Diet for the New Year: how to lose up to 7 kg in 10 days

For women, their own appearance on New Year's Eve means much more than just beauty: it is the promise of a new young life filled with admirers! Therefore, before the New Year, the question of losing weight arises as urgently as on the eve of the beach season.

All women are different: some prepare for the holidays in advance and begin to get back to normal a month before the New Year, while others may come to their senses three days before the chimes strike and urgently choose an express method for themselves.

What is the key to success for the New Year?

We are not going to discover a new planet and advise you to lose weight using magic spells. Everything is simple and very banal: to lose weight, you need to eat right, exercise and change your lifestyle. At least for one month. Look for motivation: for example, imagine how chic you will look in a tight black dress and how many likes they will give you for a photo in it (dubious motivation, of course, but it really works).

For a month

Those who start losing weight a month before the New Year are the wisest. Such long-term diets promote slow weight loss, but without harm to health. Top 5 best among them:

Maggi egg
Potato
Lenten
Chemical
Alkaline

All of these diets will allow you to lose 5 to 10 kg. Normal indicators that will not affect your health in any way over such a long period of time. But what to do if you gain much more excess weight, and on New Year’s Day you want to be slimmer? We bring to your attention a unique, tough, but super-effective diet “Minus 25 kg”.

Type: protein, low carbohydrate. Duration: 1 month. Results: minus 25 kg. Difficulty: critically high.

The bottom line: protein products activate metabolism, the body does not receive carbohydrate “fuel” and begins to burn fat.

The main products are protein. The main rule of the diet is that you cannot change anything in the menu, since it was developed by specialists down to the smallest detail. So, if you have the willpower, you can try.

What nutrition principles should you follow?

It is important to understand that extreme fasting will not lead to anything other than a large-scale breakdown and eating everything that comes to hand in the refrigerator. Losing weight for the New Year will be much more effective if you follow a few simple rules.

Fractional meals. You should increase the number of meals and reduce the portion size; this technique will help the body not feel hungry, which means there will be fewer temptations to snack on something tasty and harmful. The best option would be to divide food into 5 meals. The latter should be no later than 2-3 hours before bedtime.
Refusal of fast food. This may seem like a daunting task at first, since it's often easier to grab a couple of hamburgers than to find a healthy restaurant. However, if you make preparations for the next day in advance and put food in containers, it turns out that it is not so difficult to eat healthy and healthy.
Replacement of sweets. If you have a sweet tooth, then a categorical refusal of sugar in your diet can work against you: at one point you will begin to sweep away all the sweets in the house. Therefore, the most rational solution would be to replace “harmful” sweets with “healthy” ones. For example, try chocolate with a high cocoa content, marshmallows, marmalade made with natural juices. If you didn’t particularly like sweets before losing weight, then eating fruits instead of desserts would be ideal; they will give you a boost of energy and the necessary fructose, and will also help curb your appetite.
Eating “bad things” before noon. Sometimes the opportunity to eat something forbidden allows us to gain moral satisfaction and continue the diet without breakdowns. Therefore, just give yourself 1-2 days a week when before 12 am you can eat something tasty, but not entirely healthy. The main thing is to limit yourself to portions.
Avoid overeating. Yes, indeed, many were raised on the idea that you need to eat everything that is put on your plate. But if you observe your own internal sensations, then very often the feeling of fullness comes much earlier than the food runs out on the plate. Try to focus not on the portion size, but on the feeling of satisfying your hunger.
A complete diet. When losing weight, it is very important to get enough nutrients and microelements so as not to get lost hair on your head in addition to the lost kilograms. Therefore, it is very important to monitor how much protein, fat and carbohydrates enter the body with food. Adding a multivitamin complex to your diet will also be effective.
Reducing your calorie intake. There is no need to cut down your diet extremely; it is enough to reduce it by 400-500 calories to lose 10 kg in 3 weeks by the New Year.

Advice! If you are traveling to an unfamiliar place and there is no way to take prepared food with you, study the menu of nearby restaurants along the way so that you know where you can eat food that suits you.

How to lose weight at home without gaining weight back

So, I hope I have convinced you of the uselessness and even some “harm” of training for quick weight loss, let’s move on to how to achieve results.

You may have noticed that I often mention water in the body. It's not just like that. This is the point of all weight loss. You know that a person is 70 percent water? So, if you lose weight thoroughly and over a long period of time, then you get rid of the “containers” that store “extra” water. This is weight loss that leads to lasting results (if you do not return to your previous lifestyle). And if you lose 2 or more kilograms in a week due to a strict diet, then this is a temporary effect obtained by removing excess water from the body. This result can only be obtained in the first week or two, while there is water in the body that it is ready to give up. With the cessation of the diet, almost all the achieved results will be lost.

Let me explain more clearly. When we lose weight for a long time, over several months, at the first stage we lose fluid, and then we begin to lose fat and muscle. Along with them, the peripheral systems that support them also disappear: the capillaries and blood vessels that fed the fat cells dissolve, and the blood volume decreases. The volume of muscle mass decreases, because the muscles no longer need to be strong as before in order to carry extra pounds every day. This is called real weight loss.

And if you decide to lose weight in a week, then you must understand that whatever result you get, it is not achieved by burning fat. You choose some strict diet with very few calories and stick to it for several days. At first, the body spends glycogen - chains of glucose stored in the liver and muscles.

By wasting glycogen, the body also loses a large amount of fluid, since glycogen has the property of retaining water in the muscles.

Less glycogen - less water - less weight

But, as soon as the week of the strict diet is over, glycogen reserves are restored and water returns along with them. The result is quickly lost because in a week you have not even reached the beginning of the fat burning process. This is short-term weight loss, which in general is not weight loss.

Therefore, if you want to lose weight, then you should set yourself up for at least a couple of months of working on yourself. Only in this case can you expect that the weight will not return (provided that you do not return to the previous lifestyle that made you fat).

Rules for playing sports when dieting for the New Year

In addition to paying attention to nutrition, exercise will be a prerequisite.

After the calories are reduced, it is necessary to get the body in order, and for this you will need to engage in physical activity. Since there will be nothing to replace the adipose tissue, the skin will begin to sag. Having physical activity is an opportunity to get your body in order quickly and without much effort.

When giving a load to the body, it is worth understanding that it should be such that the body can cope. You can keep your body in good shape by doing dancing and aerobics.

How to exercise correctly

When playing sports, you need to give not only a load on the heart, but also a strength load. Due to the load, a figure is formed. If you exercise at home, it is not necessary to use special dumbbells; you just need to pour water into bottles and exercise;
physical activity should be at least 40 minutes. If the load is less, then there is no point in working out. Only after this time does fat burning begin;
the load must be increased gradually. The body must get used to the new life;
After finishing physical activity, you should not eat for 2 hours. It is best to eat cottage cheese or boiled eggs after training.

After several workouts, it is necessary to increase the number of calories consumed.

When losing weight, the body requires special care. Therefore, it is important to know how to properly care for your body.

Which workouts should you choose?

1) sign up for a group training session aimed at losing weight;

2) study at home using video;

3) try newfangled EMS training.

Group training

In general, you can lose weight by attending any group training. Pilates, step aerobics, all kinds of dancing, shaping... But we need it to be as effective as possible? Weight loss workouts have names (this is just an example): Lover body, “Beautiful figure”, Body Sculpt, “Building a figure”. They combine aerobic and strength training and train the most problematic areas (abs, legs, buttocks). You need to attend classes 3-4 times a week.

Video lessons

EMS training

How does this happen? First, the trainer gives you a rubberized, tight-fitting T-shirt and shorts, then this suit is thoroughly wetted (for better electrical conductivity). Then you put on the next suit - already with transmitters. And the training begins! The trainer starts the current and shows you the most basic exercises (squats, jumps, lunges).

The best New Year's diets

First of all, we present to your attention New Year's diets, the direct purpose of which is to quickly and effectively lose weight before the New Year.

From Elena Malysheva

It is believed that this is the most effective diet that allows you to quickly and with minimal losses to your health lose weight by the New Year. She was talked about on the air of one of the programs of the famous presenter Elena Vasilyevna Malysheva, who is also a therapist, cardiologist, doctor of medical sciences and professor. Those nutrition systems that are recommended for weight loss by doctors, and even by such well-known ones, always inspire confidence - and for good reason.

Shortly before the New Year, Malysheva invited two nutritionists to the program and asked them how to get themselves in order for the holiday. In response, they proposed a protein-carbohydrate diet for 10 days, which received not only incredible popularity and hundreds of admiring reviews, but also the corresponding name - New Year's.

Type: protein-carbohydrate. Duration: 10 days. Results: minus 5 kg (as stated in the program, but in practice people lost a much larger number of kilograms). Difficulty: quite high.

The bottom line: the ten-day diet includes 5 carbohydrate days and 5 protein days, which alternate with each other. The daily calorie content drops to 800-1000 kcal.

Main products:

carbohydrate day: Brush salad
protein: eggs, chicken breast.

Rules:

immediately after waking up, drink a glass of clean water every day;
During the day you need to drink at least 2 liters of water in portions;
the egg must be hard-boiled;
chicken breast must be carefully prepared: peel and remove fat, boil in water without salt and spices;
Only lemon juice can be used as a salad dressing;
Sports activities are welcome;
you definitely need to get enough sleep.

Sample menu for 2 days (then they are repeated without changes 5 times):

The undeniable advantage of Elena Malysheva’s diet is that it really allows you to quickly and effectively lose weight, and much more than 5 kg. But beware: it also has its downsides. In particular, it is extremely difficult to withstand it for many reasons: the diet is monotonous, unbalanced, daily caloric intake is minimal, chicken without salt and spices will seem tasteless and tough, and “Brush” generally has a laxative effect. Add to all this decreased performance, lethargy and an irresistible feeling of hunger - and only after that decide whether you are ready to make such sacrifices for the sake of beauty on New Year's Eve.

"New Year's Beauty"

The author of the diet with such a romantic name is Mariyat Mukhina, who, like Malysheva, is a doctor by training, a reflexologist, and a Doctor of Medical Sciences. However, she is a nutritionist by specialization and has been helping people lose weight and get rid of obesity for many years. She believes that the New Year is an excellent incentive for weight loss, which is why she created such a specific nutrition system.

Type: balanced. Duration: 1 week. Results: minus 3-5 kg. Difficulty: medium.

The bottom line: all dishes must be prepared strictly according to Mukhina’s own recipes, and even the weight of the food for them must be measured exactly using a kitchen scale. The menu is varied, low-calorie, fairly balanced, but very unexpected (in the combination of some products).

Main products:

dried fruits;
vegetables, mushrooms, berries, fruits;
meat (any lean), liver;
low-fat cottage cheese, 1% kefir, 1.5% milk, Parmesan cheese, natural yogurt;
salmon, pink salmon, seafood;
granulated bran;
diet mayonnaise;
green tea, herbal infusions and decoctions.

Rules

Mukhina prescribed a clear schedule of meals by the hour, from which one cannot deviate:

from 7 to 9 - breakfast;
from 10 to 11 - lunch;
from 12 to 14 - lunch;
from 15 to 16 - afternoon tea;
from 17 to 18 (no later!) - dinner.

What other rules does Mukhina require you to follow:

You cannot eat both vegetables and fruits at one time - separate them;
between meals you need to drink as much plain water as possible; green tea and herbal infusions are allowed from drinks;
before going to bed, if you suffer from insurmountable hunger, it is recommended to drink a glass of kefir (fat content should not exceed 1%);
It is imperative to exercise these days;
lunch and afternoon snack are always the same: a handful (as much as can fit in your palm) of dried fruits and a glass of any herbal decoction;
dishes can be lightly seasoned;
1 serving = 200 g (for any meal).

If the diets from Elena Malysheva and Mariyat Mukhina do not suit you for some reason, you can choose a nutrition system for yourself depending on the timing.

Menu for New Year 14 days

The developed menu, as a way to quickly get rid of excess weight for the New Year, eliminates the question - will I lose 10 kg? The goal is achievable! In addition to burning fat deposits, there is a cleansing of toxins and waste.

The uniqueness of the diet is that you can create your own menu using the listed products. Recommended to use:

boiled chicken, beef;
low-fat fermented milk products;
fruits (kiwi, plums, apples);
cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, onions, eggplant, spinach, sorrel;
lean fish, seafood;
berries.

All food should be divided into several small portions. The number of meals per day is at least 5 times. Fish and meat are consumed only once a day. Vegetables and fruits in unlimited quantities. The daily calorie intake should not exceed 300 kcal. For the best effect, you need to combine dietary nutrition with sports.

What exactly should you not do?

Go on strict diets. What is the essence of all strict diets? There is little, very very little, much less than usual. This way you deprive your body of vital elements and vitamins. Simply put, you don’t have enough strength and energy to live, work, let alone prepare for the New Year.

Starve. Everything is the same, only worse. To live, a person needs to eat, such is nature. A fasting day once a month is one thing, but eating nothing at all is another. In the end, if you are going to lose weight just before the New Year, imagine: you ate almost nothing for a month, and then sat down at the festive table. Believe me, the body will not say “thank you” to you.

Take diet pills. Don't poison yourself, take care of your health. Perhaps they will indeed move the scales down, but is beauty worth such sacrifices?

Set unrealistic goals. As we have already said, you don’t need to dream of losing 10–15 kilograms in one month. It's difficult and harmful. Even a few kilograms is a small step forward. Plus, you may not need to lose more than 5 kg.
