Ask a Question

The inexpensive and very effective Favorite diet fully lives up to its name - it is one of the most popular methods for rapid weight loss, allowing you to lose from 7 to 15 kg in a week, depending on which option is chosen. The result also depends on how many “extra” kilograms you have - if your weight is not too different from the norm, then you most likely will not be able to get rid of 10 kg; the difference in weight before and after the diet will be from 3 to 4 kilograms .

Diet “Favorite” 7 days

The nutrition system is designed for a week so that each subsequent day you eat foods from a certain group. There is an alternation of drinking days with days when it is necessary to eat solid food. Under no circumstances should days be swapped. And if positive results are obtained, it is recommended to repeat it no earlier than after 10-12 weeks.

If you rely on reviews, the “Favorite” diet for 7 days allows you to lose 6-10 kg. If you consider that the menu does not become boring, then it is quite easy to endure the diet.

Conclusion

You should not go to extremes and deny your body its favorite food. Gradually adapt to a healthy diet, make it balanced, follow the regime. This way, you will avoid stress, won't quit halfway, won't regain lost fat, and be proud of the result. The main thing you must understand is not a diet or restrictions. Your lifestyle will qualitatively change for the better, and bad eating habits will go away along with the extra pounds when you feel the effect on yourself.

Detailed description of the “Favorite” diet

There are several diet options, but the most common is the seven-day diet. It is necessary to prepare the body for the diet in advance. Start in a couple of days: gradually reduce the number of servings, give up fatty, fried foods, eat less flour. Train yourself to drink water, eat fresh vegetables and fruits. Have you prepared your body? Then we begin to actively lose weight!

Diet “Favorite” drinking day

The first day of the diet, as well as the third and sixth days, are designed to consume large amounts of liquid. Moreover, you are allowed to drink not only water. These can be herbal infusions, milk and fermented milk products (kefir, natural yogurt), broths (brewed yourself), vegetable juices, green tea without sugar and plain water without gas.

It is prohibited to consume sweet carbonated drinks, industrial juices, and alcoholic beverages. You can salt meat broths, but only a little.

Pure water perfectly dissolves toxins and removes them from the body, so it should be preferred on drinking days. It is better to dilute natural juices with water, and choose low-calorie fermented milk products. On such diet days, it is better to limit physical activity and rest more, as dizziness and weakness are possible.

Diet “Favorite”: vegetable day

On the second day of the diet you will have to become a vegetarian. On the second day of the diet, you can eat various vegetables, and at one meal you need to eat about 300 g of food. Vegetables can be boiled, stewed, baked or eaten raw. You should definitely eat cabbage (preferably broccoli) and carrots. As a dressing, you can choose vegetable oil and lemon juice.

Diet “Favorite”: fruit 4th day

Let us immediately make a reservation that on this day you cannot prepare juices and compotes from fruits, but you can drink clean water without restrictions. It is recommended to eat no more than 3 kg of fruit. If you are interested in the “Favorite” diet, a sample menu for this day may include any type of fruit.

Diet “Favorite”: protein 5th day

Finally, you can eat a piece of meat, shrimp or fish. Today it is also acceptable to eat cottage cheese or egg whites, beans or peas. True, it is necessary to observe moderation. During the day, it is recommended to consume 5 servings of protein food, 150-200 g each. This is quite enough for the body to receive the necessary energy and regain strength. However, this is not the time to start full-fledged physical activity.

Diet “Favorite”: day 7

The transitional stage from a dietary diet to a nutritious diet. On this day, it is recommended to make a diet from those vegetables and fruits that were consumed on vegetable and fruit day. You can drink kefir, eat eggs, meat and fish.

Diet “Favorite”: hard version

This way of eating is suitable for absolutely healthy people. It is allowed to use such a system for weight loss no more than once every 4 months. Changing the sequence of days and recommended products is strictly prohibited. In this version of the “Favorite” diet, the menu for the week is as follows:

First and second day. You can drink kefir (1%) in any quantity. Buy dairy products only from trusted brands or prepare fermented milk products yourself.

The third day is an apple mono-diet. You need to eat about 2 kg of green apples per day (their calorie content is slightly less than the calorie content of “colored” varieties).

From the fourth to the sixth day we eat exclusively chicken. Boil the chicken with a little salt, after removing the skin. 700 g-1000 g of meat per day is allowed.

Seventh day. The unusual menu consists of dry red wine and hard cheese. Despite the fact that the amount of wine is not strictly regulated, you should not overuse this drink. Each glass of wine is eaten with a piece of cheese (40-50 g). It is important to note that this diet option is rather an exception to the rule, since in most cases, the “Favorite” diet and alcohol are incompatible. But if you consider that dry red wine has an excellent effect on metabolism and improves blood composition, drinking it in moderation will only be beneficial.

Possible complications after the diet

Experts say that after the “Favorite” diet, there is an imbalance of vitamins and microelements in the body. Metabolic dysfunction also occurs; if diet rules are not followed, exhaustion can develop. This can lead to dehydration and a serious health hazard.

To prevent this situation, experts prescribe drinking an additional balanced complex of vitamins during the diet.

The absorption of tablets and vitamin complexes by the human body is no more than 8-10%, at a time when the absorption of elements contained in natural vegetables and fruits is 30%. This is one of the main problems of mono-diets and limited nutrition.

It is important to understand! In any diet, the selection of products is unbalanced, so a strict 7-day diet without appropriate preparation can lead to digestive problems and even the development of stomach ulcers.

When eating a diet, the acidity level in the stomach increases and many enzymes accumulate. At the same time, there is a minimum amount of food in the stomach for digestion, which is why gastric juice begins to corrode the walls of the organ. During drinking and dairy days, excess lactic acid accumulates in the body if a deficiency of enzymes and malic acid predominates in the diet.

This state:

• provokes the development of dysbacteriosis;
• causes diarrhea;
• may cause burns to the gastric mucosa.

Despite the risks and disadvantages of the diet, women speak positively about it. It is important to observe restrictions in the consumption of carbohydrates and fats throughout the diet, and not to starve if there are health contraindications to this.

Diet “Favorite” 12 days

The nutrition option consists of 12 mono-diets, each of which lasts 1 day. If you follow the “Favorite” diet for 12 days, the menu is quite strict and not everyone can withstand this way of eating. But even absolutely healthy people are not recommended to use the weight loss option more than once a year.

You will like this diet option for 12 days, because the menu is interesting and quite tasty.

Day 1 – kefir. Drink about 2 liters of low-fat kefir per day.

Day 2 – fruity. The total amount of fruit does not exceed 2 kg per day. Preference should be given to grapefruits, avocados, and lemons.

Day 3 – curd day. The menu consists of 0.5 kg of medium-fat cottage cheese.

Day 4 – zucchini day. Prepare squash caviar in advance with the addition of onions, carrots and vegetable oil. On this day you can eat about 800 g of the product.

Day 5 – chocolate. A bar of dark chocolate is your diet for the whole day.

Day 6 – apple day. The number of green apples does not exceed 1.5 kg.

Day 7 – cheese day. Menu for the whole day - about 400 g of hard low-fat cheese.

Day 8 – tomato and vegetable day. 1 liter of tomato juice + cabbage-cucumber salad with herbs.

Day 11 – cottage cheese day. Eat up to 500 g of low-fat cottage cheese per day.

Day 12 is fruity. The menu for the second day is repeated.

In case of failure

The reasons for breaking the diet can be completely different:

• bad mood, depression;
• party, holiday, guests;
• travel, vacation;
• lack of support from loved ones.

In case of a breakdown, the main thing is not to dramatize the situation. Don't try to compensate for the calories you eat by fasting. Instead, follow these steps:

• make yourself a vegetable salad from cabbage, cucumbers, bell peppers;
• take a half-hour walk;
• continue the diet from where you left off: if you missed the kefir day, start there.

One step back is not a loss!

“Favorite” diet for 14 days

The method of nutrition involves dividing the diet into 4 three-day phases (12 days in total). And the last two days (13th and 14th) are considered transitional and allow the body to adjust to its usual diet.

The first phase is kefir. For three days, drink exclusively kefir of any fat content. The quantity of fermented milk drink is unlimited. You can also drink boiled purified water, but you will have to give up tea and coffee.

The second phase is apple. Any number of apples should be eaten over the next three days. They can be baked or juiced.

The third phase is protein. For three days (7, 8, 9) they eat boiled chicken meat. It can be boiled or grilled without the skin. Salt and spices are not used during cooking. It is recommended to eat no more than 1 kg of meat per day. Only clean water is allowed to drink.

The fourth phase is wine and cheese. Hard cheese, 40 g, is washed down with dry red wine (about 200 g). You need to regulate the amount of wine yourself. Additionally, you are allowed to drink clean water.

The last two days you can cook vegetable soups, vegetable stews, eat boiled meat and eggs. The diet is designed in such a way that the calorie content does not exceed 1300-1400 calories. You can calculate calories using a free online calculator or read useful ready-made recipes with calculated calories on our website.

How to exit the “Favorite” diet correctly?

Since the nutrition system is made up of various mono-diets, rapid weight gain is possible immediately after its completion. But this risk appears if you switch to a normal diet immediately. There are several important tips that will help you maintain the results achieved for a long time.

• Be sure to keep a diary of the foods you eat in order to constantly calculate your caloric intake, which should not exceed 1800 kcal per day. Stick to this diet for 10-14 days, while simultaneously increasing physical activity.

• Within 30 days after leaving the diet, you should not consume more than 100 g of protein per day.

• Replenish your food intake gradually after the diet.

• Use fasting days once a week. Focus on personal preferences. If you liked a particular day of the diet and did not cause any negative reaction, then you can practice it to maintain optimal weight.

Advantages and disadvantages

Judging by the numerous reviews of those who are losing weight and losing weight, the advantages of the Favorite multi-diet include:

1. Fast-acting - you don’t have to wait many days for the effect of the diet, it is visible immediately: excess weight disappears before your eyes, waist and hip volumes decrease.
2. Simplicity and accessibility - all dishes are easy to prepare, the ingredients for them are inexpensive.
3. Menu variety - those who have used mono-diets know how difficult it is to maintain a diet when the daily menu includes dishes from one single ingredient, and even more so if it is one of your least favorite ingredients. Here the products change every day, so it is relatively easy to tolerate such a diet.
4. By limiting the diet, the stomach gets used to small portions of food, its volume decreases, which will help in the future to maintain the achieved results.
5. The multi-diet promotes active cleansing of the body, resulting in improved skin and hair condition.

Like all weight loss programs, the Favorite diet is not without its drawbacks:

1. The body, constantly switching from one monoproduct to another, is subjected to quite significant stress, so you should not combine this strict multi-diet with heavy physical activity - on some days a person may experience weakness and apathy.
2. Since intestinal motility and the urinary system begin to work in an enhanced mode, the diet is best used during a period when long trips or constant absences from home or office are not expected.

“Favorite” diet: recipes

1. Vegetable stew. You will need 1 onion, carrot, bell pepper and tomato. Peel the skins of onions and carrots, and remove the seeds from peppers. Cut the onion into rings and simmer in a small amount of oil. Add grated carrots, tomatoes and chopped peppers. Add a couple of asparagus pods and chopped herbs. Cooking time is 25-30 minutes. The dish can be prepared without salt.

2. Carrot salad with garlic and butter. Peel 1 large carrot and grate it on a fine grater. Add grated clove of garlic and season with vegetable oil. No salt needed. Thanks to the juiciness of carrots and the presence of garlic, the salad has a piquant taste.

3. Boiled asparagus with soy sauce. Boil 150 g of asparagus for about 20 minutes without salt. When serving, sprinkle with chopped herbs and soy sauce.

4. Fruit salad. To prepare a dietary dish, take one kiwi, grapefruit and apple, cut them into pieces, mix. You can sprinkle with lemon juice or add zest.

Diet “Favorite”: reviews and results

The “Favorite” diet is very similar to the 6 petals diet, which also consists of mono-diets. In general, the “Favorite” diet is easy to tolerate, and special impressions are associated with the fact that if you follow the nutritional rules after the diet, the weight does not return and the results last for a long time. The results of the “Beloved” diet are impressive. Some people manage to lose 5 kg, although the average weight loss ranges from 8 kg to 10 kg. It’s easy to create a menu so that you can eat your favorite and tasty foods, which means that the name of the diet is completely true.

Reviews about the “Favorite” diet indicate that such a nutritional system really allows you to get rid of excess weight, although for some it is quite difficult to completely give up solid food on drinking days. You should not exclude meat broths, since they are the most nutritious and allow you not to break down. But on a fruit day, you should divide the menu for the day so that the breaks between meals do not exceed three hours. In addition to extra pounds, with this diet option you can get rid of 2% of fatty tissue, which is very important when losing weight.

The “Favorite” diet and sports are also incompatible if we are talking about serious stress. The diet is limited, and the body works to get rid of excess toxins as much as possible. It is not worth loading him with physical exercises. It is better to adhere to a calm daily routine, rest more, walk in the fresh air, and be less nervous. You should not go on a diet on days when serious results are required of you at work, when you need to be especially focused and attentive. It is best to leave pleasant weight loss for the holidays, when planning your day is much easier.

How to maintain results

To consolidate the results obtained, it is recommended to adhere to the diet of the last, seventh day. You need to hold out for at least a week. Then gradually increase the caloric content of foods, but in the first month it is better to completely give up baked goods and sweets.

The reviews include both satisfied ones and those who consider such a menu to be just a fasting menu that does not affect the overall weight

Nutritionists are skeptical about such strict diets. They note that sharply limiting calories to a minimum, using more than 1 fasting day per week and a menu poor in nutrients can be harmful. Yes, on this diet you can lose about 1 kg per day.

As you shed pounds, you simultaneously lose muscle mass and slow down your metabolism. And from this it follows that after returning to the previous diet, the kilograms lost in such a barbaric way will return. Therefore, it is more rational to switch to proper nutrition and try to speed up your metabolism through physical exercise.

Diet “Favorite”: reviews from doctors

Before starting a diet, it would be a good idea to get acquainted with the opinion of doctors on this matter. Any nutritionist will tell you that serious work on yourself does not last a week or two. The diet is gradually restructured, they learn to combine foods correctly and reduce the number of calories consumed. At the same time, the best results are achieved by those who manage to actively engage in sports and eat healthy foods.

The “Favorite” diet for weight loss has its pros and cons. If, for example, you are soon going to shine at an important event, then the weight loss system can be used to get rid of extra pounds. The results of losing weight will be obvious, but coping with the feeling of hunger is quite difficult. Among the benefits of the diet, it should be noted that extra pounds disappear quickly, and the body receives the necessary shake-up. But we should not forget that such a dietary restriction is a serious burden for the body. To avoid suffering from nutritional deficiencies, you should take vitamins.

By the way, a sharp restriction of nutrition “slows down” metabolism, since the body accumulates energy. In the future, it takes a lot of effort to force the metabolism to work with the same intensity. By and large, nutritionists advise using such diet options as rarely as possible so as not to harm the body.
