Belgium - the birthplace of not only delicious and high-calorie chocolate, but also an effective weight loss system for those who do not have time and desire for grueling training. Express diet allows you to lose up to seven - eight kilograms in just a week: what is not magic? True, magic has nothing to do with it: a secret in the consistent adherence to recommendations and a reasonable balance of limitations.
The basis of the diet is the famous Bonn soup: it consists of a couple of tomatoes, sweet peppers, bulbs, carrots, cabbage and greens. Vegetables should be washed, chopped, filled with water, brought to a boil and allowed to stand. In a hot dish, you need to add your favorite greens (give preference to celery, dill and basil), a little salt and dried condiments to taste. Such soup can be beaten into a gentle mousse blender, cooled and used as a light snack or main meal.
The Belgian vegetable diet also has a number of contraindications: from the menu it is necessary to exclude products that cause a decline in strength and contribute to the processes of fermentation in the stomach (sweets, pastries, white bread, carbonated liquids). Add soup garnishes, salads or stews with boiled or steamed non-starchy vegetables, fruits and juices, diluted with water. Nutritionists are sometimes advised to "dilute" the menu with baked potatoes, lean meats or a piece of fish.
Observe the drinking regime - in addition to pure water, it is necessary to include in the daily diet natural vegetable smoothies, fruit drinks and compotes of dried fruits or fresh fruits, herbal infusions, green tea. Unstable black coffee is occasionally permissible. Do not abuse the diet: the optimal regime - a week - one and a half "strict" nutrition.
