Carbohydrate diet

While some seek to reduce the amount of carbohydrates consumed, others are developing a diet for weight loss, in which the main component is the carbohydrate food. Of course, say, a cake, although rich in carbohydrates, still does not go into such a diet. The carbohydrate diet is based on foods that are rich in complex carbohydrates, thanks to which you can effectively reduce weight.

The menu of a simple carbohydrate diet

You can stick to such a carbohydrate diet for a week, or you can - all your life. It is simple and in fact is vegetarian. But vegetarians are known for their slender figures and lightness in the whole body! To stick to this diet is incredibly simple. You can eat in any quantity such products:

• all types of cereals in the form of cereals, soups, etc .;
• any beans - peas, lentils, kidney beans (necessarily - a vegetable protein);
• any fruit;
• all vegetables except potatoes.

In this diet there is a strict ban - on sugar and bread. However, sometimes you can afford a piece of grain, but wheat, white bread - highly undesirable!

You can eat this way until you reach the desired weight. Adding animal proteins in the future should be carefully and be sure to control the weight in order to avoid fast mass gain (if suddenly you immediately after the diet decide to attack the shish kebab - this will be a mistake). To control the caloric intake of a diet on a carbohydrate diet, caloric content tables of vegetables and fruits (after all, it should become the main components of nutrition).

Diet - protein day, carbohydrate day

This "striped" diet requires making a small correction to the system described above. Odd days should pass exactly as described in the previous diet, but even the need to devote protein food. Meat, poultry, fish, cheese, eggs, cottage cheese and dairy products can be added except for a few fresh, better leaf, vegetables. Such a diet is given quite easily, and you can lose weight on it as long as you like.

Of course, on protein days you need to eat boiled or baked meat, not sausage.

Carbohydrate diet for athletes

This diet is called a diet of carbohydrate alternation, and it is popular in the sports environment because it allows you to reduce the amount of subcutaneous fat, while not parting with the muscles.

The entire period that it lasts (it can be from two weeks to several months) is broken down into four-day cycles, and on this basis the calorie intake is calculated:

1. The first two days of the cycle are low-carbohydrate (per 1 kg of weight 0.5-1 g, calculated individually).
2. The third day dramatically increases the number of carbohydrates (for 1 kg of weight - 4-5 g of carbohydrates).
3. The fourth day is balanced (both protein and carbohydrates need to consume 2-3 grams per kilogram of weight).

Weight on this diet goes slowly, but leaves. For the first two days of the cycle, you must you will lose weight, but on the third day it will return, and in the fourth it will be saved. In the next two days of the cycle, the weight will decrease again, and thus it will gradually decrease. In order to achieve impressive results, you need at least a month.

Many have not been able to lose weight on this diet for a simple reason - they are lazy to count calories. In order to succeed on such a system, it is necessary to keep a diary of nutrition and scrupulously calculate both calories and indicators of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. This is possible only if you keep an online diary, which itself will calculate the required parameters. If you are not ready for such devotion, it is better not to take up this system for it.
