How easy is it to switch to a Japanese diet?
- It is important to adjust yourself psychologically properly. Try to reach an agreement with yourself - before starting a diet, do not suggest to yourself that now you have to live in a regime of severe restrictions. Our body reacts to such an attitude firmly - it doesn’t want to say goodbye to being overweight. Imagine you take part in a fun game.
- Do not forget to drink plenty of clean and calm water, not only during the diet, but also afterwards. First, water creates a feeling of satiety. Second, it is only necessary for normal metabolism, for the removal of toxins and toxins from the body. And third, during food restrictions, water saves our skin from dehydration.
- Avoid salt, sweets, and alcohol altogether during the diet.
- Try to get in and out of the Japanese diet smoothly. In the same way, after a diet, don’t pounce on your favorite sweets, fried chicken legs, dumplings and other foods that are harmful to your figure. Remember that harmony and restraint in food are necessary for the harmony of the body.
- Observe all the items in the Japanese diet menu. Just one product taken at the wrong time can wipe out your efforts completely. So, if you decide to follow a diet, follow all the rules.
Enjoy a new experience. And you will definitely receive harmony and well -being as a reward.
2-3 weeks before the diet, gradually abandon high-calorie foods, reducing the amount of food consumed.
