Detailed menu of the 14-day Japanese diet
During the two weeks of the diet, we need:

- any (your favorite) fruit;

- a carrot;
- crackers, bread (rye);
- kefir (it is better not to choose low-fat kefir).
Day 1
- In the morning we drink freshly brewed coffee (no sweets). Before drinking coffee, drink a cup of warm water to prepare your stomach for breakfast.
- For lunch we prepare a light cabbage salad with avocado. Such a salad will help purify the body (virgin fiber), and olive oil will help keep the skin 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 any fish, boil or bake in the oven without salt.

Is it easy to switch to the Japanese diet?
- It is important to correct yourself mentally. Try to come to terms with yourself - before starting the diet, don't suggest to yourself that you will now have to live on a severely restrictive regimen. Our body reacts to such attitudes decisively - it doesn't want to say goodbye to being overweight. Imagine that you are participating in a fun game.
- Do not forget to drink plenty of clean and still water, not only during the diet, but also after eating. 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, in the process of restricting food, water will help our skin not to lose water.
- Avoid salt, sweets and alcohol completely in your diet.
- Try to get in and out of the Japanese diet smoothly. Likewise, after dieting, do not eat sweets, fried chicken feet, dumplings and other foods that are harmful to your body. Remember that harmony and restraint in food are necessary for the harmony of the body.
- Observe all the items on the Japanese diet menu. Just one product used at the wrong time can wipe out your work completely. Therefore, if you decide to follow a diet, follow it according to all the rules.
Enjoy a new experience. And you will certainly get harmony and happiness as a reward.
Before implementing the diet 2-3 weeks, it is recommended to gradually give up high-calorie foods, reduce the amount of food consumed.
