Protein diets these days are universal fame and popularity.Their essence is that nutrition is based on almost unlimited consumption of protein products (lean meat, fish, eggs, cottage cheese with reduced fat content).At the same time, food containing carbohydrates is excluded from the diet.Vegetables and fruits can be eaten in small quantities so that the carbohydrates contained in them do not “balance” proteins entering the body.Protein diets will delight, first of all, those who do not think of life without meat products.Twenty -five years ago, one professor composed his patients to treat some forms of obesity of diet based on egg albumin.But if earlier, protein diets were nothing more than monodieta, that is, they were limiting in nature, and people are losing weight due to a very monotonous diet, then at present the diet of a protein diet is represented not only by proteins, but also by many other nutrients.
Observe protein diets, in principle, is quite simple: you need to refuse carbohydrates and fats (as we have already said), removing sweet, flour, potatoes, grain, pasta and butter from the diet.Eyewitnesses argue that in a couple of weeks of "sitting" on a protein diet you can drop to 8 kg.The fact is that carbohydrates are a source of glucose, and, therefore, a kind of fuel for our body.It can get its body in two ways: firstly, from food;Secondly, from own fat reserves.It turns out that in the absence of carbohydrates and fats in the diet, the body has only one way out: to begin to destroy their own fat reserves.Therefore, the weight begins to decline.Thus, we deliberately cause a deficiency of carbohydrates and excess proteins.
Advantages and disadvantages of protein diets
As you know, absolutely any diet has its pros and cons that we will try to illuminate.And you, having weighed all the pros and cons, decide whether the protein diet is suitable for you or not.The undoubted plus of a protein diet is that you really start losing weight without experiencing hunger.Protein food is quite capable of providing your body with the necessary fuel supply.This is explained by the fact that the proteins are digested for quite some time, and if you eat a piece of meat for lunch, you will not want to have a snack right up to dinner.In addition, much more calories are spent on digestion of protein foods than on something light-yogurt, for example.In addition, your nutrition will differ in sufficient variety - unlike some mono -diet, say, kefir or buckwheat.However, lovers of sweets are unlikely to appeal to this diet.This category of citizens has a difficult choice: either a figure, or sweet.
But the main advantage, according to experts, is that even after the cessation of the diet, you will not gain excess weight, unless, of course, you have a temptation to make up for the various goodies such as buns, cakes, cakes, fatty sauces, etc.Remember: only on condition that you will observe moderation in food, you can maintain the achieved result.Now let's talk about well -known disadvantages.Unfortunately, the protein diet is not a balanced nutrition program.Your body will lose not only extra pounds (which in itself, of course, is fine), but also the necessary vitamins, minerals and minerals (which you can’t call a plus anymore).Skin and hair can suffer from such a diet, you will quickly get tired and fall asleep poorly.
Another minus - when eating, rich in proteins, primarily the muscle protein is destroyed, and only then the fat burns.And one more thing: an increase in the duration of a protein diet to three or more weeks can lead to dysfunction in the work of the kidneys (the more the body receives the protein, the more intensively the kidneys have to work, and the faster the body loses fluid).Among the negative consequences are also a significant increase in cholesterol and the formation of calcium deficiency.
Before you sit on a protein diet, consider several points:
- Strictly observe the sequence of use of products, diet menu: what and on what day is.The rule, known from school, “from the rearrangement of places of terms does not change” in this case does not work - you will only overload the already loaded organism.Only with the exact execution of all prescriptions will the necessary restructuring of the metabolism occur.
- Perhaps some relief regarding portions: if you are not able to eat the specified amount at once, eat in several “suits” or simply reduce the volume of the portion.
- Some days will seem especially difficult, sometimes unbearable.According to the majority, this is the third, fourth, fifth, twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth days.Try to be distracted, drink warm water (it quenches hunger well), load yourself with all kinds of things - so that there is no time to think about food!In a word, your task is to withstand!Titanic efforts must be crowned with success!
- The protein diet is mostly suitable for young, leading an active lifestyle.It is contraindicated in the elderly, as well as obese people, since the protein increases blood coagulation and increases the risk of blood clots, and in fat people it is already quite high.
- Every day you need to drink at least 1.5 liters of boiled or mineral water.If it is very difficult to endure a diet, you can drink more, and heat the water.
