Water Thursdays
This is Thursday, when the body is saturated with water, air and energy. Anything else is unacceptable. This fasting should begin on Wednesday: instead of the last two meals, you should drink warm water, to which you can add a few drops of lemon juice.
Therefore, the last meal before fasting Thursday in the first stage (and yes, in the second) you should take on Wednesday at 14:00.
Please note the mode:
- From 14:00 to the moment of the first feeling of hunger, count 2-3 hours, so let's assume that at 17:00.
- From 17:00 to 00:00 - 7 hours;
- Throughout Thursday you also need to refuse food - another 24 hours;
- Friday, first meal at 12:00 – another 12 hours.
Therefore, Fast Thursday is not 36 hours of abstinence from food, as many websites indicate, but 43 hours, that's almost two days without 5 hours. Yes, you really correctly noted: you can start eating after abstinence only on Friday afternoon, and in the morning you can only have a glass of fresh tomato juice.
Galina Nikolaevna Grossman says that on Wednesday you should prepare emotionally. Immerse yourself in positive thoughts, be sure that such a day will pass easily and naturally, you will get rid of bad habits and negative communication. Here we can only agree: a positive attitude is the basis of success.
Advantages and disadvantages of the diet
The main advantages of the diet include:
- Its completeness. The menu includes balanced and healthy foods, so you don’t have to constantly feel hungry.
- Versatility.
- Anyone can lose weight using this system.
- The diet is aimed at normalizing blood pressure, fat burning, and removing waste and toxins. This is the secret to staying slim and maintaining it after stopping the diet.

The diet has no particular disadvantages.
The only thing is the need to eat strictly by the hour, which can be difficult for people with a non-standard work schedule.

Diet effectiveness
Since nutrition according to Galina Grossman’s method is quite rational and does not impose stress restrictions on the body, this system has no contraindications.
The duration of the diet is adjusted depending on the person’s needs and desired weight. Usually it is 1–1.5 months.
An important factor influencing the effectiveness of Galina Grossman’s diet is the “water” day. Usually it is held once a week: on Thursday, but it can be on any other day.
Then they drink only water, and in a larger volume than usual. The next day, breakfast should consist only of tomato juice. And from lunch you can return to your normal diet.
The stabilization phase, which consolidates the results of weight loss, is a kind of way out of a strict diet.
During this period, Galina Grossman allows you to periodically include fried foods, bread, up to half a bar of chocolate (or a similar weight portion of other sweets), and a wider selection of fruits and juices in your diet.
A “water” day can now be held once every 2-4 weeks.

Abdominal biolifting
Galina Grossmann is the author of the book “Biolifting of the abdomen”. This method is also aimed at strengthening and healing your entire body.
This method works using:
- 5 exercises;
- use of oils;
- fragrant bath;
- massage.
Most often, the entire program is a complex of various measures for losing weight, as evidenced by the content of the favorite book of nutritionists.
The organizer of the “Lose 99 Weight” project conducted the “Biomything of the Abdomen” training, and the results of the participants satisfied everyone! Since this program was paid, not everyone was able to participate. But, I present to you an equally working method.
Currently, you can get the Bummy Biolifting e-book, which contains all the information you need to lose weight. In it you will find a special set of exercises, instructions and recipes.
Basic nutrition
Basic human nutrition includes all basic food products and is designed in such a way that a person receives all the necessary building blocks for his own body.
This means that the body has all the necessary proteins, a complete set of amino acids, the entire set of vitamins in the food itself, all the minerals are needed, that is, all the building blocks for building the body during weight loss, so that the heart muscle is not damaged, so that the blood vessels are not damaged vessels so that the muscular, nervous and skeletal systems are not damaged.
When I study the diets that are compiled and tormented people all over the world, I get the impression that they simply want to punish people. It’s not even a person’s fault that he or she has gained weight; people don’t think about what to eat or what to put in their mouth.
Everything is simple here. A person by tradition, by family habits, he simply does not understand what he is doing - he just eats. And so, when a person switches to the basic diet that I created, the person simply begins to enjoy nutrition, he gets joy from the food that he has and eats.
My meals do not consist of any kind of menu, these are simply sets of products that are needed for breakfast, lunch, dinner and the 2nd dinner. Moreover, from these sets of products you can create recipes and cook the dishes you want.
Many of my weight-losing people, together with me, have almost created a book of such recipes, very interesting, and the nutrition turns out to be interesting and varied. In this case, a person loses from 8 to 14 kilograms of excess weight in 1 month.
Listen, just good and nutritious nutrition and no dietary supplements are needed. No need to add vitamins, no need to add minerals. It's just great.
Over the many years of my work, many people have already received this result. This nutrition not only helps to lose excess weight, but also normalizes processes in the body. Sometimes I just wonder what's going on.
I will only say one thing: nutrition for men and nutrition for women and pregnant women are slightly different.
Teenage boys also eat according to men's diet.

Relationship with water
Next we present the remaining two stages of Galina Grossman’s technique. They describe how much water to drink and some other nuances.
Here are two rules:
- You need to drink water whenever you want. This should be done between meals; no sweeteners should be added.
- Tea and coffee are allowed, but again, without milk, cream, honey, etc.
You definitely need to have a “water” day. Grossman recommends choosing Thursday, but you can choose any other. You must stop eating food for the whole day. The day before, skip the second dinner, and instead drink hot water, maybe with lemon, or “empty” tea.
Before the “water” day, do an enema to cleanse the intestines. During the day of fasting, you should drink only hot water.
The next day, immediately after getting up, drink a glass of tomato juice or sour milk for breakfast. Then proceed as usual. Galina Nikolaevna says that for healthy weight loss you need to adhere to the prescribed regimen for 4 to 6 weeks.
Products can and should be replaced, the main thing is that there are no “pests” in the diet and all the necessary vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other important substances are supplied. By following all the rules, you can lose from 8 to 15 kg per month.

Weight stabilization after a weight loss course
There are several stages in the weight loss course using Galina Grossman’s method:
- 4–6 weeks – weight loss course
- 4 weeks - weight stabilization course.
Further, if you are overweight, the entire cycle (several cycles) can be repeated.
When you reach a normal weight, nutrition is approximately at stabilization level. As a rule, you simply don’t want any other food, because... food habits have already been formed to eat properly.
A water day should still be held once a month. Galina Grossmann usually has a water day for her weight loss team on the 4th of every month. Then the weight can be maintained for a long time.
What is weight stabilization
The stabilization period after intensive weight loss is the time required to adapt all processes in the new body, to take a psychological break from food restrictions, and to consolidate correct eating habits.
Nutrition to stabilize body weight
What do you eat to stabilize body weight after a weight loss course according to Galina Grossmann’s method?
It is still important to eat according to the clock.
- First breakfast - a glass of orange or grapefruit juice (will help remove fat breakdown products from the body).
- Breakfast is approximately the same as during weight loss + sometimes you can allow 20 grams of sweets.
- Lunch - any soup, 200-300 grams of vegetable salad, 30 grams without yeast bread, for dessert - yogurt.
- First dinner - 100 grams of protein delicacies (cheese, red fish, caviar, nuts, cottage cheese, meat), 30 grams of bread, 100 grams of vegetables, 100 grams of fruit, a glass of tomato juice or 1% fermented milk drink.
- Second dinner - some prunes or other dried fruits.
Drink tea, coffee, hot water - as much as you want during the day. You can have some fruit during the day. 3 times a month you can afford almost everything, a sort of “celebration of the belly”.
Water day
A water day is carried out once a month, or once a week if you want to lose another 2-3 kg in a month of stabilization. A water day just eliminates our errors in nutrition.
Physical activity
Galina Grossmann does not recommend intense training in gyms for overweight people, but simply advises moving more, walking, dancing, etc.
