The eastern miracle of the 13-day Japanese diet is not called by chance.
That’s how much time it will take to get rid of at least five, or even eight kilograms of excess weight and fit into jeans or a dress one size smaller.
The 13-day meal plan is popular among the most stubborn girls who aim to get results quickly and at any cost.
General principles of the Japanese diet 13 days
Another name for this diet option is salt-free "Japanese". Indeed, salt restriction in this diet is one of the most important principles. Due to this, rapid weight loss is achieved, since excess fluid from the body is eliminated during the first day.
That is why the danger of the Japanese diet for 13 days is that the body is very dehydrated. This means that you will have to drink water in liters, not figuratively, but in the most literal sense. At least two liters of water is a necessity, due to which at the end of the scheme the hair will remain shiny and the skin is supple and pink. Water should be exclusively potable, without flavors, colorants, sugar and sweeteners. You can drink mineral water, but not the entire volume and only without gas.
The meaning of abundant water intake is not only to prevent dehydration, but also to not kill the kidneys. The emphasis in the diet is on protein food, and protein breakdown products must be removed from the body - including through the urinary system.
Nutritional restrictions are significant. Before deciding on a Japanese diet for 13 days, you need to weigh the pros and cons. Of course, you can stop the diet at any time, if only it will be good for the body? Any diet is stress, and improperly completed is doubly stress.
Among the basic principles of the Japanese diet, 13 days are as follows:
1. rejection of salt;
2. the complete exclusion of alcohol;
3. refusal of sugar;
4. the exclusion of food containing white flour.
For almost two weeks, you need to abandon the usual diet and do everything to switch the body to burning fat depots. It is believed that thanks to the "Japanese" fat will begin to leave from the sides, waist, hips, calves, face and neck. Metabolic processes will be rearranged, carbohydrate dependence will decrease, that is, carbohydrate metabolism will be restored, without which it is impossible to lose weight.
What is possible and what cannot be on the Japanese diet 13 days
The proposed nutritional scheme is a tough low-carb diet with a strong calorie restriction. It is believed that this is quite safe as a short-term nutritional adjustment, as proteins, a little fat and (in a limited amount) carbohydrates will enter the body. In addition, separate power provides high efficiency. It unloads the gastrointestinal tract, helps the body remove toxins and cleanse the intestines, and has a good effect on metabolic processes.
What you can eat on a Japanese diet:
• protein foods of animal origin, primarily fish and seafood;
• lean meat cooked without frying in oil;
• dairy and dairy products;
• eggs;
• vegetables on special days, and frying in vegetable oil is allowed;
• Vegetable oil for use in raw form is interchangeable. It is important that you can’t fry anything with linseed oil;
• On certain days, you can treat yourself to a rye cracker;
• From drinks both tea (any), and coffee are admissible.
Important: on the Japanese diet, you cannot replace the products indicated in the recipe with any other (with the exception of vegetable oils, which are used in limited quantities). However, if you can’t do anything without salt, you can slightly add salt to the food.
Eating more than three times a day is impossible. No snacks or liberties, otherwise the promised effect will not be obtained. It is especially important not to eat anything that contains hidden sugar. That’s why you can’t add purchased sauces or take alcohol to your food. In addition, alcohol contributes to the fact that the calories that enter the body are stored in fats. That is, the effectiveness of hard food restrictions is reduced.
You can not change the order of the menu: you need exactly that and in such a sequence, as the authors of the Japanese diet recommend 13 days. It is important to prepare for the start for at least three days: eat less, remove bread and sugar from the diet, make smaller portions (if possible, focus on 200 g).

Important details
At the exit from any diet, it is important to remember the main rule: how long the diet lasted, the period of exit from it should last the same. This means that for at least 13 days you will have to follow some rules in eating behavior:
• Do not immediately include all prohibited foods in the diet. The scheme is this: one day - one product;
• eat fractionally, that is, 5-6 times a day, in small portions of not more than 300 g;
• continue to drink water;
• do not eat sugar. Instead, you can have a little dried fruit or a slice of dark dark chocolate.
You can repeat the diet no earlier than six months later, so that the body forgot about stress. Otherwise, a metabolic disturbance may develop, and losing weight will become problematic. You can save the result for at least a year and a half, especially if you play sports or at least give yourself regular physical activity.
