Impulse Diet
The pulse diet of the famous Russian nutritionist Mikhail Ginzburgis considered one of the most effective and safe dietary methods of weight loss, since it assumes the consumption of high-quality and healthy foods containing high nutritive pricesspine and a small caloric value.
At the same time, food intake must occur at strictly defined intervals. However, these are not rigid "hungry" restrictions, but only a significant reduction in the consumption of fats.
The essence and principles of the impulse diet of Mikhail Ginzburg ^
The key link and the basis of this food system are unloading days. The diet of such days consists of light, protein foods, fruits and vegetables. Discharges are arranged every other day, but not less than twice a week.
Doing this is often not recommended - the body should not suffer from the lack of nutrients necessary for normal life. You can unload every day, using light breakfasts and dinners, while leaving a satisfying lunch.
The author's version of unloading days is based on the use of special mixtures. If there is no opportunity to purchase special ready meals, it can be replaced by low-fat varieties of meat and fish. Ginzburg's method allows for a while to stop unloading days and just stick to a low-fat diet, while the weight will not be added. It all depends on the degree of obesity or the number of extra pounds. When the unloading days resume, the weight will start to decrease again.
The body quickly adapts to an orderly regimen and low-fat food. This allows you to switch the metabolism to lose weight and extract energy from old stocks. The food system does not imply limiting the amount of food and calories consumed, giving up carbohydrates and sweets( within reasonable limits), but the daily intake of fat should not exceed 40 grams.
Eat only foods that do not exceed 5% of calories. Products, the use of which should be limited or eliminated altogether: many fats are found in margarine, oil, fat, fatty meat and dairy products, chocolate, cream and biscuits.
