The Latvian dietis very suitable for people who want to lose weight without depriving themselves of delicious sandwiches, meat and other foods, because the variety that allows its menu is great. The only things you should not afford for 30 days are alcohol, sweets and high-fat mayonnaise. In addition to limiting these foods, you need to get used to taking small portions. This diet is specific in that you must adhere strictly to the frequency of meals. On certain days of the week, you should only take those products that are allowed to you, without any random changes. Otherwise, the expected results will be called into question. The diet prohibits the consumption of salt, but is one of the few that allow the use of skim mayonnaise, butter and olive oil. The daily amount of food is defined as that the human body receives the maximum amount of calories and necessary substances. The amount of fat, carbohydrates and proteins is exactly what the body needs to maintain a normal metabolism and to increase the resources that burn subcutaneous fat.
The order is repeated every week. On all days except Wednesday, have a cup of tea or coffee without sugar and a sandwich with butter, a piece of salami or cheese for breakfast. Lunch should be 5 hours after breakfast. At lunch, eat some fresh vegetables and 120 grams of cooked or roasted meat. Add a glass of fresh juice.
The Latvian diet allows you not only to have breakfast and lunch, but also to have dinner. Dinner should include a glass of kefir, a sandwich with sprats and 200 grams of vinaigrette.
This diet is not perfect - every Wednesday you have to change it drastically and consume the following dishes: for breakfast you have to be satisfied with only 1 apple, 50 grams of nuts and 3 tablespoons of skim cottage cheese. Have lunch 5 hours later with the same products. In the evening, three hours before bedtime, drink 200 grams of warm milk with honey (not more than 2 tablespoons).
Another condition for achieving good results is doing special exercises. Complex exercise can help you burn subcutaneous fat without increasing muscle mass, losing extra inches of waist, abdomen and thighs every day. It is enough to spend 20 minutes a day for exercise and after a month your relatives and acquaintances will not be able to recognize you.
Eat 3 times a day and at least 5 hours should have elapsed between meals. It is good to follow the diet strictly, from time to time, you can afford to eat whatever you want (during the holidays or if you are a guest), but then continue the regime. You can start the diet at any time of the week, it doesn't have to be Monday. If you start it on Thursday, for example, then your menu should correspond to that for Thursday, etc.
Rules to follow:
1. Buy a scale!
2. Get dressed every morning, at the same time, with the same clothes and without them! Control weighing - once a week.
3. Once every two weeks measure the volume of the neck, chest, abdomen, thighs!
4. Record the results to control yourself!
5. Eat exactly 3 times a day every 5 hours!
6. Intervals between meals should not be disturbed for more than 15 minutes.
7. Sleep for 8-9 hours! It is good to fall asleep at the same time.
8. Do not allow yourself any meals between main meals!
9. In addition to the coffee, juice, etc. indicated in the diet. (these are, approximately, 750 grams), you can drink 1.75 liters of water, and in summer and 2 liters per day.
10. During the first 2 months the menu is strictly defined and no deviations are allowed. After the second month there are small changes.
11. If you follow a diet in the winter, you may be colder than usual, which is normal.
12. Monitor your health!
13. Do not drink any alcohol!
14. If you have broken the diet, do not starve, but switch to the usual regime the next day. After a few days, the rate of weight loss will return to normal.
15. After losing the first 7-10 kg, it is possible for your weight to stay in one place, which could last 1-2 weeks. There is nothing scary or unusual about this, just follow the diet. As soon as your body adapts to the new weights, you will start losing weight again. Do not interrupt the diet under any circumstances!
16. To tighten the skin, 2 times a week, take a hot bath (40-45? C) with Dead Sea salts and pine extract (you can also use ordinary sea salt). Duration - 30 minutes (or bath with turpentine oil). Be sure to consult a doctor because hot tubs are not recommended for everyone.
17. If you are a former athlete and you want to improve your physical shape in parallel with losing weight, do exercise!
18. You can stop the regime when you decide that you do not need to lose more weight. This is a guarantee that you will not regain your weight again and you will not feel hungry.
