The protein diet is based on products that meat lovers are used to seeing in their lives.But, despite this, it also has quite a lot of restrictions and requirements.
Pros and cons of a protein diet.
As it was found out, the insufficient amount of protein consumed by a person every day is very harmful, since protein is the most important material for tissue growth.If the proteins in the body are not enough, then weight loss will occur due to the burning of muscle mass, not fat.If proteins are consumed every day in sufficient quantities, then this will contribute to the development of muscles and the formation of a beautiful figure.It is for this reason that the protein diet is so popular among athletes and especially bodybuilders.
The essence of the protein diet.
The essence of the protein diet is understandable to everyone.Carbohydrates are given glucose to the body, when the carbohydrates are consumed, the amount of glucose in the body increases, then it quickly drops, which causes a feeling of hunger.As a result, excess weight increases, but complete saturation does not occur.Having removed carbohydrates and fats from the diet, the body will have to use its reserves to produce energy and, thus, fat will leave.
The protein diet or Atkins diet is still: the Kremlin, the astronaut diet, the egg and many other subspecies of the protein diet allow you to lose 3-8 kilograms in 2 weeks.
Positive moments in the protein diet are:
- There is no constant feeling of hunger, since the proteins are very well saturated;
- Upon completion of the protein diet, the risk of gaining previous weight is minimal, because after this diet in your habit will enter the level of harmful fast carbohydrates.
Protein diet menu.
The protein diet menu is not a law.The main rule of the protein diet is to control the amount of carbohydrates used (no more than 20-40 g per day).It is also necessary to eat 25-30 g of protein in each meal.The main products of the protein diet are: poultry, meat, little fat cheese, fish, eggs, vegetables (without starch), some fruits.
Sitting on a protein diet, you will have to distribute your diet in 7-8 meals per day, in small portions (1-2 handfuls).The first breakfast should take place within the first 20-30 minutes after waking up, and the last easy meal-2-3 hours before bedtime.Before each meal, in about 20 minutes you need to drink a glass of warm clean water.Due to the fact that in such small portions there may be a lack of some vitamins and minerals, calcium and potassium can be washed out, so the body should additionally give a vitamin-mineral complex from the pharmacy.
