With strict observance of all prescriptions and recommendations, Mirkin's technique helps to lose up to 10 extra pounds per month.
Essence and rules of eating behavior according to Dr. Mirkin's system ^
Vladimir Mirkin - PhD, psychotherapist. Developed an innovative approach in combating obesity. His technique proves that obesity is a psychological problem. To get rid of it, first of all, it is necessary to realize it. If this has already happened, the doctor advises:
- to understand why there was a desire to lose weight;
- determine how many kilograms must be reset;
- establish for itself the unremitting rules of nutrition( simple - such that they can be observed throughout life);
- be confident in achieving the desired result;
- use auto-suggestion to understand the harm of overeating.
According to Dr. Mirkin, in order to maintain the optimal weight, the following rules must be adhered to:
- To take food is not necessary according to the regime, but when there is a feeling of hunger.
- Portions should be put in small plates - the dish will be full, and the amount of food that the body will be saturated with will be much smaller.
- There is a need to slow, because the brain signals the stomach of satiety only 20 minutes after it is filled.
- In order not to overeat on holidays, half an hour before the feast it is necessary to drink a glass of kefir or water - this reduces appetite.
- The doctor advises in the first dish to eat one soup, and not to touch the ditch.
- From the second dish you can eat meat or fish, and leave garnish in a bowl.
- Vegetable salads, kefir and drinks can be taken without restrictions.
- Sugar consumption should be reduced as much as possible - for this purpose it is worth choosing unsweetened desserts.
- You can only fry in vegetable oil, instead of sugar, you can use saccharin. Snacks - fruit or vegetable.
Mirkin's program divides products into allowed and prohibited products.
- Allowed products: meat( with the exception of roast pork), poultry( excluded fried duck), fish, all seafood, eggs, milk less than 3.2% fat content, cheese no more fats than 40%, mushrooms, vegetables( except beans and potatoes),sweet and sour fruit, vegetable oils, herbs, spices, sugar-free drinks.
- Prohibited products: baked goods( except 1 piece of bread for lunch), potatoes, cereals, legumes, nuts, bananas, dates, apricots, figs, sweets.
Often in the descriptions of the program of losing weight Mirkin meets the view that it has no contraindications. However, the doctor himself believes that the restrictions can damage those who have liver, kidneys, digestive system. This method is not recommended for pregnant women, women during lactation, people with metabolic disorders, gout and children under 18 years of age.
The positive side of the dietary program lies in the ease of doing and the lack of hunger. This course does not require special dishes - you can eat with the whole family. In addition to losing weight, the Mirkin diet has an excellent preventive effect in cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.
The disadvantage of the method of losing weight Mirkin is that it is not suitable for vegetarians, as it does not offer alternatives to animal proteins. Meal - four meals a day. In soups, fat is not taken into account( although this does not affect the final result of the diet).
