The greens will not help. At least lose weight. But meat, cheese and cream will help.

The use of fats in more quantities than carbohydrates is the real key to losing weight, says new star of the dietetics Grant Peterson, author of the best-selling book " Eat Bacon, Do not Jog

For many years Peterson tried to lose weight in the usual way: he refused fat and spent every day for an hour of training. But he could not lose weight.

After that, the future guru began to try one new diet after another and came to the conclusion that simply changing the balance of consumed and consumed calories is not enough.

And all the fault - the hormone insulin.

When you consume carbohydrates, it is insulin that is needed to turn them into nourishing glucose.It produces its pancreas.

But insulin has one more function. It causes "extra" calories to be processed into fat. If you change your diet in such a way that there is more fat in it, you can "teach" the body to use it not only as a "stock", but also as a "main fuel".

If you eat a day not more than 50 grams of carbohydrates (ie, limited to a slice of bread or a banana), then the body will enter the state of "ketosis", i.e. will start burning fat for energy. This idea lies at the heart of the Peterson weight loss system.

Here are the 10 basic rules of losing weight from the new idol of men and women who dream of losing weight.

1. Eat fish, meat and avocado.

In order to accelerate metabolism, you need to balance the ratio in the body of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. As a rule, we have too much first and too little second.

To fix this, you need to add to your diet salmon, sardines, herring, anchovies, mollusks, as well as crabs, shrimps, scallops, oysters, etc.

It is worth remembering, however, that it is better not to eat tuna and swordfish: there are too many mercury in adult fish.

Olives, avocados and nuts are also rich in acids. They are also in coconut oil.

The fats contained in these products are considered good, because they are metabolized differently than other fats. And this is the most effective fuel for the body, heart and brain.

2. Instead of a traditional breakfast, drink a cup of coffee and butter.

Add in a morning cup of tea or coffee 3-4 tablespoons of cream or coconut oil. This is the perfect breakfast.

If this is not enough for you, add to the breakfast a classic sandwich or three eggs.

After you enter the state of "ketosis", you will find that you no longer experience hunger in the morning. And yet breakfast is necessary. Do not chew only in the morning of sweetness: they will only strengthen your craving for sugar and make you overeat during the day.

3. Discard the sugar balls.

When everyone ate only seasonal, small and not always sweet fruits, everything was fine. Now, on the shelves, you see not so much agricultural products as genetic engineering: huge, hyper-sweet fruits, which, it seems, have long been growing incomprehensibly where, but all the year round.

Take, for example, grapes. What is this, if not a bunch of pure sugar?

Glucose, lactose, sucrose and other sugars are evenly distributed throughout the body, but here "fruit sugar", fructose - goes directly to the liver. If she has to process huge amounts of fructose, she can not handle it properly. Result: sucrose is converted to triglycerides (dangerous fats), which fall back into the blood.

And these fats are clearly deposited on your arteries and thighs.

4. Try to fast, but with meat.

Everyone is aware of the benefits of fasting, even non-believers. Logic is usually this: you stop (almost) eating, the level of insulin falls, you feel hungry, but the body is losing weight.

But if your task is to dramatically lower the level of insulin in the blood, then there are two ways to do better.

First, at the time of fasting you can force yourself to eat foods high in fat and low - carbohydrates.Secondly, you can for 24 hours not eat anything at all except fats (cheese, whipped cream, coconut oil, olive oil, fat, eggs, fatty meat).

5. Dark bitter vegetables - great food!

Dark leafy vegetables like cabbage are usually very few people like. But absolutely in vain: this is an excellent source of weight-promoting substances.

Focus on cabbage, chicory, chard, spinach, salad, dandelions and mustard. And it will be better if the taste is "natural", i.e. slightly bitter.

Bitterness is given to these green vegetables by phytonutrients - excellent and very useful antioxidants.

6. Never eat egg whites, omelettes or potatoes.

Yolk - this is the best part of the egg. The protein is 50% of the egg protein, and 50% of the fat, which he needs for development. Most people think that the egg yolk is the source of cholesterol that clogs our arteries, but it's not. Contained in eggs, cholesterol does not clog the arteries, fat here is quite "healthy."

Now about potatoes. No valuable nutrients, except potassium, it does not contain. But it is full of starchy substances that negatively affect human health.

7. Coconut is the god of weight loss!

Coconuts are in terms of utility to the brain "almost salmon," Peterson says. Partly this is because in these fruits there are almost no carbohydrates. And partly because they are full of triglycerides of medium chain length (MCTs). Coconut oil generally consists of 66% of them.

MCT is an excellent power engineer. When these substances burn in the body, ketones are formed (an alternative to the "fuel cells" of glucose), and this is the most useful type of fat.

That's why regular consumption of coconut food is also an excellent prevention of obesity, cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, and other neurological diseases.

8. Eat Greek yogurt.

It should be low in fat and without added sugar. If it's easier, then it should taste like sour, not sweet.

With him you will get an excellent supply of protein and useful carbohydrates. And if you can not eat it without a fruit additive, then it's better to add just a few berries to it.

9. You can drink alcohol.

The advantage of a low-carb diet is that it allows you not to count calories. Your goal is to limit the intake of carbohydrates into the body.

And this is good news for drinkers. The main thing is not to drink beer, because it is full of carbohydrates. Focus on unsweetened drinks: whiskey, gin, rum, tequila, whiskey, vodka. In each of them - zero carbohydrates. Unless, of course, dilute them with soda.

10. Do not run.

There are studies that suggest that running is really not the best way to lose weight. Where it is more effective short, but extremely intensive training. They force the muscles to "burn" and consume more oxygen.

The good news is that it takes 5-10 minutes for a full-time daily training session. The bad thing is that during this time you have to make it to the maximum. At these moments, try to work at the limit of your abilities. Give the body a good "shake".

Remember that your goal is simply to lose weight. And for this purpose short exercises with super-strong loading are best suited
