You can endlessly study forums and thematic groups on social networks, trying to find an effective diet for quickly losing 5 kg. But it’s better to use proven methods that are guaranteed to help get your body in shape in 5 days.
Light apple diet
The five-day apple diet comes in many variations. These fruits are low in calories (their energy value depends on the variety, but on average it is 35-60 kcal per 100 g). As for the chemical composition, apples are 87% water, which promotes weight loss.
In addition, these fruits contain many beneficial substances, such as antioxidants and pectin, which helps cleanse the intestines. But if you eat only apples, the feeling of hunger will not allow you to lead a normal life. Therefore, nutritionists recommend a more gentle option.
A light apple diet also includes other foods that need to be properly distributed throughout the day. If we start the system from the beginning of the week, then on Monday, Wednesday and Friday the approximate menu looks like this:
- breakfast - a portion of cottage cheese (100 g) and a raw green apple with it;
- lunch - a few rye crackers and an apple baked in the oven with cinnamon;
- lunch - low-fat boiled fish, for example, pike perch (100 g) and a fruit salad of orange and apple, seasoned with natural yogurt;
- afternoon snack - another portion of cottage cheese (100 g) with a green apple;
- dinner - two apples and 30 g of hard cheese.
On Tuesday and Thursday the menu should be like this:
- breakfast - 100 g of muesli or oatmeal and an apple;
- lunch - a salad of raw carrots, grated, and sliced apples, seasoned with lemon juice and vegetable oil to better absorb vitamins;
- lunch - chicken fillet baked with herbs and an apple;
- afternoon snack - a portion of cottage cheese or yogurt;
- dinner - 3-4 apples, more is possible.
For stomach ulcers and gastritis, it is not recommended to eat raw fruits, only baked and non-acidic varieties. With these diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, you cannot go on such a strict diet.
Advantages and disadvantages of emergency weight loss
What could be better than rapid weight loss?
Considering five-day diets, it is worth noting that their use has many other advantages:
- accelerated weight loss programs prevent the emergence of fear of dietary restrictions;
- in extreme conditions, the body launches adaptation mechanisms, which contributes to the consumption of stored lipid deposits;
- after following a diet, there is no desire to consume foods that are harmful to health;
- motivation for other achievements on the path to an ideal body increases;
- short-term diets are economical because there is no need to purchase large quantities of expensive products.
Among the disadvantages of diets designed for a short period of time are:
- the risk of developing vitamin deficiency caused by a decrease in the amount of incoming nutrients, minerals, and vitamins;
- the need for preliminary preparatory measures before starting the diet;
- adding new dishes to the diet requires an allergy test.
For many body systems, a sharp decrease in the number of calories absorbed can trigger stress.
"Ladder"
The Ladder Diet got its name because it can be compared to steps on the path to achieving an ideal weight. The diet plan is divided into 5 days: on the first, the body is cleansed, on the second, it is restored, on the third, it is provided with energy, and on the fourth, protein reserves that were consumed in the previous stages are replenished. The final, fifth day involves burning the remaining fat.
The advantages of the diet are that if at some stage there is a breakdown, you can always start all over again. This is a low-calorie, but varied diet in terms of vitamin content. Therefore, the body will not experience feelings of hunger, except for the first day, which will help avoid health problems and food breakdowns.
The rules of the diet can be summarized as follows:
- First day. This is the most stringent stage. The entire diet should consist of apples; you can eat 1 kg of them, but no more. During this day you are allowed to drink 2 liters of clean water, any other drinks are excluded. Every hour, nutritionists advise taking 1 tablet of activated charcoal.
- Second. The diet should consist of fermented milk products - kefir, fermented baked milk and cottage cheese of the lowest fat content. During the day, you can drink no more than 5 glasses of kefir and eat 500 g of cottage cheese without sugar or any additives. Losing 5 kg over these two days is quite possible.
- Third. These are already carbohydrates. In total, you can eat 300 g of raisins per day (it is recommended to choose dark ones), 2-3 tbsp. l. honey You need to drink dried fruit compote, up to 2 liters in total. This way the body will restore glycogen reserves without regaining lost weight.
- Fourth. This is protein. It is recommended to eat poultry (chicken or turkey), boiled or baked, with a side dish of herbs.
- Fifth. The final stage. During the day you can eat 200 g of oatmeal, cooked in water, without sugar or salt. It is also recommended to include in the diet 300-400 g of raw fruits or vegetables, from which they make a salad, seasoned with unsweetened yogurt or olive oil.
Exiting the diet should be especially careful. No more than one new product can be introduced during the day. Portions should be increased very slowly.
General rules
The problem of losing excess weight requires a clear and competent approach.
Everyone has long known that everyone’s body works differently, taking into account individual characteristics. What is ideal for one may be completely contraindicated for another. There are situations in life when you need to get rid of a few extra pounds in the shortest possible time. In this case, the 5-day diet is ideal. Due to its short duration, it is quite well tolerated. It is very important to stop in time and not prolong the diet longer than indicated, so as not to harm your health. Be sure to consult with your doctor about the possibility of you going on a short-term but effective diet. The presented diet allows you to get rid of minus 10 kg of excess weight. The basic principle of nutrition is to consume foods that are easily accepted by the human body at the genetic level. The diet should contain the most natural products possible. The main ingredients are: fruits, legumes, cheese, chicken, eggs, oatmeal.
Buckwheat diet
Buckwheat and kefir diets are considered the most effective. But eating the same product for five days is not safe for the stomach. Therefore, nutritionists most often recommend a kind of hybrid - a buckwheat-kefir diet. Cereals contain a lot of potassium, magnesium, and B vitamins, which not only allows you to lose weight, but also cleanse and strengthen the body. Kefir contains calcium and regulates digestion.
The buckwheat diet involves preparing porridge in a certain way. You cannot boil cereals for a long time, as the beneficial substances will be destroyed. Instead, it is soaked in boiling water overnight, and the excess water is only drained in the morning.
You can add greens to buckwheat, fresh cucumbers, sesame seeds - all this acts in the same way as cereal, helping to remove toxins and get rid of extra pounds. You can eat no more than 200 g of buckwheat porridge at one time. For lunch and afternoon snack, you are allowed to drink a glass of kefir, another one at night, to improve digestion. The product must be of the lowest fat content. You can start your morning with a glass of water with honey so that your health does not deteriorate from the lack of carbohydrates, and your metabolism improves. If you don't do this, you may get a headache.
Features of five-day diets for weight loss
The basis of short-term diets is to limit the amount of calories the body receives. During the period of following a short-term diet, the number of calories is reduced due to greater consumption of purified still water. By reducing the volume of portions, the body adapts to spending its own resources, accumulated in the form of fat deposits. Thanks to these natural biochemical processes, fat is converted into energy for an active life.
Rapid weight loss provokes a decrease in the elasticity of the skin and muscle tone. Regular exercise helps maintain skin elasticity and firmness and muscle tone.
The 5 by 5 diet was developed by nutritionists for the purpose of emergency weight loss
English
The English diet for 5 days is rarely practiced. The classic version is designed for 21 days, of which two days at the beginning and one at the end are “hungry”. It is difficult to maintain this system for such a long period, but there is an option for 7 days. In this case, the first two days are considered hungry, they can be called preparatory. Then comes the actual basic five-day diet with meals by the hour. A sample menu looks like this:
- First and second day. Only low-fat kefir is allowed, 1 glass at 8 am, then at 11:00, 13:00, 16:00 and 19:00. On other days, meals should also be taken at this time. At 8:00 and 13:00 you can add rye toast to kefir.
- The third and fourth days are protein days. At 8 am - a boiled egg, 100 g of boiled chicken fillet, wash it all down with a glass of kefir. At 11 am, lunch is a cup of unsweetened green tea, toast with honey. For lunch - a portion of chicken broth with herbs, up to 200 g of boiled chicken fillet. For an afternoon snack - a cup of weak tea, toast with a spoon of honey. Dinner - two boiled eggs, 50 g of boiled chicken fillet, at night you need to drink a glass of kefir.
- The fifth and sixth days are vegetable days. For breakfast - vegetable salad with olive oil or lemon juice. For lunch - a smoothie made from apples and oranges. For lunch - 200 g of vegetable stew without potatoes, a plate of vegetarian soup. Afternoon snack - a couple of plums or kiwis. Dinner - another portion of vegetable salad and green tea.
The seventh day should also be fasting, with a kefir menu, as in the first two days. Then - a smooth exit from the diet.
Reviews and results
You can find many enthusiastic comments about this express diet. Girls brag about how they lose 1 kg every day. Of course, some are distrustful of such a diet, since the nutrition of each day is radically different, but this is the principle of the 5 for 5 Diet - effective saturation with nutrients, preparation for intensive weight loss and immediate express unloading of the body.
Among the positive reviews, several general points can be highlighted:
- “... The diet is simple and effective”;

The first day is protein | There is only meat, and in boiled form - 200 g for each main meal. To prevent it from being bland, you can use dry Provençal herbs, but you will have to do without salt.

Starvation
Fasting is the most effective method for rapid weight loss. In 5 days it takes 5–7 kg. The results are obvious, but this method also has plenty of contraindications.

They come out of the hunger strike gradually, including diluted freshly squeezed juices in their diet. The duration of the exit depends on the period of fasting.

Rules for preparation and exit
Express diets are good because they give quick results. In addition, in most cases you do not need to prepare complex dishes for them. But an express diet is stressful for the body. It is best to prepare for it over the course of a week, gradually reducing the serving size. It is allowed to arrange fasting days on weekends, and start the diet itself on Monday, then the next weekend you can smoothly get into the rhythm.
The exit should also be gradual. Otherwise, the lost weight may return. After finishing the diet, it is important not to immediately pounce on food, but to continue to eat hourly and in small portions, giving preference to low-calorie dishes.
It is better not to eat fried or spicy foods for at least another week. Ideally, give up this habit.
