Choosing the right nutritional system will help you lose weight quickly.
Fashion Weeks have begun again, followed by literally the whole world. And every time, looking at the ideal figures of the models, you start to think: why don’t I look the same as they do? Of course, they constantly go in for sports, almost 5 times a week, and even monitor their diet. We decided to figure out which diets are now the most popular and effective.
Recently, the keto diet has become one of the most popular among the stars. She is chosen by Kim Kardashian, Adriana Lima and Halle Berry to stay in great shape.
“This is a low-carb, low-fat, moderate-protein diet. With this diet, fats are the main source of energy. What happens with the usual consumption of carbohydrates – they are processed into glucose, due to which our brain feels great. When the amount of carbohydrates decreases, the liver begins to process fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. They, in turn, feed the brain instead of glucose, ”explains Ata Kelly, MD, LAC, NCCAOM, integrative medicine physician at Remedy Lab.
High-carbohydrate foods (sugary fruits and vegetables, breads, pasta, cereals and sugar) are not suitable for this diet, but fat-rich foods such as cheeses and oils are highly welcomed. The diet was developed back in the 20s for the treatment of childhood epilepsy. Its advantage is that it has been sufficiently studied, and its effectiveness has long been proven, since it provided for the optimal combination of proteins and carbohydrates for the normal functioning of the body (proteins for growth and a sufficient amount of carbohydrates for normal weight).
“Among the permitted products: vegetable, butter, coconut oil, nuts, eggs, meat, fish, mushrooms, vegetables with a high fiber content, dairy products (excluding milk),” continues Ata Kelly.
With this diet, sugar intake should be completely eliminated. Also, flour products, vegetables with a high sugar and carbohydrate content (corn, potatoes) are not recommended. A small amount of fruits and dried fruits is acceptable.
Recently, more and more stars and bloggers have begun to discuss the broth diet. It turns out that Gwyneth Paltrow and Salma Hayek are sitting on this one. The creator of such an unusual nutritional system is nutritionist Dr. Kelliann. According to a nutritionist, sitting on such a diet, you can lose weight up to 7 kilograms in 21 days. The point is that there are very few calories in the broth, and there are no carbohydrates at all, so you can eat a lot of it. You should only use lean meat, such as chicken, turkey, fish. While you cook the broth, you can add onions, celery, leeks, and carrots to the broth. You can also add eggs, vegetables and eat the meat itself. It takes a very long time to cook the broth to create nutrient-rich bone broth.
In addition to the fact that such a diet will be very beneficial for the figure, your skin will improve, more precisely, it will become more elastic. The point is that the broth contains collagen, which is responsible for the elasticity of the skin, and this ingredient also strengthens bones.
The broth does not need to be drunk every day. The nutritionist advises to eat only broth several times a week, on other days you can eat a balanced diet.
“Fasting is now considered by many to be one of the biohacking methods, because during therapeutic fasting, the process of cleansing from toxins and toxins is launched in the cells, the level of insulin is significantly reduced, and lymph and blood flow normalizes. The fasting system is selected individually: someone abstains from food for three to five days, but the most common scheme is 5: 2, according to which the patient eats for 5 days and fasted for 2 days. If you cannot stand a complete refusal of food, then let’s say taking 500-700 calla lilies in the form of smoothies, teas, cocoa, chicken broth and herbal tea, ”says Leonid Elkin, doctor, bioenergy therapist, author of the patented body modeling technique.
During fasting, do not forget about the observance of the water balance – you need to drink up to 2 liters of water (or the sum of all liquids if you drink juice or tea). Moreover, it is good that a third of this amount is made from carbonated water. It is the gas bubbles that help to effectively cleanse the cells of toxins. Soda water contains dissolved oxygen, which has a detrimental effect on bacteria in the intestines. Therefore, carbonated water is also a prophylactic antibacterial agent.
It is important not to overload the lymphatic system: the body must completely drive out all the fluid, preventing it from stagnating. If you drink more than 2 liters of liquid, then the water is retained in the body, and edema occurs.
“Remember, if you have chronic diseases, problems with the gastrointestinal tract, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, then you should never practice fasting on your own. And, of course, I would not recommend fasting or other self-selected diets for people who are overweight. After all, any diet or refusal to eat is stress for the body, which can lead to negative reactions, such as additional weight gain after the end of the diet. So, be sure to carry out all experiments under the supervision of a doctor, ”says Dr. Elkin.
