It’s vacation time. With the great exodus upon us, millions of Italians are preparing to leave, their suitcases are packed but (for some) the “dreaded” swimsuit test remains. For those who arrive in summer 2023 in less than perfect physical shape, a perfect last-minute diet will come to the rescue which will allow you to lose 5 kilos in three days. It should be emphasized that this type of diet does not allow lasting results but if the aim is to quickly lose those extra kilos, here is the solution. The Summer Flash Diet is a (definitely) poorly balanced low-calorie diet which for this reason cannot be extended for more than 3-4 days. So let’s see together the scheme and the menu to follow.
Summer Flash Diet: what you need to know
We’re not talking about a miracle, the Summer Flash Diet allows you to lose 5 kilos in three days but the results won’t last long. In order to lose weight in a healthy way, in fact, you need to change your quality of life, introduce constant physical activity and a balanced diet. This diet will allow you more than anything else to lose excess fluids and consequently to throw down a little weight but it will above all serve as a forerunner to a real food revolution. Being a very restrictive diet, it is not suitable for those suffering from various pathologies including diabetes or pregnant women.
The advice
Here are some tips to put into practice in order to benefit from the Summer Flash Diet. Never eat between meals. Eat 5 meals a day (breakfast, snack, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner). Don’t drink alcohol or sugary drinks. Drink lots of water and unsweetened herbal teas. Engage in moderate physical activity: even a walk is fine.
