Diet of Dr. Kovalkov. Video
It is possible that Dr. Kovalkov’s “Family Size” diet would not have gained such popularity if he had not proved its effectiveness by an illustrative example. The advantage of this nutritional method is that it is universally suitable for all family members and at the same time works.
Basic principles of the Kovalkov diet
- Exclusion from the menu of all unhealthy foods, especially sugar
- Additional cleansing during the diet with bran
- The presence of a preparatory stage and a gradual exit from the diet
- Mandatory use of special vitamin complexes
- Drawing up a rational menu, in which it contains not only vegetables so beloved by nutritionists, but also complete protein and essential healthy fats
Self-adherence to a diet is possible only in the absence of chronic diseases. If there are similar ones, then the approval of the attending physician is required.
The entire Family Size Kovalkov diet is divided into three stages. The most of them is preparatory, during which you only need to exclude harmful products for two weeks and try to switch to a healthier menu, and also consume two tablespoons of bran daily two hours before breakfast. At this stage, the body gradually weaned from tastes, replete with harmful additives, normalizes the intestinal microflora thanks to fermented milk products and begins to cleanse itself from the inside. The next stage is directly related to weight loss and can last as long as necessary to stabilize the weight.
The diet menu is quite simple here: an abundance of fruits and vegetables, a little protein and a minimum of fat.
The third stage is reinforcing and is more like a healthy diet, in which the diet is expanded, but the principle of sound selection of foods and their adequate amount is dominant. That is, after achieving results, sometimes you can eat a piece of such an unhealthy cake, but only one and occasionally.
At the stage of weight loss, about three kilograms should go away per week, since more intense weight loss is unhealthy
Those who want to try on themselves the method of Dr. Kovalkov, but for some reason cannot contact his clinic, should purchase a book by this author, where he describes in detail the basic principles of his diet and gives recommendations to those who want to lose extra pounds. But it should be remembered that this technique is not suitable for those who expect to lose weight in a week or even a month. The diet of Alexei Kovalkov is effective, but it takes much longer. The third stage is reinforcing and, in principle, does not look like a diet. If you want to keep the achieved results, then you will have to adhere to it all your life.
Of course, this technique differs from the famous diet of astronauts, but its indisputable advantage is the weight loss of all family members.
