The Japanese diet was created in one of the diet clinics in this country.
The authors of this system claim that it completely reconfigures the metabolism of the human body, after which the lost extra pounds do not return for at least a couple of years.
Basic principles of the Japanese diet
A prerequisite for using the Japanese diet is the complete rejection of all types of alcohol, the ban on the use of salt and sugar, flour products and confectionery.
It is necessary to strictly follow a specific diet program, studied for two weeks: in all these days it is necessary to constantly follow the proposed menu.
The authors of the diet believe that a deviation from the diet can change the metabolism in an unnecessary direction. One of the conditions of the Japanese diet is to drink one and a half liters of plain water every day.
Here is an example of the first day according to the suggested Japanese diet menu:
- breakfast - coffee;
- lunch: a couple of eggs with a tomato or 200 g of tomato juice, fresh cabbage salad;
- dinner - fish, 200 g and coleslaw.
It can also be seen from this example that the diet is by no means the usual Japanese cuisine. In Japan, carbohydrates are preferred, mainly in the form of grains, and they also eat a lot of seafood, vegetables and fruits. According to many doctors, it is this way of eating that provides the Japanese with a longer life expectancy.
In the Japanese diet, the 14-day menu pays very little attention to carbohydrates, which are the main source of energy, which means that the body, in search of new ways to obtain food, will begin to consume those protein reserves available in the tissue. muscular.
As a result, not fat tissue is lost, but muscle tissue. The situation does not change either the increase in protein intake, which further overloads the kidneys.

The nutritionist's comment
In the proposed diet, there is clearly a lack of main microelements - calcium, magnesium, potassium, which are required by the body for full functioning.
Iron is also missing, without which the hematopoietic organs cannot function. Vitamins A, B, C. are also lacking. If they are not enough in the body, a person's appearance worsens, efficiency decreases, the work of the endocrine glands and digestive organs is disturbed.
The low calorie and monotony of the 14-day Japanese diet can lead to relapse and overeating. After the first week of using such a diet, sleep disturbances and decreased performance can be observed.
Black coffee included in the Japanese diet is a controversial product. Japanese cuisine does not use coffee at all. People who have cardiovascular disease should be careful about drinking coffee.
