In fitness, whoever works well eats well. And if you overdid it with the latter, then you need to give the body the opportunity to also have a rich rest. How to unload the body without harm to health? This is what we will talk about today.
Holidays are a reason to relax, spend the day under the covers, treat yourself to sweet treats and traditional salads with rich dressing. If you overindulge in high-calorie foods and alcohol, you may see weight gain on the scale the very next day, but don’t panic! The scale arrow went up not because of the formation of fat under the skin, because the body is not able to store such an amount in one or two days.
It's all about water retention. Fasting days, organized according to individual preferences, will help restore peace, conscience and get rid of annoying kilograms. The procedure is also useful for activating the weight loss process.
In this article you will learn:
- what are fasting days and how to spend them;
- several options for mini-diets on different foods;
- what are the benefits of fasting days when losing weight;
- possible harm and contraindications for use.
Why are fasting days needed?
The components of the average person's daily diet are often far from the principles of a healthy diet - junk food can clog the body and lead to extra pounds.
There is a great temptation to solve the problem with magic pills and trips to the salon for expensive procedures. But you can get by with a complex of two activities that can be done at home - training with your own weight (look for the complex at the end of the material) and cleansing the body.
Unloading the body
The procedure can also be considered a kind of training, taking a short period of time and strengthening previous weight loss results. Fasting days are focused on cleansing the body of toxins, waste and excess water.
The process may cause discomfort due to changes in eating behavior, but the very next day you will feel:
- lightness and good mood;
- stability in the functioning of the digestive system;
- decrease in volume in the upper abdomen (stomach);
- the abdominal area becomes less tense and soft.
A short-term fasting diet for 1-3 days is worth the results to change your eating habits for a short time.
The importance of unloading for an athlete
Athletes also practice deloading to deplete glycogen stores in the body in order to optimize energy intake and return polysaccharide to optimal levels, reducing the risk of fat gain.
What is the difference with diet
A diet is a certain unbalanced diet that is followed for a limited time. It is necessary when you need to treat a disease or quickly lose a large number of kilograms. The diet must be very carefully selected with the help of a specialist in order to achieve weight loss without leading the body to a deficiency of certain nutrients. Fasting days are more suitable for people who urgently need to lose several kilograms of weight. These days, unlike the diet, are easier to bear: both physically and psychologically. By limiting oneself in food for just one day, a person does not become depressed (as happens with diets). And, if the body weakens during the fasting day, it will recover the very next day. Diet can lead to a sustainable decrease in performance.
How to spend fasting days
Before you start unloading the body, it is recommended to arrange one training day with a change in your usual diet - this will psychologically set you up for a mini-diet and simplify the task.
Preparation is carried out in several stages:
- Day 1: after 12:00, spend the rest of the day eating plums or another product, but only one;
- Day 2: a restriction is introduced after 16:00 on eating food until the end of the day.
Further, the time frame of the restriction rises to 12:00, and then to the whole day.
On a fasting day, it is recommended to remove tempting foods from sight, leaving the essentials.
Reviews
Natalya: “I was very impressed by the unloading on carrots and apples; before that I tried different methods. With her help I lost 1.5 kg. It is important to remember to drink plenty of water, otherwise your mouth will feel dry.”
Julia: “I can’t afford long diets and workouts, so the carrot diet has become a real salvation for me. I managed to lose 4 kg when I gave myself 3 fasting days during the week. It’s easier than limiting yourself to food for 7 days, and the result is pleasantly pleasing.”
Rules for fasting days
Fasting days can also be called a short diet on one product.
A break from eating too much
It is important to give the body a break from abundant nutrition and remove waste products and toxins. Especially relevant:
- during the festive period and feasts;
- after a long diet;
- for the purpose of self-control and weight maintenance after losing weight.
Generally accepted rules
It is recommended to carry out the procedure according to the rules:
- no more than once a week, otherwise it can lead to a deterioration in your health;
- reduce the intensity of physical activity, because the body is already under stress and experiencing a lack of energy;

As soon as the unloading is completed, you should not immediately eat everything. The body is not yet ready for the updated diet and may experience digestion problems.

The most effective fasting days for weight loss
When choosing options for fasting days for weight loss, you need to remember that it’s not only about taste preferences, but also about the potential effect.
Preparation will help you unload correctly. You should not do the procedure immediately after a heavy meal, as you may feel very hungry. In order for the body to tune in, the last meal the day before should be light.
Fruit and vegetable
The simplest and most effective mini-diet day is spent on vegetables or fruits. Cucumber is a popular vegetable. The calorie content of the product is 15 kcal and contains tartronic acid, which slows down the digestion of carbohydrates. The daily norm is up to 2 kg without oil, sauces and salt. If it gets hard, you can add 2 boiled eggs.
For those with a sweet tooth, a fruit fasting day will appeal. The best season for this is summer and early autumn, when there is access to truly natural and fresh products.
Popular fruits:
- watermelons and melons;
- apples;
- plums and peaches;
- pineapples and grapefruits.
Kefir option
Fasting days on kefir are very easy, because the product is quite filling and prepares the body for a fasting diet. With the help of kefir, the intestinal microflora improves and the feeling of heaviness in the stomach goes away. Not suitable for people with lactose intolerance.
Directions for use: 6-7 glasses are consumed per day. It is recommended to choose only fresh product to avoid poisoning, diarrhea and flatulence.
Unloading with buckwheat or rice
Buckwheat is a complex type of carbohydrate that saturates the body for a long time and enriches it with vitamins and nutrients. The product must be whole, in kernels. Buckwheat will not work - the product has been processed, and this will speed up absorption and the appearance of hunger.
It is not necessary to cook the cereal; you can pour boiling water over it and leave it to simmer under the lid until it swells. You cannot add butter, milk or salt to the porridge. Portions are small but frequent.
Rice cleanses the body of toxins and removes excess water, gently coats the walls of the stomach and helps digestion.
Directions for use: choose a brown variety, boil one glass in 600 ml of water without adding sugar, sauces, salt or oil. Eaten in small portions.
Between meals you can drink tea without sugar and water. The weight on cereals comes off more slowly, but the feeling of hunger will not be critical.
Fasting days on the water
Water is the source of life. For the first time it will be difficult to last without food, but the most effective fasting days for losing weight are considered to be on water. Patience and self-control will help you see the desired result on the scale the next morning.
Directions for use: You can add lemon to water in the proportion of 1 liter of water: juice of 1 lemon. On a drinking day, consume at least 2.5 liters of the drink in small portions per day.
With cottage cheese or milk
Those who are losing weight all over the world know which fasting day is the most effective, satisfying and tasty - these are cottage cheese days! It is recommended to give preference to low-fat products from 0.6% to 2%.
Directions for use: 700 g of cottage cheese are divided into 5-6 servings and consumed throughout the day. You can add a few slices of apple. Between meals, drink tea without sugar or additives.
If there are no problems with the tolerance of dairy products, then you can only drink milk up to 2.5% fat. Portion per day – 2 liters in 6-7 divided doses. If an acute feeling of hunger occurs, in between eat an orange, grapefruit or a portion of cottage cheese.
Apple fasting days
Systematically including apples in your diet will help improve your well-being. Product advantages:
- contains fiber, which promotes weight loss;
- abundance of vitamins, microelements and organic acids;
- removes “bad” cholesterol from the body;
- stimulates metabolic processes.
Apples are considered a universal product for losing extra pounds. Microbiologists have proven that the product increases bacteria involved in digestion. If you have stomach upsets, it is recommended to avoid sour varieties to eliminate the risk of exacerbation of the disease.
Directions for use: Eat 1.5 kg of fresh or baked apples per day. The prepared product contains more pectin (adsorbent). Between meals you can drink tea without sugar and freshly squeezed apple juice.
Unloading with oatmeal
Oatmeal is a slow carbohydrate and has a low glycemic index, which means it will keep you feeling full for a long time and will not cause sudden spikes in blood sugar. Fiber from oatmeal will gently cleanse the intestines and improve digestion. It is recommended to choose long-cooked products or whole grains.
Directions for use: 200 g of cereal is boiled in water or low-fat milk diluted with water in a 1:1 ratio. Eat the prepared porridge a day in small portions.
The “well-fed” version of unloading involves a combination of two ingredients at once, so the unleavened porridge can be varied with berries or fruits.
Cucumber day: say no to swelling
Unloading on cucumbers will help cleanse the intestines. The addition of salt and spices is excluded; the peel of cucumbers cannot be peeled, as it contains fiber, which is important for losing weight. Practice with caution for people with gastritis, gastrointestinal disorders, kidney disease and high acidity.
Directions for use: Over the course of a whole day, you can eat up to 2 kg of fresh product, sprinkled with herbs and washed down with still water. Before going to bed, drink a glass of low-fat kefir. If you have an acute feeling of hunger in the first half of the day, you are allowed to eat 2 boiled eggs.
Protein fasting day: extended menu
The mini-diet is considered simple due to the lack of hunger. The menu on a protein day is varied - poultry, fish and seafood, lean meats, dairy products, legumes. The main condition is to adhere to small portions of food up to 200 g and an interval between meals of 4 hours. Not recommended for diabetes.
Menu option for 3 days:
| Day 1: mixed |
|
| Day 2: fish | Boil 600 g of lean fish fillet, divide into 6 servings, eat the day before. Between meals you can drink coffee and tea without sugar and milk, and still water. |
| Day 3: poultry and vegetables | Boil 500 g chicken fillet + 800 g vegetables. Between meals you can drink water (up to 2 liters). |
Tea unloading: from green to sea buckthorn
Another way to make drinking a fasting day healthier is to drink tea, which is rich in vitamins and microelements. The variety can be any: black, green, white, herbal infusions. It is better to be more careful with special formulations for weight loss and study the composition. It is recommended to drink the drink without sugar or other additives.
Tea relief is suitable for people with liver disease and problems with the biliary tract. A large volume of liquid fills the stomach, preventing the feeling of hunger from appearing.
Directions for use: Drinking 3 liters of liquid in several doses is allowed. You can also drink plain water.
Interesting combinations: mint, nettle, cranberry, sea buckthorn, lemon, apple, thyme.
Smoothie day
Smoothies, unlike juices, retain fiber after processing and gently cleanse the stomach - this is a physiological advantage, and the psychological advantage lies in the ability to deceive the body: smoothies can be eaten with a spoon, which takes longer. The brain perceives the dish as a full meal, and as a result, a feeling of fullness for a long time.
For people suffering from ulcers, gastritis and other gastrointestinal pathologies, it is recommended to give preference to products with low acidity.
Method of use: 5-6 doses of a mixture of fruits or berries are taken per day, adding milk or yogurt without additives with a fat content of 0.5% to 1.5% is allowed. Options are limited only by imagination and seasonality of ingredients.
Fasting day on grapefruit
Grapefruit is a storehouse of vitamin C and fiber. Suitable for those whose gastric acidity is low and is allowed for diabetes. The bitterness of the fruit will not allow you to eat a lot at one meal, which will be a plus during fasting. The method is contraindicated for gastritis, ulcers, high acidity, cholelithiasis.
Mode of application:
- Grapefruit + green tea : every hour alternately drink a glass of green tea and a glass of water with half a citrus.
- Grapefruit + chicken fillet : 600 g of boiled breast, divided into 5-6 portions, consumed with half the fruit.
Fasting days according to Malysheva’s method
TV presenter of health programs Elena Malysheva offers four menu options for unloading:
- “Brush” salad: carrots 500 g, celery 500 g, beets 500 g – grate raw ingredients on a coarse grater, mix, divide into 6-7 portions. Drink at least 2 liters of clean water between meals.
- Protein: skinless chicken carcass is boiled until tender without adding salt, the meat is removed from the bones and divided into 6-7 meals. Follow the drinking regime, as is the case with salad.
- Bitter: 5 pieces of grapefruit and 8 cups of green tea alternately consumed per day with an interval of 1 hour. The fruit can be divided into two parts to increase the number of servings and not make you hungry.
- Milk tea: boil 1.5 liters of milk with a fat content of 0.5 - 1.5%, add 3 tablespoons of green or black tea, let it brew. Drink in portions throughout the day.
To avoid additional stress on the body, it is better to choose comfortable and favorite foods.
Delicious fruit, berry and vegetable options
If you love fruits and berries, then you will definitely like these ways to unload. It’s delicious and what I like is that you don’t have to cook! But if you don’t mind tinkering in the kitchen, then make a mixed fruit salad or bake apples and pears. By the way, unloading on baked apples is an excellent solution for those whose stomachs do not cope well with raw fruits.
Vegetables are not as tasty, but they provide a huge field for imagination - from raw vegetable salads (I recommend “Brush”) to baked or steamed ones. Just remember that when unloading, you cannot use any dressings other than a drop of lemon juice !
Vegetable fasting days
Vegetables are the basis for any healthy diet, and they are also good for resting the body. If you don’t have problems with your stomach, then arrange a fasting day on vegetable salads; you can, of course, do some mono-option, for example, a fasting day on cucumbers. But why bother if the effect of properly prepared salads is almost the same. Cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, some fresh cabbage, lettuce and greens, bell peppers are an excellent basis for a daily menu to unload. The total amount of vegetables is no more than 2 kg.
Zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli, green beans - these are also quite acceptable for vegetable unloading. True, in their raw form it is difficult to come up with something edible from them, but in boiled form (for example, vegetable soups without oil, salt), or even baked, it is quite possible.
Even potatoes are suitable for a fasting day! True, only in baked form without additives and in the amount of 6-8 medium pieces. If these are new potatoes (here, by the way, about potatoes and food in general), then you can increase it to 15 pcs.
Apple unloading
Just apples once a week is as popular as kefir day. The effect is similar - the intestines are perfectly cleansed, a feeling of lightness and vigor is guaranteed, an average of 2 kg is lost per day! Or you can combine apples and kefir.
Only a fasting day on apples has many side effects:
- flatulence and bloating;
- diarrhea;
- acute feeling of hunger.
And if you also have gastritis, peptic ulcers, high acidity and sensitive tooth enamel, consider other options. As a last resort, try sitting on baked apples. The rules are simple:
- 1-1.5 kg of fruit (preferably sweet varieties);
- divide into 5-6 doses;
- drink about 2 liters of water;
- You can have green tea and brewed coffee without sugar.
Dedicated to banana lovers
It is generally accepted that losing weight and bananas are not compatible. They say there are a lot of carbohydrates and high calorie content. It's not all that scary, believe me! Bananas are perfect for a full carbohydrate fasting day. Yes, there won’t be a minus of 3 kg from them, a maximum of 1.5 kg. But you and I remember that fasting days are days that only help you effectively lose weight. And the weight that goes away after unloading is mainly water and intestinal contents, and not fat from the sides and abdomen. Therefore, feel free to buy a kilogram of ripe and tasty bananas and unload easily, satisfyingly and tasty.
The calorie content of 100 g of bananas is no more than 90 kcal, so there will definitely be a calorie deficit . Try to choose small fruits, then 5-6 bananas will come to 1 kg - it is convenient to divide them into the same number of meals.
Although these fruits do not have the highest glycemic index, people diagnosed with diabetes should still approach the decision thoughtfully and carefully.
Delicious detox on watermelon or melon
At the end of summer and beginning of autumn, a fasting day on watermelon won’t hurt, reviews and results are usually impressive - up to 3 kg minus ! Melon does not give the same effect, but close. This is explained primarily by the excellent diuretic properties of melons - all excess liquid comes out, swelling simply “melts”, and the kidneys and blood vessels are also cleansed. Well, it’s very tasty. In addition, problems with the gastrointestinal tract during watermelon unloading are a rare occurrence. But if you have kidney stones or sand, you need to be very careful with watermelons and melons.
You can eat up to 2 kg of watermelon or up to 1.5 kg of melon per day. Water, tea without sugar = this is not prohibited.
Pineapple unloading
Pineapple is the most popular fruit among those losing weight. It contains the famous bromelain, an enzyme that promotes the breakdown of fats. And yes - it really works, so unloading on pineapples for weight loss is very useful..
Just do not forget that this substance is found exclusively in fresh fruits - canned or any other fruits are not suitable for weight loss.
The amount of pineapple pulp per day is up to 1 kg. It is better to drink it with water, as the astringent taste spoils the whole picture a little.
How to end a fasting day
It is important to end the fasting day correctly:
- on the day of the mini-diet, the last intake should be drinking (a glass of water);
- the next morning before meals, drink a tablespoon of any unrefined vegetable oil to disperse bile stagnation;
- psychologically focus on the feeling of lightness after unloading, and not on the desire to eat;
- the range of products and quantity increases gradually;
- An express diet is not a reason to “reward” yourself with sweets for the work done after completion, otherwise your efforts will go down the drain - the lost weight will return, and even with extra weight due to simple carbohydrates.
Fasting days menu
You can independently arrange fasting days based on the selected products and your busy schedule. The main thing is to choose seasonal and high-quality products.
The post-fasting day can be organized as follows:
| Breakfast |

Useful tips
List of recommendations for losing weight:
- to make the process easier, fasting days should be considered as a challenge to yourself, and not as strict restrictions;
- when you don’t have enough strength to maintain a diet with one product, then you shouldn’t give up the process, just drink a couple of glasses of kefir or add another product;
- unloading on water is complex, frequency is 1-2 times a month;
- it is better to combine foods on “full” days according to the protein + carbohydrate principle, but this condition is not mandatory;
- “brush” salad can be seasoned with lemon juice or a spoonful of vegetable oil to eliminate heaviness and discomfort in the intestines;
- kefir and fruit act as the lightest combination, which is consumed in the form of a cocktail or separately;
- citrus fruits and fermented milk products are incompatible due to different acidity levels;
- light fasting days (combination of products): fish and vegetables, cereals and fruits, kefir and boiled potatoes, kefir and cottage cheese, cottage cheese and berries;
- drinking diets are considered the most difficult, so you need to prepare for them and prepare yourself mentally: kefir diet, milk tea or tea day, on water.
Fasting days for expectant and nursing mothers
Young mothers should avoid “starvation” diets that rely on one product. The best choice is mixed fasting days with several ingredients. When creating a menu, be sure to include cottage cheese or kefir.
All foods that can cause allergies are excluded from the diet, especially citrus fruits. The frequency of the procedure is once every 7-10 days.
Don’t forget that the body works for two people, so don’t limit yourself too much. Before carrying out, be sure to consult a doctor!
Unloading for gastrointestinal diseases
Fasting days are strictly prohibited during exacerbations and in severe forms of disease. It is not advisable to eat fresh berries, fruits and vegetables. Doctors recommend sticking to the consumption of heat-treated products.
Mono-diets are excluded, only “well-fed” options for fasting days are possible. The exception is a day on oatmeal, which is beneficial for the digestive tract. Frequency of use: 1 time every 7 days.
Fasting days cleanse the intestines and improve digestion - all this restores the body's protective functions, helps to lose weight or gives a boost during weight stagnation on a diet and increases vitality.
Before carrying out the procedure, you should definitely take into account contraindications and evaluate your strengths and capabilities so that the benefits of unloading do not turn into harm. Listen to your body and don’t forget that any event should be beneficial!
