This 21-day British diet is really popular because it’s incredibly efficient. It allows losing 10 – 18 kilograms. Furthermore, this diet is pretty easy to deal with and doesn’t require a lot of financial expenses.
MAIN PRINCIPLES OF THE BRITISH DIET
The idea of the British diet is to alternate the protein and the vegetable day. This option is more convalescent for the body in comparison with single product diets where people have to eat only similar products.
British diet is one of the most reliable and trusted because it lasts for 21 days, which is enough to change the working mode of your body, adapting it to the new level of calorie intake.
Contrary to the popular “Give your dinner to the enemy” principle, the highest number of calories are contained in dinners, while the breakfast is the lightest one. So if you really like to eat at night, then this diet is definitely for you! Don’t forget that the last time for your dinner is 7 PM.
This flexible diet is the best choice for people who don’t really like strict rules and limits, as well as for those who prefer following a long-term plan. It’s not recommended to keep the British diet as your basic nutrition plan, because it has no salt, and will make your body stressed. We kindly advise you to use this diet not often than once per year.

EDITORIAL STAFF ADVICE
Like all other diets with limited calorie intake, the British diet can’t provide your body with the full set of required vitamins and minerals. It’s recommended to take a polyvitaminic complex during the diet.
In order to keep the weight after the end of the diet, you need to return to normal nutrition very slowly, eventually increasing the daily intake of calories. It’s recommended to eat 200 grams of cottage cheese on a daily basis in 10 days after the diet.
