Divine Body: 9 Facts About the Angel Diet.

There are several versions of how this weight loss method got its name. And divine providence has absolutely nothing to do with it. One of the popular theories is that this is the diet that Victoria's Secret top models, "inspired" by the idea, eat before their famous fashion show. (Among its followers are, so to speak, retired angels - Helena Christensen and Tyra Banks.) According to another version, the name of the diet comes from the collection of recipes "Angel Food: Healthy Recipes for Divine Bodies" by raw food chef Cherie Soria. The book contains formulas for preparing light and harmless dishes for the figure with step-by-step instructions.

Breathe a sigh of relief: the dreary counting and control of calories has nothing to do with the angel diet. In the case of "angels", weight loss occurs due to strict portion control and a diet with a predominance of protein. It is generally accepted that against the background of meager carbohydrates and active proteins, you can burn fat without losing muscle mass, not starve and feel full with smaller portions. If you honestly follow the schedule, your metabolism will change, which means the effect will be long-term.

According to statistics, most women who responded to our request "diet angels reviews" followed this diet for 13 days and lost 4 to 8 kilograms. An excellent unloading before the upcoming holidays, if you decide to start right now. Nutritionists warn: such severe "tests" can be carried out no more than once a year and with the permission of a doctor.

What is left off the angel's menu is the necessary liquid. Experts recommend not to give yourself non-carbonated mineral or table water at room temperature. It is especially helpful in moments of approaching hunger in the first days of a strict regime. Remember the basic rules: do not drink during or immediately after eating, but wait about an hour. Note: they say that 10-12 hours before the show, models are not recommended to drink liquids at all, so that their bodies look more defined.

"Universal evil", according to the developers of the angel diet, is sugar, essentially the only product that is absolutely forbidden to consume during the entire period of losing weight. Lock the sugar bowl. The presence of a solid amount of meat in the diet will scare off vegetarians. When preparing meals (even if we are talking about fresh salads), it is recommended to limit salt and seemingly harmless olive oil.

Of course, the "angels" are not limited to just a special diet. To improve the results of the diet, think over a plan of physical activity: aerobics and strength training at least twice a week. Food + sports + ... The third missing link in the pursuit of model parameters is a weekly drainage massage of the body.

The meal plan for future angels is detailed for a week. It can be repeated for another six days if the results on the scales still do not satisfy you. Diet adherents claim that most of the excess weight goes away during the first week, and during the second it is fixed.
