Chocolate Diet

The chocolate diet is specific and ideally suited to the modern way of life of the people. This is a type of fasting that is not suitable for everyone, so you need to consult a doctor before you start to observe it. The duration is 7 days, and the first results are noticeable after the third - fourth day (weight loss by 3-4 kg). The loss of body fluids due to salt refusal must be taken into account here. After the end of the diet you will weigh 6-7 kilograms less.

This diet requires eating 100 grams of chocolate daily and nothing more. This amount can be consumed at once, but it is best to divide it into 3 intakes (or more) throughout the day. Each meal of chocolate should be combined with a cup of unsweetened coffee (possibly with skim milk). Coffee speeds up metabolism, which helps to lose weight .

The chocolate diet is better to follow using bitter natural pure chocolate (without additives such as raisins, etc.).

The use of salt, sugar and alcoholic beverages is not allowed. You should also refrain from juices (including natural), carbonated water and drinks that stimulate the appetite. Vegetables and fruits are also among the banned products.

Drink liquids (water, green tea) no earlier than 3 hours after eating chocolate and drinking coffee. The amount of water should be not less than 1.2 liters per day. If you manage to drink more - even better. You can repeat the diet at the earliest after a month (and preferably after more time), because it deals a significant blow to the body.

Menu for the classic chocolate diet:

• Breakfast - 30 g of natural chocolate (without nuts, raisins, etc.), a cup of unsweetened coffee;
• Lunch - 30 g of dark chocolate and a cup of coffee;
