The diet, which recommends a complete rejection of the use of “fast” carbohydrates, has gained immense popularity due to its effectiveness. Many stars and famous personalities have tried it on themselves and do not skimp on positive reviews. It is very tempting to eat delicacies, not limit your drinking, and still lose weight. In addition, you can keep the usual diet and even allow yourself snacks recommended by the diet. However, taking the Kremlin diet as the basis of your diet, you must definitely know what “pitfalls” may lie behind external well-being.
The main disadvantages of the Kremlin diet
Before using a new nutritional system, you should undergo a medical examination and consult a doctor. It is necessary to analyze the state of your health, because the diet has serious contraindications, it is recommended only for absolutely healthy people.
Disadvantages of this power system:
While following the diet, it is recommended to take multivitamin complexes. Meanwhile, the body assimilates even the highest quality preparations much worse than the natural vitamins contained in food, vegetables and fruits.
Porridges are completely excluded from the diet, although these dishes are a source of valuable vitamins and minerals. Nutritional deficiencies can negatively affect your well-being.
To diversify the menu, the Kremlin diet recommends including sausages and sausages in the diet – not the most healthy foods. An alternative to sausages is boiled and baked meat, but the preparation of these dishes takes a lot of time.
Products recommended by the diet do not belong to the budget category – these are meat, cheese, valuable fish, seafood, fresh vegetables. You will have to spend a lot of money to buy food.
A large amount of protein in the diet increases the burden on the kidneys, which is harmful even for perfectly healthy people.
The combination of nutrients recommended by the diet increases the risk of grit and stones in the gallbladder and kidneys.
For those who prefer to eat plant foods, as well as for those with a sweet tooth, following the principles of a diet can be an overwhelming challenge.
The abundance of low-carbohydrate dishes negatively affects the condition of the skin and hair, the appearance of such a person leaves much to be desired.
If you “get out” of the diet too quickly, the return of weight to the previous level is inevitable.
If the individual characteristics of the body do not allow you to follow the principles of the diet, it is better to look for another system for reducing excess weight.
Harm of the Kremlin diet
How is weight lost while on this diet? There is not enough carbohydrates with food, therefore, fat reserves are consumed to fill the energy deficit. Yes, if you strictly follow the recommended diet, the fat content in the body is steadily decreasing. But, besides this, the loss of body weight occurs due to the removal of fluid from organs and tissues. The main requirement of all protein diets is the use of large amounts of water, the constant compensation of its loss.
When following low-carbohydrate diets, a taste of acetone often appears in the mouth. This is due to an increase in the concentration of ketone bodies. Normally, they are also formed as a result of metabolism, but this dose is minimal and does not cause any harm, since ketone bodies are quickly utilized. With their excessive formation, the utilization process slows down, and the content of ketone bodies in the blood rises. Intoxication of the body is growing, the main target of which is the nervous system.
Another negative effect of excess protein is the formation of a large number of purine compounds. As a result of complex biochemical processes, purines break down into urea and salts of uric acid. The consequence of their increased concentration is the development of urolithiasis and gout. The Kremlin diet is especially dangerous for those who already suffer from kidney disease.
In a diet that eliminates carbohydrates from the diet, a ban is imposed on the consumption of cereals, most types of fruits and vegetables. Meanwhile, these products are valuable sources of fiber, polysaccharides, pectins. Using fiber to cleanse the intestines of food debris, the body carries out the prevention of hemorrhoids and constipation.
Not all specialists in the field of nutrition and gastroenterology are enthusiastic about the Kremlin diet.
Doctors warn people who are losing weight, offering to get acquainted with the negative consequences of this method of weight loss:
Deterioration of the gastrointestinal tract. There is increased gas formation, a feeling of heaviness in the stomach, constipation. Problems with the gastrointestinal tract lead to insomnia, deterioration of the skin and hair.
There is too much cholesterol in the foods recommended by the diet. This circumstance in a short time will lead to the appearance of diseases of the cardiovascular system, atherosclerosis.
Deficiency of useful components obtained from plant foods leads to a decrease in immunity, beriberi.
Deficiency of the hormone of joy. Depressive mood, often covering people who are losing weight, is associated with a lack of sweets in the diet. Intellectual disturbances also occur from a lack of glucose in the body.
Metabolism problems. Doctors record cases of salt metabolism failures and increased sweating while following the Kremlin diet. Experts also speak very negatively about the inclusion of sausages in the diet as an affordable alternative to meat.
Despite the fact that the human body was originally adapted to consume a minimum amount of carbohydrates, the negative consequences of the diet for people with obvious and hidden health problems must be considered.
