Chicken meat contains many useful amino acids that have a beneficial effect on health. Most nutritionists recommend the chicken diet as it is low in calories, nutritious and allows you to quickly get the desired result.

Pros of the Chicken Diet Diet

The advantages of the chicken diet are:

1. The optimal amount of protein in food – this helps in the process of losing weight by burning adipose tissue.
2. Satiety – chicken breast combined with vegetables gives a feeling of satiety for a long time.
3. Chicken meat has much less fat than other types of meat.
4. Chicken meat is absorbed by the body much easier, and it is more affordable, unlike rabbit meat and turkey, which also belong to dietary varieties.
5. The chicken diet has a varied diet. Therefore, you can combine chicken meat with vegetables, dairy products, cereals (except wheat, semolina) and fruits (except banana and grapes).

Cons of the chicken diet

Now let’s talk about the cons:

1. The chicken diet cannot be balanced enough, as it is devoid of “healthy” fats. It is not recommended to stick to such a diet for more than 1 week.

3. Chicken meat can provoke an allergy if you have a tendency.

Dietitian Reviews

Hismatullina Raushaniya, a dietitian and endocrinologist:

As a nutritionist, I am against any diets that cannot be used in the long term. The chicken diet is another low-calorie protein diet that promises rapid weight loss. But “fast” does not mean stable and healthy.

I am for a balanced diet, when proteins, fats and complex carbohydrates are present in sufficient quantities; there is a rotation of products (that is, the food is varied and mono-diets are not applied). And, of course, the diet should be simple, from affordable and familiar products.

The chicken diet, like many different variations of low-calorie diets, does not saturate us with important micro and macro nutrients. At the same time, it can even harm some with impaired kidney function, an increase in uric acid in the blood.

Therefore, I wish everyone who wants to lose weight NOT to chase a beautiful picture. The most important thing is that your diet brings you pleasure and heals you!
