Diet "American Gorki"

In 1986, the book of an American psychologist Martin Katana about a diet, which was subsequently called "American Gorki" was published. The author claims that in just 21 days you can reset as much as 10 kg, but provided some physical exertion (easy run or measured walking). If you do not deal with sports - then the result will be about 6 kg. Until today, this diet adheres to many women who want to lose weight, but are not ready to eat monotonous food.

From the very name, you can already understand the essence of the diet: a person every few days (let's call them "group") should consume a different amount of calories. "Less - more - less," like riding on the hills - "down - up - down". Because of a kind of shock of the body attached to calories, and there is a sharp weight loss.

How many calories need to be consumed in each group of days:

Group number 1 (days from the first on the third inclusive) - 600;
Group number 2 (days from the fourth to the seventh inclusive) - 900;
Group number 3 (days from the eighth of the fourteenth inclusive) - 1200;
Group number 4 (days from the fifteenth to the seventeenth inclusive) - 600;
Group number 5 (days from the eighteenth to twenty first inclusive) - 900.

Upon the occurrence of a positive result (relief of weight) Then another 2 weeks it is necessary to receive no more than 1,200 kcal per day.

What is good this diet - there are no strict instructions on receiving certain products. The main thing is that the total daily calorie food does not go beyond the group framework. The only thing nutritionists advise, be sure to include fats in food, even to the detriment of the size of the soup. Without receipt of fats in the body of 600 or 900 kcal per day, it may be very heavy - strong dizziness, weakness, depression. Below we will give you an approximate menu for each group.
