The Joke "what to eat, how to lose weight" shows the bitter truth of the centuries-old struggle for a beautiful figure. This is a war, and it is all good. When such comparisons diet ABC can be compared with large-caliber weapons that get, when methods of the "smaller" did not help.

History of diet

ABC is an acronym that hides behind the "Ana Boot Camp", which in English translates as "Community of anorexic-recruits." The name was coined in the United States participating in Pro-Ana movement, consisting of girls and women with eating disorder. They created a special summer camp, where the leading nutritionists of the country have established food suffering from anorexia and help them form proper eating habits. So initially the ABS acted as a therapeutic program and not help to lose weight, but quite the contrary.

Subsequently, the ABS system was the revision of the diet was to serve to free people from excess weight. Today it is rightly called the "Queen of diets" because of the extremely tough rules and excellent results. Reviews about the ABS diet by doctors and fitness trainers mostly negative. However, its popularity is not reduced. Hundreds of thousands of people worldwide have drastically lost weight due to the "50 hungry days," and it cannot be ignored.

2. Individuals whose weight exceeds the normal 60-70 kg, i.e. with a body mass index of more than 55 units. Suffering from a higher degree of obesity, pre-consultation with the doctor, with a probability of 99% banned extreme starvation.

And Similarly with people whose weight is close to normal. To lose 5-6 kg, not necessary to torture yourself. There are other, more sparing diet.

• All opinions agree that the ABS can not be combined with classes at the gym, walking frequent climbing stairs. But yoga and Pilates help to tighten the muscles losing weight of the body.

Of Course, there are negative reviews about ABS. But, unfortunately, a universal diet suitable for everyone, does not exist.

Rules and principles of diet ABS

First of all, it should be noted that the Ana Boot Camp – it's not just a diet, a real test of willpower. Therefore, it is not “sit”, a “pass”. The human body is passed through the filter to get updated and thin.

The Main objective of the diet is increasing the speed of metabolism, puts it into stress. For this the body literally "cheat", handing calories 3-4 times less than the daily requirement, which does not allow him to withdraw into a starvation mode and, therefore, save resources.

The ABS Diet for 50 days divided into 5 parts, and 10 days, respectively. During this time, dieters must observe the following rules:

• During the day drink not less 2-2.5 liters of clean room temperature water. This amount does not include soups, coffee, tea, juices and jellies, as they are perceived by the body as food. Fluid intake should be evenly distributed over time.
• From the diet during the period diet need to exclude foods with preservatives and flavor additives, and the consumption of fat and sweet fruit to minimize. Drinking alcohol is not recommended.
• ABS is a preference for salads, vegetable soups, cereals and protein meals with low salt to avoid edema.
• It's necessary to Eat in 3-4 hours, breaking the daily dose into equal parts with mandatory Breakfast. In "the days of 100 Kcal" only eat Breakfast and lunch.

Weighing and measurement of problematic body areas (waist, hips, legs, chest, shoulders, etc.) mandatory and are held at least each decade.

The Preparatory phase

The ABS diet is not necessary “to jump in the deep end”. According to statistics, 50% refused extreme weight loss has done this in the first 5-7 days because they werenot ready for the feeling of constant hunger. Not to fill up the number of "refuseniks", nutritionists advise to prepare for ABS, reduced for 3-4 days before starting the diet portions of food several times. During this time the human body will get used to the feeling of light hunger.

In addition, we recommend that you create an environment around him that support process of weight loss. To do this:

• To get Rid of (give to others, but in any case not to eat) all are within reach of high-calorie foods hidden “rainy day" candy and chocolates.
• Buy and put in a prominent place a kitchen scale and install it on your computer or mobile device counting calories.
• To Develop a menu for the next 2-3 weeks with detailed recipes, including their calorific value and mass, broken down food to the reception. To obtain the corresponding "inspiration" is recommended to refer to the content of the blog, which publishes detailed reviews on the ABS diet.
• To Provide yourself in the coming weeks laborious and does not require physical effort task. It may become diamond mosaic, painting by numbers or a puzzle of great size, that is, that will distract from thinking about food and make you focus.

Таким образом, средняя калорийка диеты АБС составляет 250 Ккал в сутки. Это довольно пугающе. Особенно в те дни, когда данный показатель не должен превышать 100 единиц энергии. Однако не все так плохо. Существует множество продуктов, в которых калорий менее пары десятков в 100 г.

При составлении меню необходимо следить, чтобы в рацион входили все виды продуктов. Нельзя отказываться от молока в пользу овощей, а от сладостей в пользу курицы.

Сладкие продукты во время АБС

При недостатке глюкозы человек начинает испытывать нервозность, появляется слабость и "мушки" перед глазами. Так что сладости (самый лучший источник углеводов) в рационе необходимы. Худеющему на диете АБС можно употреблять следующие лакомства:

• Горький шоколад с содержанием какао не менее 80%. В 100 граммах содержится приблизительно 540 Ккал. Стандартная плитка весит 90 грамм, то есть в одном "кубике" 25-35 Ккал, и он может стать отличным началом дня.
• Ягодное или фруктовое варенье. На 100 грамм идет 250-300 Ккал в зависимости от вида. Но в чайной ложке умещается 7 грамм, а в столовой - 15 грамм варенья.
• Диетические сладости на фруктозе (питание для диабетиков). Изучив калорийность на 100 грамм, можно найти для себя подходящие мармелад или пастилу.

Калорийность меньше/равно 100. Продукты

При составлении меню для диеты АБС необходимо помнить, что термическая обработка безoil reduces the calorie content of foods at least 1/6. For example, 100 g of buckwheat after cooking is not 300 Calories and only 100. And this is typical for most cereals and grain products.

Recipes value of less than 100 Kcal a lot. It is therefore advisable to note the products used in their preparation.

Almost against each of the known products defined calorie, and know it can only be referring to the appropriate resource. As for the calories of vegetables, it is not more than 80 Kcal (except fried potatoes). That is why losing weight in the summer is much easier to pass through the diet ABS.

Calorie content less/equal to 50. Recipes

Foods with very low caloric content makes it easy to hold in the "hungry" days ABS. The emphasis will have to do on vegetables and fruits. Among the most common and simple dishes

The Daily rate of water during the ABS - 1.5-2 liters weight less than 80 lbs. With weight gain increases and the liquid volume (100 ml for every 5 kg). Any calorie water, including mineral, is absent, and therefore it can be consumed indefinitely.

In daily liters are not included such drinks as coffee, tea (black, green), juice, etc. These fluids of the human stomach are perceived as food. In addition, they contain a small percentage of caloric value.

• Coffee.

In a review of the results diet ABS 50 days often mention that the coffee helps to survive the most difficult first days. Indeed, even in the simplest of instant coffee contains caffeine, which speeds up (briefly) exchange of things and gives a false sense of fullness. Calorie 200 ml of boiled coffee without adding cream and sugar is 2 Kcal. If you add when cookingcloves and cinnamon will appear "dessert smell", but the number of calories will not change.

• Tea.

Energy value depends on the type. For example, useful when diet the ABS green tea 200 ml contains 2 Calories and black - 3 Kcal. The addition of milk increases the caloric value of the triple.

• Kvass.

One of the Champions among soft drinks. Only 24 Kcal per 200 ml.

• Red wine.

ABS involves abstinence from alcohol, but sometimes you can afford the 200 ml of wine. This drink contains only 67 Calories. But beer, with its 37 Kcal still need to stay away, as it displays the body of potassium and magnesium, and causes a feeling of hunger.

Body Care in the period ABS

Extreme starvation negatively affects the body condition and appearance. As a result of diet ABS often worsens the condition of hair, skin and nails, reduced immunity and resistance to daily stress. I've worked on all the time ABS is state of elation.

To minimize the effects recommend the following:

• Vitamins, multivitamin complexes, well-proven dietary Supplements. Mandatory vitamin C (ascorbic acid), E and A in oil solution, calcium and zinc (for hair) to normal for a healthy person dose. Source of fiber can be oat or wheat bran.
• Rejection of cosmetic procedures like «beauty shots» in favor of massage, face and body. The third and subsequent decades the ABS is a great reason to go to the beauty salon.
• The skin dramatically slimming the body does not SAG, you need to make wraps problem areas (stomach, thighs, arms, buttocks). Very effective treatments with honey, pepper, ground coffee and honey, blue clay. And hold them not only in salon but also at home.
• Hot bath with sea salts and essential oils at least 2-3 times a week. In addition to beneficial effects on the skin, such procedures help to relax and remove the stress.

In addition, losing weight it is very important to set yourself up for a positive result. You can do the selection of clothes for thinner body even just through catalogs, to develop a new image or to start planning a beach vacation.

Diet ABS

After the 50th day of fasting it is time to return to normal power mode. But this does not mean that on the 51st day alone to eat grilled chicken and a sponge cake. The body on the abrupt change of the diet will react inappropriately.

The Return of ABS takes place within 10-15 days, during which daily intake of calories is gradually increased by 100 units every day, until they become the norm - 1600-1800 a day. It is still impossible to include in the diet of junk food fried in oil, flavors, preservatives, etc.

Portions and the energy value will be more, but the quality and composition of the food should not deteriorate. This could be a transitional period to the system of proper nutrition, which is not a diet but a way of life.

Life after ABS. Ways to maintain the result

The Extra weight often returns with “friends”. Ana Boot Camp in this situation better is the fact that for 50 days develops a physical and psychological habit of self-restraint, and people rarely break in a multi-day binge. In fact, after receiving the results of reviews of diet ABS many people say that the stomach has decreased so much that at one time you can eat not more than 300 g of one dish, and then begins: "the Eyes would be all eaten, and not go".

To hold the result of diet, we recommend the following:

1. Within 20 days after leaving the diet ABS to move to a permanent regime of proper nutrition with the intake in the first 2-3 months of food dietary Supplements.

2. Strength training, fitness and long walks on a regular basis will help to strengthen the muscles and ensure preservation of the reached volumes. The same effect can be achieved through dance classes, swimming, Cycling or roller skating. The mass of options.

3. Counting calories always and everywhere. This method of checking food will help out on the daily rate, even if not to get proper nutrition on a regular basis.
