The zig zag diet is another name for the metabolic confusion diet , which is a diet designed to lose weight without slowing down the metabolism, but pushing it to burn more.
With the zig zag diet you can in fact lose weight by eating more, all without sacrifice. In addition, the zig zag diet is very simple to do, you will have many options and you can take away many whims while on a slimming diet.

However, you need to train at least 3 times a week for an hour if you want to try this diet.
It is therefore not a diet suitable for totally sedentary people. If you want to lose weight by eating more you must also train, no matter if you are a beginner.

WORKING OUT WITH THE ZIG ZAG DIET: INSTRUCTIONS

• In the three days of training, not consecutive, the ideal would be to divide the hour of physical activity into two parts of half an hour each.

• The first half hour will be dedicated to aerobic activity.

  You can choose between running, fast jogging, very fast walking , even outdoors, exercise bike or treadmill even at home. The quick jog can also be done on site, perhaps at home in front of the TV.
  Another great option is dance and aerobic activity for beginners . For each of these things just click on the pink word, which contains links to free plans with free videos that may be useful to you.

• The other half hour will be of muscle toning.

  Hiit for the more experienced , barre , bodyweight activities with weights or elastic bands . On youtube you will find many ideas also in Italian, and the same thing here, if you click on the words highlighted in pink you will find the best videos and free training plans.
  As you can see this time before talking about the diet, I preferred to anticipate physical activity, because to do the zig zag diet it is essential.

FEATURES OF THE ZIG ZAG DIET

But what is the zig zag diet based on?
Basically, with the zig zag diet you alternate four non-consecutive days of 1200 calorie
diet with three non-consecutive 2000 calorie diet days if you are a woman.
Men, on the other hand, can reach 2,300 calories in the three freest days.

So: Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday are 1200 calorie diet days.
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 2000 for women and 2300 for men. In the two thousand calorie days we can also eat out, for example enjoy a hamburger or a pizza.
The important thing is: train on the 2000 calorie diet days and do not exceed this calorie ceiling.
This way you can lose 5 to 6 kilos per month.
