Summer diets – lose weight with cucumbers
So, the first cucumbers will appear on store shelves and markets – the most delicious, sweet and very healthy. Everyone knows that cucumbers are an ideal product for a diet, because their total calorie content is 14 kcal. After all, a cucumber is 99% water and one percent vegetable fiber. But in cucumbers there is a lot of plant fiber, potassium, calcium, iodine, magnesium, zinc, iron, phosphorus, vitamins B, A, C, E, PP, aromatic substances and various mineral enzymes. And most importantly – cucumbers are perfectly absorbed by our body. Therefore, in anticipation of the cucumber season, it’s time to remember the cucumber diet.
Cucumber diet lasts seven days, for which you can lose up to 5 kg. It should be remembered that their ability to cause increased urination has a cleansing effect on the whole organism as a whole, forcing the withdrawal of harmful metabolic products. The low-calorie content of cucumbers allows you to eat them without any restrictions, so a fairly large number of cucumbers are included in the daily diet menu – you eat and lose weight!
During a cucumber diet, salt intake should be eliminated or minimized. If your cucumbers seem too fresh without salt, add lemon juice with spices to the dressing. It is also advisable to use any fresh herbs, for example, parsley, dill, spring onions, and others. Since cucumbers contain a large amount of water, there is no need to consume excess liquid – but green tea and mineral still water are welcome from drinks.
