee included in the Japanese diet is a controversial product. Japanese cuisine does not use coffee at all. People who have cardiovascular disease should be careful about drinking coffee.
