Unloading days and contrast food
To reduce body weight at home 1-2 times a week, you can spend unloading days, during which to eat significantly less energy. In this case, in the diet, as a rule, introduce monotonous products.
Unloading days by chemical composition are divided into carbohydrate( apple, watermelon, cucumber, etc.);fatty( sour cream or cream);protein( meat, curd, kefir, fish);combined( complex).
When choosing a day off, the tastes and habits of the patient should be taken into account, however, the treatment of obesity is best starting from meat, curd or sour-day, as they are easier to tolerate by the body, and are not inferior in effect to others. If the patient is well tolerated by hunger, felt on a fasting day, to enhance the therapeutic effect, it is recommended to conduct double unloading days.
The principle of restriction of protein and fat in the diet for the introduction of products containing complex carbohydrates, vegetable fiber, vitamins, mineral salts is based on carbohydrate unloading days. For this purpose, apples of unsweetened varieties, fresh cucumbers, watermelons, tomatoes, plums, cherries, currants, and other vegetables and fruits are most often used.
During a day at regular intervals, a patient consumes 1500 grams of any of these products in raw form for 5 doses. Admission of additional liquid during the discharge days is usually not recommended, because the products used contain a sufficient amount of water.
Fat unloading days stimulate the activity of enzymes that break down fats, inhibit the transfer of carbohydrates to fats and create peace of an overexcited insulin apparatus of the pancreas of an obese patient. On this day, 500 g of 20% sour cream or cream are consumed in 5 equal portions at the same intervals. Twice a day, you can drink 1 cup of coffee with milk without sugar or a rose hips.
Protein unloading days are easily tolerated by obese patients. They improve the metabolism and increase the activity of enzymes that destroy fat.
For protein discharge days can be used cottage cheese, which is consumed 150 grams 4 times a day with 15 grams of sour cream. Two more times you can drink 1 glass of coffee with milk( 50 g) without sugar or with sorbitol. Kefir day is carried out using 1500 ml of kefir, which is divided into 6 receptions of 250 ml.
Meat unloading days are quite effective. For the whole day, 450 grams of boiled low-fat meat is recommended( usually from 600 g of raw meat), which is divided into 5 portions. At this unloading it is allowed to use 3 cups of coffee with milk without sugar( it is possible with sorbitol or xylitol) and 2 glasses of wild rose hips.
It is recommended to use different combinations of products in combined unloading days. For example, on a rice-apple unloading day, the patient receives 3 portions of rice porridge( 25 grams of rice and 150 ml of milk per serving) and 800-1000 g of raw or baked apples.
When combining cottage cheese with curdled milk, take 3 portions of cottage cheese for 150 g( you can prepare curd bars) and 3 servings of curdled milk for 200-250 g. Combine preferably close to the chemical composition of products( meat and fish, vegetables and fruits, vegetables and berries, P.).
If 2 consecutive days are used, then the first is better to conduct meat, and then sour or vegetable. As a result of such 2 unloading days, the body weight may decrease by 2-2.5 kg.
During the days of unloading it is advisable to engage in ordinary physical or mental work, which distracts from thoughts about food. Food should be taken separately from other family members.
The efficiency of a fasting day is desirable to be controlled by weighing. Night sleep during discharge is extended to 9 hours.
Unloading days are used to treat not only obesity, but also other diseases: jade, gout, chronic kidney failure, etc.
In diet therapy, contrast food is successfully used, in which the diet of each subsequent day differs significantly from the diet of the previous day. The contrast of food products activates metabolic processes, allows you to diversify the food and its components.
For the treatment of obesity, you can use a diet, for which for each of the 6 days of the week a different menu is offered: vegetable, meat, egg, milk, fish, fruit.
On the seventh day the patient is allowed to eat at his own discretion. This diet is made with a slight restriction of the energy value of food, with frequent meals in small portions.
