What associations do you have with the name of the Japanese diet? Maybe you like fresh muffins or seaweed salads dressed with aromatic additives? In fact, in the Japanese diet you will not find traditional Japanese dishes, but there are healthy and delicious foods, the right combination of which will help you gain 5-8 pounds in just 2 weeks.
The main principle of the Japanese diet is to limit carbohydrates and fats, as well as promote willpower and patience.
Detailed menu of the Japanese diet for 14 days
For two weeks of the diet we need:
- good coffee (we will drink it a lot and often, so it is better to just very good, high quality coffee beans);
- beef;
- chicken eggs;
- tomato juice or a few fresh tomatoes;
- White Cabbage;
- vegetable oil (better if you use olive oil or linseed oil);
- all kinds of (favorite) fruits;
- sea fish (trout, catfish, flounder, coho salmon);
- carrots;
- biscuits, bread (rye);
- kefir (it is better not to choose low-fat kefir).
Day number 1
- In the morning we drink freshly brewed coffee (without pastries). Drink a glass of warm water before coffee to prepare your stomach for breakfast.
- For lunch we prepare a light cabbage salad with butter. Such a salad will help cleanse the body (pure fiber), and olive oil will allow the skin to stay young and beautiful (this is especially important during the diet). At lunch we drink a glass of tomato juice or eat a tomato.
- Dinner will be modest but satisfying. Take each fish, boil it or bake it in the oven without salt.
Day number 2
- For breakfast we drink coffee without milk again and allow ourselves to eat it with a slice of bread (rye). Also, do not forget about a glass of warm water before breakfast.
- At lunch we repeat the menu from our dinner yesterday - baked or boiled fish without salt.
- In the evening we cook veal. It is recommended to cook the meat or stew it without salt. We drink our dinner with kefir.
Day number 3
- The traditional morning is accompanied by unsweetened coffee with biscuit or croutons. Remember that croutons and cookies are just one piece, not a whole kilo!

Day number 4
- After yesterday's feast, in the morning we get only hot coffee. No biscuits or rusks.

- But for dinner, real happiness awaits us - fruit! It is true that your table on this day can be decorated with only 200 grams of apples, oranges or pears.
Day number 5
- If you are bored of coffee for breakfast, today is your day! We have breakfast with grated raw carrots, seasoned with lemon juice (you can just squeeze the juice of half a lemon).
- For lunch we already have the usual boiled or roasted sea fish (about 400 grams) and a glass of tomato juice, which can also be replaced with fresh tomatoes.

How easy is it to switch to the Japanese diet?
- It is important to be psychologically correct. Try to agree with yourself - before you start a diet, do not suggest that you will now have to live in a regime of severe restrictions. Our body reacts to such attitudes unequivocally - it resolutely does not want to say goodbye to being overweight. Imagine that you are participating in a fun game.
- Remember to drink plenty of clean and non-carbonated water not only during the diet, but also after it. First, 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 third, during dietary restrictions, water saves our skin from dehydration.
- Avoid salt, jam and alcohol completely during the diet.
- Try to get in and out of the Japanese diet smoothly. In the same way, after a diet, do not rush to your favorite pastries, fried chicken legs, dumplings and other foods harmful to your figure. Remember that harmony and restraint in food are necessary for the harmony of the body.
- Follow all the menu items of the Japanese diet. Only one product taken at the wrong time can completely erase your efforts. Therefore, if you decide to follow a diet, follow it according to all the rules.
Enjoy the new experience. And you will definitely get harmony and well-being as a reward.
2-3 weeks before the diet gradually give up high-calorie foods, reduce the amount of food consumed.
