Many girls and women, especially those with a pear-shaped figure, often face the problem of full legs. To solve this problem, there is a special diet, which, due to its focus, is called “grassroots”. This is a low-calorie diet with a strict menu, the effectiveness of which is about 5 kg per week of use, and the effect is focused on reducing the volume of the legs, hips and adjacent body parts.
Pros and cons of the grassroots diet
The benefits of the grassroots diet include:
- speed of weight loss,
- significant reduction in swelling,
- saturation of the diet with foods high in vitamins and minerals.
A relative disadvantage is that the diet involves several “half-starved” days. Also, although this dietary option is considered targeted, the mechanism by which the action is concentrated specifically on the lower part of the body remains unclear.
Grassroots diet menu
Several standard drinks are used in the diet:
- chocolate-milk - a drink made from warm skim milk with 3 cubes of dark chocolate dissolved in it);
- honey - a teaspoon of honey per 300 ml of melt water;
- honey-lemon - a teaspoon of honey and the juice of one lemon per glass of water.
Vegetable soup and salad are also used:
- vegetable soup - carrots and tomatoes - 0.5 kg and 1 kg of onion per 1.5 liters of water;
- vegetable salad - tomato, cucumber and onion - 1 pc.
