How to properly spend a fasting day on apples

Excess weight has always been a cause for concern not only for women, but also for many men, but not everyone knows about its harm to the body. Problems with the heart, digestive and musculoskeletal systems are far from the only consequences of obesity. Therefore, even if you are not overweight, information about fasting days on apples will be very useful, especially since, according to reviews, the results of such “mini-diets” are quite impressive. Apples have a number of beneficial properties, so it is not surprising that they are used to cleanse the body. A fasting day with the use of these fruits is next in popularity to similar periods with buckwheat and kefir, from which it is worth starting such a practice, that is, if you are new to this matter.

Most often, it is recommended to include only 1.5-2 kg of apples and water in the daily menu, which can be consumed in any quantity. The fruits contain a huge amount of fiber , which gives you a feeling of fullness, which means that the unloading itself will pass without suffering for you.

Such unloading of the stomach should be carried out no more than once a week. It cannot be called the most suitable way for complete weight loss, but you can still lose a couple of extra pounds (this is especially true after several days of feasting).

You should also properly prepare for such a day. To do this, the night before you should take any medication that has a laxative effect.

Why apples?

Most often, buckwheat, kefir, cottage cheese and fresh fruit are used for one-day weight loss. These are products that contain a large amount of useful substances and allow you to lose excess weight without stressing the body.

Let us remind you that we recently talked about how to spend a fasting day on kefir.

Apples are chosen due to their pleasant taste, availability and undoubted benefits, and another kilogram of these fruits contains only 600 kcal and less than 5 grams of fat. That is why you can eat apples in unlimited quantities and during the “unloading” you will not feel the feeling of hunger, which so frightens those who want to lose weight.

Interesting!

Today there is not a single fruit whose composition would be as balanced and beneficial for humans as an apple.

Undeniable benefits

Apple fasting days are popular largely not because of getting rid of excess weight, although in just one such day you can lose about 1.5-2.5 kg, but primarily due to the possibility of recovery.

Contents in apples:

• vitamins C, PP and B;
• acids necessary for humans (primarily folic);
• gland;
• potassium;
• iodine;
• phosphorus and many others.

The fiber contained in these fruits deserves special attention. Gently combating disturbances in the gastrointestinal tract and, like a sponge, absorbing toxins and dissolved fecal stones, this component also creates a feeling of fullness for a long time. It is thanks to fiber that the condition of the skin and hair improves.

Note!

Using just one product throughout the day can dramatically reduce the number of calories you consume and the amount of food you eat, and if you combine products that have a similar effect on the body, the result will not only be effective, but also lasting.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of such a mini-diet are based primarily on the benefits of apples:

• These fruits are an excellent source of vitamins (C, E, B, PP) and microelements (iron, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, potassium).
• They are great for boosting immunity.
• The antioxidants they contain protect our lungs from the negative effects of the external environment.
• They act as a good regulator of intestinal microflora, ensuring its normal functioning and the absence of chronic constipation.
• Apples are very low in calories, but thanks to the fiber mentioned above, they fill you up very quickly.

Rules for unloading on apples

Having decided to lose weight and get healthier, it is not enough to simply buy apples and start eating them, giving up other foods. Firstly, a lot depends on the variety. The juicier the apples, the more kilograms you will be able to lose, but by eating sweeter varieties, you will be able to create a feeling of fullness for a long time.

Secondly, despite the permission to eat apples in any quantity, it would be unreasonable to exceed 1.5 kg per day. It is also advisable to turn a continuous meal into eating five times a day, or try to eat one fruit every two hours.

Thirdly, regardless of the chosen type of diet (only on apples or using other products), it is very important to drink at least 1.5 liters of water. It is worth paying attention to the process itself. Do not bite off large pieces and swallow them whole. Only thorough chewing will help deceive the body and create a feeling of fullness for a long time.

And the most important thing. Regardless of the variety of apples, the presence or absence of additional products on the menu and the purpose of unloading, you need to learn to enjoy the process.

Important!

Very often, fasting days are treated as punishment, and then, with a sense of accomplishment, they eat sweet or fatty foods in huge quantities, thus trying to reward the body for suffering, but in fact only making it worse.

Another rule that should be taken into account before unloading on apples is regularity. For healthy people, twice a month is enough; if such procedures are carried out for the purpose of healing, then (after the doctor’s recommendation) you can increase the frequency to once a week. If, wanting to lose weight as quickly as possible, you do such days more often, then, of course, you will be able to reduce the volume, but at what cost?

Note!

Fasting days on apples are recommended to be carried out in the second half of summer and autumn. Other seasons are not suitable for this due to the insufficient content of nutrients in fruits.

Which fruits to choose?

The issue of choosing apple fruits for fasting days must be approached seriously. First of all, you need to know your acidity.

For those who suffer from high acidity, it is preferable to choose sweet varieties, since there is a high likelihood of such an unpleasant symptom as heartburn. For people with negative acidity, it is recommended to consume sour fruits.

Sweet varieties include:

• Honey:
• Candy;
• Cypress;
• Lungwort;
• Bolotovsky;
• Golden ranet.

Sour varieties are represented by the following types:

• Antonovka;
• Borovinka;
• White filling;
• Grushovka.

What do the doctor's say

Even representatives of traditional medicine recognize the benefits of fasting days on apples, which, compared to other options for losing weight, is quite rare. However, judging by the reviews of doctors, it is recommended not to exceed the cleansing time and not to carry out the process for longer than 1.5 days.

It is also worth taking the advice to eat apples with the peel, since it is in it, unless, of course, the fruit has been chemically treated, that it contains the most benefits.

Important!

Apple peeling has no contraindications, but those at risk (children under 12 years of age, elderly people, pregnant and lactating women, as well as patients with diabetes) should be careful and carry out such procedures only after the recommendation of a doctor, as well as with constant monitoring from him. sides.

Of course, although a “one-time action” will help you lose a couple of kilos, it will not bring much benefit, and it will not provide a long-term effect. To achieve your goal, you need to follow a diet at least once a week for three months. You can enhance the effect with additional ingredients: kefir, green tea, buckwheat, oatmeal, cottage cheese and citrus fruits.

Popular options for fasting apple days

Kefir-apple unloading

The most popular combination among those losing weight is kefir and apples. The implementation is no different. You need to drink up to 2 liters of fermented milk product and eat up to 2 kg of apples, as well as maintain a water regime (at least 2 liters of liquid per day). The fasting day provides meals on demand. That is, you can eat the specified amount of food at any time (and if cleansing is being done for the first time, you can increase the amount of food allowed), but regardless of the frequency and number of snacks, you should drink 150 ml of liquid strictly once an hour. It is very important.

Unloading on cottage cheese and apples

If you do not take into account the natural cottage cheese sold in villages, this product is considered dietary, because provides the body with a large amount of vitamins and other useful substances. Such a one-day diet allows you not only to reduce volume in problem areas, but also to strengthen bones and restore liver cells. An undoubted advantage is the complete absence of hunger.

To carry out the procedure, you will need a kilogram of cottage cheese and apples, as well as about 2 liters of water. This method is especially recommended for those suffering from edema.

Cleansing with buckwheat and apples

• strengthen the body's defenses;
• increase resistance to stress;
• strengthen the heart and blood vessels, etc.

300 grams of buckwheat and only 3 apples are allowed per day, but this does not mean that those who opt for such a fasting will feel hungry.
