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 in the human body, after which the extra pounds lost do not return for at least a few years.
Basic principles of the Japanese diet
The precondition for the use of the Japanese diet is the complete abandonment of all forms of alcohol, a ban on the use of salt and sugar, flour products and confectionery.
A specific diet plan for two weeks should be strictly followed: it is necessary to adhere to the menu offered all these days.
The authors of the diet believe that deviating 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.
An example of the first day according to the proposed Japanese diet menu:
- breakfast - coffee;
- dinner - a few eggs with a tomato or 200 g of tomato juice, fresh cabbage salad;
- dinner - fish, 200 g and cabbage salad.
Even this example shows that the diet is not ordinary Japanese cuisine. In Japan, carbohydrates are preferred mainly in the form of cereals, and they also eat a lot of seafood, vegetables and fruits. According to many doctors, this is the diet that gives the Japanese a longer life.
The 14-day menu in the Japanese diet focuses very little on carbohydrates, which are the main source of energy, which means that the body will begin to consume existing protein reserves in search of new ways to obtain food. in muscle tissue.
As a result, not adipose tissue, but muscle tissue is lost. The condition does not even change the increased protein intake, which additionally loads the kidneys.

Dietitian's comment
In the proposed diet, it is clear that the body lacks the leading trace elements required for full functioning - calcium, magnesium, potassium.
There is also iron deficiency, without which hematopoietic organs can not function. Vitamins A, B and C are also lacking. When there is not enough in the body, a person's appearance deteriorates, their effectiveness decreases, and the function of the endocrine glands and digestive organs is impaired.
The low calorie and monotony of the Japanese 14-day diet can lead to relapse and overeating. After the first week of using such a diet, sleep disturbances and decreased performance may be observed.
Black coffee is a controversial product in the Japanese diet. Japanese cuisine does not use coffee at all. People with cardiovascular disease should be careful not to drink coffee.
