The principle of three-day apple weight loss

The principle of three-day apple weight loss is to control calorie intake through a short-term single diet, utilizing the low calorie and high dietary fiber characteristics of apples to promote excretion and reduce fat accumulation. Apples are rich in pectin and water, which can increase satiety, but this method lacks protein and essential fatty acids, making it only suitable for short-term emergency use. Apples contain only 52 calories per 100 grams, far below the daily dietary intake. Pectin swells when it comes into contact with water, occupying space in the stomach and slowing down hunger, while promoting intestinal peristalsis and helping to expel fecal matter. The organic acids in apples can stimulate the secretion of digestive juices and increase the basal metabolic rate by about 10% -15% in a short period of time. A high potassium content helps balance electrolyte imbalances caused by dieting, but cannot completely replace normal dietary nutrition. Single intake for three consecutive days can lead to muscle loss, and the basal metabolic rate may decrease by about 20% on the fourth day.

It is recommended to use this method in conjunction with a multivitamin supplement, with a daily water intake of no less than 2000 milliliters. After completion, it is necessary to gradually restore the diet and prioritize supplementing high-quality protein such as eggs, fish, etc. Long term weight loss still requires a balanced diet combined with exercise, and the interval between single uses should not be less than two months. In case of dizziness, palpitations and other hypoglycemic symptoms, the method should be stopped immediately, and patients with diabetes and digestive system diseases should not use this method.
