The metabolic diet is a system of power, which will help even those who have already decided that the extra weight is a sentence for life. If you tried all the possible ways, and each time another attempt to lose weight is a fiasco, then you need to think about the hormones. These “grey cardinals” manage all processes in the body, including weight reduction process and, conversely, the accumulation of extra pounds.
If you know what hormones are and how it affects weight loss, you can easily understand the essence of the diet. And it consists in suppressing the production of hormones that increase fat stores, and activation of the opposite – fat burn. And will help in most conventional products. Extreme restriction is not required, the weight slowly (0.5-1 kg per week), but for a long time. This technique is very well suited for young mums who have hormones after childbirth is still unstable.
The stages of the metabolic diet
You have to go through 3 stages. Calorie control is not required, it is necessary to consider only the points from 0 to 4. For this purpose there is a special product table below. Still have to comply with diet, but it is not burdensome. On the day there are five not very impressive meals. If done correctly, the results of the wait itself will not.
Step 1. Shifted from the “dead spots”. Two weeks are going to eat food with zero points, drinking water, vitamins and eat a tablespoon of flax or olive oil daily. If there is a weakness, dizziness, tinnitus, then drink sweet tea. You can immediately start with the second stage, and if you have a chronic illness, it is even necessary.
Step 2. The stabilization. The duration of this period of weight loss depends on the amount of fat. Continue losing weight until the desired weight plus another week or two (for redundancy). In each meal you can eat the products of the corresponding group or combine, but not to exceed the limit. Serving 200-300 grams. Points in the meal will depend on the time of day:
- 8-10 hours – 4 points;
- 11-12 hours – 2 points;
- 14-15 hours – 2 points;
- 17-18 hours bull;
- 19-20 hours – 0 points.
The hormone diet can not be moved and to combine meals, skip and add points to the next. If the meal accidentally missed your points expire.
Step 3. “Repetition is the mother of learning”. Ideally, metabolic nutrition at this stage we need to respect all life. This is a fully balanced diet. Dinner remains unchanged. Other meals (choose any) should be added gradually at 1 point and follow the arrow on the scale. As soon as she swung in a big way, the number immediately diminish. Thus, you will be able to calculate your optimal diet.
