During the second 3 days - 1 kg of boiled breast without skin and salt. The last 3 days - 1 kg of vegetables. Focus on whites and greens (cabbage, onions, zucchini, cucumbers, herbs). You can take 200 grams of red ones (tomatoes, carrots, beets). Half of them should be consumed raw, half – heat-treated.

• Option 4. With rice and apples

• Option 2. Gentle

With vegetables

Plant fiber accelerates the digestion of fats and promotes better protein absorption. Therefore, a diet based on chicken breast and vegetables is considered one of the most effective. It is easily tolerated, designed for 7 days, but can last a whole month, provided that the menu is varied and includes a small amount of fat (for example, vegetable oil).

Vegetables can be anything, but it’s better not to take potatoes and corn. Loss - 3-4 kg per week and about 10 per month. If you choose a long fast, unsweetened fruits, rice and buckwheat are allowed (rarely and in small quantities).

• With cabbage

A diet based on chicken and cabbage gives good results: you lose 700-800 grams per day, you don’t feel hungry, there are a huge number of food options. Sample menu for the day:
