What is drying and why is it needed? Drying the body: menu, stages and nutritional rules

Greetings, gentlemen and especially ladies! Today we have a purely female article, and it will be devoted to the following topic - drying the body for girls.

After reading, every lady will know what drying is, what this process consists of, and also what drying postulates exist. In addition, we will consider the practical side of the issue, i.e. a specific training program and diet for muscle development.

So, key to start, let's go.

Body drying for girls. What, why and why?

Well, April has arrived, which means that it’s about to come...summer. In anticipation of this event, gyms are simply swollen with the number of visitors wanting to get themselves into proper beach shape. Well, because... There are a lot more young ladies going to the gyms and there is much less information on them on the Internet than for men, so I decided to cover an extremely relevant topic called body drying for girls. Most likely, the note will have two (or maybe 3 or 4 ) parts, so I warn you in advance - get ready to read :). Actually, let's get to the point...

Note:

All further narration on the topic, drying the body for girls, will be divided into subchapters.

Are drying and losing weight the same thing?

Due to the scarce information regarding giving the body a sculpted appearance, many young ladies (and not only) do not understand the conceptual apparatus precisely and often equate drying with losing weight. However, these are two completely different processes.

Drying – baked goods made from the process of muscle manifestation by reducing the level of subcutaneous fat to a certain percentage ( 8-12% ) . Its main goal is to bring the muscles to the first place, i.e. cutting them out from under the fat mass. Weight loss is a general loss of body weight, and not necessarily just fat. The goal of losing weight is, for example, to fit into your prenatal (or just loved ones in youth) jeans, and not by pushing and compacting your body, but by entering smoothly, like clockwork :).

Drying the body involves carrying out the following work preceding this process:

• strict adherence to a mass-gaining training program in a certain number of repetitions and approaches;
• increased caloric intake to help maintain an anabolic environment for growth;
• development (in a certain ratio) adipose and muscle tissue.

In other words, drying the body for girls is not a momentary “I want to dry out quickly for the summer”, it is the young ladies consciously taking certain steps and restructuring their diet at the right time and adjusting the training program. It follows that muscle drying is not a process for everyone, and it is often inappropriate to carry it out with only one goal - to go to the beach beautifully several times, because the game is not worth the candle. Of course, if your life involves constant photo shoots, beach events and relaxation, then drying is for you. If the goal is 1 once a year for 2-3 If you go on vacation to a warm country for a week and show off your curves there, then keep in mind that the time spent and effort spent on getting yourself into a dried form do not correlate with the time it takes to demonstrate it.

Therefore, I warned you, and you decide whether the game is worth the candle! If it’s worth it, then we move on.

So, as you already understand, drying the body implies the initial presence of total mass - both muscle and fat, otherwise the process will resemble bone carving. I mean, what if a girl weighs 45 kg with height 175 cm, then there can be no talk of any drying here. The optimal starting material for a girl 170 cm tall is a weight of 60 kg and the corresponding ratio of fat to muscle mass. In particular, the initial level of subcutaneous fat should be within 20-25% .

It is also important to remember that burning muscles is much easier than fat, so during the drying period they need qualitative and quantitative nutritional and strength support. Muscle is an energy-consuming structure, while adipose tissue consumes much less calories. Therefore, the goal of cutting is to simultaneously preserve muscle and get rid of fat.

What is drying? Mechanism for creating a relief body

Drying is based on a set of special measures aimed at reducing the percentage of fat mass in the body to a certain level. Often this level (in 8-12% ) allows you to significantly express your muscles and see the treasured abs.

Drying measures include:

• following a specific strategy for cutting carbohydrates;
• drinking more water;
• reducing NaCl in the diet;
• increased lean protein intake;
• intake of sports nutrition products: BCAA amino acids, protein (isolate, hydrolyzate), fat burners;
• reorientation of training from heavy strength to isolated, high-repetition, block-training exercises.

The drying process itself is tied to manipulations with carbohydrates. They are the most affordable and fastest way to replenish energy in the body. And the main player in energy processes is glucose. All carbohydrates (simple and complex) are broken down in the human stomach under the influence of various substances involved in digestive processes. The breakdown of carbohydrates is a complex biochemical process that results in the formation of a monosaccharide chain called glucose. For better absorption of glucose, the body needs the transport hormone insulin, secreted by the pancreas.

Excess carbohydrates

When you eat carbohydrates, the body enters an intense mode of increasing and storing glucose. It begins to quickly accumulate in muscle fibers and liver cells, forming a reserve of such substances in the form of a glycogen depot. If the control of carbohydrates is not moderate and the latter continue to enter the body, and their quantity exceeds the norm, and the muscle fibers and liver cells are “clogged” with glycogen, then glucose is converted into fat. This excess fat is stored in fat cells, adipocytes. This process is reversible, so if the body lacks glucose, it takes it from glycogen. Once the source is exhausted, the production of glucose from fat cells begins. The process of breakdown/destruction of fats (lipolysis) is complex and requires significant energy expenditure.

Lack of carbohydrates

With acute glucose deficiency, the process of fat breakdown is not complete, and under-digested residues and ketone bodies accumulate in the body, the blood becomes acidic, which leads to the development of ketoacidosis. To suppress this process, burn ketones and help the body, you need to refuel with carbohydrates. Otherwise, poisoning and intoxication of the body increases, and the person may fall into a coma.

Conclusion: “no carbohydrates” really leads to the breakdown of fats, but it is dangerous because... leads the body to ketoacidosis.

Body drying for girls: features

The process of drying the body is (to a greater extent) not a way to rid the body of excess fluid, it is an effective method of burning fat, the main source of energy in which carbohydrates are. The female body is more sensitive (than the male) to various biochemical changes that occur in it. Therefore, it is important here not to go too far, leading him to exhaustion/coma, and to load the body with carbohydrates (including simple ones) in a timely manner. Another feature is the presence of the original drying material, i.e. muscle mass - it should be there. Due to the fact that ladies are not used to working in a strength style and free weights, it will be necessary to move from fitness-toning training to mass-building training by selecting a special training program.

The cutting training program for girls involves a large number of repetitions and light weights due to the fact that their (your) body better tolerates long-term loads (more endurance) due to the predominance of slow red ones.

Step #1. Arithmetic

It is important to understand even before starting drying procedures what kind of body (with what composition) can be obtained at the output. And a simple example and arithmetic will help us figure this out. Suppose we have a girl Christina weighing 60 kg, height 175 cm and percentage of subcutaneous fat 20% . The task is to determine the weight at 10% fat and maintaining the current muscle mass gained.

The table below shows the basic arithmetic for achieving your ideal weight.

Note:

Net muscle mass is a conditional value that reflects the weight of muscles, bones, blood, and organs, excluding fat.

As you can see, the weight should be 54,3 kg, i.e. need to lose fat mass 6 kg.

Step #2. Keeping a food diary

Losing fat mass while maintaining muscle mass is, first of all, a matter of the right approach to nutrition. The energy balance equation states that if you eat fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight. Otherwise, mass gain will occur. Therefore, you will have to count calories, both total for the day and for each meal.

Here's what it might look like.

I don’t argue that it’s a hassle, but no one said it would be easy. To make it easier for you to calculate KBZHU, you can use specialized counting programs or online calculators on the website, for example, this one.

Having such a table at hand, you will be able to manage your diet and the ratio of its micronutrients, changing their amount depending on changes in your figure (decrease/increase in fat mass). The main rule when cutting is an increased dose of protein. Remember, lean protein should account for the majority of (from 40 before 50% ) daily ration.

Protein makes you feel full and helps maintain muscle mass, protecting it from burning out. Vegetables/fiber go well with protein, so make your meals a combination of these foods.

So, now let's talk about...

Drying the body for girls: basic rules

During the drying process, it is very important to obtain not only the desired effect for the body, but also to avoid negative consequences for the body. Compliance with the following rules will help you solve these problems.

Rule #1

Maintain a stable sugar level throughout the day, without ups and downs; to do this, stick to fractional meals ( 5-7 techniques) and the right products.

Rule #2

Consume amount of clean water = [your weight]x0.03. Cool water allows the body to expend more energy on its utilization.

Rule #3

Learn to count calories and gradually reduce your intake, but remember that cutting calories from carbohydrates can eventually deplete your glycogen stores, which can cause active muscle tissue to burn. Increase carbohydrates by 100-200 gr 1 once a week will replenish your glycogen stores enough to avoid muscle loss.

Rule #4

The correct drying process should take from 8 before 12 weeks

Rule #5

Cutting workouts involve high intensity (high number of repetitions, light weights, combinations of exercises in sets/supersets) or strength volume training (better suited for men).

Rule #6

When cutting back on carbohydrates, increase your intake of lean protein to prevent your body from burning muscle, particularly in numbers. 1,5-2 To/ 1 kg up to 2-3 gr.

Rule #7

If there is a sharp restriction of calories, the body will try to store energy in reserve, slowing down its metabolism. Moderate reduction in calories (weekly decrease by 100-200 kcal), allows the body to switch to burning fat and not put metabolism into a “tailspin.”

Rule #8

With respect and gratitude, Dmitry Protasov.

Drying the body is the process of burning subcutaneous fat using carbohydrate starvation. As a result, the fat layer is burned, the body becomes sculpted.

Who is body drying indicated for?

People actively involved in sports. Especially for bodybuilders during competitions. During the time between competitions, athletes periodically gain muscle mass, and then during the drying period they burn fat with minimal loss of dry mass.

Important! People who do not have problems with excess weight. Those whose muscles are in good shape and the percentage of subcutaneous fat exceeds 20% can safely choose drying as a tool to give their body definition.

For overweight people, drying will not bring any benefit. Cardio exercise and diet are recommended for burning fat. Those who are underweight but have belly fat are advised to improve their diet.

What is the difference between cutting and losing weight?

Losing weight is a more gentle method. It is carried out several times a year to maintain constant weight. The main principle of losing weight is to burn more calories than you consumed. Drying involves systematic control over nutrition. It is considered a great stress for the body.

Each person's approach to drying should be individual. Some may consume only dairy products for a long time; for some, this approach is problematic.

Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for the body. If too much carbohydrate is consumed, it ends up in the liver and muscle tissue. Glycogen is formed. If all cells are filled with glucose, then due to a glut of carbohydrates, fat is formed.

When there is a deficiency of glucose, the body first consumes glycogen reserves and then fat. An incorrect approach to drying can lead to dire consequences, including a coma.

During the drying process, you should not use additional fat burning drugs. Such drugs contribute to increased metabolism and the appearance of a disease such as ketoacidosis.

Basic principles of drying

This:
maintaining a daily calorie deficit;
strengthening metabolic processes in the body;
stick to fractional meals.

Fractional nutrition (see) involves eating in small portions and often. This approach to nutrition is the basis for success.

Principles of nutrition during the drying period

At the beginning of drying it is necessary to exclude. If you suddenly stop consuming it, it will be a great stress for the body. In the middle and at the end of drying, carbohydrates can be consumed only in the morning.

For women, during the drying process it is necessary to consume easily digestible proteins. In addition to drying, you can resort to strength training. Exercise helps improve your metabolism. Towards the end of the drying period, it makes sense to reduce your vegetable consumption.

Drying the body - foods that should be excluded

These foods should definitely be excluded from your diet:

Sweet;
flour;
food containing animal fats.

If it is very difficult to do without sweets, then you can eat fruits and honey, and instead of fatty meats, fish and seafood.

Consumption of the following products is encouraged:

Cereals (rice, buckwheat);
vegetables;
nuts;
durum wheat pasta;
legumes;
cottage cheese (preferably low-fat).

If drying is accompanied by additional physical activity, for example, the Planck exercise (read -), then you need to eat well so that the body is not weakened.

A mandatory point in the drying process is the daily consumption of liquid. Carbonated drinks with dyes and high amounts of sugar are excluded. The daily consumption rate of pure still water should be 2.5-3 liters.

Limitations and contraindications for drying

1. Active intellectual activity.
2. Pregnancy and lactation period.
3. Diseases of the kidneys, liver, gastrointestinal tract.
4. Diabetes mellitus.

Drying the body is a complex and energy-consuming process. Before carrying out it is better to consult with professionals, and also visit a doctor to check for contraindications.

Body drying for girls

Body drying for men

Drying the body, first of all, involves a gradual reduction in calorie intake (creating a deficit of 10 to 30%), depending on the progress of fat burning and the athlete’s ultimate goal.

• Drying food quite strict - you will have to say goodbye to the vast majority of harmful goodies. The first step is to reduce the amount of fast carbohydrates and animal fats. Ideally, remove it altogether.

The diet (drying) also involves consuming a sufficient amount of liquid, at least 2.5 liters. If you drink less, metabolic processes will slow down, which in turn will slow down fat burning. It is also necessary to maintain a drinking regime because when dehydrated, the blood thickens, which is undesirable for the heart during intense training.

Drink more pure still water!

The entire drying process involves mandatory measurements of parameters and weighing of the athlete. If the thickness of the fat folds decreases and you lose from 1 to 3 kilograms per month, the diet can be considered effective.

Main rules of drying

In short, drying the body for girls and men is a special principle of nutrition, which is based on the consumption mainly low carb And protein food. The diet involves gradual reduction of body fat while maintaining muscle mass.

Drying the body is indicated for people who have a sufficient amount of muscle mass and do not suffer from obesity.

As a rule, such nutrition is practiced by competitive athletes, professional bodybuilders, and bodybuilders in order to bring the body into the required shape and get into the required weight category. Ideally, athletes lose weight under the supervision of experienced instructors, fortunately the diet is quite strict.

If you decide to “dry out” for yourself, you should remember simple rules:

1. Start gradually (for a smooth integration into the process, a special step-by-step guide has been developed, which we will write about below).
2. Eat small portions 5–6 times a day (every 2–3 hours). Do not eat 2 hours before training and 1.5 hours after (only amino acids and protein). At least 40% of your daily protein can be obtained from protein shakes, the remaining 60% from food.
3. Remember about clean water - at least 30 ml for every 1 kg of body weight (more can be done on days of intense training and in hot weather).
4. Losing weight by cutting implies a balanced diet: you must consume at least 10% unsaturated fats, fish, Omega-3. Eat cereals, vegetables, nuts, take enough fiber and don’t forget to take vitamin and mineral complexes. The quantity of fruits and berries for drying is limited, so it is unlikely that you will be able to do without vitamins from the store.
5. During this period, you need to train a lot and diligently, alternating strength exercises with cardio exercises. The best option in each specific case will be a fitness instructor or trainer.
6. The frequency of the relief diet is no more than once a year.

Only in this case, drying the body at home will be effective and will not have a negative impact on health.

Do's and don'ts when drying: list of products

During the drying period it is necessary completely eliminate: confectionery, sweets, baked goods, any alcohol, pasta, bread, white rice, smoked, fried and fatty foods, ice cream, mayonnaise and other fatty and sweet sauces, fatty cheese, sausages, canned food, snacks.

In small quantities: cereal porridge, vegetable, olive, flaxseed oil (completely low-fat food is a direct path to worsening metabolism). It can also damage your skin and hair. Girls may have problems with their cycles.

Recommended to eat: lean meat (veal, rabbit, chicken breast, turkey), fish, low-fat dairy and fermented milk products, eggs (a lot of white, limited amount of yolk), brown and wild rice, beans, lentils, some mushrooms, vegetables and fruits ( in small quantities), greens, sports nutrition.

Drying: menu and meal plan

You need to switch to drying gradually (a sudden switch to protein foods is harmful to your health). To begin improving the relief smoothly, it has been developed step-by-step plan, which must be followed.

• Drying the body for men and women is somewhat different in the composition of the diet: in women, the reduction in carbohydrates is more gradual, and the amount remains slightly higher than in men. The basic principles remain unchanged.

Drying the body for a month. First stage of the diet

The first stage lasts 4 weeks. BZHU – proteins 50%; fats 20%; carbohydrates 30%.

Sample menu:

• Breakfast: low-fat cottage cheese – 200 g, whole grain toast, fruit
• Lunch: steamed fish or stewed breast or beef – 200 g, porridge cooked in water without sugar, milk and butter (any except white rice) – 100 g, fresh vegetable salad – 100 g
• Dinner: poultry – 150 g, stewed vegetables – 100 g, porridge – 100 g

Second phase (carbohydrate-free)

The second stage lasts only 7 days. BZHU – proteins 70%; fats 20%; carbohydrates 10%.

Only complex carbohydrates are allowed (in the first half of the day). Toast and any bread, even whole grain, are excluded, fruits too. The amount of boiled porridge is sharply reduced. Otherwise, you can follow the scheme of the first stage.

Protein salad with squid in 5 minutes

Third stage (water removal)

Duration – one week (7 days). During this drying period, all carbohydrates are excluded from the menu, and ordinary water is replaced with distilled water. Other products from the first phase remain in limited quantities.

• Breakfast: fresh vegetable salad – 120 g, boiled egg white – 7 pcs., 1 tbsp. l. spoon of any boiled cereal
• Second breakfast: 2 tbsp. any boiled cereal, chicken breast – 120 g, fresh vegetable
• Lunch: stewed or steamed fish – 200 g, fresh vegetable salad without added salt
• Afternoon snack: sports nutrition
• Dinner: boiled or steamed seafood – 200 g, greens

Fourth stage (restorative)

Contraindications

Drying the body for girls at home, as well as for men, is a drastic measure that should not be resorted to often and unnecessarily. Let us repeat, this is usually the lot of athletes preparing for competitions. In addition, only absolutely healthy people can “dry”.

• Under no circumstances should such a diet be allowed for children and adolescents, pregnant and lactating women.

Other contraindications:

• liver and kidney diseases;
• diabetes;
• diseases of the heart and blood vessels.

Yes, drying is effective. Yes, the action plan is simple and clear. Yes, it's inexpensive. There are many advantages, but you shouldn’t get hooked on it if you are not involved in sports.

Many girls want more than just a slim body. Many people dream of beautiful muscle definition, which is not so easy to achieve. One of the most common methods is body drying for girls. Its main aspects are properly selected training and physical activity, as well as diet. At the same time, the lesson program should be thought out to the smallest detail. Those women who want muscle definition must perform all exercises correctly.

During drying, it is necessary to focus not only on training, but also on following all the rules of the diet, in particular, constant monitoring of calories consumed. It is worth understanding that if there is a lack of nutrients in the body, the drying process will slow down greatly. In turn, this can lead to various negative consequences, both for body shape and for the health of the body. It is worth paying attention to the fact that drying programs for women and men are different. Girls need fewer aerobic exercises and the same amount of athletics. The diet of men and women is completely different.

It is worth understanding that simply cutting calories is not a panacea. This will certainly help you dry out, but this process will affect your muscle mass. Due to a lack of nutrients, the body will look for a reserve source and it will be muscles. Therefore, before taking any action, you need to clearly understand what body drying is and why it is needed.

To do this, you need to remember that carbohydrates can be both simple and complex. The former are found in dishes such as confectionery and flour products. Their regular consumption leads to obesity.

Complex carbohydrates contained in black bread, cereals, and pasta have virtually no effect on the body weight of girls. However, it is worth understanding that both simple and complex carbohydrates should be consumed in very limited quantities during drying. There should be much more protein in the diet.

Maintain the correct proportions and caloric content when drying

The amount of proteins, fats and carbohydrates consumed depends on the girl’s body weight. For example, for those who weigh between 50 and 55 kg, the recommended dosage is 100 g of protein. Moreover, more than 60% of this norm should enter the body in the form of animal food and protein. If it is not possible to completely eliminate fatty foods from the diet, they should be limited to a minimum. In this case, their use occurs without harm to the body.

Important! To get a sculpted belly, girls need to ensure that the fat content is no more than 10%.

To calculate calorie standards, you should also start from your own weight. 35-40 kcal is allowed per 1 kg. In this case, the daily norm must be divided into 5-6 meals. Each serving should contain no more than 40 g of protein. If you eat with long breaks, this will lead to a decrease in efficiency due to a decrease in metabolic rate.

You are allowed to eat at night, but the portion should be small and consist exclusively of healthy foods. The best options are a protein shake or low-fat cottage cheese.

Important! The drying process should begin and end gradually. In the first week it is recommended to maintain the amount of nutrients at 40%, in the next week - 35%, after - 25-30%. To avoid health consequences, it is recommended to return to your normal diet gradually.

It is impossible to get a slim and toned figure with defined muscles. Regular exercise is necessary to dry out the body. Maintaining muscle mass is one of the most important principles of cutting.

It is important to observe the following aspects when creating a diet menu:

• Basic products will include chicken breasts, boiled proteins, squid fillets, and lean white fish. To prepare them, traditional or steam cooking is used. They can be consumed without time restrictions.
• Sources of carbohydrates that need to be controlled in quantity are oatmeal and buckwheat porridge, rye pasta, cabbage, cucumbers, and greens.
• For drinking, it is best to use only pure water or ginger tea without adding any sweetener.

Sugar should be completely excluded. It is not used in drinks or cooking.

Drying the body for women implies the complete exclusion of the following products:

• Dairy products due to the monosaccharide lactose they contain. This substance is milk sugar.
• Flour and confectionery products, which contain large quantities of simple carbohydrates.
• Fried meat, lard and other sources of fat.

Where is the safety line?

You can't dry it indefinitely. The optimal result, which does not entail negative consequences for the body, is fat loss in the amount of 200 g. At the same time, weight loss per week should not exceed 1.5 kg for girls of any build. If this indicator is higher, it means that the muscles are losing their mass and shape.

Practical advice: It is worth paying attention to training. Aerobic exercise requires a lot of energy and puts a lot of stress on the body. They can be safely equated to strength training.

Sports nutrition and drying

Thanks to the presence of effective sports supplements, the desired result can be achieved faster. Their main advantages are that they help improve the functioning of the kidneys and gastrointestinal tract.

But you need to remember the basic rules of admission.

• Creatine. It is a popular and effective product that allows you to quickly get the desired result in bodybuilding. Recommended for those girls who want not only to gain definition and lose the maximum amount of fat. However, it is necessary to increase aerobic exercise.
• Protein. Recommended for all girls who want to dry out their stomach and whole body. Its positive property is that it provides the body with protein and amino acids, the absorption of which does not require a large amount of energy.

• If your weight is 8-10 kg more than ideal due to muscles, then it is recommended to use amino acids and protein in your diet. Protein powders and BCAAs are good recommendations.
• Before you start and immediately after training, you need to consume 5 g of BCAAs.
• Drink protein shakes an hour after exercise.
• Before training (1.5-2 hours), it is recommended to consume protein shakes with a small amount of carbohydrates.

Creating the right training cycle for cutting

Many people do not know how to dry the body at home so that the body develops evenly and there are no consequences for the body. For a good result, you need to choose a good set of aerobics and athletics classes. The correct training complex for drying girls consists of exercises that use all the muscles of the body. In this case, it is recommended to do 5-6 sets, repeating training for the lower part of the body 15-20, for the upper part - 12-15. The recommended interval between sets is 90-120 seconds. Thanks to this scheme, the maximum number of muscle fibers is involved in the work and anabolic processes are activated.

Practical advice: If you have a large fat layer, it is recommended to avoid breaks between approaches and use circuit training instead of the scheme described above. If significant weight loss is not required, then you can do aerobic exercises and pumping workouts.

A set of exercises for drying girls’ bodies should also include running on an exercise bike; bicycle ergometer or ellipsoid. Frequency: three times a week. At the same time, on free days it is necessary to give the body rest and recovery. Otherwise, excessive stress can lead to health problems. If all the rules are followed, every girl can achieve amazing results. You can gain up to 15 kg of weight using muscles alone.

Contraindications for drying

The main contraindications to drying are:

• pregnancy;
• disorders of the liver and pancreas;
• diabetes;
• lactation;
• renal failure;
• diseases of the stomach and intestines.

Many girls often confuse the concept of diet and drying. In fact, these concepts are only similar, but fundamentally different from each other. Confusion of concepts occurs due to lack of awareness on this issue. What is body drying for girls - we’ll figure it out today. This cutting diet involves not only avoiding certain foods, but also intensive exercise. This can really be done at home, but it will be better if everything goes under the close supervision of specialists. It will be difficult to create a monthly nutrition plan on your own, but for an experienced nutritionist such an operation will not be difficult. Drying is characterized by some nuances, for example, the fact that it is designed for a long period, and if your goal is to fit into your favorite jeans, then we advise you to abandon this method of losing weight.

Concept of drying the body

Few people know what body drying is and why it is needed. It first of all involves preparation for the main process:

• you must learn to strictly follow the training schedule and regularly perform the required number of approaches;
• By increasing calorie content, you will be able to maintain the anabolic balance of the body at the proper level, which promotes muscle growth;
• fat and muscle tissue must develop in a certain ratio.

In other words - This is a complex, labor-intensive process that does not last a week. It may take months to achieve results. Basically, professional athletes or models resort to such activities, for whom a beautiful body is of paramount importance.

Special attention is paid to nutrition during drying. During the process, fractional meals are recommended. You need to eat at least 5 times a day, drink large volumes of water - at least 2 liters. There is no need to eat 2 hours before and after a set of exercises - this will allow you to fully burn the accumulated fat. Don't eat high-calorie foods. And one more note: You should try to eat at least 60% of your daily food intake before 2 pm.

As a result of intense training, the body triggers hidden metabolic processes, which guarantees a gain of muscle mass and, as a result, weight loss. Drying will help when a woman has the following problem: the muscles are well developed, but the desired relief has not been achieved. There is an opinion that drying achieves the removal of water from the body, but in fact, fats are burned with particular intensity.

Drying information for men

What is body drying for men and what is its meaning?

According to reviews, every self-respecting athlete who engages in bodybuilding professionally. I tried this lifestyle at least once. I was engaged in drawing up a menu for the day or resorted to the help of a nutritionist. And I spent more time at the gym. The result is an ideal body, ready for competition.

Science has proven that men with a thin waist and six-pack abs have much more testosterone in their bodies than those who are overweight. This means that fit, even lean men live longer (due to the same testosterone).

Men of this type are characterized by constant movement, which means their health and masculine strength are maintained at the proper level.
