What is the Eastern diet for 10 days

There is still debate about the origin of the name of the diet.
It is believed that the reason for this name was the presence of dried fruits and rice in its diet. In addition, the diet menu as a whole is very similar to the diet of oriental women. Weight loss is achieved through the consumption of protein foods. It is lower in calories, so it helps in weight loss. This principle must be observed throughout the entire 10 days. Additionally, the diet requires five meals a day, and meals should be at the same time every day. During the day, they should be distributed so that an interval of 3 hours is observed between them. Among other features of the Eastern diet, it is worth noting the following:

inclusion of vegetables and fruits in the diet as a source of fiber;
daily consumption of at least 300 g of protein;
introduction of light physical activity, for example, light jogging or morning exercises;
maintaining a daily caloric intake of 1700 kcal;
eating in a relaxed atmosphere - not while watching TV, without talking.

Diet must be chosen with special attention

However, when choosing a speed diet for weight loss, you should be extremely careful. After all, a lot depends not only on limiting the amount of food, but also on its quality and intake regimen. Each diet has certain directions, thanks to which weight loss is achieved.

Some are aimed at increasing the impact of fruit acids, which actively burn excess fat deposits and cholesterol, while others are aimed at reducing the consumption of proteins and carbohydrates, which contribute to the increase and growth of muscle mass. The most effective and safest diets for health are considered to be those where the daily diet is balanced and the food intake regimen is correctly established.

Advantages and disadvantages

Any weight loss method has its pros and cons. The 10-day Eastern diet is easy to use and affordable in terms of the price of the products used. To prepare dishes from them, no special culinary skills are required. In addition to these advantages, several more advantages of the Eastern diet can be identified:

lack of hunger;
releasing the body from excess fluid;
lowering cholesterol levels, which are considered “bad”;
quick results;
minimum contraindications and side effects;
normalization of the digestive process;
maintaining muscle tone;
removal of toxins and waste.

The main disadvantages of the Eastern diet are strict dietary restrictions and a strict regime in which food is consumed according to a schedule at clearly defined hours. It is difficult for working people to adhere to such a scheme. For this reason, it is recommended to adhere to the Eastern diet during the holidays. The list of its disadvantages includes the following:

the presence of citrus fruits and other allergy-causing products on the menu;
weight return, sometimes even in greater quantities (if the exit is incorrect);
insufficient balance of the diet (does not contain the optimal amount of proteins, fats, carbohydrates).

Fluid intake while dieting

One of the significant factors that has a good effect on the body’s condition during weight loss is that the Eastern diet does not limit the amount of water. You can drink water as much as your body requires. You should only limit the amount of consumption of caffeine-containing, high-calorie drinks. Drinking a sufficient amount of water helps cleanse the body, helps active substances, for example, fiber, to fulfill their direct function - to remove toxins and waste.

Rules

A prerequisite for many weight loss methods is to reduce the calorie content of food consumed. This also applies to a ten-day oriental diet, but even if you limit your daily calorie intake to 1700 kcal, you won’t have to go hungry. Judging by the reviews, the eastern diet helps to get rid of 4 kg in a week. You can improve your results by taking a course of restorative massage and cosmetic procedures. In addition to following the diet, on the Eastern diet you must adhere to a number of rules:

completely eliminate desserts, salty, spicy, fried, fatty foods;
give up alcohol;
eat 5 times a day with breaks of 3 hours;
do not be distracted by extraneous matters while eating;
in between meals, drink 250 ml of regular or mineral water without gas;
eat no more than 150 g of black bread per day;
season salads only with olive oil;
include at least 300 g of protein products in the menu daily;
drink 1.5-2 liters of water every day, clean and without gas;
eat vegetables fresh (you can bake or stew them);
exclude salt;
maintain portions of meat of 100 g, porridge and salads - 200 g.

Additional recommendations

Products for the dietary table must be fresh, of high quality; if they are fermented milk products, then they should be purchased fresh daily. It is also advisable to have fresh meat, not frozen. Apples and cheese can be stored for a long time without losing their properties; there is no need to buy them every day. But in the case of grapefruit, you also need to take the trouble to go to the market several times, since grapefruit must be consumed within 1-2 days after purchase. If it sits for longer than expected, it will lose its beneficial properties and turn into water.

Authorized Products

You should consume up to 400-500 g of fruits or vegetables per day. This helps not only to reduce the amount of fat deposits, but also to lower cholesterol levels and compensate for the lack of useful microelements and vitamins in the body. Protein products in the eastern diet include low-fat cottage cheese, fish, hard cheese, and white poultry meat. Cleansing the digestive system of toxins is carried out through dried apricots and prunes.

There are no restrictions on water, but you need to drink at least 1.5-2 liters per day. The general list of foods allowed on the Eastern diet is shown in the table:

Effect on the body

Despite the severity, the eastern program does not provoke dramatic changes in the body . It does not provide for a categorical refusal of meat; there will be no shortage of fats. Muscle tone will be maintained, and only fat mass will decrease.

Another feature of the effect on the body is the acceleration of metabolism . Plant foods in combination with proteins will have a positive effect on metabolism. The process of removing harmful substances from the body will accelerate.

The most important health benefit is the saturation of vitamins and minerals. Herbs, fruits, vegetables will increase immunity and facilitate the process of losing weight.

Prohibited Products

Even in the category of permitted foods, there are those that cannot be consumed on an Eastern diet. Bananas and grapes are prohibited as fruits because their glycemic index and calorie content are high, for example, compared to apples. Other products listed in the table are also prohibited:

I buy fermented milk products with a high percentage of fat content. In 10 days I managed to lose 4 kg.”
“ Svetlana, 32 years old . The Eastern diet helped me lose 6 kg. In the first 3 days I was constantly hungry. I was constantly thinking about my next meal. From 4-5 days I began to get used to the new regime. I applied the diet in combination with the professor’s general recommendations. I’m very pleased with the result.”
“ Practicing gastroenterologist Andrey . The principles and recommendations of proper nutrition by Academician Uglov allow you to get a well-founded high result. With a short-term diet, monotonous nutrition does not harm health. However, for a longer regimen, the menu should be enriched with the amount of daily calories.”
“ Olga, 32 years old. I followed the diet with my husband. Since I am a housewife, there were no difficulties in following the regime and consuming specific products. My husband’s everyday work life provoked deviations in the regime, which affected the quality of the result.”

Opinions of those who have lost weight

The Eastern diet, according to reviews from those who have lost weight, has stunning results.

One group of women considers the Eastern method of losing weight to be one of the most effective. They couldn’t call it ideal, but it helped get rid of 6 kg of excess weight. The diet menu is somewhat monotonous, but thanks to the impressive results you can put up with it. Those who have lost weight noted that in order to maintain the results, it is necessary to exit the eastern method gradually.

The second group of women, due to a poor diet, were able to lose only 2 kg. This was due to the fact that they added some dishes themselves, which is absolutely forbidden to do. Therefore, girls consider the eastern method to be ineffective.

The Eastern diet, according to reviews and results, allows you to lose excess weight in a short period of time. If you follow it exactly, it is quite easy to achieve a positive result. It is important to include only permitted products in the menu, and completely avoid prohibited ones. If you strictly follow the rules of this weight loss technique, there will be no negative impact on the body.
