It can be called one of the most fashionable express diets. Despite the fact that «Japanese» does not refer to the country’s of the rising sun, it’s actually working, removing not just excess kilos, but also extra inches.

The popularity of this diet that promises a loss of entire 8 kilos in two weeks, can be explained, firstly, by psychological causes. You will have to last only 13 days. An idea that the result will remain a minimum of 2-3 years sounds especially tempting.

During the diet you should use only sticks!

In fact, you should treat prevention that «Japanese» should not be repeated too often very seriously - otherwise there is a risk of harm to health.

Secondly, as practice shows, even if at the end of 14 days of «marathon of harmony» you will find out  that miracle has not happened, and 5 of 8 kilograms are still with you, the result will still be enjoyable, as volumes in problem areas will be reduced.

Diet

Diet lasts 13 days. Starting from 8 day you should repeat menu of first 7 days in reverse order. On day 8 you need to eat the same as on the 6th  day, 9 - on 5th, 10 - 4th, 11 the same as on 3rd, the diet of 12th day is similar to day 2, and 13th - 1. You can sprinkle food with lemon juice.

Tip: Try to use only sticks and tiny dishes and plates. It is psychologically easier to be sated with one small, but full dish, than a lonely handful of food (even of required amount) in a corner of a huge dish. Sticks can help stretching the process of eating, the brain will have more chances to get a desired «I am full» signal from the stomach.
