DIET ON THE BASIS OF SALDEERIA
There is a generally accepted opinion: to quickly lose weight, you just need to close your mouth. Many tried this method on themselves. It helps, but not for long. Within a short period of time, the restriction in foods and the amount of food taken helps to lose up to 10 kg in 1-2 weeks. But as soon as they achieve the desired effect and allow themselves a little more, the body breaks down and begins to absorb everything that he does not offer. And all efforts come to naught.
Any woman is concerned today with just one thought: to eat this to lose weight?
Just 2 weeks of a celery diet, and visible results on the face: a mild weight loss of up to 8 kg.
And, in order to avoid boring the diet, it is necessary to periodically change part of the celery, which is the basis of the diet. The first week - the root of celery( 16 kcal), the second week - stems( 0 kcal).
1 variant
The basis of the diet is a celery soup. The variant of a diet is pleasant to that, except for soup, it is possible to eat any vegetables, meat of low-fat grades. Of cereals are included in the diet of Fig. All these products are eaten in small portions, but if the feeling of saturation does not appear, then celery soup can be eaten in unlimited quantities. And, there is it can be at any time of the day, which is very important for those whose working day is not standardized.
Preparation of soup
Celery( petiolate) - 1 bunch or
Celery root - 1 pc.
Onion( medium size) - 6 pcs.
Carrots( medium size) - 4 pcs.
Cabbage - 1 small head
Tomatoes - 3 pcs.
Pepper( green) - 2 pcs.
Garlic - 1 large head
Spices: curry, cumin, coriander - 1 tbsp.spoon
Greens: coriander, parsley, onion, dill - 1 bunch
Vegetable oil for frying. Cut the onion into rings and fry. Add the resulting mass of spices and finely chopped garlic. Stir all ingredients, cover and allow a little to extinguish. Cut the vegetables into small cubes.
And then you can improvise. We offer you two methods that are most often used, but anyone who is interested in the proposed diet, based on culinary skills and their cook preferences, can bring something of its own.
1 way
Add the vegetables to the onions and put out 10 minutes. The resulting vegetable mass is transferred to a saucepan. Greens chop, add to vegetables. Pour in a pan of water 2 cm above the level of vegetables. Add the soup to a boil, reduce the heat so that a weak boil is maintained. Keep in this state for another 10 minutes, then remove from heat and allow to stand under the lid.
2 way
Place the onion and vegetables in a saucepan with a volume of at least 4 liters. Pour into a saucepan 3 liters of water, put on a strong fire, bring to a boil. With strong boiling, keep the soup on the stove for 15 minutes. Turn off the stove, chop the greens and add to the soup. Do not remove from the stove, let the soup brew under the lid.
Day 1: During the day, along with soup, you can eat any fruit, except bananas. Drink a lot of liquids: water, tea or coffee without sugar.
Day 2: Today, instead of fruits, you can eat vegetables - in any quantity, in any form, in any combination. Do not forget to add a salad to vegetables. For lunch, cook your own baked potatoes. Do not forget to drink plenty of fluids during the day.
Day 3: Combine the soup with vegetables and plenty of water, as on the previous day, but only baked potatoes are contraindicated on this day.
Day 4: Any amount of soup today can be combined with fruits and fresh vegetables. Do not limit yourself to the amount of eaten fruits and vegetables. You can eat bananas, but do not get too carried away - only 2-3 pieces. Remember the liquid: 2 liters per day is your norm.
Day 5: On this day you can add lean meat to the soup. It is best to beef or chicken, but only with it you must remove the skin. Add to this also fresh tomatoes, and the day will not look as gloomy as it might seem. And most importantly, do not forget about the liquid.
Day 6: On this day you have to replace the tomatoes with root crops: fresh, boiled or stewed. The exception is from potatoes. All the rest is unchanged - soup of celery and liquid in unlimited quantities.
Day 7: On the finish line, it is allowed to add rice to the diet. With it you can cook soup with celery or boil it with vegetables. Water replace with fruit juices, preferably freshly squeezed. Well, if the composition of drinks will include celery juice.
To fix the effect, I recommend repeating the diet after 2-3 days.
The next cycle is best not to start earlier than in a month and a half, because a large number of vegetables and fruits can be a severe test for the stomach.
2 variant
Preparation of soup from celery, no matter how simple it is, it takes some free time.
This diet will also be to the liking of those who experience discomfort, if from its diet to exclude protein foods.
The basis of this diet is a salad of celery. Duration of the diet, as in the previous version - 2 weeks.
Preparation of salad
Celery( petiolate) - 3-4 pcs.
or
Celery root - 1 pc.
Apple - 1 large or 2 small
Olive oil - 1 tbsp.spoon
In equal parts, rub celery root( cut celery stalks finely) and apple. Fill with oil and mix thoroughly all the ingredients. If the taste of the salad during the diet starts to become boring, then you can add to it a leaf salad or canned olives, which I prefer to cut into large, usually divide them in half or 4 parts( if the olives are large).In the case when you add olives to the salad, you have to refuse or replace it with oil, for example, linen.
Breakfast: With a salad drink coffee or tea without sugar, eat a boiled egg and 1-2 slices of bread, better rye or cooked from wholemeal.
Lunch : Salad and fish of any variety, steamed or microwave without oil. To fish, cooked in a microwave oven, it was not dry, you can pour a little water and sprinkle with lemon on the bottom of the tank where the fish is cooked, so that it is not completely fresh and tasteless.
Dinner. Salad and low-fat cottage cheese or kefir.
During the day. At any time in any quantity, as soon as there is a need for food, they eat a salad. And be sure to drink 6-8 glasses of liquid.
"SLIMMING" RECIPES WITH THE CELERED
Any diet that you prefer will necessarily bring the desired result. It is only necessary to follow exactly all the instructions that the diet prescribes. However, as soon as the time for completing the cycle of dietary procedures ends, very often the indicators roll backwards.
After a diet, on the menu for each day should be included dishes or foods that, by their properties, have the ability to consolidate the "weight loss" result.
After the diet, add as much root and celery as possible to your food. The use of celery will not only prevent metabolic disorders, but also for many years will keep the result achieved during the diet.
At us the main component of all dishes is a potato. It is known that those who want to get rid of extra pounds should limit the use or completely exclude from the diet this product.
It turns out that celery in a stewed or boiled form is not inferior to such a potato, familiar from childhood.
Replace in the recipe for salads, soups and side dishes potatoes on the root of celery. To the taste of celery is not inferior to potatoes, but, unlike her, the more you eat celery, the sooner you lose excess weight. Try it, and the result will not be long in coming.
