Bonn Soup Diet (Bonn Diet)

The set of products for the "Bonn diet" is quite diverse, so it is easily tolerated. The main thing is to taste its main ingredient - the very miraculous soup that helps to lose excess pounds.
It is difficult to say what the soup has to do with the German city of Bonn, or if it does. Nevertheless, the name stuck, and when they talk about Bonn soup, most people who have ever been interested in diets understand what it is about, although there are several recipes for this soup.
The property of soup to reduce weight is based on its three qualities: low calorie content, diuretic and fat burning effect. The latter is achieved through a large amount of "warming" spices that speed up metabolism, and vegetables such as cabbage and celery, which contain substances (for example, methionine) that promote fat breakdown.
The main condition for the effectiveness of Bonn soup is strict adherence to the recipe. True, it is difficult to understand how several variants of this very recipe could have appeared. Be that as it may, nutritionists advise you to carefully review the list of ingredients for each of the options, choose the one that best suits your taste preferences, and stick to it in the future. Experience shows that this approach works, and if a person strictly adheres to the recommendations of the diet, it gives a good effect, regardless of which recipe is taken as the basis.
The Bonn soup diet is designed for a week, but given that it is balanced enough, it can be extended by another weekly cycle if you need to lose significant weight. In this case, after the seventh day of the diet, you should start the cycle over from the first day. If, for any reason, the diet was interrupted, then when you resume it, you also need to start over, from the first day.
For a week on the "Bonn diet" you can lose from 2 to 6 kg. The speed of the plumb line depends on many factors, including the duration of the diet: at first, the weight always goes away faster, then the speed of the plumb line decreases. This is normal and should not be scary.
Advantages of the Bonn Soup Diet
The advantages of the Bonn soup diet are its effectiveness, balance and fairly easy tolerance. The diet is quite varied, the body receives the substances it needs, which means that the condition of the skin, hair and nails will not worsen.
The diet mostly consists of vegetables, and this is not only vitamins and minerals, but also fiber, which is necessary for the normal functioning of the intestines. Therefore, a Bonn soup diet allows you to avoid constipation - a problem that very often accompanies the process of losing weight. Among other things, fiber helps to cleanse the body of toxins, improve its health and normalize metabolism.
Disadvantages and contraindications of the Bonn soup diet
The disadvantage of the Bonn soup diet is the lack of fermented milk products, which are considered one of the most important elements of a healthy diet, a source of calcium and beneficial bacteria. Therefore, such a diet is not recommended for people suffering from dysbiosis.
The disadvantages of the diet include a diuretic effect due to the inclusion in the diet of several foods with the corresponding property. Due to the increased excretion of water, weight is reduced very quickly. Unfortunately, in this case, first of all, water, and not fat, leaves. In conditions of dehydration, the body, on the contrary, is very reluctant to part with fat, since fat is also a strategic supply of water for the body. In addition, dehydration leads to sagging skin, wrinkles and age spots. To compensate for the diuretic effect of the Bonn Diet, it is recommended to drink at least six cups of water a day.
And the last - a large amount of fiber and spices can harm people suffering from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract: lead to their exacerbation.
If you have any chronic illness, you should consult your doctor before starting a diet.
