What happens to the body if you eat only cucumbers for three days?

Cucumbers are not only delicious, but also useful. They are considered leaders among vegetables in fiber content, which improves digestive processes. The main component of cucumbers – structured water, useful because it removes harmful toxins, excess salt and toxins from the body, cleanses the kidneys well. In addition, vegetables contain beta-carotene, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B9, ascorbic acid, potassium, copper, manganese, magnesium, iron, iodine, chromium, phosphorus, sodium.

During the heat wave, to prevent dehydration, you can make cucumber water: for 1 liter of water, cut 1 cucumber, 1 bunch of mint and half a lemon.

Also nutriciologist notes that cucumber juice is very useful. It has cleansing properties, has a positive effect on the nervous system and strengthens memory. You can mix cucumber juice with carrots, spinach or celery.

The first day of the hero of the experiment begins with the fact that in the morning he eats a cucumber instead of a glass of water. Since he spends the whole day at home and does not move much, he eats only four cucumbers. The blogger notes that his well-being on the first day of the experiment is fine, there is no feeling of hunger and not very thirsty.

On the second day, Mikhail goes on business and takes two cucumbers with him. He moves a lot, hence, compared to the first day of the cucumber diet, he uses more energy, his hunger and thirst increase. This time he eats six cucumbers, noting that he has become more tired.

There comes a general weakness, because cucumbers can not replace a balanced diet with the necessary amount of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, and will not give in the end calories for vital activity.

In the morning of the third day, the blogger feels good, but unusually sleeps a lot, as it is necessary to restore energy. During the last day of the cucumber diet, Mikhail eats six vegetables. Toward the end, he notes that he feels very tired.

At the end of the experiment, the weight of the blogger dropped to the mark of 70.5 kg. Thus, on the cucumber diet he managed to lose 2.2 kg.

There are many varieties of fasting. This experiment is more like unloading days. But I would not recommend continuing it for longer than one day. In addition, there should be minimal physical activity during the unloading days.
