Effective diets for rapid weight loss

1. Orlova's diet
   Lyubov Orlov is a sex symbol of the thirties in the USSR. When she first appeared on the screen, all the women literally went crazy. It was a real madness: millions of young ladies dressed and cut their hair “under Orlov”. And her waist... All the women were jealous and wanted the same. There were rumors that the girth of the actress was only 43 centimeters. It was at that time that the famous diet Orlova appeared: the secret thanks to which the actress maintained her slimness. It is not a fact, of course, that the author of the diet was the actress herself, and the fact that she adhered to it is also doubtful. But the popularity of this diet was not equal.
   
   
   
   
   
   The diet was really extreme: two meals a day, namely: for breakfast a piece of bread and two eggs, for lunch - a little vegetables and 200 g of meat. The diet is extremely poor, and in addition, twice a week it was necessary to do fasting days on the water and without food. This version of the diet was common until the war, and in the sixties appeared a more gentle option.
   
   This option suggested 4-5 meals, a more balanced menu and no fasting. In the diet at the same time, fish and meat were completely absent, and it was forbidden to eat all fried and fatty. Then there was a special rule: porridge can only be eaten in the morning.
   
   For each product, there was a time of day: breakfast - porridge, lunch - vegetable soups, for afternoon you could eat some dairy products or fresh vegetables, and for dinner - fruits.
   
   Example menu
   
   Breakfast: Buckwheat porridge with raisins.
   Lunch: soup with beans without roasting and with bread.
   Afternoon: green salad with cucumber and cheese.
   Dinner: fruit salad.
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Table 8
   The USSR is a country where diets and healthy food were practiced at the state level. In 1930, the Institute of Nutrition was created, which was engaged in the development of diets for different categories of people. There were also created the famous "tables" - diets used in the treatment of various diseases. One of them was table number 8 for the treatment of obesity. Soviet nutritionists proposed to reduce calories consumed to 1,800 per day. To do this, the amount of fat and carbohydrates consumed was reduced, and food was served without salt and pepper, with a small amount of spices. Fried food was also banned. The meal was divided into 5-6 times a day.
   
   Table No. 8 had a number of prohibited products: baked goods and confectionery, fatty meat, sausages, canned food, fatty fish, all fatty dairy products, soups with cereal, potatoes, beans and pasta, rice, oatmeal, ice cream, sugar, honey, sweet berries and fruits, any sauces, cocoa and juices with sugar.
   
   Example menu
   
   In the morning: low-fat cottage cheese and vegetable salad.
   After 2-3 hours: a few apples.
   Lunch: Lenten borscht, in which you can add a little sour cream, separately boiled meat with a side dish (stewed cabbage).
   Afternoon: low-fat kefir.
   Dinner: Boiled fish and vegetable salad.
   Before bed: milk.

3. Plisetskaya Diet
   This diet appeared in the sixties, and its authorship was attributed to the great ballerina of the twentieth century - Maya Plisetskaya. Whether that's true is hard to say. In one of the interviews, Plisetskaya, on the question of how to preserve the form, answered simply: “I’m not sitting there eating!” Indeed, the diet is very strict, however, among women at the time it was extremely popular. For long-term use, such a diet is not suitable, but a week is just right. The unloading part of the diet lasts seven days and involves three meals a day. Snacks were allowed, but only in the form of fresh vegetables and unsweetened fruits. Given the constant rehearsals, ballerinas managed to lose weight quite significantly this week. It is clear that with a more relaxed lifestyle, less will go away.
   
   
   
   
   
   After the fasting diet, it was proposed to change the usual diet, including more low-calorie foods and increasing the amount of fish, fresh fruits and vegetables. It was recommended to increase the amount of fish in the diet and abandon salt.
   
   Menu for the fasting week
   
   Breakfast: 100g of oatmeal on the water.
   Lunch: 150 g of vegetable soup, 100 g of vegetable salad.
   Dinner: 30g baked fish, 60g rice and 100g fresh vegetables.
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. Diet on parsley
   In the fifties, when the country had already recovered from the war, the issues of healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition began to worry women again. Slender figures, like Lyudmila Gurchenko, captured the minds of the girls. And the search for ways to quickly lose weight began. But there was no information, and the fight against excess weight took on wild forms: vinegar, castor, weekly fasting. That's when the monodiet came along. Their essence was simple: only one product in the diet. Among others, the parsley diet became popular. We talked about how parsley helps to lose weight, but not so dramatically. Not the leaves were used, but the root of the plant in grated form. During the diet was allowed to eat cheese, cottage cheese, meat, eggs and kefir, but in small quantities. The basis of the diet was the root of parsley.
   
   The menu looked something like this.
   
   Breakfast: tea or coffee and a tablespoon of grated parsley root.
   Lunch: 100 g of boiled meat and another spoonful of parsley.
   Afternoon: 100 g of cottage cheese or cheese and a little more parsley.
   Dinner: You can treat yourself to a glass of kefir.
   
   It is worth noting that this diet was not suitable for everyone, and it was too radical.

5. Kremlin Diet
   This diet appeared in the USSR at the dawn of the 70s. The system is quite simple: you can eat an unlimited amount and any amount of food, but within 40 points. Each product had its own score. The lowest score was in meat, eggs, and the highest in carbohydrate products. Thus, the amount of carbohydrates consumed decreased, so the process of losing weight occurred.
