You can significantly improve the efficiency of the unloading day on cucumbers. To do this, use the following tips:

• When eating vegetables, do not salt them. Sodium chloride promotes fluid retention. Adding salt to cucumbers helps to reduce the "drainage" action of the active ingredients that they contain. Sodium chloride can also reduce the diuretic (diuretic) effect of these substances.
• Rinse thoroughly, but do not peel the vegetable. The thin skin contains quite a lot of fiber and active substances that can accelerate the contractile function of the intestine. Such an effect will improve the motility of the gastrointestinal tract, which will also contribute to weight loss.
• Watch fluid intake. During the cucumber "discharge" you can drink water and drinks that do not contain sugar. Too much to drink is not worth it, because crispy cucumbers are already so rich in plant moisture.
• Carefully plan the day of "unloading." Most people who resort to this method of losing weight, try to avoid holding a fasting day on Monday. The first working day is usually quite difficult, and food restriction can contribute to even more stress for the body. It is better to postpone the conduct of the unloading day in the middle of the week or a day off.

• Add exercise. Doctors always emphasize that just a diet is not enough to lose weight without harm to health. In order for the process of achieving the desired weight to occur more quickly, by the days of unloading included in the diet, regular exercise should be added. Choose classes should be to their liking, to bring pleasure, so it will be much easier to lose weight.
• Consider the season. Fasting cucumber days are best spent in the summer when there are plenty of fresh vegetables. In winter, there is a high risk that cucumbers will contain various chemical additives that will not benefit the body at all.
