Flounder is a fatty fish. Lean fish suitable for a diet (list). Approximate diet for one day

Fish is a source of high quality, easily digestible animal protein with essential amino acids. In addition, fish (especially seafood) contains micro and macro elements necessary for health (phosphorus, iodine, iron, etc.), fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E), which are not sufficiently represented in other food products. In the menu of patients with pancreatitis, fish must be present at least once a week - to enrich the diet with protein and to add variety to a strict diet.

Fish selection

Not all fish are suitable for pancreatitis. When choosing a fish variety, the greatest attention is paid to fat content. The statement about the benefits of even very fatty fish (the main part of fish oil is represented by polyunsaturated fatty acids, which contribute to the normalization of fat metabolism and, as a result, reduce the level of unhealthy fats and cholesterol) will be correct only in relation to healthy people. Unfortunately, in pancreatitis, healthy fats overload the pancreas in the same way as unhealthy ones. This is due to the fact that for the breakdown of any fats, a pancreatic enzyme is required - lipase, the production of which is deliberately suppressed in the acute phases of the disease (in order to ensure the rest of the pancreas), and during remission, enzymatic insufficiency is often noted.

The use of fatty fish in the diet of patients against the background of an exacerbation is generally unacceptable, and during the period of remission it is extremely undesirable, since an excess of fat is almost always accompanied by the development of diarrhea (there is a liquid stool with a greasy sheen, which is given to it by undigested fats), abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and new exacerbation.

Low-fat types of fish, in turn, can be divided into lean (dietary) and moderate-fat. Skinny varieties are suitable for inclusion in the menu by the end of the first week from an exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis or an acute attack. During remission of chronic pancreatitis, with the normalization of the condition and the achievement of stable laboratory parameters, it is allowed to carefully and gradually introduce fish of the same moderately fatty varieties - it has a brighter and softer taste, more aromatic and softer than skinny ones. But the main share among fish dishes should still be occupied by low-fat varieties, the use of which, subject to the rules of preparation, does not carry any risks to the pancreas, but will only be useful.

Lean fish (fat content within 4%)

1. The lowest fat content (up to 1%) is observed in sea fish (cod, lemonema, navaga, haddock, blue whiting, pollock, pollock) and river perch.
2. Pike perch, pike, cupid, argentina, white-eye, whitefish, flounder, crucian carp, mullet, grenadier, lamprey, burbot, omul, roach, pristipoma, whitefish, soroga, grayling, shokuri have fat content from 1 to 2%.
3. From 2 to 4% fat is found in asp, rudd, ice fish, mackerel, merrow, sea bass, pagrus, white halibut, saber fish, carp, low-fat herring, trout, greenling and hake.

These indicators are approximate, since the fat content of the fish depends not only on the variety, but also on the age of the caught fish, the time of catch (before spawning in the autumn winter time fish has the highest fat content). But to be guided when choosing fish for diet food it should be for these varieties.

Fish of moderate fat varieties (fat content within 8%)

• anchovies;
• pink salmon;
• catfish;
• carp;
• chum;
• smelt;
• red-eyed;
• river and sea bream;
• oily fish;
• spring capelin;
• carp;
• herring;
• silverfish;
• snack;
• horse mackerel;
• cheese;
• tuna;
• sole;

Features of buying and cooking fish with pancreatitis

The most useful fish is fresh, but it is impossible to buy fresh sea fish in many regions of Russia. Therefore, you often have to buy fresh frozen fish, from which you should choose the highest quality, not frozen and not subjected to re-freezing (yellow bloom, a large amount of snow and ice on the fish carcass, an uneven layer of ice may indicate this).

Before preparing fish dishes, fish should be thoroughly cleaned and rinsed. In acute periods of illness, only fish fillets are used for nutrition, that is, the skin and bones should be removed. The menu can include chopped fillet dishes - dumplings, steamed cutlets, soufflés and casseroles.

During the period of remission, fish is already allowed, cooked in a whole piece (or carcass) - boiled, steamed, stewed, baked. Fried, smoked, salted and dried fish, canned fish are excluded from the diet.

Dishes from low-fat varieties of fish belong to the category of diet food. Such meat is rich in microelements and vitamins, is easy to digest and combines high energy value due to the content of healthy fats and low amount of calories at the same time.

The actual energy and fat content of the same fish species may vary and may depend on the timing of the catch, the origin of the fish and other factors.

After the spawning period, fish of moderately fatty varieties in calorie content approach low-fat ones.

Product selection

For cooking dietary meals use freshly caught or frozen fish. It is advisable to use live catch on the same day. The shelf life of chilled fish is no more than 9 days. Frozen fish can be stored for up to 1 year.

Fish that has been repeatedly thawed will be dry and tasteless. The content of nutrients in it will decrease significantly and there will be little benefit from such food.

Frozen fish is not completely thawed before cooking. That's right, if the chilled carcass is placed in salted water for 15 minutes. After the specified time, the fish is considered ready for further culinary processing.

The white pulp of salmon or trout can be brought to red with the help of food coloring, as in nature - it is better not to use such fish for dietary nutrition.

Types of heat treatment and cooking time

The type of heat treatment of fish meat is selected based on the requirements of a specific diet and the structure of the meat itself:

1. 1. Boiled fish.This is a classic way to prepare a dietary meal. During cooking, in the absence of contraindications, white roots, carrots, bay leaves are introduced into the broth, onion and greens. The amount of salt is minimal or not used at all. Excellent dietary fish is obtained in a slow cooker. Here it can be stewed with tomato, sour cream, milk or white sauce.
2. 2. Baked. In diets No. 5, 7 and 10 the fish undergoes a more complex culinary treatment - it is slightly boiled, then fried on both sides until a light golden crust appears and brought to full readiness in the oven. A tasty lean dish is also obtained from fish baked in foil or a sleeve along with vegetables.

Optimal cooking table for a specific fish type:

Dishes of dried, salted, smoked and dried fish are rarely used in dietary nutrition, since these products usually contain an increased amount of salt. The harm of such fish lies in the fact that if the technology of its manufacture is violated and the storage conditions are not observed, there is a high probability of infection with E. coli or helminths.

And a little about secrets ...

The story of one of our readers Inga Eremina:

My weight was especially depressing for me, at 41 I weighed like 3 sumo wrestlers combined, namely 92kg. How to completely remove excess weight? How to cope with hormonal changes and obesity? But nothing disfigures or makes a person younger like his figure.

But what can you do to lose weight? Laser liposuction surgery? Recognized - not less than 5 thousand dollars. Hardware procedures - LPG massage, cavitation, RF lifting, myostimulation? Slightly more affordable - the course costs from 80 thousand rubles with a consultant nutritionist. You can of course try to run on a treadmill, to the point of insanity.

And when to find all this time? And it's still very expensive. Especially now. Therefore, I chose a different way for myself ...

Is it possible to replace fish

Seafood is a storehouse of unique vitamins and minerals that are difficult to find an alternative to. Fish is often referred to as a meat substitute, especially for dieters. There are times when allergies arise to delicacies, then you have to think about an alternative.

On a diet, you can replace fish with plant foods. These include soybeans, tofu cheese and some types of legumes. For example, in terms of amino acid content, one serving of lentils is in no way inferior to the same amount of fish delicacy. On the negative side, plant-based amino acids are absorbed much worse.

You can replace fish on a diet with mushrooms and nuts. If you choose cashew nuts, then in addition to proteins and amino acids, the body will be enriched with phosphorus. When choosing nuts or mushrooms for a diet, remember that the daily portion should not exceed 50 g.

A great alternative to dietary fish delicacies - flax-seed... Besides fatty acids, they contain zinc, iron and calcium. Flax seeds can be crushed to the state of flour, used with kefir for breakfast or as an independent dish instead of porridge. You can replace fish with seaweed, from which nutritious diet salads are obtained.

• Efficiency:from 3 to 5 kg per week
• Timing:from 3 to 14 days
• Products cost:from 400 to 1000 rubles in a day

General rules

The positive influence of sea and river fish on the health and harmonious functioning of the human body has been known since time immemorial. Due to the variety of types of dietary fish, dishes from these inhabitants of the depths of the water have reliably taken one of the honorable positions in modern cooking and are rightfully included in the list of the most nutritious and healthy. Dietetics also paid attention to such a valuable product and created on its basis several really effective and relatively safe dietary regimens correcting excess weight.

Most practicing nutritionists classify the fish diet in two popular categories at once, namely and. By eating dietary varieties of fish, you can not only lose weight in the shortest possible time, but also quite productively your body from harmful deposits. Such results are achieved due to the composition of the fish meat itself, on the one hand, being an easily digestible protein food product that contributes to the growth muscle mass and burning fat cells, and on the other - an irreplaceable source of polyunsaturated acids that activate the cleansing capabilities of the liver.

The role of fish in human nutrition

From the variety of dishes existing in cooking, it is not so easy to choose what can replace fish in the diet of a health-conscious and practitioner proper nutrition... In the abundance of food that surrounds us, there are quite few products that simultaneously contain the totality of nutrients that fish is rich in. Iron , selenium , phosphorus , copper , zinc , calcium , magnesium , vitamins , and almost the entire group, many, here is a far from complete list of the composition of representatives of these aquatic vertebrates as a food product.

Fish meat is distinguished by easily digestible protein, which is digested by the human stomach by 98% in 2 hours, while the meat of everyone's favorite chicken or beef is processed only by 80-85% for 5 hours. It is for this reason that fish dishes should prevail in the diet of children and the elderly, since their bodies are still or already poorly coping with the assimilation of proteins from animal meat.

Regular intake of fish dishes in food is able to provide the body of an adult with all the essential B vitamins, vitamins D, E and A, as well as many useful minerals, necessary for its full life.

Abundance in fish b vitamins and potassium has a positive effect on the functioning of the nervous system and the digestive tract, on the processes hematopoiesis and cellular energy metabolism, serum sugar levels, system and heart function.

Of particular importance for the normal functioning of the human body is given to fish by its fat, which is abundant in polyunsaturated acids, including Omega-6 acid. These substances strengthen neural connections in the human brain, which has a beneficial effect on the stability of the nervous system and mental abilities, and also prevents the development of anxiety and conditions. In addition, such acids increase vascular elasticity, activate intercellular metabolism, restrain excessive blood coagulation and cleanse it of excess blood, thereby protecting a person from other cardiovascular pathologies.

How to choose fish in the store?

By far the highest quality product that has retained all its beneficial features and a beneficial effect on the human body will be live fish, contained in special aquariums, or fresh fish carcasses stored on ice, and only then - freshly frozen fish.

When choosing live fish, first of all pay attention to the aquarium itself in which it is kept. According to the existing storage standards, the container with water must be large enough (5 liters of water per 1 kg of fish) and filled with filtered, dechlorinated and cold (maximum 10 ° C) water saturated with oxygen. Then just observe the inhabitants of the aquarium for a few minutes. Healthy freshly caught fish will be agile, strong and stay at depth.

When purchasing already "asleep" fish, you must carefully and even meticulously examine its carcass. The color of the gills of fresh fish can only be bright red or, in some species, bright pink. The smell should not be harsh, fresh and should correspond to the fish habitat (river, sea, ocean, etc.). The scales of the carcass must be moist and slightly slimy, the skin must be intact (without bloody spots), and the eyes must be transparent and convex. The fins and tail should not be bent, dry, or stick together. When you press your finger on the carcass, its structure should be restored almost instantly.

When buying a frozen product, focus your attention not only on the fish carcass, but also on the ice crust covering it. The icing should cover the fish with a thin, solid and even layer and resemble glaze. The carcass itself must be uniform in color, firm and free from any foreign stains, build-ups or signs of softening.

How to preserve fish at home?

If there is no opportunity to buy fresh fish every day, you can, in principle, make a supply of it for the entire period of the diet, for which you should adhere to some rules for storing fish carcasses.

If you follow the diet for no more than 3 days, it is permissible to store fish carcasses in a regular refrigerator compartment. To do this, you first need to cleanse all the acquired fish from scales and carefully remove all entrails and films from it. After that, you should thoroughly wash the carcass inside and out and dry it with a highly absorbent cloth or paper. Then fish carcasses as a whole or cut into pieces should be placed in a food container of suitable size with a lid (you can cover it with foil) and put on a separate shelf of the refrigerator. In order to better preserve the product, you can treat it with freshly squeezed lemon juice.

If the duration of the chosen diet exceeds 3 days, then you will have to keep fresh fish in the freezer, in which it can be kept for from 3 months to six months. In this case, fish carcasses do not need to be cleaned of scales, however, it is imperative to remove all insides and films from them, thoroughly rinse and dry according to the above principle. Next, you should wrap whole or cut carcasses with cling film or place them in plastic bags and load into the freezer, having previously set the "super freeze" mode on it.

The advantage of freezing fish without scales is the protective properties of such a natural coating against meat fibers, which are much better preserved under the scales than without them. It should be remembered that it is necessary to store cleaned and unpeeled fish in different bags in order to avoid the possible spread of harmful ones from the scales to the fillets. You need to defrost fish carcasses naturally at room temperature, without using hot water or any other warming factor for this procedure.

What is the most dietary fish?

Before starting the process of losing weight, you should figure out what kind of fish you can eat with a diet, by what parameters to choose it and which one is best suited for dietary nutrition.

When choosing the main ingredient of a fish diet, first of all, you need to pay attention to its calorie content, which directly depends on the fat content of this product. For this reason, the basic parameter for the compliance of a fish variety with dietary nutrition is the minimum fat content in it.

There are three main categories of fat content in fish, namely:

• fatty fish or high-calorie fish (contains more than 8 g of fat per 100 g of product) - sturgeon and salmon species, mackerel, toothfish, saury, halibut, stellate sturgeon, eel, sardine, etc.;
• moderately fatty fish or medium-calorie (contains from 4 g to 8 g of fat per 100 g of product) - trout, silverfish, pike perch, catfish, tuna, carp, pink salmon, horse mackerel, catfish, bream, sea bass, etc.;
• lean fish or low-calorie fish (contains less than 4 g of fat per 100 g of product) - pike, grass carp, cod, crucian carp, flounder, snapper, navaga, mackerel, river perch, burbot, hake, greenling, pollock, hamsa, haddock, blue whiting, etc. ...

To optimize the dietary process and achieve the best weight loss result, you should compose your menu, mainly using the above list of low-fat varieties of fish for your diet, sometimes allowing yourself to cook some dishes from moderately fatty varieties of fish.

Can you eat salted fish on a diet?

Since adhering to a fish diet involves a significant reduction in salt in the diet, and ideally its complete elimination, eating salted fish such as ram or herring is highly discouraged. A large amount of salt in this product will inhibit the process of removing fluid from the body, which will negatively affect the weight loss itself and will most likely lead to the formation of subcutaneous ones. As a last resort, cook your own salted fish fillets using the minimum amount of salt and try to consume it in the morning.

Can you eat smoked fish on a diet?

Basic principles of the fish diet

The effectiveness of the fish diet itself is quite high, however, in order to optimize such a result of weight loss, it is necessary to get acquainted with the basic principles of this diet, namely:

• before initiating a fish diet, make sure that you have no contraindications to adherence to it, for which you should consult a dietitian;
• try to adhere to a fish dietary regime in winter, since it is during this period of the year that the human body does not receive the whole range of elements valuable for it (in particular), and eating fish can compensate for this deficiency;
• during the course of losing weight, strive to diversify your diet with different types of fish, however, to increase the effectiveness of the diet, choose less fatty fish varieties for this;
• when preparing and eating all the dishes recommended on this diet, give up appetite-stimulating spices / seasonings, hot sauces, sugar and salt (as a last resort, use the last ingredient to a minimum);
• predominantly choose cooking, baking or steaming as a method of preparing fish dishes;
• review your drinking regime and adjust it to consume 1.5-2 liters of filtered water in 24 hours;
• of all acceptable side dishes for fish dishes, give preference to the recommended dietary regime for fresh vegetables;
• be sure to follow the correct way out of the diet, so as not to reverse the process of losing weight;
• during and after the diet, exercise or at least practice long walks;
• the bonus of this weight loss program is the ability to consume a small glass of dry wine (white / red) per day.

Varieties of fish diet

In principle, all types of fish-based dietary meals can be safely classified as fast diets, since the maximum recommended period for their observance is limited to ten days (occasionally two weeks). To date, the four options described below are considered basic fish diet.

Fasting day on fish

A rather popular option for connoisseurs of fish dishes is a dietary unloading option that is observed for one day at intervals of 2-4 times a month. A fish fasting day includes several modifications (mono-mode and its lightweight variations), each of which, as a rule, lightens the body by 1-1.5 kilograms, as well as its harmful deposits in the form of various slag .

Fish diet for 3 days

The three-day version of the fish diet is a completely balanced nutritional regimen, including, in addition to the fish itself, additional products that support the body's functionality at a high level. Along with the fasting day, this diet is positioned not only as a way to lose weight, but also as a nutrition system. The average figure of the plumb line for three days of such a diet varies within 2-3 kilograms.

Fish diet for 7 days

The version of the fish diet for 7 days is quite satisfying, versatile and allows you to lose weight no less productively. Throughout the week of such a diet three times a day, you will have to eat mainly the recommended fish dishes, supplementing them with small portions of other permissible products, and also drink quite a lot (1.5-2 liters) of filtered water. Maintaining a seven-day diet on fish can provide a weight loss of 3-5 kilograms.

Fish diet for 10 days

The ten-day version of the fish diet is a modification of the 7-day dietary regimen and already implies 5 meals a day. The basis of the diet, as before, is made up of fish dishes. During meals, food and drink should be consumed according to a specific schedule, an example of which will be presented below. The diet of such a diet is more nutritious, but at the same time, in terms of effectiveness, it is somewhat inferior to its seven-day counterpart. For 10 days of a fish diet, you can lose the same 3-5 kilograms. If there is a desire to increase this result, it is allowed to extend the diet for another 4 days (in general - 2 weeks).

Fish diet menu (Food Routine)

Fasting day on fish

As mentioned above, there are several modifications of fish fasting day, which differ among themselves by the possibility of adding secondary food products to fish.

Option one

In this case, the 24-hour unloading provides for the consumption of only 600 grams of the recommended fish, cooked by boiling or steaming, during the day. The entire amount of ready-made fish should be distributed in equal parts between six meals and consumed throughout the day, pre-drinking 200 ml of filtered water 30 minutes before each meal. The total amount of water drunk per day should vary within 2 liters. It is better not to use salt when cooking fish.

Option two

This type of unloading is based on the use of the same fish during the day, cooked in the same ways as described above, which must be alternated with the intake of some drinks. Steamed / boiled fish in the amount of 400 grams should be eaten in 5-6 meals, in the intervals between which (30 minutes before and 60 minutes after the meal) it is necessary to drink herbal / green tea, rosehip broth and / or freshly squeezed vegetable juices in the total amount of 750 -1000 ml. In addition to these drinks, you need to drink about 1 liter of filtered water per day.

Option three

Another option for unloading fish, which is the most satisfying and complete in terms of a nutritious diet. The menu of such a fasting day consists of 400 grams of steamed / boiled low-fat fish, cooked without the use of salt, and 500 grams of raw vegetables (any cabbage, cucumbers, bell peppers, carrots) in the form of a salad seasoned with freshly squeezed lemon juice. All this food should be eaten in four meals, not forgetting to drink filtered water (at least 1.5 liters) between meals. In addition to this, it is allowed to use homemade fruit juices.

Fish diet for 3 days

The menu of the three-day fish cleansing diet is based on the principle of combining the main dietary ingredient (fish dishes) with other food products, which allows you to test the effectiveness of this diet in relation to a particular human body. In the case of high results of weight loss in 3 days, you can continue to practice weight loss on fish in the future, observing already longer varieties of such a diet.

Own daily menu can be composed using the table below.

Fish diet for 7 days

The diet of the seven-day version of the fish diet is more versatile and can be formed from any recommended food. The one-day menu includes 3 full meals and one optional snack between lunch and dinner.

The menu for one day of this type of fish diet should be composed in this way.

During an optional snack, you can eat a small amount of fruits from the list of acceptable for the diet. The drinking mode is similar to the previous one.

Fish diet for 10 days

The diet of this diet basically repeats the previous one, both in terms of the variety of foods and in terms of serving size. Purified water and food should be taken already 5 times a day, adhering to a strictly prescribed time schedule and trying to diversify the menu as widely as possible with different types of fish and various additional dishes.

The one-day menu for the 10-day fish diet looks something like this:

First breakfast	400-500 ml of filtered water (07:30); hard-boiled / soft-boiled egg and 200 ml of low-fat kefir / fermented baked milk (08:00); medium orange or half a grapefruit (08:20).
Lunch	250 ml of filtered water (10:00); 200 g of boiled / stewed fish and 150 g of leafy vegetables (10:30).
Dinner	400-500 ml of filtered water (12:00); 250 g baked / boiled fish (12:30); 200 g raw vegetable salad drizzled with lemon juice (12:50).
Afternoon snack	250 ml of filtered water (15:30); 500 ml of classic (no additives) yogurt or 150 g of low-fat cottage cheese (16:00).
Dinner	400-500 ml of filtered water (17:30); 250g baked / boiled fish or acceptable seafood (6:00 pm); 200 g fresh / stewed vegetables (18:20).

Before preparing any fish dish, it is necessary to determine its suitability for dietary nutrition, first of all, based on the parameters of the calorie content of this product and the fat content in it, as well as taking into account the peculiarities of storage and primary processing of fish carcasses or their parts (salting, smoking, etc. etc.).

As noted earlier, it is smoked fish (mackerel, herring, etc.) that can cause the greatest harm to the human body, in which, in the manufacturing process, many are formed, in the opinion of most doctors, which are the root cause of the onset of diseases.

A separate subject of discussion is the possibility of using salted fish products in the diet. Some nutritionists allow, during the process of losing weight, the use of a small amount of slightly salted, home-cooked fish (salmon, pink salmon), but even they strongly discourage the introduction of factory-salted herring into the dietary menu. When wondering if it is possible to eat herring on a diet without salt, you should pay attention to the fat content of different types of this fish. For example, freshly caught Caspian herring per 100 g of its meat contains only 2 g of fat (Pacific herring - 14 g of fat) and in this form is quite suitable for preparing diet meals. But many beloved salty "herring under a fur coat" will certainly be superfluous in the menu of a losing weight person.

If you follow a diet, it is undesirable to add to your diet some varieties of ocean / sea fish (tuna, eel, mackerel, sea bass, etc.), which accumulate a large amount in itself, and in particular - mercury. Also, you should not cook dishes from carp and pangasius, since hallmark of these genera of fish is the ability to accumulate in their meat harmful substancescontained in fresh water. For the same reason, during the diet, it is recommended to limit dietary dishes from cod and salmon grown in the wild, which, despite their popularity, are often contaminated with various heavy metals.

When choosing fish for a diet, be sure to take an interest in its habitat and try to purchase only fish grown on special farms or in private reservoirs under the control of the composition of water and food. Such a product will be devoid of the above-described disadvantages and can be safely used for preparing both everyday and dietary meals.

It is best to choose low-fat varieties of fish for a diet and prepare recipes for dietary dishes from pollock, hake, blue whiting, navaga and other similar representatives of the underwater fauna, however, for preparing first courses (ear, fish soup), it is permissible to use medium-fat fish (pink salmon, pike perch, trout, etc.). Various vegetables from the list of permitted vegetables, as well as brown rice, are perfect as a side dish for the first fish dishes. Steamed fish or regular boiled fish are considered ideal for weight loss. If you do not like food concocted in such ways, there will be nothing better than cooking diet fish in the oven or grilling it, having previously marinated it with lemon juice or soy sauce.

An absolutely opposite situation with regard to the effectiveness of weight loss and the safety of a fish diet can be traced among fans of fish and seafood, for whom this diet has become the only correct and completely harmless. Depending on the chosen diet option, such people managed to reduce their own body weight by 2-10 kilograms (the average indicator per week was minus 4 kg), while completely not feeling hungry. In addition, the use of a large number of fish dishes in their diet had a positive effect on their health. After completing the dietary course on fish, many noted the normalization of digestion, an improvement in the condition of hair and skin, an increase in mood and an increase in the quality of life itself, both physically and psychologically.

• «… I just love the fish. In my opinion, it is much healthier than any meat products, and even more so the current meat of chickens, which are generally not clear what they feed. And then it became possible to lose weight on fish. In a word, a dream. At first, I decided to try the diet for 7 days, then I extended it by 10 days, in the end I sat on the fish diet for 2 weeks, during which I managed to lose a little less than 12 kg. Over the entire period of the diet, several times I replaced fish dishes with shrimp or octopus meat. The feeling of hunger did not appear even once. Throughout the diet, I was accompanied by some kind of lightness in the body and a wonderful mood. After the diet, even the hair was transformed. Hair became shiny and thick as in childhood. In general, I advise everyone who loves seafood to try this diet.»;
• «… I have been choosing a diet for myself for a long time and, in the end, I decided to opt for the 7-day option for losing weight on fish. Previously, fish was rarely present in my diet, as a person with an allergy to this product lived in the house. After he moved out, I can finally afford to eat fish dishes at least every day. I didn't need any moral or psychological preparation. Any fish dish was accepted by my body as a long-awaited and desired delicacy. The only violation of the regime that I allowed myself was a cup of brewed coffee in the morning after sleep. And I ate cottage cheese with kefir less than it was supposed to. I am very pleased with my result. I got rid of 3 kg, and besides, I began to feel much more energetic and lighter. Now I will take a short break for myself and sit on fish again, but this time for 2 weeks»;
• «… A well-thought-out diet, balanced enough and also very healthy. Fish is much easier for the body to digest than any other meat. Nowadays, many advanced people replace meat products fish dishes. I also have my own positive results of losing weight on fish. Last year, choosing from many existing dietary methods, I settled on a fish diet, motivating my choice with its usefulness for my own health. After 10 days I became 5 kg lighter. Then I took a short break, during which I leaned on citrus and other fruits to accumulate vitamin C. A month later, I again spent 10 days on fish and vegetable dishes (mostly). The result was a loss of another 4 kg. Today I eat mainly vegetables, fish and fruits. I eat meat and milk quite rarely, usually at a party or during the holidays. I feel just fine. Soon I plan to repeat the fish diet again»;
• «… Recently I was resting by the Black Sea and decided to try to lose weight on a fish diet. At first, the process went well, ate mostly flounder, pollock, and occasionally allowed herself mackerel. And on the 6th day, instead of fish, I ate boiled shrimp, as it turned out later, to my great regret. After such a meal, it turned out that I have a terrible allergy to this product, or maybe their freshness did not match the declared one. In general, it all ended with vomiting and diarrhea. Now I can't even look at the shrimp. But I really liked the method of losing weight. The result in 5 days was - minus 4 kilos, to which another 1 kg was added, which had gone away during my poor health. I will try to lose weight on fish, but without shrimp»;
• «… In my opinion, the effectiveness of the fish diet is quite a controversial issue, about which I have my own opinion. I think everyone has known for a long time that each individual human body reacts in its own way to different foods, and what is good for one may not be healthy for another. For example, my own body reacted quite outside the box to such a diet. For three days of a fish diet, I gained 3.5 kilograms. I did not violate the recommended regime, I followed absolutely all the rules, but the negative result I received unpleasantly surprised me. But my friend, who at the same time was on an identical diet, managed to lose weight very well. Paradox but true».
