The drinking diet is a “strict” diet for weight loss and cleansing the body at the cellular level, during which solid food is not allowed.
The aim of a drinking diet is to reduce the load on the digestive system without significantly reducing the absorption of nutrients, vitamins and microelements into the body.

Drinking diet 7 days
A 7-day drinking diet allows you to cleanse the body of toxins and waste products without exhausting it or subjecting it to severe stress.The result of the drinking diet, according to reviews, will be a weight loss of 4-7 kg in 7 days.
The 7-day drinking diet can only be based on any liquid product (puree soup, broth, kefir, jelly and others) - a mono-diet.However, it makes more sense to alternate the days and drink different liquids in order to better supply the body with the necessary nutrients and to make the weekly menu more varied.
According to reviews, a 7-day drinking diet is easier to endure if you alternate the following drinking days in no particular order:
- 1 – Dairy products, fat content no more than 1.5-2.0%: kefir, milk, fermented baked milk, drinking yogurt without fillers;
- 2 – Vegetable and low-fat meat broths or puree soups based on them;
- 3 – freshly squeezed fruit juices made from sweet and sour fruits;
- 4 – different types of freshly brewed loose leaf tea, either with milk or lemon;
- 5 – jelly, made only from fresh fruits and berries;
- 6 – Compotes made from fresh fruits and berries or dried fruits;
- 7 – Oatmeal jelly.
Drink 1.5 liters of drinking water without gases every day throughout the week.To avoid morning swelling, it is not recommended to drink anything immediately before going to bed.
