Diets: Days of Limited Calories Intake (General Info)

The first probable question concerning LCI days may be: 
Are these days good or bad for our health?
Most dietologists will answer that they are certainly good. It is obvious that you won`t be able to loose the extra-weight you have gained in the last weeks or months but there are some benefits proving that it is very good for nearly each of us to have such days once or twice a week. Among them are:
1. These days stimulate metabolism.
2. They quicken the processing of fat stored in one`s body.
3. The help remove dead, dying and diseased cells and toxic waste matter out of one`s organism.

There are three main aims of LCI days.
The first is to let our organisms have a rest from a huge amount of extra food we consume each usual day taking no care of how it affects our body.  
Secondly, LCI days are aimed at removing dead cells and toxins from our bodies.
The third aim is to facilitate the process of switching to rational eating rather than swallowing everything we see.

The rules to follow during these days:

1. You should avoid intensive physical or emotional tension during these days. Try to spend them in calm and peaceful atmosphere.

Diets: Basic Rules

I have been trying to loose weight for more than a year already. Well, I have succeeded but that is not enough, moreover, the New Year delicious dishes did their best... I have gained some 3 kilogrammes on.
So, it is high time I started my way from nearly the very beginning.
Today there is a huge amount of information about diets, healthy eating and so on. Having examined lots of different sources I came to the conclusion that there are some basic rules.
1. Still water! Plenty of water! 
I try to make it a rule to wake up and drink my first glass of water as soon as I come into the kitchen. Besides, I drink a glass 30 minutes before and after each meal. Water does help! It activates metabolism and washes toxins out. It is known that a person should drink as much as 2 litres of water per day.
2. Small but frequent portions!
I try to eat at least 4 times a day: first breakfast, second breakfast, lunch and supper. The ration varies each day but I always use a saucer (not a plate) so that to avoid overeating. 
3. Plan what you eat beforehand and stick to your plan.
