A slimming program that smells of Tahitian Diet or Ecotism

Faithful to its origins, the Tahiti diet is an express diet, based on Polynesian food. It was designed by Tahitian dance teacher Jessica Azyadé, who said that Western food would largely favor overweight and obesity trends. Concerned with this phenomenon, she decided to develop a high protein diet, removing sugar in favor of proteins!

How it works ?

The Tahiti diet is an express diet, and therefore extends over a short period, namely 4 days. Depending on the total weight to lose, it is possible to continue for a month alternating 4 days of Tahiti diet and 3 days normal.

The following are prohibited: sugar, jams, sugary drinks, chocolate, cakes, alcohol, prepared meals, bread, rice, pasta and legumes. See the good side of things, a lighter cadi is a heavier wallet!

In contrast, are imposed: fish, non-fat meats, vegetables and fruits (antioxidants and full of vitamins!). For fruits the choice is wide but focuses on the less sweet: pineapple, watermelon, coconut, guava, raspberries, grapefruit or lemon. For drinks, the menus will be mainly based on water, tea, coffee or coconut milk.

Sample menu

Morning : 1 tea or 1 coffee without added sugar; 1 glass of soy milk; 200 grams of white cheese with 0% vanilla; a half grapefruit

Lunch : a salad of cucumber and tomatoes with lemon juice, salt and pepper; 200 grams of hake with coconut milk, lime zest with steamed zucchini, seasoned with curry; half a mango

Taste : A 0% white cheese

Dinner : A large plate of green salad; a half lawyer; tomatoes and 150 g shrimp; 100 grams of 0% white cheese; a ramequin of seasonal fruits

What advantages?

Rich in fiber, minerals and vitamins, the Tahiti diet promotes the sensation of lightness, tone and satiety. The loss of weight is estimated at 2 or even 3 pounds in 4 days (having no sugar in stock, the body is forced to draw in fat). Side health, it also lowers the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. And practical, recipes do not require preparation!

What are the disadvantages?

It is important not to follow the Tahiti diet more than 4 days, otherwise your body is exposed to vitamin B deficiencies because many healthy foods are not included in the recipes of this diet. This is why he must be punctual. Another disadvantage is the choice of food. Exotic for some, fish or fruit, they are not always easy to find. Moreover, this diet is disadvised to people suffering from obesity because it is not effective in the long term.

And after ?

At the end of the diet, pay attention to the traditional yoyo effect. Some specialists advise to perpetuate the diet in the long term, one day a week, to maintain weight.
