What associations do you have with the name of the Japanese diet? Maybe you like fresh rolls or seaweed salads spiced with aromatic additives? In fact, you will not find traditional Japanese dishes in the Japanese diet, but there are healthy and tasty foods whose right combination will help you gain 5-8 kilograms of weight in just 2 weeks.
The basic principle of the Japanese diet is to limit carbohydrates and fats, as well as nurture willpower and patience.
Detailed menu of Japanese diet for 14 days
For two weeks of dieting we need:
- good coffee (we will drink it a lot and often, so it is better that it was just very good, quality coffee beans);
- beef;
- chicken eggs;
- tomato juice or a few fresh tomatoes;
- White cabbage;
- vegetable oil (better if you use olive or flaxseed oil);
- any (your favorite) fruit;
- sea fish (trout, salmon, halibut, koho salmon);
- carrots;
- crackers, bread (rye);
- kefir (it is better not to choose low-fat kefir).
Day number 1
- In the morning we drink freshly brewed coffee (no sweets). Drink a glass of warm water before coffee to prepare your stomach for breakfast.
- For lunch we prepare a light cabbage salad with butter. Such a salad will help cleanse the body (pure fiber), and olive oil will allow the skin to stay young and beautiful (this is especially important during the diet). At lunch we drink a glass of tomato juice or eat one tomato.
- Dinner will be modest but satisfying. Take any fish, cook it or bake it in the oven without salt.
Day number 2
- For breakfast, we drink coffee without milk again and allow ourselves to eat it with a slice of bread (rye). Also, don't forget a glass of warm water before breakfast.
- During lunch we repeat the menu of our dinner yesterday - baked or cooked fish without salt.
- We cook beef in the evening. It is desirable to cook or stew meat without salt. We drink kefir for dinner.
Day number 3
- Traditional morning is accompanied by unsweetened coffee with biscuit or croutons. Remember that croutons and cookies are exactly one piece, not a whole kilogram!

- But for dinner, real happiness awaits us - fruit! True, your table today can be decorated with only 200 grams of apples, oranges or pears.
Day number 5
- If you are crazy bored of coffee for breakfast, today is your day! We serve it with grated raw carrot spiced with lemon juice (you can just squeeze the juice from half a lemon).
- For lunch we already have the usual boiled or roasted sea fish (about 400 grams) and a glass of tomato juice, which can be replaced with fresh tomatoes.

How easy is it to pass on the Japanese diet?
- It is important to adjust properly mentally. Try to negotiate with yourself - before you start a diet, do not suggest to yourself that you will now have to live in a regime of strict restrictions. Our body reacts unequivocally to such attitudes - it resolutely does not want to say goodbye to being overweight. Imagine participating in a fun game.
- Don't forget to drink plenty of clean and non-carbonated water, not only during the diet, but also after it. First, water creates a feeling of satiety. Secondly, it is simply necessary for normal metabolism, for the removal of toxins and toxins from the body. And third, during dietary restrictions, water saves our skin from dehydration.
- During the diet, completely avoid salt, sweets and alcohol.
- Try to get in and out of the Japanese diet smoothly. In the same way, after the diet, do not rush to your favorite sweets, fried chicken drumsticks, dumplings and other foods that harm your figure. Remember that harmony and restraint in food are essential for the harmony of the body.
- Pay attention to all the items on the Japanese diet menu. Just one product taken at the wrong time can completely ruin your efforts. Therefore, if you decide to go on a diet, follow all the rules.
Enjoy the new experience. And you will surely get harmony and prosperity as a reward.
2-3 weeks before the diet, gradually give up high-calorie foods, reduce the amount of food consumed.
