Protein diet for every day does not need any special products, does not cause hunger and does not require special efforts. Of course, it can be called somewhat monotonous, but the main products can be combined, so that they do not bother.
Protein diet for every day
The complexity of
protein
absorption Protein digestion takes a lot of energy, since the breakdown of complex protein compounds is long (up to 9 hours) and energy-intensive process. One gram of protein contains 4 kilocalories, but almost 30% of this energy is spent on digestion and absorption.
For comparison, the digestion and absorption of simple carbohydrates begins already in the oral cavity under the influence of saliva, and after 30 minutes without much energy, glucose enters the blood.
For example: a tablespoon of honey (30 grams) contains 100 kilocalories and is completely absorbed after 30-50 minutes, and 100 grams of low-fat cottage cheese contains 90 kilocalories, of which 60 kilocalories will be absorbed after 3-5 hours (30 kilocalories will go to the breakdown of proteins).
Protein products
are digested longer than all others, 3-7 hours. Thanks to their long stay in the stomach, we have a feeling of satiety. A well-fed person can long and disciplinedly follow the prescriptions of the diet, because it is hunger that prevents us from achieving significant results in losing weight.
Ration
Breakfast
The simplest and most monotonous part of the diet, but, due to the lack of morning appetite, I personally am quite satisfied with it.
Lunch, afternoon
snack The main dish for these meals is a salad, which practically does not change during the entire time of the diet, but is very important for its balance, and below I will explain why.
Dinner
For dinner, our protein diet offers 150 grams of lean cottage cheese or the same amount of boiled fish with vegetables.
Salad can be consumed without restrictions and not feel hungry. The fact is that raw vegetables have a fairly large volume, but a small calorie content, and therefore satiety is felt with a small number of calories consumed.
Disadvantages of
the protein diet Like any other imbalance of nutrition, the protein-vegetable diet changes the normal functioning of many systems and organs of our body. This harm can be reduced (we will tell you how), but can not be reduced to zero.
Therefore, the diet should be temporary, and people with diseases of the kidneys and cardiovascular system can switch to it only after consulting with your doctor.
The risk of kidney
stones Predominantly protein foods increase the risk of deposition of kidney stones and salts in the joints. To remove metabolic products will help abundant drinking (at least 2 liters per day).
normal acidity of urine In large quantities, the products of protein metabolism shift the acid-base balance of the body towards increased acidity, which can lead to stomach ulcers, gout and obesity. The risk of gout is also increased by the purines found in fish and meat.
A large amount
of cholesterol Reduce the risk of atherosclerosis can be included in the diet of nuts. The polyunsaturated fatty acids contained in them do not allow cholesterol to be deposited on the walls of blood vessels.
protein diet based primarily on dairy products can lead to excess calcium in the body. The counterweight is products containing phosphorus, which forms insoluble compounds when combined with calcium. For example, pumpkin seeds rich in phosphorus, magnesium, zinc and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
With an excess of phosphorus in the intestine, insoluble calcium compounds (in the form of phytins) are formed, which are excreted in the feces.
liver and excretory system This negative factor can not be compensated, unfortunately.
A healthy person can adhere to a protein diet without any consequences for no more than 7-10 days. During this time, it is quite possible to lose weight by 2-4 kilograms.
Having achieved a result with the help of a protein diet, it is permissible to maintain it only on the basis of the principles of a balanced diet.
