You’ve probably heard that carbohydrates, in particular bread, are a figure’s worst enemy. Most people who are losing weight are convinced that in order to reduce forms, it is necessary to abandon products containing flour. But Olga Raz, a nutritionist in Israel, has proposed a bread-based diet that casts serious doubts on this popular belief.

Bread Diet Requirements

Many people are unable to complete this or that diet due to the prohibition of the use of flour products on it. They simply do not gorge themselves without bread, even eating a palpable portion of the right food. The author of the bread method, Olga Raz, headed a whole scientific study, which was carried out in one of the clinics in Tel Aviv. The purpose of this experiment was to compile a list of mood-enhancing foods. Serotonin is always present in human blood, which is popularly called the hormone of happiness. Our mood also depends on its level. In the course of the study, it was noticed that the level of serotonin drops significantly in many people with a high-protein diet and, conversely, rises when we give the body the desired carbohydrates. This is why it is so difficult for lovers of sweets to sit on various diets. However, sweets that contain serotonin contain too many calories, making it difficult to lose weight. But in bread, which also has enough of the hormone of happiness, there are relatively few calories.

The basic principle Olga Raz’s bread diet – a ban on the patience of hunger The developer of the method convincingly insists that it is necessary to forget about this unpleasant sensation and give the body food quite often (approximately every 3-4 hours). The entire set of permitted foods must be divided by the day and consumed in approximately equal amounts.

When choosing bread for your diet, try to stop at low-calorie types. It is recommended that there are no more than 100 calories per 50 g of bread. Women can eat up to 10-12 slices of bread a day, men – up to 16. If it was not possible to find low-energy bread, then, consuming a higher-calorie product, you need to reduce its amount. On a diet, it is advisable to use rye, black, wholemeal bread or diet bread. The technique, regardless of calorie content, requires the exclusion of baking and various loaves from the diet, which have a high glycemic index, leading to a jump in blood sugar levels.

Bread can be greased with a thin layer of vegetable caviar, pasta based on avocado, ketchup or mustard, low-fat curd cheese. Once a day, you need to eat fruit, preferably a non-starchy type. Be sure to drink at least one and a half liters of clean water daily. You can also drink various types of teas without sweeteners, homemade vegetable juices, one cup of unsweetened coffee (preferably in the morning). For those who are uncomfortable without fruit or berry juices, you can allow half a glass of your favorite drink per day, but subject to the exclusion of the recommended portion of fruit from the diet on that day.

Try to make the basis of your diet, in addition to bread, various vegetables. Eat them raw, bake, stew, boil, steam. The main thing is not to expose to aggressive heat treatment and do not indulge in high-calorie fatty supplements.

Every day you need to eat about 200 g of low-fat fermented milk products (in priority, cottage cheese, kefir, fermented baked milk).

Three times a week, one meal of bread (that is, 3-4 slices) can be replaced with a protein meal – a small portion of lean meat, fish or seafood. You can also eat one chicken egg three times a week.

Sweets, any food with sugar, fatty meats, high-calorie sauces, alcohol, butter, lard, smoked meats, too salty and pickled foods, fast food are strictly prohibited during the bread diet.

Sitting on a bread diet is allowed for 2 weeks. If the desired result is achieved earlier, then you can stop the technique. After you are satisfied with your figure, the stage of consolidating the result begins. So that your efforts do not quickly come to naught, for at least another week, bread snacks should be replaced with one of the food variations listed below. So, once or twice a day, instead of a few slices of bread, you can eat: a portion of solid pasta, rice or buckwheat (a portion means no more than 200 g of finished products); a glass of legumes; medium potatoes in any form except fried; 1 small ear of corn 2 tbsp. l. muesli without sugar or 4 tbsp. l. regular oatmeal.

The nutritionist is categorically against the inclusion of fats, butter, alcohol, fatty sauces and other high-calorie foods in the diet now. But the amount of fruit on the menu can be increased somewhat. If you really want alcohol, you can afford a glass of dry wine, but no more. When you can’t resist sweets, choose foods designed for diabetics. They are lower in calories and have a lower glycemic index. Of course, take them in small doses too.

According to the reviews of people who have experienced a bread diet on themselves, 2-3 extra pounds are consumed per week. With a noticeable excess of body weight, the loss may be more noticeable.

Following the example of Olga Raz’s diet, other methods were developed, in which bread also plays a dominant role in the diet. For instance, diet on black bread and plain water… The diet of the diet, which is recommended to sit on for no more than 8 days, involves the use of bread of the specified type, low-fat kefir, oatmeal, a small amount of solid unsalted fat of minimum fat content, lean meat or fish. With this technique, you can lose 3-4 kg.

There is also bread and kefir dietwith an even stricter meal plan. You can sit on it for a week, and at least 500 g of excess weight should leave the body daily. You can consume a liter of kefir (low-fat or low-fat) and up to 250 g of rye bread daily.
