Principles of the Japanese salt-free diet for weight loss and its menu
The most basic principle of a salt-free diet is a complete lack of salt in the food. This means that from the ration for 14 days all purchased ready-made meals are excluded (except for one rye cracker, sometimes allowed for breakfast), because they contain salt, and, naturally, canned food, sausages. In addition, the salt-free diet completely removes sugar, alcohol , foods containing starch, fatty meat, fried and smoked foods from the diet.
The menu for a 14-day salt-free diet for health and weight loss mainly consists of their vegetables and fruits, lean meat and fish, but has several variations. A simplified version of the diet for those who do not like to cook, looks like this:
- in the first 3 days you can eat only boiled chicken breast - 500 g;
- the second three-day period should be dedicated to boiled fish, also 500 g per day;
- during the third three-day trip, you can eat porridge on the water (with the addition of a small amount of milk in the prepared dish), you need to cook porridge from 250 grams of cereals;
- the fourth three-day period - vegetables (without potatoes) in any form, 1-2 kg per day;
- in the last two days of the diet you can eat fruits (except for sugar-containing bananas and grapes) for 1-2 kg.
For breakfast these days you can drink natural grain coffee with a small cracker. During the day you should drink clean water.
And so looks like a full menu of Japanese salt-free diet for 14 days (the cycle is repeated twice):
- Day one (eighth). Morning - coffee (cereal). Day - cabbage salad (greased with vegetable oil), 2 eggs, tomato juice. Evening - fish (boiled or baked), cabbage salad.

What is the danger of a salt-free diet?

With complete elimination of salt from the diet, there may be a deficit of some micro- and macroelements, as well as a metabolic disorder. In some cases, when observing a salt-free diet, unpleasant side effects are observed - weakness, nausea, pressure decrease, digestive disorders. It is very undesirable to start a salt-free diet in the hot summer months - the body is already losing a lot of salt along with sweat.
