The Japanese diet was created in one of the nutrition clinics in the country.
The authors of this system claim that it completely reconfigures the metabolism of the human body, after which the extra pounds lost do not return for at least several years.
Basic principles of the Japanese diet
The prerequisite for using the Japanese diet is the complete rejection of all types of alcohol, the prohibition of the use of salt and sugar, flour products and sweets.
A specific diet plan, designed for two weeks, must be strictly followed: throughout the day it is necessary to follow the recommended menu on an ongoing basis.
Diet writers believe that deviations 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 daily.
Here is an example of the first day according to the Japanese diet menu recommendations:
- breakfast - coffee;
- lunch - a few eggs with one tomato or 200 g of tomato juice, fresh cabbage salad;
- dinner - fish, 200 g and cabbage salad.
It can be seen even from this example that the diet is not at all typical Japanese cuisine. In Japan, carbohydrates are preferred, especially in the form of grains, and they also eat a lot of seafood, vegetables and fruits. According to many doctors, it is this way of eating that gives Japanese people a longer life expectancy.
In the Japanese diet, the 14 -day menu pays little attention to carbohydrates, which are the main source of energy, which means that the body, in search of new ways to get food, will begin to use up available protein reserves. in muscle tissue.
As a result, not adipose tissue is lost, but muscle tissue. This condition does not change despite an increase in protein intake, which also burdens the kidneys.

Nutritionist comments
In the proposed diet, there is clearly a lack of key microelements - calcium, magnesium, potassium, which the body needs to function fully.
There is also iron deficiency, without which the hematopoietic organs cannot function. Vitamins A, B, C are also deficient. If not enough in the body, a person's appearance worsens, efficiency decreases, the work of endocrine glands and digestive organs is disrupted.
The low calorie and monotony of the 14 -day Japanese diet can lead to relapses and overeating. After the first week of using such a diet, sleep disturbances and decreased performance may be observed.
Black coffee included in the Japanese diet is a controversial product. Japanese cuisine does not use coffee at all. People with cardiovascular disease should be careful with drinking coffee.
