Detailed menu of the Japanese diet for 14 days
For two weeks of diet, we need:

How easy is it to transfer the Japanese diet?
- It is important to adjust yourself psychologically correctly. Try to come to an agreement with yourself - before you start a diet, don't tell yourself that you will now have to live on a severe restriction diet. Our body reacts unequivocally to such attitudes - it definitely does not want to say goodbye to being overweight. Imagine that you are participating in a fun game.
Enjoy the new experience. And you will certainly receive harmony and well-being as a reward.
- Remember to drink plenty of clean, still water not only during the diet, but also after it. First of all, water creates a feeling of fullness. Second, it is simply necessary for normal metabolism, for the elimination of toxins and toxins from the body. And third, during dietary restrictions, water protects our skin from dehydration.
- Completely avoid salt, sweets, and alcohol while on the diet.
- Try to get in and out of the Japanese diet smoothly. Likewise, after a diet, do not indulge in your favorite sweets, fried chicken thighs, 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.
2-3 weeks before the diet, gradually give up high-calorie foods, reduce the amount of food eaten.
- Observe all items on the Japanese diet menu. Just one product taken at the wrong time can completely wipe out your efforts. Therefore, if you decide to go on a diet, then follow it by all the rules.
