The diet resolves around cucumbers – you can eat this incredible vegetable as much as you like and whenever you’re feeling hungry. Cucumbers contain a variety of important nutrients that can clean your body of toxins, boost your metabolism and clean up your intestines. Cucumbers are a powerful diuretic as well that can remove excess water from the body. The vegetable is great for your skin as well, which is why many cosmetic products contain it.

Here’s how the diet plan looks like:

Breakfast: slice 200 gr. of cucumbers and add them to a cup of low-fat yogurt, and eat an apple or a few peach slices if you’re still hungry.

Lunch: for lunch, you’ll need to take a bowl of cucumber salad and a piece of bread. Alternatively, you can prepare the following recipe:

Ingredients:

– 1 cucumber
– 2 potatoes
– 300 gr. of fresh fruits
– Tea or coffee with no sugar

Preparation:

Start by boiling the potatoes or baking them, your choice. Eat them with some slices of whole wheat bread and a sliced cucumber. Later as a snack, you can cut up some fresh fruits and make a fruit salad. Also, for a drink, you can consume coffee or tea but without any sugar.

Another recipe you could try is:

– 3 slices of whole wheat bread / 2 potatoes
– 150 g of tuna / 2 eggs or 15 g white meat
– Cucumber

Whether you choose potatoes or bread, it is up to you, but you can eat either of them with some tuna and a sliced cucumber. Besides, if you dislike the taste of tuna, grill the white meat without oil and eat it with some boiled eggs.

Cucumber Shake

In between meals you can always drink cucumber shake. There is no limited amount. Here is what you need to make it:

Ingredients:

– A handful of spinach
– 20 g of almonds and walnuts
– 1 apple
– Ginger
– 1 cucumber

Preparation:

Wash the ingredients well and mix them in a blender, then top the smoothie with crushed almonds. Drink it fresh for a healthy amount of important vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, C, B and K, as well as calcium, iron, magnesium and fiber.

Dinner: 300 gr. of fruit salad.

The diet allows drinking only water, coffee and tea with no sugar. Of course, you need to exercise for its duration as well, and eat a healthy diet as well. Here are some exercises which will optimize the weight loss process:

HIIT-training (side plank, single-leg deadlift, plank with arm raise, etc.)

– 3 minutes at 50% of your maximum effort;
– 20 seconds at 70%;
– 10 seconds of your absolute effort.

Side plank

Lie on the side with your knees straight and lift your body up on one elbow and forearm. Now, lift the hips off the ground until you form a straight line, hold the position for 30 seconds and repeat it on the other side.

Plank with arm raise

Go into a pushup position and bend your elbows, resting your whole weight on the forearm. Now, squeeze your core and raise your right arm in front of you while keeping your shoulder blades down and your arms elevated. Hold the position for up to 10 seconds before switching your arms.

Single-leg deadlift

Stand up on your left foot and take a pair of dumbbells in your hands, then lift your right foot behind you and bend the knee until it’s parallel to the floor. Now, bend forward at your hips and lower your body down. Hold the position for a few seconds, then go back to the starting position and repeat.

Step ups

Stand in front of a bench and put your left foot up, then press it down and push yourself up until your left leg is straight. Slowly lower your body down until you touch the floor with the right foot and repeat the exercise a few times.

Bridge

Lie on the back on the floor and bend your knees, then lift your hips until you create a straight line with your body. Hold the position for a few seconds, then go back to the starting position.

Push ups

Go down on the floor on all fours with your feet close to each other and your hands on the floor in line with your shoulders. Lower your body as much as you can, then go back up and repeat the process about 10 times.

This amazing routine, paired with the diet from above will get you in shape in only 10 days!
