PROTEIN
DIETS |
 Protein
diets are very effective if you need to lose some extra pounds fast.
The high protein diet is becoming one of the most popular diets in the
world.
Protein is an essential
component in anyone’s diet since it is from
protein that we gain the amino-acids that are important in making many
cells in our bodies; this includes muscles, hair, nails,
etc. Eating
protein produces a moderate amount of insulin but also produces the
hormone glucagon. This hormone stimulates the body to get rid of fat by
burning it for energy; it also decreases the body’s
production of cholesterol and stimulates the kidney to release excess
salt and fluid. It also maintains your blood sugar level counteracting
the effect of insulin, which lowers the blood sugar levels.

You can follow this diet for no more than 10 days.
It is very strict and you should follow it without breaking the rules.

Hyper protein Diet
|
This diet lasts for 1 month and consists of two stages. You will lose
about 15 pounds.
First stage
1st
day: eat only fruits and drink only water.
2nd
- 9th days: eat only protein foods and no alcohol.
On the 4th day your body starts burning fat.
List of protein foods:
Very
high protein (more than 15 g): cheese, low fat cottage
cheese, red meat, chicken, most fish, soy, beans, nuts.
High
protein (10-15 g): cottage cheese, pork, eggs, oatmeal
cereal, buckwheat cereal, millet cereal, wheat flour, frankfurters
Medium
protein (5-9.9 g): rye and wheat bread, barley cereal,
rice, green peas
Low
protein (2-4.9 g): milk, kefir, sour cream, ice cream,
spinach, potato, cauliflower
Very
low protein (0.4-1.9 g): vegetables, fruits, berries,
mushrooms |
10th
- 24th days: follow food combining. Add physical
exercises, including 20 minues of jogging.
Here are some rules for
food combining:
Don't
mix starch foods with protein foods at the same meal.
1.
Eat starches and acids at separate meals. Acids neutralize the alkaline
medium required for starch digestion and the result is indigestion and
fermentation.
2. Eat carbohydrate foods and protein foods
at separate meals. Protein
foods require an acid medium for digestion.
3. Eat only one kind of protein food at a
meal.
4. Eat proteins and acid foods at separate
meals. The acids of acid
foods inhibit the secretion of the digestive acids required for protein
digestion. Undigested proteins putrefy in bacterial decomposition and
produces some potent poisons.
5.
Eat proteins and fats at separate meals. Some foods, especially nuts,
are over 50% fat and require hours for digestion.
6. Eat proteins and sugars (fruits) at
separate meals.
7. Eat starchy foods and sugars (fruits) at
separate meals. Fruits
undergo no digestion in the stomach and are held up if eaten with foods
which require digestion in the stomach.
8. Eat melons alone. Melons combine with
almost no other food.
9. Forget the desserts. Eaten on top of meals they lie heavy on the
stomach, requiring no digestion there, and ferment. Bacteria turn them
into alcohols, acetic acids and vinegars. |
Second stage
25th
day: water and fruits
Next
7 days: only protein foods.

| HEALTH TIP |
Short term
high-protein diets are generally safe for healthy adults.
Consult your doctor first:
Before you start a high
protein, low carb diet plan, you may want to get a doctor's advice.
Though this diet is generally healthy, you might have a health
condition that requires a low protein diet. A doctor can recommend you
to a nutritionist who can design a personalized meal plan for you.
Watch out for mood changes:
People who follow a high protein diet often experiences drastic mood
changes. So if you have a tendency to be moody to begin with then this
type of diet might not be for you.
Intellectual capacity:
A diet that contains high proteins with fewer carbs may affect your
intellectual capacity. People who have followed this diet have reported
a slight reduction in their mental capacities. If your job requires
mental acuity then following this diet may not be a wise choice.
Fatigue:
A low carb diet can result to fatigue. Carbohydrates is the body's
source of energy so the absence of carbohydrates in the diet can lead
to feelings of exhaustion and fatigue. This is therefore not
recommended for athletes and people who do physical work. The best
thing here is to make sure that you are getting the right amount of
carbs that you need.
