The Japanese diet was created in one of the diet clinics in this country.
The authors of this system claim that it completely reconfigures the metabolism of the human body, after which the lost extra pounds do not return for at least a few years.
Basic principles of the Japanese diet
Prerequisite for the use of the Japanese diet is the complete rejection of all types of alcohol, a ban on the use of salt and sugar, flour and confectionery.
A certain diet plan, developed for two weeks, must be strictly followed: during all these days it is necessary to constantly follow the proposed menu.
The authors of the diet believe that deviating 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 every day.
Here is an example of the first day according to the proposed Japanese diet menu:
- breakfast - coffee;
- lunch - a few eggs with a tomato or 200 g of tomato juice, fresh cabbage salad;
- dinner - fish, 200 g and cabbage salad.
Even this example shows that diet is not the usual Japanese cuisine. In Japan, they prefer carbohydrates, mostly in the form of cereals, and also eat a lot of seafood, vegetables and fruits. According to many doctors, it is this diet that provides the Japanese with a longer life expectancy.
In the Japanese diet, the 14-day menu pays very 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 consume these protein reserves that are available. in muscle tissue.
As a result, not fat but muscle tissue is lost. The situation does not change even the increased protein intake, which further overloads the kidneys.

Nutritionist's comment
The proposed diet obviously lacks leading trace elements - calcium, magnesium, potassium, which are necessary for the body to function properly.
There is also a lack of iron, without which the hematopoietic organs cannot function. Vitamins A, B, C are also missing. If they are not enough in the body, a person's appearance deteriorates, his ability to work decreases, the work of the endocrine glands and digestive organs is disrupted.
The low caloric content and monotony of the Japanese 14-day diet can lead to relapse and overeating. After the first week of using such a diet, sleep disturbances and decreased productivity may be observed.
Black coffee, included in the Japanese diet, is a controversial product. Japanese cuisine does not use coffee at all. People who have cardiovascular disease should be careful to drink coffee.
