Diet 5 tablespoons: pros and cons

The 5 tablespoon diet is a weight loss system that meets all the principles of proper and balanced nutrition. It is based on strict restriction of food during one meal. As recent scientific studies show, it is precisely those diets that do not force a person to give up certain foods, but only limit their consumption, that are most effective and do not harm health. Five tablespoons is the amount of food that a losing weight must eat in order to be full, replenish energy reserves and start losing weight. Moreover, this norm is not an invention of the authors of the diet, but recommendations that were adopted at the 8th Congress of the Association of Nutritionists, held in Europe.

The diet does not imply any strict restrictions on the menu. It is important to follow the only unshakable rule - do not eat more than five tablespoons of food at one time. The volumes of such portions, on average, are equal to 200 g.

The basic principles of the diet are as follows:

• There should be no long breaks between meals (no more than 3 hours).
• Serving weight at one time should not exceed 0.2 kg.
• In order not to eat too much, vegetables and fruits should first be chopped. This will allow you to more accurately measure 5 tablespoons. If there is no desire to cut the food, then you can simply weigh them.
• Besides water, you can drink coffee, tea, fresh juices, fruit drinks. Sugar is not added to drinks.
• There are no recommendations for avoiding salt and spices, but in order to get rid of extra pounds faster, their consumption should be limited.
• Do not drink carbonated drinks and industrial juices.
• An acceptable way to heat food is steam cooking. You can also stew or cook dishes.
• Store sauces are not recommended for food. If you want to improve the taste of a dish, you should cook it yourself.

The process of losing weight will occur due to the fact that small portions will reduce the walls of the stomach, make it smaller in volume. This, in turn, will make it possible to satisfy hunger much faster, which means not to overeat.

For 7 days on a diet of 5 tablespoons, you can lose 2 to 3 kg of excess weight. The diet is not limited in time, it can be adhered to throughout life, since it does not contradict the principles of proper nutrition.

Reviews and results

Reviews of doctors and specialists

Evgeny Petrovich, nutritionist: “In my opinion, a diet of 5 tablespoons is one of the most correct and effective diets that allow a person to get rid of bad food habits. It does not require additional intake of vitamins, since its menu is balanced enough to cover all the needs of the human body. Weight will go away from the first days of the diet, which is the best motivation for anyone losing weight."

Antonina Evgenievna, nutritionist: “The diet is very easy to tolerate. The feeling of hunger can bother a person only in the first few days after starting the diet. Gradually, the stomach decreases in size, which allows you to moderate your own appetite and not gain excess weight even after completing the diet. I recommend drinking green tea and herbal teas between meals, and 1.5 hours before bedtime, you can eat a portion of bran. Be sure to drink enough water during the diet. This will help avoid stool problems and control hunger."

Reviews of those who have lost weight

Asya: “I stayed on the diet for a month, while the fat literally melted before our eyes. At first I was a little hungry, as it is quite difficult to instantly get used to miniature portions, but then I got used to it. Moreover, you can eat anything - cakes, fatty fish, noodles, but in limited quantities. You can't eat more than five spoons, but when I dined with soup, I ate 10 spoons. This did not affect the result.

It was especially difficult not to eat after 7 pm. I drank water and green tea, and went to bed with an empty stomach. Sometimes even at night I woke up from being hungry, but I overcame myself. In a month, I managed to lose 15 kg. After 3 months after completing the diet, the weight returned, but I did not limit myself to anything, it is my own fault. Nevertheless, the diet is wonderful, I recommend it to everyone."

Katerina: “I really liked the diet because it does not force me to give up my favorite foods, I just need to eat them in moderation. It is best to trust not tablespoons, but kitchen scales. The volume of one portion should not exceed 200 g. For a month on a diet, I lost 9 kg. At the same time, she ate homemade dumplings, and sausage, and sweets. I think that if you eat right, and not like me, the result will be even more impressive. I didn't have any health problems. It is important to drink a glass of warm water 20 minutes before meals in order to speed up metabolic processes. In general, the diet is good."

Nina: “Looking at myself in the mirror, I decided that it was time to lose weight. At the same time, I am very glad that I preferred the 5-spoon diet. She allowed me to lose 16 kg of excess weight, which I gained while I was at home. I think the main advantage of the diet is that it not only helps to lose weight, but also does not require preparing meals separately for yourself, but separately for family members. Obesity is a disease that must be eliminated. A diet of 5 tablespoons is great for this task."
