The desire to have a toned figure is characteristic not only of women, but also of men. And the matter is not only in the external beauty and relations with the opposite sex. Normal weight and a slender figure indicate good physical and mental health. It has long been known that overweight provokes cardiovascular diseases and endocrine pathologies, and also negatively affects emotions and self-esteem.
How to achieve the desired parameters? Many resort to a variety of nutritional regimes that help lose weight in a relatively short amount of time. Similar programs include the chemical diet. According to reviews, this mode promotes relatively quick and easy weight loss. This is due to the fact that the program is designed for two to four weeks and is not too tight and excessive.
However, before we go on to consider the detailed menu of the chemical diet for a week, let's get acquainted with the general rules of this diet and its features.
A bit of history
It is very important to find out who came up with this technique and why. Thanks to this, we can make sure that the nutrition program is effective and safe for health.
Who is the founder of a chemical diet? Osam Hamdiy. It was thanks to him that a new technique for losing weight was released. What was the chemical diet designed for? Osam Hamdiy, being a specialized dietitian and a famous professor, tried to choose a nutrition program so that people with disabilities who suffer from diabetes could lose weight with it.
Although there is no doubt about the safety and harmlessness of this diet, nevertheless, before beginning compliance with it, you should consult your doctor or nutritionist.
But back to the beginning of our story. After the general public got acquainted with the results of the chemical diet, ordinary people who did not suffer from diabetes or other serious pathologies of the endocrine system began to use it for weight loss. Thus, this power system has gained popularity and recognition.
What is its effectiveness?
Secret Weight Loss Program
How does the technique work? It is based on the activation of the necessary chemical reactions that occur in the human body. No wonder it is also called a diet for chemical reactions. However, do not worry. You will not need to absorb synthetic substances or any other reagents. The menu of the technique is selected so that the chemical reactions that occur in the body of each person are directed to weight loss, and not to the accumulation of fat and extra pounds.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of this system? It is very important to know in order to decide whether this technique is suitable for you or not.
Let's talk about the pros first
The advantages of a chemical diet include its high effectiveness. For a month of such a diet, you can lose twelve to fifteen kilograms. But this is not so little, right?
The next advantage of the technique is that it improves the digestion process, as it saturates the human body with useful vitamins and minerals. By the way, the diet menu is very diverse, so you will not only enrich your body, but also will not experience a nagging feeling of hunger. Thanks to this, losing weight will be accompanied by positive emotions and a good mood.
A great advantage of the diet is the fact that it assumes a precisely planned menu, so that losing weight becomes very easy and simple. No need to calculate calories, weigh half the products, make up the menu. All this is already done before you! The exact diet menu is presented below.
The disadvantages of the method
But what without them? First of all, you should know that the main products allowed in the diet can cause some allergic reactions, such as skin rashes, itching or swelling. In this case, losing weight using this technique will have to be stopped.
A big minus, many losing weight note monotonous breakfasts. However, this should not stop you. To achieve amazing results, you need to sacrifice something.
And finally, about contraindications. Future and lactating mothers are not recommended to sit on this diet. If a person suffers from serious chronic diseases, then before starting to lose weight with the help of this technique, you should consult your doctor.
What are the main rules of this system?
Basic principles of the methodology
According to reviews, a chemical diet can effectively lose weight if you strictly adhere to its diet. Here are some things to look out for:
- Dishes cannot be salted. If you can’t completely refuse seasoning, then minimize salt.
- If the menu does not show the exact volume or weight of the product, then it can be consumed in unlimited quantities.
- The last meal should take place four to five hours before bedtime.
- Products should be steamed or boiled or baked.
- Do not forget about the liquid! At least one and a half liters of clean water without gas should be knocked out per day, and this is not counting tea, coffee and first courses. However, remember that drinking food is not recommended. You can also diversify your diet with herbal teas, coffee, without adding sugar or cream.
- In no case can you swap days, weeks or products from the menu below. Do not forget, the diet is based on chemical reactions that occur within us.
- If you break loose or mix something up, do not be discouraged. Start eating according to the method anew, from the very first day, and do not forget - you will succeed!
- Accompany this diet should be moderate physical activity. Normal morning exercises or simple walks are enough.
- If you want a snack, then this can be done two hours after the main meal, using a small amount of fresh vegetables.
So, we smoothly moved on to one of the main questions: which foods are allowed and which are prohibited by this food methodology?
What can I eat
The very first and most important thing is to eat chicken eggs, as well as grapefruits, which can be replaced with oranges. In general, grapefruits are indicated in the original chemical diet (for 4 weeks or 2 weeks), since they have the necessary trace elements and substances that contribute to fat burning. However, if it’s expensive for you to buy these fruits, or if you live in an area where they are not sold, then you can stop at oranges.
What other fruits can I eat? First of all, pineapples, cherries, lemons, tangerines, kiwi, which are also considered excellent fat burners. Allowed fruits also include apples, watermelon, melon, and peaches.
What about vegetables? This food system involves the use of eggplant, cabbage, carrots, olives, peppers, radishes, beets, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers.
And it's all? Of course not. According to the original menu of this food system, you can eat bran bread, feta cheese and cottage cheese, olive oil, chicken and beef. Do not forget about fish and seafood. The menu should include hake, flounder, cod, pollock.
You can also diversify the menu with seasonings. However, be careful, not all spices are allowed, but only dried paprika, basil, allspice, vinegar or rosemary.
What can not be eaten?
Among the prohibited foods, it is necessary to mention all pasta and carbonated drinks that contribute to metabolic disorders. You should also completely forget about sausages, fastwood and white bread. And, of course, set out to spend time without confectionery, such as cookies, cakes, sweets. If you really want glucose, then the usual sweets can be replaced with honey, dried fruits, marmalade. Alcoholic beverages are also contraindicated in the food system of interest to us.
However, this is not all. Interestingly, some vegetables and fruits are on the list of unacceptable foods. For example, potatoes, grapes, figs, mangoes and bananas. Dates, jam, ice cream and chocolate are also forbidden, and, of course, mayonnaise, lard, ham, pork, veal and lamb. Unacceptable seafood includes salmon, trout and salmon.

So, we got to the finish line. According to reviews, in a month you can lose a decent weight and lose a dozen centimeters at the waist. If this does not happen to you - do not despair, perhaps this type of food simply does not suit you. So look for something new and more effective. Or take a break and restart your chemical diet. After all, most likely, it turned out to lose a few kilograms.
But what if you find it difficult to adhere to this nutrition system for a month? Then you can go on a chemical diet for 2 weeks. The menu of this technique will be discussed in the next section.
Lose weight in fourteen days
Is it possible to lose extra pounds in half a month? Of course, during this period no one will promise you twenty kilograms of plumb, but it is quite possible to reduce body weight by a couple of kilograms. Below is a menu of a chemical diet for 2 weeks. However, there are two options.
One of them is that eating in the first seven days should be the same as in the first week of a month’s diet. And the days from the eighth to the fourteenth will be similar to the fourth week, presented above.
However, you can eat differently. For convenience, below is another table with a detailed menu for each day. The seeds will be the same each time - two boiled eggs and half a grapefruit (we already know that it can be replaced with an orange).
| Days | Menu |
| First and eighth | For lunch, eat as much fruit as you need to forget about hunger. However, the fruits must be of the same species. For dinner, boil two hundred grams of meat. |
| Second and ninth | At lunch, we eat meat. We have dinner with toast, two boiled eggs, citrus and vegetable salad. |
| Third and tenth | A day meal includes two tomatoes, a slice of low-fat cheese and toast. In the evening we eat the same as for breakfast. |
| Fourth and eleventh | At lunch, again we eat a large amount of the same fruit. We have dinner with meat and fresh vegetable salad. Do not forget that the smaller the portions, the better. |
| Fifth and twelfth | For lunch, boil two eggs and gnaw two carrots. We have a royal dinner - baked or boiled fish, grapefruit and fresh vegetable salad |
| Sixth and thirteenth | A daily meal consists in the absorption of the same fruit until saturation is felt. For dinner, we cook meat and a salad of fresh vegetables. |
| Seventh and fourteenth | For lunch, pamper yourself with chicken breast, stewed vegetables and one citrus. For dinner, bake or stew vegetables. |
So, we examined in detail the menu and diet during the diet. Now let's find out how to finish it right.
We leave gradually
This is very important, because if you immediately pounce on sweets, pastries and fat, you can not only gain weight even more than it was, but also harm your stomach. Illegal foods should be introduced gradually, increasing physical activity. For example, you can do fitness or jogging in the morning. Or perhaps you don’t want to return to junk food at all, and a chemical diet will become for you not only a nutrition system, but also a way of life.
However, it is important not to overdo it.
Real reviews
Having studied the reviews of those who have lost weight about a chemical diet, you can understand that it is suitable for almost everyone. Most of those who adhered to this technique lost weight, not just two or three kilograms, but seven, and even all ten!
On the other hand, people say that sticking to a power system is not so easy. Following the regime, many thinners began to hate eggs and could no longer put them in their mouths. It was difficult for others to keep a long interval between meals.
However, all these nuances are nothing compared to brilliant results.
