What associations do you have with the name of the Japanese diet? Maybe you like fresh rolls or seaweed salads flavored with aromatic additives? In fact, in the Japanese diet you won't find traditional Japanese dishes, but there are healthy and tasty foods whose right combination will help you gain 5-8 kg of weight in just 2 weeks.
The basic principle of the Japanese diet is to limit carbohydrates and fats, as well as encourage willpower and patience.
Detailed menu of Japanese diet for 14 days
For two weeks of diet, we need:
- good coffee (we drink a lot and often, so it had better be just very good, high quality coffee beans);
- beef;
- chicken eggs;
- tomato juice or some fresh tomatoes;
- White cabbage;
- vegetable oil (best if you use olive oil or flaxseed oil);
- any (your) favorite fruits;
- sea fish (trout, friendly salmon, halibut, silver salmon);
- carrot;
- biscuits, bread (rye);
- kefir (better not to choose low-fat kefir).
day number 1
- In the morning we drink freshly brewed coffee (no sweets). Before breakfast, drink a glass of warm water to prepare your stomach for breakfast.
- For lunch we prepare a light cabbage salad with butter. This salad will help cleanse the body (pure fiber), and the oil will allow the skin to stay young and beautiful (this is especially important during a diet). At lunch, we drink a glass of tomato juice or eat a tomato.
- Dinner will be modest but satisfying. Take any fish, boil or bake without salt.
day number 2
- At breakfast, we again drink the coffee without milk and allow ourselves to eat it with a slice of bread (rye). Also, don't forget to have a glass of warm water before breakfast.
- At lunchtime, we repeat the menu for our dinner from yesterday – fish baked or boiled without salt.
- At night we cook meat. It is advisable to boil the meat or sauté it without salt. We wash our dinner with kefir.
day number 3
- A traditional morning is accompanied by unsweetened coffee with a biscuit or toasted bread. Remember that a crouton and cookies are exactly one piece, not a whole pound!

day number 5

Is it easy to transfer Japanese diet?
- It is important to adjust yourself psychologically correctly. Try to come to terms with yourself - before starting a diet, don't tell yourself that you will now have to live on a regimen of severe restrictions. Our bodies react to such attitudes unequivocally - it resolutely doesn't want to say goodbye to being overweight. Imagine you are playing a fun game.
- Don't forget to drink plenty of clean, still water, not only during your diet, but also afterward. First, the water creates a feeling of fullness. Second, it is simply necessary for normal metabolism, for the removal of toxins and toxins from the body. And thirdly, during dietary restrictions, water saves our skin from dehydration.
- Avoid salt, sweets and alcohol while dieting.
- Try to get in and out of the Japanese diet without any problems. Likewise, after a diet, don't rush into your favorite sweets, fried chicken legs, dumplings and other foods that are bad for your body. Remember that harmony and moderation in food is necessary for body harmony.
- Look at all Japanese diet menu items. Just a product taken at the wrong time can completely nullify your efforts. So if you decide to follow a diet, follow it according to all the rules.
Enjoy the new experience. And you will definitely receive harmony and well-being as a reward.
2-3 weeks before the diet, gradually give up on high-calorie foods, reduce the amount of food consumed.
