Actress Elena Vorobey after the may holidays traditionally sat on the “green” diet. “I frequently use this method of recovery and in preparation for beach season, and when slightly overeat during the holidays, — says Elena. — Of course, previously I consulted with doctors and they allowed me to follow this diet. Some people, for example, with stomach problems, such a diet can only do harm. And for me “green” diet — the good: it changed my metabolism, the body began to actively use existing fat cells, converting them. So after a week a few pounds I always take off.

The meaning of the diet in the consumption of products mostly green. Other not very high-calorie foods you can gradually complement the “green” base (I, for example, I love salad and can’t abandon), but the pork, rice, bananas, butter, sour cream, corn, buckwheat and sugar should be avoided. Green foods — fruits and vegetables — can be eaten in large quantities, so hunger does not arise (and this is the main problem faced by all who sit on a diet). Green products have a negative calorie content on their processing of the body spends much more energy than they bring him. With this diet carbohydrates come in the form of fiber, which the body is unable to fully digest, but it has a lot of vitamins and minerals, which does not happen when protein or low-carb diets. In addition, to comply with such a diet easily even with the active lifestyle — fruits and vegetables you can always take with you.

Food should be 5-6 times a day small portions. For Breakfast — low-fat cottage cheese, yogurt, egg, Apple (green), or grapes. Lunch — 200 grams of boiled chicken breast or fish, steamed, fresh salad of green vegetables with olive oil. Before bedtime can drink a glass of low-fat yogurt. For snacking it is best to use apples (green), kiwi or grapes.”
