Fasting days on apples are a safe alternative to diets with great benefits. Unlike rigid diets, unloading lasts only a day and allows you to lose weight without significant loss of nutrients. Apples will help you get rid of all unnecessary things with benefit, as they are full of vitamins, fiber and minerals. In this way, you can "exit" from a long diet, regain lightness after overeating, or simply control your weight.
Fasting day rules on apples
Let's start with what are the advantages of apple unloading:
- It's delicious … Choose the variety of apples you like the most, and a fasting day will not be torture.
- This is useful … "Apple" vitamins (A, B, PP, C, E) and microelements (potassium, iron, sodium, magnesium, calcium) are perfectly absorbed by the body.
- It's easy … Fiber and pectin from apples gives a rather long-lasting feeling of satiety, well "cleanses" the intestines and normalizes digestion, removes excess fluid and weighs very little in terms of calories.
- It is economical … Apples are our “native” fruits, therefore they are available both in terms of purchase and in terms of price.
Most nutritionists agree that the most beneficial for losing weight are precisely the green, unsweetened varieties of apples. They also remind you that the maximum usefulness is contained in the peel of the fruit and immediately below it, so it is advisable to eat apples unpeeled.
Classic apple unloading is carried out only on fruits with addition of water or unsweetened tea. For a change, apples can be baked or combined with other weight loss leaders - kefir, cottage cheese, green tea, buckwheat or oatmeal. Of course, one such "cleaning" will not make you an inch. Therefore, the optimal scheme for losing weight on apples is 1 day a week for at least 3 months. On the day "H" try to unload not only the digestion, but also the whole body, arrange yourself a rest from any kind of stress.
Remember that such useful fruit acids can harm the sensitive gastric mucosa, therefore, in case of acute gastritis or peptic ulcer disease, it is not recommended to lose weight with apples.
Fasting day on kefir and apples
Kefir + apples is an amazing dietary harmony, which has many fans. For such a day, 1-2 liters of low-fat fresh kefir and up to 2 kg of apples are enough. At the same time, the water balance remains relevant - up to 2 liters. Hostages of sweets are allowed honey, but not more than 1-2 tsp.
Here are several options for kefir-apple unloading:
- 5 meals a day … Breakfast - 1 tbsp. kefir, lunch - 1 tbsp. kefir and a couple of apples, afternoon tea - 1 tbsp. kefir, 1 baked and 1 fresh apple, dinner - 1 tbsp. kefir and 1 apple, before bedtime - 1 tbsp. kefir. It is better to drink water (or tea) before meals, in 15-20 minutes.
- Meals "on demand" … For those who do not like to live according to the schedule, it is possible to "free" the use of kefir and apples (in the above limits) during the day. But there will still be one time limit - 150 ml of water (tea, herbal decoction) every hour, with the last intake 2 hours before bedtime.
- Separate food … To diversify the apple mini diet, alternate drinking kefir and eating fruit with each other. Leave the interval between them at 1 hour and do not mix.
- Kefir-apple cocktail … Cut 1 kg of fresh apples into slices convenient for eating and mix them with 2 liters of kefir. Divide the "dish" into 6-7 parts and eat it a day.
This option will perfectly "cleanse" the intestines and improve digestion.
Fasting day on cottage cheese and apples
Cottage cheese itself is considered a dietary product, if you do not take into account the fatty homemade varieties. At the same time, it is also extremely useful, since it provides the body with a lot of vitamins, minerals, proteins and safe fats. In fact, such an apple fasting day with cottage cheese "recharge" will allow you not only to become a little lighter in weight, but also cleanse the intestines, improve liver function and strengthen bones. And all this without feeling hungry.
The daily stock of products required for unloading: apples - 1 kg, low-fat cottage cheese - 3 packs, water - 2 liters. The water component of the diet can be replaced with tea (green, ginger), chicory, or herbal infusion / decoction. Recommended menu: breakfast, lunch and dinner - 1 pack of cottage cheese, apples - in no particular order as snacks.
The softness and safety of this option for a fasting day allows it to be prescribed to expectant mothers, whose weight gain is "off scale" (including due to edema).
Fasting day on buckwheat and apples
One-day "cleansing" of the body with buckwheat and apples is another way to put yourself in order without hunger. And not only in terms of weight - the tandem of useful substances of buckwheat and apples is capable of a lot:
- Replenish the reserves of trace elements and vitamins with interest;
- Start a normal bowel pattern;
- Restore and nourish hair, nails and skin;
- Increase immunity, including stressful situations;
- Strengthen the cardiovascular system.
Here is one of the most popular and effective options for unloading "buckwheat + apples": 250 g of porridge, 3 green apples (medium size), 1-1.5 liters of mineral water without gas (green tea) and 0.5 liters of 1% kefir (optional). You need to eat buckwheat in 4-5 receptions, while planning dinner no later than 19.00.
Buckwheat contains lysine, which creates optimal conditions for the absorption of calcium by the body. Therefore, fasting days and buckwheat diets are often combined with the intake of kefir. If you choose a menu with kefir, then divide it into 4-5 parts and wash down the porridge. Use apples as snacks.
Please note that you need to cook "cleansing" buckwheat as follows: pour 0, 25 kg of cereal 2 tbsp. boiling water and leave it to swell until morning, closing the container with a lid and wrapping it in a towel. And no salt, sugar, or seasoning.
Fasting day on water and apples
The classic fasting day on apples involves a menu of two items: apples and water (mineral, still). "Permitted" amount of apples per day - 1.5-2 kg, water - up to 2 liters; the number of meals is 5-6. In this case, the liquid component of the diet is best consumed before taking apples or between them. It is not recommended to drink apples.
You can adhere to a clear scheme of the fasting day, or you can lose weight in a "free" mode. In this case, the guideline for eating (apples) will be your feeling of hunger: if you want to eat - eat an apple, if you do not want an apple - it means that in fact you do not want to eat yet. Such unloading can be carried out on fresh fruits, or you can bake part of the daily norm and alternate with fresh ones.
When arranging such a fasting day, remember that apples have the ability to stimulate appetite.
Fasting day on oatmeal and apples
Oatmeal is a great way to make your apple fasting day even more beneficial and effective. This cereal enhances such "apple" effects as "adjustment" of digestion and liver function, removal of "heavy" cholesterol, "vitaminization" of the body and its saturation with useful minerals, prolonged feeling of satiety.
Oatmeal brings such "bonuses" as improved condition of hair and nails, "cleaning" of blood vessels, normalization of glucose levels and stimulation of the brain. Scots generally believe that their well-known strength of character and excellent health is the merit of oatmeal.
The fact that 100 g of oatmeal contains as much as 352 kcal should not scare you. It is these kilocalories that will give you a feeling of satiety. And already it will not allow you to eat too much in a fit of hunger. Immediately, we note that all of the listed advantages of oatmeal relate primarily to whole grains or cereals with minimal processing. That is, oatmeal is considered the most effective, the cooking time of which is 10-15 minutes. It is prepared without salt, sugar, oil, etc.
We present you a choice of several options for oat and apple unloading:
- Separate food … Divide into 5 meals 500-600 g of porridge and 5 medium-sized apples. The volume of the liquid is 1 liter.
- Oatmeal with apples … In this version, the amount of oatmeal and apples is the same, but the apples are grated and added to the finished porridge.
- Muesli … In the evening, take 100 g of cereal, sprinkle with a little cinnamon and dry for about 30 seconds in the microwave or oven. Pour milk or low fat kefir over them and add fresh apple puree. Adjust the thickness of the mixture to your liking. Place the workpiece in a cool place overnight. Divide into 5-6 servings in the morning. Adjust your daily fluid volume based on how much milk or kefir you used for your muesli.
- "Cold oatmeal" on kefir … In the evening, pour 1/3 of oatmeal into a 1 liter jar, fill it with low-fat kefir and add chopped or grated apples. We close the jar with a lid and send it to the refrigerator overnight. In the morning we divide the porridge into 5-6 parts and eat it in a day.
Fasting day on baked apples
Baked apples, despite the heat treatment, retain most of the nutrients. Plus, it is thanks to the high temperature that they lose the acidity inherent in fresh fruits. Therefore, they are a versatile option for losing weight. Even for people with stomach problems.
This method will appeal to those with a sweet tooth, since after baking the apples become sweet due to the breakdown of sucrose into simpler sugars, not even sweet varieties and without the addition of sugar or honey. By the way, the latter is acceptable, but in small quantities. They can be lightly greased with apple slices before or after baking (nutritionists recommend the latter option). For a more sophisticated taste, you can add the main "apple" seasoning - cinnamon.
There are several ways to bake apples:
- In whole or in parts … Divide the washed, unpeeled fruit into parts - in half, into quarters or into 6 parts. You can also carefully cut the core. It is better to choose varieties with a strong skin - Granny Smith, Antonovka, Macintosh, Ranet.
- In the microwave or oven … In the microwave, the baking process will be faster - 60-90 seconds. In the oven, about 10 minutes. The reference point is the peel of the fruit: if it starts to crack, the apples are ready.
For a full day of fasting on baked apples, you will need: 6-7 baked apples and 1.5-2 liters of water (green tea, chamomile decoction). Alternatively, the menu can be supplemented with low-fat kefir (for 1 apple - 1 cup of kefir) or cottage cheese (100 g per day).
Fasting day on green tea and apples
Green tea is an equally well-known and effective weight loss product. This drink dulls the feeling of hunger and at the same time saturates the body with minerals and vitamins. It perfectly tones up and speeds up the metabolism, including the breakdown of fats. "Drink of Emperors" cleanses and strengthens blood vessels, normalizes blood pressure and rejuvenates. Therefore, unloading "apples + green tea" has a double effect.
However, such a fasting day has its "buts":
- It should not be carried out if you have problems with the stomach and duodenum.
- It can aggravate rheumatism, arthritis, and serious cardiovascular disease.
- This option of unloading is undesirable for expectant and nursing mothers.
- People with high blood pressure need to be on the alert, as there may be pressure surges.
- You also need to take into account that a tonic drink drunk before bedtime can significantly delay the process of falling asleep.
Here are the basic rules for a fasting day on green tea and apples:
- Menu … During the day, you need to drink 4-6 cups of tea and eat 1.5 kg of apples in 4-6 receptions.
- Product selection … For tea, you can choose any kind of green drink, including with the addition of pieces of dried fruit or herbs. Mint and lemon balm are especially valuable additions. Although there is an opinion that the leaves of pure natural green tea are still the most effective. Apples can be chosen according to your taste, but green is better.
- The correct preparation of tea … For 1 cup of emperors' drink, you will need the same cup of hot purified water + 70-80 degrees (boiling water will make the tea not so useful and not so tasty) and? tsp tea leaves. Brewing should take place in 3 stages: I - the teapot is rinsed with hot water, the required amount of tea is poured into it and a third of the volume of water is poured; II - after a couple of minutes, water is added to half the volume; III - after 5 minutes the remaining amount of water is poured out. The same brew can be used up to 3-5 times.
Tea can be drunk hot or cold. If necessary, you can drink in parallel mineral or purified water.
Fasting day on apples and oranges
Much has been written about the value of oranges, including in terms of weight loss. This storehouse of vitamin C, pectin and organic acids not only strengthens the immune system, but also normalizes stool, has anti-cancer and vaso-strengthening effects. Like an apple, these citrus fruits relieve swelling well and activate metabolism towards weight loss. And the most important thing: apples and oranges are not only a healthy, but also a very tasty combination! Your "ration" for a day with such a vitamin discharge: 2 green apples, 3 oranges, 1-1, 5 liters of liquid. The calculation is made for medium-sized fruits. They can be eaten in 5 meals in different variations:
- Take turns … Alternate fruits when eating. For example, eat an orange for breakfast, an apple for lunch, an orange again for lunch, etc. before dinner.
- In tandem … Allocate half an apple and half an orange for each meal.
You can not adhere to any time frame and eat the required amount of fruit in no particular order. Or it can be in the form of a salad with yogurt, distributing its amount for 5-6 receptions. You need to make a salad in the following proportions: 1 orange, 1 apple, 2 tbsp. l. low-fat yogurt without additives.
