The diet got its name because this diet is widely used in Holland. The recipe is simple – a “cereal” breakfast, a light lunch and a full dinner.
What is the Dutch diet?
To begin with, we note that this diet is recommended for people who prefer a tasty and satisfying meal. It is quite easy, as the diet contains a variety of products. The diet is designed in such a way that you need to eat six times a day, while portions are not at all small. So you don’t have to go hungry.
The diet takes one week. If you want, then the diet can be extended. During this time, you can lose from 2 to 7 kilograms you don’t need, but this figure will depend directly on your initial weight. It must be remembered that you can lose weight more actively if you can combine diet and exercise in some kind of sport.
The only difficulty in following the Dutch diet is the diet itself. This is the high cost of some dishes, the dishes are unusual and require a long time to cook. Therefore, the Dutch diet is designed specifically for gourmets who know how to cook and have the time to do so.
The diet menu is balanced and thought out. It contains all the substances necessary for a person (carbohydrates, proteins, fats, as well as vitamins and trace elements).
