The diuretic diet menu is based on foods that quickly fight fluid retention and detoxify the body, promoting swelling and overweight in a few days.
This menu can be used especially after exaggerations in the diet, with high consumption of foods rich in sugar, flour and fat, and after excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages.
Here's an example of a 3-day menu for this diet:
| Meal | Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 |
| Breakfast | 200 ml lemon juice with sugar-free ginger + 1 slice whole-wheat bread with ricotta cream | 1 glass of natural yogurt + 2 cabbage of granola | 200 ml of green tea + 2 scrambled eggs |
| Morning snack | 1 glass of green juice + 5 cashew nuts | 200 ml of hibiscus tea + 2 whole-grain toast with light curd | 200 ml of coconut water + 1 slice of ricotta |
| Lunch dinner | pumpkin puree + 1 small serving of grilled fish + green salad + 5 strawberries | cauliflower rice + 100 g of grilled chicken with steamed vegetable salad + 1 slice of pineapple | 3 shells of vegetable soup |
| Afternoon snack | 200 ml of maté tea + 1 egg scrambled with ricotta cream | 1 glass of green juice + 3 nuts | 200 ml of hibiscus tea + 2 toasts with light curd |
The diuretic diet helps to lose weight by having few calories, favoring the proper functioning of the intestine and promoting detoxification of the body, but it is important to remember that this diet should not be done for more than 7 days in a row.
In addition, the results of weight loss using diuretic foods are potentiated when aerobic physical activity is done along with diet such as walking or cycling for 30 minutes. See other diuretic foods to vary the diet in: Diuretic foods.
