A healthy, balanced diet – sounds like something you’ve been needing for a long time? Dr. Pasternak’s diet initially appealed to the tastes and hearts of Hollywood stars, over time it began to gain popularity among women inspired by it from around the world.
The advantage of this diet is that we lose weight, even though the menu is not too restrictive, it is not based on meticulous counting of calories, and instead teaches us a healthy lifestyle. It does not require us to make sacrifices in the form of strenuous exercise. At best, we can lose up to 7 kilograms.
How is Dr. Pasternak’s diet going?
- During the five weeks of the diet, we have a chance for a noticeable weight loss.
- Every day we eat five meals, including three main meals and two snacks, thanks to which we prevent sudden hunger attacks.
- As is the case in healthy diets, the most important thing in the whole menu is breakfast, which should consist of carbohydrates and vitamins. The most reasonable will be to choose muesli, fish, bread, yogurt or eggs.
- Dinner should consist of carbohydrates, i.e. groats, rice or al dante pasta, as well as meat or fish. The supplement should be raw vegetables.
- Let’s make dinner light, based on protein and vegetables.
- Please remember to watch your food after 15pm.
- As snacks, natural yoghurts, low-fat cheeses, fruit cocktails and, of course, fresh fruit are perfect.
- Ideally, each meal should contain a total of five ingredients: fiber, low glycemic carbohydrates, low-fat complete protein, healthy fats, and a sugar-free drink.
- Let’s also try not to exceed 1400 calories during the day.
- For each of the five weeks of the diet, there is a cheat day. However, let’s not try to compensate for the sum of weekly sacrifices on this day, but only allow a piece of cake or other sweet snack. Let’s focus on regeneration.
- While we don’t need strenuous workouts, five days a week, let’s find time for a 25-minute workout that combines four exercises for different parts of the body.
