Frenzied Drying is a popular weight loss program for those who have decided to radically change their lives and normalize body weight. Recommendations for drawing up a daily menu and assignments for physical activity for every day will help you find the desired shape and not torment yourself with thoughts about drawing up a weight loss plan.
Furious drying concept
Vasily Smolny's project "Crazy Drying" is aimed at losing weight. Since 2015, more than 20 seasons have been held, lasting 5 weeks, 4 of which are training, and a healthy diet is observed, and one week is devoted to summing up the results of the competition and voting for the participant who has achieved the best result.
In just 21 seasons, more than 200,000 people have already managed to take part in Frenzied Drying.
The meaning of the project is to teach people to eat right, following the rules of a healthy lifestyle, and to adhere to an active healthy lifestyle. In addition to new eating and physical activity habits, participants are encouraged to receive valuable prizes for the best results.
The rules and tasks for all participants are the same, regardless of gender. "Crazy drying" (tasks for every day and recommendations for proper nutrition each player receives) is a project designed to spread the principles of a healthy lifestyle. Participants are helped to calculate the daily intake of kilocalories and the ratio of BJU depending on gender, age and lifestyle.
In addition to daily tasks, on Saturday it is necessary to complete the departure task, which is recorded on video and posted by the participants in their personal account. On Sunday, you can have a cheat meal and eat one prohibited product.

Sports nutrition with Frenzied drying
Crazy Drying is not a project for professional athletes, so there is no mention of the mandatory use or prohibition of sports nutrition in the conditions of the game. Receiving tasks and nutritional recommendations for each day, the participant receives the norm of the necessary nutrients (proteins, fats and carbohydrates) that need to be consumed that day.
Sometimes a person simply cannot gain a protein norm from food, then sports nutrition in the form of whey protein comes to the rescue. Half of the protein can be obtained from this source. You need to take protein in several doses, usually one hour before training and one hour after.
To increase energy metabolism in the muscles, some trainers may recommend taking creatine. The substance is safe and will help speed up the fat burning process.
Reviews
Over the three years of the game's existence, it has gained many followers who regularly take part in new seasons. Some participants get so excited that, without becoming a winner for the first time, they try to go through the season again and reach the final.
There are also negative reviews about participation in the game. Some of them are related to the fact that the participant could not get into the final vote, while having visible achievements. Some complain about the intensity of the training and the high stress on the body.
Most of the former participants speak positively about the game and their result, share photos before and after losing weight, advise friends to take part.
Crazy drying teaches new habits, endurance assignments every day help people overcome themselves and achieve their goals. Even without winning the main prize, the participant has already received a valuable gift in the form of willpower and a new healthy body.
