Do you know about the 13-day diet?

There are many types of diets, but when it comes to losing weight in a short time, the 13-day diet is definitely the most well-known. Have you heard about this famous regimen? Here’s more information. The 13-day diet was originally created in the 1960s to prepare astronauts before their space missions. However, its results were so remarkable that it gradually gained popularity among the public. As its name suggests, this regimen is based on a quite strict two-week plan. To follow this diet, you must strictly adhere to the instructions: respect the quantities, do not substitute foods, and drink at least two liters of water a day. Menu for one week (repeat during the second week after finishing it) Day one: Breakfast: black coffee Lunch: 3 hard-boiled eggs with tomatoes and vegetables Dinner: 200 g of grilled meat and lettuce   Day two: Breakfast: black coffee Lunch: 200 g of grilled meat and lettuce Dinner: 150 g of lean cooked ham and a skimmed yogurt   Day three: Breakfast: black coffee and toasted bread Lunch: tomato and celery salad and one mandarin or orange Dinner: 2 hard-boiled eggs, 100 g of lean cooked ham, and lettuce   Day four: Breakfast: black coffee and toasted bread Lunch: one hard-boiled egg, 3 carrots, and 150 g of lean cooked ham Dinner: fruit salad and one skimmed yogurt   Day five: Breakfast: black coffee and toasted bread Lunch: 200 g of steamed fish and one tomato Dinner: 250 g of grilled meat   Day six: Breakfast: black coffee and toasted bread Lunch: ¼ of a chicken and lettuce Dinner: 2 hard-boiled eggs and a bowl of grated carrots   Day seven: Breakfast: black coffee Lunch: 250 g of grilled meat and one orange Dinner: choose from the previous dinners   As you can see, the 13-day diet is quite repetitive and restrictive. This is why many people struggle to complete it. Between the monotony of foods and the small portions, it is challenging to stick to the 13 days of the diet. Although for many years the NASA diet (as it is also known) was one of the most popular because it promised a weight loss of 10 kilos in two weeks, over time it has lost followers due to the potential impact on health. Being a low-calorie diet, it causes an imbalance in the body and can also lead to the dreaded rebound effect.
