Therefore, to lose weight with this method, half an hour before each meal, you should drink 1 glass of water. In this case, after eating you need to abstain from water for at least 120 minutes.

This is necessary so that the digestive process proceeds faster due to the release of gastric juice, and the liquid entering the stomach slows down this process. This will also reduce the feeling of heaviness in the digestive tract.

It is fundamentally important that the meal is not mixed with water,That is, after drinking water, there must be at least 20 minutes between meals. Also remember that drinking any other liquid, juice, tea or coffee is considered a full meal.

User manual

The water diet, which claims to help you lose up to 10 kg per month, isn't just about weight loss. In addition, its adherence helps slow down the aging process of the body, thereforeThis diet is recommended for people with "dry" body,which refers to age-related fluid deficiencies.

As you get older, the part of your brain responsible for feeling thirst begins to send and process signals more slowly, so you drink less water. For this reason, dehydration begins to develop in the body, which in turn causes weakness and dryness of organs and skin.

You can determine the need to carry out a water diet as follows: you need to look in the mirror and wherever there are no wrinkles, try to gather the skin into a fold. If the folds easily combine with each other and form wrinkles, we can conclude that the skin is dehydrated.

In addition, after the fold is released, the skin will slowly return to its previous shape and the mark will slowly remain. If the described results are achieved during the experiment, then you should adopt a water-rich diet to restore moisture in the body.

In addition, by following a water diet, you can get rid of excess weight. However, it is worth noting that losing small amounts of kilograms is much more difficult. So, if you gain 2-3 kg, it is better to choose another diet, and this diet and drinking water will help to lose 10 kg.
