Now is the time to learn in detail what the British diet, also known as the English diet, is about and how to apply it, which is a special diet program that has been frequently used by those who want to lose weight quickly in a short time. The British diet, which is said to accelerate fat burning, speed up metabolism and make you lose weight in a short time, is here with all its pros and cons!

• What is the British Diet?

We can say that the British diet, which is one of the diet programs that has spread by word of mouth with the application of many world-famous names and has become even more popular in recent years, is basically a liquid diet applied with a special mixture inspired by British tea.

The British diet, in which solid food consumption is limited and drinks prepared with special recipes are consumed, also includes snacks.

Since plenty of very low-calorie liquids are consumed during the day, an average of 600 to 800 calories are taken in daily, thus creating a calorie deficit and accelerating the weight loss process.

The aim of the British diet is to create a detox effect in the body.

Black or green tea can be used in the recipes used during this diet.

However, it is not recommended to follow the British diet for more than a few days because it is very low in calories and very limited in terms of food variety.

• How to Follow the British Diet?

We have briefly learned what the British diet is, now it is time for the most important part: How to do the British diet, what is a sample British diet menu , etc. Let's explain it right away. The British diet basically has a recipe that you need to prepare at home. Here is how that recipe is prepared:

• British diet tea recipe

Materials:

2 liters of boiling water

2 teaspoons of green tea (black tea if you prefer)

2 cinnamon sticks or 1 level teaspoon cinnamon powder

3-4 small pieces of fresh ginger or 1 level teaspoon of powdered ginger

40-50 ml milk

How To?

Put 2 liters of water in a pot and boil it.

Add green tea, cinnamon and ginger pieces into boiled water. If you are using cinnamon powder and ginger powder, you can add them directly to the water.

Let the mixture brew for 3-4 minutes.

After brewing, strain the tea using a strainer.

Drink 1 glass of the tea you prepared every 2 hours.

Add 40-50 ml of milk to each glass of tea while drinking.

• Sample UK Diet Menu

We have learned how to prepare the tea recommended by dietitians and nutritionists specifically for the British diet, but are we going to drink only this tea all day? Of course not. We would like to show you what else you can eat/drink during the day by preparing a sample British diet menu. However, before moving on to our sample list, let us warn you: This list is prepared only to give you an idea, you should consult your dietitian, nutritionist and doctor about the diet program you want to implement and ensure that it is prepared in accordance with your own health. Remember, not every diet list is suitable for everyone, so be careful.

Now that we have made our warning, let's move on to what you need to know about the sample UK diet menu:

In this diet program, there are no 3 main meals as we are used to, but rather plenty of snacks that can be applied every 2 hours.

It is recommended that you drink the special British diet tea, the recipe of which we have given above, every 2 hours.

It is recommended that you eat 1 portion of seasonal fruit (such as orange, strawberry, tangerine) in 3 of the snacks during which you drink this tea.

It is also recommended that you eat 1 portion of raw nuts (such as raw almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts) between 2 meals when you drink this tea.

It is also said that you can increase the variety in each of your snacks, for example, if you eat nuts in one meal, you can eat fresh fruit in another, dried fruit in another, and different nuts in another.

In addition to all these, it is also recommended that you squeeze some fresh lemon juice into a small bottle of mineral water and drink it during the day.

• How Many Days Does the British Diet Take?

As you can see above, the British diet has a very strict nutrition program where very limited food sources are consumed. Therefore, this diet, which is claimed to make you lose 5 kilos in 2 days, is never recommended by dietitians, diet coaches, nutritionists and doctors for a long time. It is said that this diet should be completed in a maximum of 2 days, be careful. Do not try to apply this diet for more than 2 days just because it makes you lose weight, never go beyond your doctor's recommendations.

By the way, for those who want to apply this diet occasionally, it is said that after applying it for 2 days once, it can be applied again after at least 1.5-2 months, keep that in mind. Do not apply this diet, take a break for 1 week and apply it again, wait for at least 1.5-2 months to pass.

• What are the important points to know about the British diet?

We have learned the details of the England diet, also known as the British diet, but you should also know the following about this diet:

Do not think, "I already consume fluids all day on this diet, so I should reduce the amount of water I drink" and never forget to drink at least 2 liters of water during the day.

Do not forget that you can consume foods such as low-salt ayran, yogurt, kefir during the day throughout the diet program, and that you can feel full by eating low-calorie foods such as cucumber and lettuce.

You should remember that this and similar diets with strict rules will not provide sufficient protein, vitamin and mineral intake, and will result in muscle and water loss. You should never follow the diet for longer than the recommended number of days.

The tea and liquids consumed in the British diet have an edema-reducing effect on the body, but since this does not provide permanent weight loss, you should remember that even if you lose weight in a short time, you will regain weight in a short time.

If you have health problems such as diabetes, hypertension, hypothyroidism, kidney and/or liver failure, gout, or if you are a woman during pregnancy or breastfeeding, a child or the elderly, you should never follow the British diet.

Since foods such as green tea and ginger have a blood-thinning effect, those who have a problem such as blood clotting should never follow this diet.

Finally, keep in mind that this diet is not recommended for those who regularly take medication, follow a special diet, or have a serious/chronic illness.

A very important note: Do not start implementing any diet program, including the British diet, just because someone suggested it or because it is popular. If you want to implement a diet program, first consult your doctor and then a dietician and nutritionist, have all the necessary measurements and tests done and apply the nutrition programs and diets that your doctor/dietician will prepare specifically for you and that are suitable for your health. Let's say, this is health, it cannot be neglected.
