How to follow a fast diet?

The vacations and festive periods are favourable for fat accumulation because of the slackness recorded during these festive periods. So it’s perfectly normal to plan to lose a few kilos right afterwards. But how do you go about it? That’s the question!

On the one hand, there’s a diet that’s commonly referred to as “fast”. And on the other hand, there are products that are reputedly effective in significantly speeding up the weight loss process.

What are the times when it’s easiest to pile on the pounds?

Vacations, invitations to restaurants and celebrations are just some of the times when it’s easy to pile on extra pounds without realizing it.

And there are times in our lives when we’d love to go back in time to those days when we felt good and liked our weight so much. We’d love to go back in time just once, to avoid the big mistake of letting ourselves go without restraint. We regret the abuse, but…

It’s the rule for almost everyone: during the holidays, we stop thinking about calories and weight. We celebrate and worry about nothing. But the worries come later!

The dishes served are so tempting and the portions are larger than usual, much larger. The body is overfed.

It’s true that it’s always possible to be careful and hold back, at the risk of being frowned upon by your host. A dilemma!

Vacations, too, are a time to be careful about what you eat. Generally speaking, it’s a time for laziness, liberation and change. It’s a time when we try to forget all the worries of our daily lives: work, the subway, stress, the hierarchy…etc. As we seek to forget the conventional, we also forget to take care of our bodies and indulge in excess.

What is a fast diet and how do I follow it?

A crash diet is designed to help some people lose the weight they’ve accumulated over a short period of time. It enables rapid and significant weight loss without affecting muscle mass.

It involves a “brutal” reduction in calorie and energy intake. By reducing carbohydrates, it forces the body to draw on its own reserves. The principle is to play with your own body, giving it foods it doesn’t expect.

To successfully implement this diet, you need to opt for lean proteins and consume a daily quantity of between 150 and 200 g. Lean proteins include fish, shellfish, lean ham, skinless poultry, soya, dairy products, etc.

Secondly, eat as much as you like of vegetables and fruit rich in water, fiber, vitamins and minerals.

Lastly, add 100 g of starchy foods.

Physical activity in parallel with dieting is highly recommended: swimming, jogging, aquagym, etc.

Weight-loss products: the catalyst for rapid dieting

Other types of product have the virtue of acting as a catalyst, accelerating the weight-loss process significantly. These products are effective and can significantly accelerate the weight loss process. They can also save time and improve the final slimming result.

They are numerous, but they are not equal. That’s why you should opt for the big names, with their solid reputations and proven effectiveness. Slimming products include :

– Fat burners, which promote lipolysis and reduce fat storage. They are generally based on green tea, caffeine, conjugated linoleic acid, etc.

– Appetite suppressants, which prevent cravings and control satiety and appetite.

– Appetite moderators, whose action is to calm the sensation of hunger. In most cases, they are fiber-based.

– Drainers, which combat water retention and are based on plants such as orthosiphon, mate or chicory, etc.
