By Degree: Wine Diet for Weight Loss

Losing weight is no stranger to - every diet begins with the words "exclude alcohol" and further down the list. It is generally accepted that it retains water, is high in calories, and also causes additional food. However, on this diet, wine is allowed, but only the correct one - dry red. Please note that the wine diet is a radical method of losing weight, it is designed for a short period of 5 days, and cannot become the basis of your diet. In addition, the presence of any chronic disease automatically precludes adherence to this diet. Of course, it is not suitable for those who are breastfeeding.

Basis of the diet

This diet assumes strict restrictions: sugar and salt, soda, juices, tea and coffee, canned food, smoked meats. Because these foods retain water.

All 5 days you will eat the same foods. You allocate three meals a day yourself, but the main thing is that dinner should be no later than 19.00.

Menu

Breakfast: tomato, one boiled chicken egg.

Snack: apple.

Lunch: 200 g of low-fat cottage cheese, one cucumber. If you are not a fan of cottage cheese, you can replace it with cheese, such as mozzarella. But then the diet must be lengthened by another 2 days.

Dinner: 200 g of dry red wine.

A strict wine diet cannot be practiced for more than 5-7 days, and it is allowed to repeat the course no earlier than two months later.

Expert commentary

Nutritionist Alena Yudina argues that diets in which the calorie content of the daily diet is less than 1200 calories should be run like fire. Therefore, we need so many calories to maintain basic metabolism and maintain the vital functions of vital organs. After all, calories are needed for breathing, the work of the heart muscle, etc. Yes, you will lose weight on such a rigid diet. But, if you do not radically reconsider your lifestyle, the weight will return very quickly. Better not to practice diets, but to try different nutrition systems. For example, intermittent fasting. Or the Mediterranean diet, which would be more correctly called the nutritional system. She is the fourth consecutive year recognized by American experts as the best.
