The Carrot Diet

Carrots are nutritional heroes, they store a goldmine of nutrients. No other vegetable or fruit contains as much carotene as carrots, which the body converts to vitamin A.

This is a truly versatile vegetable and an excellent source of vitamins B and C as well as calcium pectate, an extraordinary pectin fibre that has been found to have cholesterol-lowering properties.

The carrot is  rich in mineral salts and vitamins (B,C,D,E). Carrots also contain, in smaller amounts, essential oils, carbohydrates and nitrogenous composites. They are well-known for their sweetening, antianaemic, healing, diuretic, remineralizing and sedative properties.

But the carrot diet is very hard to take it. That is why my advice you is – if you feel that you are ready to do that – do that in the right way.

First of all, you have to be realistic about the progress you can make, then prepare your organism to it – several days before the diet try to eat less fat food, drink more still water, no alcohol, coffee, sweets are allowed! Then you may start the carrot diet.

During all diet you will have the carrot. This may insanely annoy for these 4 days, which should be observed in the carrot diet, but as the reward you will lose 3-4 kilos. Carrot diet lasts for 3 days, and on day 4 – way out of the diet.

During the diet we eat salad of carrots 3-4 times a day :

1-2 carrots on a coarse grater, add lemon juice, a little vegetable oil, a little honey (total daily rate of honey should not exceed 1 tablespoon), a choice of 1 fruit (kiwi, apple, grapefruit, pomegranate or orange).

Eat this amount of food for 1 time (except for honey). Number of carrots – without any restrictions.

In the morning you can drink half a glass of kefir or milk, or eat a spoonful of sour cream. This is due to the fact that without the fat carrots are very poorly absorbed.

If you’re tired of salad, then instead of it in the evening you can drink carrot or any other fruit juice.

During the day drink water or green tea (total amount – at least 2 liters).

Leaving the carrot diet lasts 1 day. On that day, you eat the same thing as during the diet, but you may eat also 2 steamed potatoes and 200 grams of steamed meat.

Then, a couple of days limit yourself in fatty and sweet foods.
