Metabolic Diet

Metabolic diet is a weight loss method basedon the acceleration of metabolism in the body. It is distinguished by its effectiveness and lasting preservation of the result.

The essence and characteristics of the hormonal metabolic technique of weight loss ^

The meaning of the metabolic diet is to minimize the release of hormones of insulin and estrogen, on which the accumulation of fat deposits depends, and to promote the appearance of hormones that burn fats( epinephrine, norepinephrine, testosterone, somatotropin).

In order to lose weight, you do not need to count calories and starve the body. The secret of the food system is simple - you need to correctly distribute the products in the daily diet.

Often in the reviews of the metabolic diet indicate the absence of contraindications, but in fact it is not. There is a certain risk. It is associated with changes in the hormonal system that are stressful to the body.

This is especially true for people suffering from cancer, diabetes and disorders of the endocrine system. Pregnant women and lactating mothers are forbidden the first stage of the diet. Before the start of the dietary course, you should always consult a doctor.

Pros of the metabolic method of weight loss:

• You do not need to count the calories eaten and forbid your favorite dishes.
• The principle of a competent approach to making menus brings results even at night - protein food, eaten for dinner without carbohydrates, promotes the formation of a somatotropin, which burns fat cells.
• This system is balanced, includes all the necessary substances and does not harm the body.
• Suitable for people with diseases of the digestive system.
