French Diet: Morning cupcake. The final stage of the diet

Feel like a sophisticated Parisian will help french diet For fast weight loss. Slender, always elegant and well-groomed French women know a lot about the world of beauty, fashion and healthy eating. Croissants familiar to them from childhood, fragrant Roquefort, bechamel or all kinds of fondue do not leave a mark on their wasp waist. What's the secret?

We recommend reading:

Simplicity and nutritious diet are the main advantages of the diet. It allows you to eat tasty, not feel hungry and at the same time lose up to 8-10 kilograms in a couple of weeks. quickly burns body fat and strengthens the hormonal system due to the minimum consumption of carbohydrates. Therefore, muscles, skin, hair and the entire silhouette of the figure do not lose their attractiveness.

The result of the diet will last for a long time. After 14 days, the lost weight will not return soon. To consolidate, it is important to maintain a balance between the quality and quantity of food for six months. healthy eating in the morning and in the evening, a rational drinking regime, the ability to cope with overeating during festive feasts - require serious work on oneself.

Follow the example of the French: for them, dinner is not just another meal, but a time for spiritual rest and fellowship.

Availability. Contrary to its origins, the diet lacks Parisian chic on its menu. Products are available: they are easy to find in supermarkets and market stalls. The prices won't hurt your wallet. And cooking diet meals won't take much time and effort.

Who said that you only need to "sit" on a diet? The French technique is low in carbohydrates. It is ideal for an active life: exercise in gym, dancing, classes in the pool. It is better for debuting athletes to start small. In the morning - a few minutes of vigorous exercise, in the afternoon - walking and other elementary exercises will give expressiveness to muscle reliefs.

Diet menu for 7 days

The French diet is designed for 14 days. Here is the menu for the week (second week - repeat from day 1).

Monday:

In the morning we drink a cup of strong freshly brewed coffee;
For lunch we eat a couple of boiled eggs, lettuce, one tomato;
We have dinner with lettuce leaves and boiled beef (or veal).

In the morning we supplement coffee with a small toast;
We dine with veal;
Boiled sausage and lettuce round off the day.

In the morning we eat fresh toast and drink espresso;
Lunch: tomato, carrot (baked or lightly fried), for dessert - tangerine;
For dinner: a couple of boiled eggs, lettuce and boiled sausage (ham).

We have coffee and toast for breakfast;
We have lunch with carrots (as on Wednesday - baked or lightly fried), one boiled, (hard varieties);
We have dinner with fruits, kefir.

In the morning - grated carrots combined with lemon juice. They will add variety to the usual breakfast;
For lunch - fish and tomato;
Boiled beef ends the working day.

In the morning - the usual coffee;

Veal - for the evening.

Sunday:

In the morning we drink tonic green tea with a small slice of lemon;
For lunch - veal, as a dessert - or an orange;
We complete the first week of the diet with boiled sausage.

The diet menu is based on no more than 100 g for cheese, meat and fish products. Boiled sausage, if desired, can be replaced with ham. We prepare tea and coffee without adding sugar. During the day, you need to drink 1.5-2 liters of non-carbonated water. The optimal time for dinner is 6-7 pm.

The final stage of the diet

Nutrition according to the French method should not stop exactly after 14 days. The body is accustomed to a protein diet and a minimum carbohydrate content. To consolidate the result, follow these simple recommendations:

The first two weeks after the diet, gradually introduce cereals on the water (without sugar) and fermented milk products;
Diversify the lunch menu with vegetable stews, light soups, casseroles, compotes, fresh juices;
Try not to overeat in the evening. Add a light vegetable or fruit salad, cottage cheese and an omelet from a couple of eggs to boiled meat or poultry;
Eat little but often. Indulge in a second breakfast and afternoon snack with a piece of cheese, fresh fruit, muesli, yogurt;
For the health of the body, try to do fasting days twice a month.

French cake for dessert

The French women themselves jokingly offer a different menu for quick weight loss: "In the morning - a cupcake, in the afternoon - a cupcake and sex, in the evening - only sex." Did the diet not work? Then cancel the cupcake!

The nutrition of graceful Parisians is not based on prohibitions. “Food should bring joy!” is their motto. Limiting yourself to the same muffins or croissants will lead to overeating. Therefore, they love and eat sweets, but little by little. What prevents you from following their example? After a long diet, treat yourself to a light cottage cheese cake for oatmeal. For its preparation you will need:

Cottage cheese (500 g);
Oatmeal (80 g);
A couple of eggs;
Baking powder (1 pack.);
Sugar (150 g or cook without it);
Cinnamon and other additives - to taste.

Grind the oatmeal with a blender, and wipe the cottage cheese through a sieve - this will add airiness to the cake. In a bowl, mix cottage cheese and cereal. Add a couple of eggs, baking powder, sugar and fragrant cinnamon. Mix the ingredients and pour into cake molds. We put in an oven preheated to 200 degrees. Half an hour later, a delicious dish is ready. The calorie content of one cupcake will be about 210 kcal.

Exact adherence to the menu and a reasonable approach to diet will minimize the following side effects:

Job disruption gastrointestinal tract. The problem is relevant for people suffering from constipation;
Weakness. Inadequate fluid intake can lead to exhaustion and dizziness;
Lethargy. The deterioration of intellectual abilities occurs against the background of a lack of carbohydrates;
The appearance of bad breath.

There are people to whom the French diet for quick weight loss can harm and provoke an exacerbation of chronic ailments:

For liver diseases, of cardio-vascular system and kidneys. Protein diet - stress and additional burden on the body;
With thrombosis, gout and dysbacteriosis - the diet is prohibited;
Insufficient balance of the menu, a small amount of fruits and vegetables - a direct road to beriberi.

I thought for a long time whether to mention sex to me. I know that the children of my friends read me. My doubts were dispelled after watching the cartoon "Rio". I mean the scene on the roof of a trolley bus in Rio between parrots. I think our children are less puritanically brought up than we are and perceive everything more naturally. I can’t even imagine such hints in classic Soviet cartoons. Hmm. So, it's okay, but if suddenly ... "then take your children away from our blue screens."
So, we read "Faina Ranevskaya. Cases. Jokes. Aphorisms" compiled by I.V. Zakharov and sit down on the recommended French diet. Anyone over the age of 18 urgently. Starting with today.

Ranevskaya and Marlene Dietrich meet.
- Tell me, - asks Ranevskaya, - that's why you are all so
skinny and slender, and we are big and fat?
- It's just that our diet is special: in the morning - a cupcake, in the evening - sex.
Well, what if it doesn't help?
- Then eliminate the flour.

I will now sign the morning part of the diet for you under the cut, and I think you can handle the evening part yourself, without my advice.

P.S. I hope you understand that this is not a case from the life of Ranevskaya, but one of the anecdotes of people walking around the world.

P.P.S. Besides the fact that Marlene Dietrich was a great actress, she was also an extraordinary woman. One has only to read her "ABC of Life" and it is immediately clear what an amazing woman wrote these few pages. By the way, there is her favorite eggplant caviar. I wrote about it

Heat the remaining kumquat syrup and dissolve the white chocolate in it.
Then remove the cake to a dish, with a long straw (Chinese stick is perfect) make holes in the cake along the entire length of the cake with an interval of 2 cm, 3 holes along the width of the cake. Spread the warm frosting evenly over the surface of the cake so that some of the frosting flows into the holes. Mask the holes with the remaining candied kumquats.
It is very tasty to serve such a cupcake with fruit yoghurts.

Tip: When baking cupcakes, give preference to baking pans. light colors. Cupcakes rise much better in them than in dark forms. All ingredients for the cake batter should be at room temperature.

Philosopher with a cigarette in his mouth Ranevskaya Faina Georgievna

Cupcake in the morning, sex in the evening

This story is more like a joke. They say that Faina Georgievna and Marlene Dietrich met somehow.

Tell me, - asked Ranevskaya, - why are you all so thin and slender in the West, and we in Russia are all so arrogant and fat?

We just have a special diet: in the morning - a cupcake, in the evening - sex.

Well, what if it doesn't help?

Then flour should be excluded.

On the streets of Paris, slender legs in over the knee boots and slender waists flash, which, it seems, can be clasped with two fingers. French women have learned from childhood: only a slender person has the right to call herself a woman, and a “woman” in France sounds proud! The French diet is primarily moderation in eating. Since childhood, mothers put a little less than they can eat on a girl's plate. And there can be no question of forcing everyone to eat up everything to the last crumb! That is why French women strive to enjoy food, to enjoy every bite. You can feel like a real Frenchwoman with the help of the French diet.

First you should get acquainted with the principles on which the French food system is based:

The French menu is dominated by fresh vegetables and fruits. It's FRESH. A real Frenchwoman will never eat stale apples and spoiled tomatoes.
Each meal is varied and balanced: lots of vegetables and grains, a piece of meat or poultry, wholemeal bread. Only olive oil and real butter. A French woman will not allow herself to spread margarine on bread.
After dinner, treat yourself to dessert. “What is this diet that allows you to eat desserts?” - you ask. And the whole secret is that French women do not eat the whole portion, but only half.
French women make a real holiday out of every meal - they set the table beautifully, put cutlery, wine glasses. They eat slowly, savoring every bite. In this case, you can turn on light, quiet music. And no food in front of the TV!
French women prefer to eat at home, because this is the only way to control the freshness and quality of products. They prepare dishes that are safe for the figure at home: grilled meat and fish and garnished with fresh vegetable salads.
They are also very careful about their health - no beer and cigarettes, medicinal weight loss stimulants. Residents of France try to walk more often, get out into nature, breathe fresh air in parks and squares.

The French women themselves joke about the secrets of the success of the French diet like this: “A cupcake in the morning, a cupcake and sex in the afternoon, only sex in the evening. If it doesn’t help, exclude flour.” In fact, there is a less strict version of the French diet for a week, which helps to lose up to 5 kg of excess weight.

And after the release of the book by Galina Kulikova "Sabina on the French Diet", she gained even more fans.

But those who want to give birth to a girl should lean on foods high in calcium and magnesium. This diet should be followed by both parents a month before conception, future mother, 2 more months later.
