The results of the Kremlin diet. Reviews of those who have lost weight

If the diet is followed correctly, the process of losing weight will begin immediately. The greater the initial body weight of a person, the easier it is for him to part with it. In the first 8-10 days of the diet, you can lose an average of 5 kg... And in a month and a half you can get rid of 10-15 kg. The results of your weight loss will depend on your willpower and your desire for a slim figure.

Rita, 29 years old:
Thanks to the "Kremlin" I managed to lose weight well. I sat on it strictly for about 2 months. The first week I ate so that I gained 18-19 points per day. These were mainly meat and eggs, cottage cheese and some other dairy products. Then she began to expand the menu, and tried to keep within 30-35 points a day. Kilograms left at first quickly, then a little slower, as I began to allow myself a little more varied food. The advantage of the diet is that you almost never feel hunger on it. Yes, sometimes I wanted something sweet, but I was able to endure the lack of baked goods in my diet. Moreover, after 2 months I got used to eating like that, counting points. In 2 months I got rid of 15.5 kilograms and I think the result is amazing.

Inga, 35 years old:
We sat on the Kremlin diet with a friend for exactly a month. Both are happy with the results. I lost 8 kilograms, she is 6.5 kg. But initially my weight was higher than hers. I was pleased with the diet that I did not have to give up alcohol completely. It was during the Easter holidays and we could afford some wine. And they could also eat eggs almost without restrictions. Recommended.

Olga, 51 years old:
A wonderful diet. I found out about her from the newspaper, immediately cut out a table of products with glasses for myself, and began to lose weight. The first days it was difficult to make a menu and count everything. But after a week I memorized all the designations, and could easily make a menu for myself. If I wanted to pamper myself with fruit for lunch, then I tried to eat food with 0 points for breakfast and dinner. It is a pity, of course, that I had to completely abandon cereals and sweets. But on the other hand, I lost 14 kg in 2.5 months. A year has passed since then, and my weight has not returned. Although I still try to count points sometimes and out of habit I eat as if I'm on a diet.

What principles is the Kremlin diet based on? How effective and safe is it? Can the diet be harmful to the body? Table of the Kremlin diet (full version for printing), reviews of nutritionists and doctors.

Is it possible to lose weight by eating hearty meat products? Is it possible during the "diet" to eat your fill and not starve? What about food delicacies, alcohol and sausages? All these questions are answered in the affirmative by the famous Kremlin method of losing weight. It refutes the well-known canons about weight loss and makes the body lose weight rapidly.

Features of the "Kremlin"

The incredible results and the original name draw attention to this weight loss system. "Kremlin", the diet of the Kremlin "inhabitants", the "diet of astronauts" has been popular for several decades.

About how satisfying to eat and lose weight, books have been published and practical guides... Those who, adhering to such a food system, said goodbye to overweight... They do not say one thing about her - who invented this method of losing weight? And what does he have to do with the Kremlin or the astronauts?

History and fiction

The diet belongs to food systems without an author. Despite its popularity, high interest from the population, not a single doctor put his signature on it. The name "Kremlin" also looks dubious. Obviously, she had no direct relation to the party leadership of the USSR, there is no evidence that the doctors of the Soviet Union prescribed a diet rich in proteins and fats to someone from the party elite.

Probably, the name "Kremlin" arose in response to the interest of the country's population in everything related to the life of the party elite. Perhaps it was someone's "cunning marketing ploy" to draw attention to the diet, transformed from the principles of the Atkinson weight loss system, taking into account the Soviet and then Russian realities.

There is also another opinion. The menu for the week of the Kremlin diet is made up of delicious products, often delicacies, including meat, seafood, and cheeses. In the past, such food was available only to the party elite, and therefore associations arose with the Kremlin, the diet of “leaders” and “astronauts”, whose food was always balanced, nourishing and high in protein.

Diet principles

Be that as it may, the Kremlin's weight loss has become widespread in the CIS countries. The following factors attract attention to it.

• There is no need to impoverish the diet.“Doctors have always told us that in order to lose weight it is necessary to eat as little eggs, butter, and meat as possible,” comments a diet fan, author of a book about the Kremlin, journalist Evgeny Chernykh. - But this paradoxical nutritional system does not force you to abandon them. You need to eat a lot of meat, especially at first, do not limit other protein foods. But the amount of carbohydrates should be reduced. There are results, and they have been proven by dozens of my readers. Weight is actively lost already in the first days of the diet. "
• The fat is burned out. A secret intensive weight loss the author considers the process of converting internal adipose tissue into energy. The body is deprived of its main source of energy - carbohydrates, and in their absence is forced to seek its own reserves. And they are in the form of fat in excess.
• Alcohol is allowed. Alcoholic drinks prohibited in all diets are allowed here. You can use and dry wine and vodka and brandy. But Evgeny Chernykh clarifies that when alcohol is consumed, appetite increases and it becomes very difficult to fight the desire to eat something “tasty” from prohibited foods.
• You can't eat uncontrollably. Despite the fact that the food system encourages the use of meat, fish, and other protein products, they are not allowed to eat without restrictions. “Look at your palm,” Yevgeny Chernykh comments. "This is how your portion of meat should be."
• Are important physical exercise. "Kremlyovka" does not call for spending hours in the gym, but it is necessary to increase physical activity. Losing weight is recommended to walk more, do a set of exercises at home, swim, ride a bike. The lower your daily workload, for example, when sedentary work, the more intense the additional should be.

The first results are noted already on the fifth day of dieting. The weight starts to go away along with the volumes. During the first week, you can lose up to four kilograms. The rate of weight loss persists until the second week, then decreases. With long-term adherence to the diet, you will continue to lose weight, but more slowly than at the beginning.

Points

The essence of the Kremlin diet is to endow each product with a value in conventional units or points (points). They are determined not by calories, but by the level of carbohydrates. C.u. system conditional, it does not specify the actual energy value of a particular product, but only its position on the “ladder of acceptable products” in a given diet.

After reviewing the table of the Kremlin diet, the full version for printing of which is presented below, you will see that all types of meat and offal (from zero to two cu) have the minimum value in points, the value of sausages, cheeses, and dairy products is low. The maximum score in points is dried fruits, jams, sweets.

The menu for the month should be compiled on the basis of the following principles:

• up to forty points a day - active weight loss is in progress;
• up to sixty points per day - the weight remains stable;
• more than sixty points a day - the weight is growing.

Thus, you can include any products in the daily diet, based on their "cost", but with the condition that in total during the day they do not "go through" the required number of points.

When forming an individual diet, consider the following points.

• The content of points in one hundred grams of the product. The table indicates how many points are contained not in a portion, but in one hundred grams of a particular product. That is, having drunk a glass of pasteurized milk with a fat content of 2.5%, with a capacity of 250 ml, you will not get 4.8 points, but 12 points.
• Activity throughout the day. People engaged in active work or accustomed to intense sports loads, can increase the "value" of the diet up to eighty or even one hundred points, and at the same time will not get better. When sedentary work, adhere to the maximum recommended indicators must be strictly.
• Compliance with three meals a day. You cannot starve on a diet, it is important to eat at least three times during the day. If you feel like having a snack late at night or some time after breakfast, do so.

“When you reach the desired weight, eat whatever you want, but for a total 'amount' of sixty points a day, - continues Evgeny Chernykh. - Watch your weight, if it remains stable, you can indulge in sweets on holidays. But if the weight starts to increase, reduce the number of points per day to forty. "

Products for the Kremlin diet. Detailed table

The complete table of ready-made meals for the Kremlin diet includes meat, fish, poultry, cheeses, and dairy products.

• First meal. The maximum cost in points is for pea soup, the minimum for meat and chicken broths. Preferred first courses are meat and mushroom hodgepodge, sorrel cabbage soup, fresh and sauerkraut, borscht, meat okroshka and kefir or kvass, milk soups with cabbage, rice, pasta,. The cost of these dishes is up to seven points. The maximum "cost" of the first courses is from fifteen to twenty points for mushroom, tomato, pea soups.
• Meat dishes. Fried, boiled, stewed meat has zero "cost". Such dishes include entrecotes, steaks, beef, pork, lamb, chicken, cooked in any way. The addition of cereals significantly increases the scores of each dish, since the "cost" of meatballs is already $ 18, like pilaf. The highest "price" of dishes with the addition of flour: pies with meat and onions, pies with meat are estimated at thirty-six points.
• Porridge. All types of cereals have a high nutritional "value" in this diet. So the minimum "price" of liquid "Hercules" is ten points per hundred grams, and rice and porridge are already twenty-three - twenty-six points. Since the weight of an average portion is about two hundred grams, one portion of porridge provides the daily "value" in the diet. For this reason, cereals are completely excluded from the Kremlin diet menu.
• Vegetable dishes. With vegetable dishes, too, not everything is clear. At first glance, they are low in calories, but vegetables are rich in carbohydrates, therefore, in all versions of the Kremlin diet menu, vegetable dishes are used in limited quantities every day for a week. “For the first time, you will have to forget about vegetables, especially sweet ones,” clarifies the theoretician of the Kremlyovka Yevgeny Chernykh. "But then it will be possible to return to them."
• Bread, flour dishes. The diet excludes the possibility of eating all meals that include flour. They have the highest "value" in the points table. Thus, the minimum price for non-fat soy flour is 22 points, while for products made from ordinary flour, it approximately doubles. The minimum "value" of thirty-four points is characterized by rye bread, the maximum - wheat bread, fifty points.
• Cereals. Cereals contain the maximum amount of carbohydrates. Nutritionists classify them as "long" carbohydrates, which distinguishes them from simple or "short" carbohydrates found in sweet baked goods and white flour products. In the body, such carbohydrates do not cause a sharp jump in insulin, while providing a long-term feeling of fullness. But in the Kremlin method of losing weight, cereals are under a strict taboo, since they all have a high "cost".
• Canned food. Compared to cereals, canned foods have a lower "cost", therefore, their use in the diet is allowed. This applies to canned fish, meat and vegetables.
• Meat, fish offal. They can be used as the main products of this diet, as they are included in the list of protein meals. It is allowed to use them fried, boiled, salted, dried.
• Cheese. Kremlin diet recipes often include cheese. You can safely use them, and absolutely different types, since according to the layout of points, most of them have zero "value". These include cheeses Biysk, Holland, Kostroma, Latvian, Poshekhonsky, Pribaltiysky, Roquefort, Russian, Uglichsky, Cheddar, Yaroslavsky, Swiss. The maximum "cost" of cheeses does not exceed four points.
• Dairy products. Kremlin diet table, full printable, pays great attention dairy products. Of more than thirty items, only a few have a "value" in points that exceeds thirty conventional units. These include cream, glazed curds and all types of condensed milk. Ordinary milk is estimated at 4.9 points, butter - 0.8 points, milk cheese - feta cheese - 0.5 points, sour cream - 3.9 points.
• Sausages. "Kremlevka" is almost the only diet that does not exclude, but on the contrary, recommends the use of sausages. All popular varieties of sausages are allowed, including boiled, boiled-smoked, semi-smoked, sausages, sausages. The maximum "value" of sausages in the diet is only 2.5 points.
• Jam. The diet excludes foods containing sugar from the diet, so all types of jam are rated too high in it - from sixty-five to seventy-five points. The exception is applesauce without added sugar, its "price" - nineteen points.
• Vegetables. "Kremlevka" does not exclude the use of vegetables, but it is noted that melons, legumes and other types of vegetables contain a large amount of carbohydrates, so they should be consumed in moderation and not regularly. All types of cabbage, lettuce, green beans, all types of greens are endowed with the minimum number of points. The maximum is potatoes cooked in any way.
• Sweets. There is no diet that allows you to eat sweets. Kremlin is no exception. The taboo on the consumption of sweets is imposed due to the high content of fast carbohydrates in them, which cause a sharp release of insulin into the blood, stimulate appetite, and contribute to the storage of adipose tissue. The most "expensive" product in the diet is sugar, it is estimated at 99 points. The "cheapest" is ice cream, its cost is within thirty points.
• Dried fruits. Another product, the "price" of which does not fit into the diet of losing weight. Dried fruits are rich in natural sugars, respectively, and carbohydrates. They are rated from fifty-three points for apricots to sixty-six points for raisins.

The menu should include permitted foods. You can get acquainted with what the Kremlin diet allows, and what should be abandoned, in the table. Here's a list.

Benefits and contraindications

Reviews about Kremlin diet demonstrate its effectiveness. By adhering to this weight loss system, many people have managed to cope with excess weight. This is indicated by the author of the book about the "Kremlin" Evgeny Chernykh, who himself got rid of excess weight with her help.

There are other benefits of this weight loss system as well.

• Lots of foods in the diet. Unlike most diets that limit the range of foods, the Kremlin allows you to eat a huge number of dishes. Among them are meat, fish, dairy, first, vegetable, canned food, sausages. You can create a varied menu for 10 days, a month or longer.
• Not hungry. The diet eliminates the need to starve, moreover, the need to eat according to appetite is indicated.
• Familiar and familiar products. There are no unfamiliar or expensive foods in the diet. The menu is made up of ordinary dishes, with the exception of pastries, bread, sweets, and some types of vegetables.

Turning to this diet, you should take into account its contraindications. Its observance during pregnancy, breastfeeding is not allowed. It is not recommended to adhere to a low-carbohydrate diet for kidney disease, a tendency to constipation, and other disorders of the gastrointestinal tract.

“In our time, only the lazy didn’t write about the Kremlin diet,” nutritionist Lyudmila Denisenko comments on the question. "But among these people there is not a single doctor who would recommend this nutritional system for weight loss."

There are certainly benefits to such a diet.

• Real weight loss. Most people manage to lose weight without limiting themselves in the consumption of meat products.
• Attention to your own diet. Following this diet forces you to pay attention to what you are eating and evaluate the impact of food on your health. The benefit in this case is the complete elimination of sweets, carbonated drinks, chips, baked goods and other high-calorie foods from the diet. The diet forms food habits to which our body adapts within twenty-one days. We get used to not eating sweet and starchy foods, and this is already a big plus.

"But the harm that the Kremlin diet does to the body is much greater," notes Lyudmila Denisenko.

• Scoring. At first glance, there is nothing difficult in calculating them, because you can use the table of ready-made dishes. But it is important to take into account that this table gives points per one hundred grams of product weight, that is, before eating, you need to weigh the products, calculate the points, understand how much you can eat this or that dish, and how much you cannot. “Many people, tired of the constant hassle of weighing and counting, simply switch to meat products,” comments Lyudmila Denisenko. "And they stop eating not only bread and cereals, but fruits and vegetables rich in carbohydrates."
• Deficiency of dietary fiber. The lack of a sufficient amount of fiber in the diet, the source of which can only be vegetables, leads to intestinal disruption. The composition of the microflora changes, constipation occurs, bloating and flatulence disturb.
• Vitamin deficiency. Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper actively promoted the Kremlin diet in Russia. In a series of articles describing the principles of nutrition, the need to include minerals and vitamins in the diet was noted, since they are critically insufficient in the daily menu.
• Intoxication of the body. All low carb or protein diets are aimed at intensive burning of body fat. It is provoked by the lack of intake of carbohydrates from food, which are necessary for the mental and physical work of the body. Fat masses begin to break down, but due to metabolic disorders in the process of their combustion, new compounds are formed - ketone bodies. These substances are aggressive towards our own cells, can cause damage to the liver and brain, but especially aggressively affect the kidneys. A sign of the formation of ketone bodies in the body is the general malaise of a person on a protein diet. Headache, nausea, weakness occur.
• Lack of nutrition for the brain. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for our body and brain. By eliminating carbohydrate foods from your diet, you are depriving yourself of the energy to work, both physically and mentally. That is why such a diet cannot be recommended for people engaged in mental work and active physical work.

In addition to the fact that "Kremlevka" recommends a diet rich in proteins, it does not limit the fats in the diet. The fattest foods, such as lard, beef tallow, butter, have, according to the table of points, zero "value". Eating unrestricted fat is dangerous for of cardio-vascular system, as it causes an increase in cholesterol levels, the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.

“There is a common truth,” the endocrinologist-nutritionist Elmira Khaibulina continues to analyze the topic. - When losing weight, the body should only lose fat. Within a week, the fat mass can be reduced by 500-700 grams. If, as a result of the diet, you lose more, then you are losing more than just fat. "

What else can our body lose with intense weight loss?

• Liquid. Low-carbohydrate diets deplete our muscle glycogen stores. This substance serves not only as a source of fast energy, but also stores water in the muscles. Just one gram of glycogen can hold almost three grams of water in our body. Losing glycogen, the body actually dehydrates, "dries up", which is the reason for the effect fast weight loss on a low-carb diet. The effect of "shrinkage", by the way, is used by bodybuilders before the competition in order to more clearly highlight the muscle pattern. But they cause short-term dehydration of the body, literally for two days, whereas on a diet you provoke intercellular and cellular dehydration for several weeks and months.
• Muscle mass. “The body is cruelly avenging itself for experiments,” continues Elmira Khaibulina. "Loss of muscle mass is much faster than fat loss." At first glance, the weight is going away, but in reality you are losing tissue, which is primarily interested in the energy consumption in your body. Muscles are the most "gluttonous" in relation to carbohydrates, they draw out seven times more energy than fats. But our body parts with them much more readily than with fat, therefore, with a sharp change in diet, a decrease in carbohydrate consumption, the volume of muscle tissue decreases much faster than fat.

"One more important point, - specifies the endocrinologist-nutritionist Elmira Khaibulina. - Carbohydrates are essential for the work of the pancreas, which produces insulin. The absence of carbohydrates excludes the possibility of normal production of insulin, and without this hormone, food in our body cannot be absorbed correctly. There is a high likelihood of discord endocrine system, and this is already a very serious violation. "

The results of the Kremlin diet are short-term and long-term. At the first stage, you will really notice a decrease in weight, which will go away not so much with fatty tissues, but with water and muscle mass... The longer you stay on a low-carb diet, the more harm you will do to your body in the form of digestive upset, mineral and vitamin deficiencies, and endocrine disruption.

Check with your dietitian before embarking on a diet that is extremely high in protein, fat and low in carbohydrates. It is unlikely that a specialist will approve of such a decision, but he will recommend a completely different menu, including a balanced composition of carbohydrates and protein, the right fats.

Kremlin diet reviews

Below you will find reviews of those who have lost weight, doctors and photographs of people who followed the Kremlin diet.

In the Kremlin diet, a person drastically reduces the amount of carbohydrates consumed.

What kind of diet is this?

According to the rules of this diet, each product has its own price, indicated in conventional units (cu) or points. $ 1 or a score equal to 1 g of carbohydrates found in food. That is, in the Kremlin, you need to calculate the number of points consumed per day, and at Atkins - the amount of carbohydrates in grams, which is practically the same.

Like Atkins, the Kremlin one consists of 4 stages:

• Induction phase- helps the body switch from burning carbohydrates to burning fat. This stage lasts two weeks (fourteen days). A person is allowed to consume up to 20 points per day.
• Active weight loss phase- the second stage of the Kremlin diet, during which a person is allowed to increase the carbohydrate content in the diet to 40 points.
• Transition phase- a person goes to this stage when he has to lose 3-5 kg ​​of excess weight. It consists in a further increase in the carbohydrate content in daily diet nutrition.
• Maintenance phase- The goal of this phase is to maintain a stable weight for the rest of your life.

During the entire period of the first stage of the course, namely - fourteen days, no more, the body does not receive a sufficient amount of carbohydrates, which is necessary for its normal functioning.

Therefore, there is an enhanced processing of fat reserves accumulated in the body, it enters a state of ketosis. At the same time, the glucose content in the blood decreases rather quickly.

To replenish it, the body is forced to take emergency measures, this followers explain the intensive processing of accumulated lipids.

A person in ketosis gets their energy from ketones, small molecules of carbohydrates that are formed when fat is broken down.

When the body is in a state of ketosis (breaking down fats), a person feels less hungry, so they eat less.

However, ketosis can cause various undesirable consequences - for example, bad breath in exhaled air, constipation.

As a result of these changes, the body shifts from burning carbohydrates to burning fat.

Thus, the accumulated adipose tissue becomes the main source of energy, which leads to weight loss.

You can consider in more detail what happens when you eat carbohydrate-rich foods.

Sugar from carbohydrates quickly enters the bloodstream. To keep its concentration in the blood at a stable level, the body produces insulin. The action of insulin causes excess sugar to be stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen.

When a certain level of glycogen is reached in these organs, insulin promotes the conversion of sugar into fats.

According to Dr. Atkins' theory, if the body continues to produce too much insulin in response to excess sugar in the bloodstream, it may become less sensitive to the action of this hormone.

As a result of this insulin resistance, metabolic disorders and diabetes mellitus can develop.

However, the body in a state of ketosis burns excess fat and - according to Dr. Atkins's theory - gradually returns to normal metabolic function. By the same theory, although in some people such a diet can lead to high cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, their levels quickly decrease with weight loss.

Counting conventional units

The calculation of conventional units (points) must be done every day.

Example ... One conventional unit is equal to one gram of carbohydrates in 100 grams of any food product. We have different foods, the amount of carbohydrates in which we know.

We calculate points with the goal of resetting overweight, we eat just enough so as not to exceed the number of conventional units (points).

General issues

Kremlevskaya is one of the popular low-carb diets.

All consumed products have individual conventional units (points) indicated in a special table.

If it is observed, their consumption is counted throughout the course.

Who Developed the Kremlin Diet?

On closer examination of the principles, you will notice that it is an almost complete copy of Atkins, which was developed by the American cardiologist Robert Atkins.

For the first time, publicly available information appeared in the books of Evgeny Chernykh "The Kremlin Diet" and Vilena Gurova "The Kremlin Diet in Detail" much later than the information about Atkins. That is, despite all the desire for originality, the Kremlin is one of the clones of the low-carb Atkins diet.

Promises and theory

It promises not only weight loss in the absence of fasting with a low-carb diet, but also improved heart and memory health and other benefits for the body.

It is based on the theory that obese people consume too many carbohydrates. Human body uses fats and carbohydrates for energy, but carbohydrates are the first to be burned. By drastically reducing the intake of carbohydrates and increasing the intake of fats and proteins, a person naturally reduces weight due to more efficient burning of accumulated adipose tissue.

Which famous person observed it?

First of all, this is Robert Atkins. But he was not alone. Today we know detailed tables nutritionists such as Agotson and Jan Kwasniewski.

The name of the diet suggests that, according to legends, the "Kremlin elders", the party elite of the Brezhnev era, were fond of it. But let us also point out the American astronauts, for whom the composition of the food plays an important role due to the long stay in zero gravity. Many innovations, introduced for scientific and pragmatic purposes in the development of near-earth orbit, then became the property of all mankind.

This also applies to special meals. Yuri Luzhkov, and even his secretaries, were fond of the "Kremlin" method of nutrition. Many Hollywood actors have gone through the targeted reduction of carbohydrate levels in the body. Until now, musicians and artists of world renown are fond of it, which is considered expensive and prestigious. This is what the followers say.

Basic principles

The Kremlin diet (sometimes in common parlance - the Kremlin) refers to the type of protein. Like other protein diets, it is based on the principle: lots of protein, no carbohydrates. This means that protein foods (meat, fish, eggs, hard cheese) can be taken practically without restrictions, in any quantity and at any time.

Salt, pickles, fried foods, and even ... fatty foods are allowed here. But it's still worth knowing when to stop. Large amounts of any food, incl. and proteinaceous, stretch the stomach chamber and irritate the baroreceptors on its mucous membrane.

Subsequently, impulses from baroreceptors send signals of hunger to the brain.

According to the developers of the diet, excess weight with an increase in the amount of adipose tissue is not formed due to the consumption of meat. And even common fatty foods (lard, sausages, butter) play far from the main role in the growth of body weight.

The main culprit for obesity is carbohydrates.

These compounds are transformed into fats during biochemical reactions. In addition, in response to the presence of glucose in the blood plasma, the pancreas secretes insulin.

The faster the glucose level rises, the more insulin is produced. This hormone promotes the transfer of glucose from the blood plasma to the cell. At the same time, it induces obesity indirectly through other physiological processes. It follows from all this that the easier carbohydrates are absorbed, the more they contribute to obesity.

And if we assume such a situation that a piece of fat and a piece of sugar will enter our digestive tract (gastrointestinal tract) at the same time, then the body will first begin to synthesize fat from sugar, and only then from fat. This hypothetical situation can be developed.

Let's say we ate a piece of meat. Meat protein, like any other, consists of amino acids. In order for the meat to be assimilated in the body, it is necessary that the protein breaks down into amino acids. These amino acids are absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, after which human-specific proteins are synthesized from them.

All these processes of decay, absorption and subsequent synthesis are accompanied by increased energy consumption. The body receives this energy from the breakdown of adipose tissue. After all, fats or triglycerides, designed to provide thermal protection, are high-energy compounds.

As a result, it turns out that we take protein foods, the absorption of which is accompanied by the breakdown of fat. And if this fat is not replenished by taking carbohydrates, then you can achieve weight loss.

A significant minus of protein foods

During the decomposition of protein compounds, a large amount of toxic nitrogenous slags and under-oxidized metabolic products are formed.

It is necessary to ensure the removal of these substances through the kidneys and the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, such a diet must be accompanied by an adequate water load. Water dissolves toxins and promotes their excretion through the kidneys.

Vegetables as a source of fiber should also be present in the diet. Fiber is not absorbed in the intestines. It is a natural sorbent that "pulls" all intestinal toxins on itself, and together with them is removed from the intestines.

All of these provisions can be grouped into four principles:

1. Protein foods dominate the diet
2. The amount of carbohydrates is minimized
3. Vegetables are not only desirable but also required.
4. The daily amount of fluid consumed should be at least 1.5-2 liters.

Kremlevka looks favorably against the background of many other diets for weight loss. Apart from carbohydrates, there are no strict food restrictions, and even less hunger.

On the contrary, you can not embarrass yourself in your favorite meat dishes, without worrying at all that they will turn into extra pounds.

All this is somehow unusual for our traditional idea of ​​weight loss. Therefore, it is not surprising that questions arise on various aspects related to diet.

Indications and contraindications

Indications for the course are overweight in the absence of serious pathologies of the body.

Any nutritional system cannot be suitable for everyone. For the Kremlin, there are a number of restrictions regarding the groups of people who are prohibited from low-carb diets for health reasons.

• pregnant women;
• nursing mothers;
• Athletes and people involved in hard physical work - they need carbohydrates to maintain their physical capabilities.
• People with liver and kidney disease, in whom excessive production of uric acid, nitrogen metabolites and ketones can worsen their condition.
• patients with diseases of the urinary system, including urolithiasis;
• suffering from chronic pathologies of the cardiovascular system (congenital and acquired defects of the heart muscle, diseases of the blood vessels, etc.);
• children and adolescents (age - up to 21 years);
• patients in the postoperative period;
• people who have had any serious illness;
• suffering from chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (chronic gastritis and colitis, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, liver pathology);
• suffering from endocrine diseases, including diabetes mellitus of any type;
• prone to depressive disorders and having episodes of depression, neurosis and any problems of a psycho-emotional nature in the past;
• suffering from any form of gout (joint pathology, in which urates are deposited, that is, uric acid salts in the joints);
• people engaged in heavy physical and / or mental work;
• patients with mental retardation;
• emotionally labile people;
• who do not often eat meat before this period and prefer mainly plant foods;
• people with a history of nutritional disorders (long-term use of unbalanced food products before going through a diet, abuse of high-carbohydrate foods, excessively fatty and protein-rich foods for a long period of time);
• people who are prone to regular overeating;
• suffering from vitamin deficiency, confirmed by a doctor.

One of the main contraindications to which we draw your attention:

You should not "try" to lose weight with the help of the Kremlin, if there is internal uncertainty, fear or doubts about a positive result

Major mistakes

The main mistakes when following the Kremlin diet

1. Refusal from the usual regime (breakfast, lunch, lunch, dinner). It is still necessary to adhere to the usual dietary rhythm. Only in this case will the metabolism be optimal.
2. Refusal of berries and fruits. You can and should eat fresh fruits and berries, which contain a large amount of fiber (grapefruit, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, kiwi, peaches).
3. Avoiding fat. With the rejection of fats in the diet, there is an increase, not a decrease in weight. The Kremlin dietary scheme suggests increasing the daily fat intake by using monounsaturated oils in the diet (for example: olive oil, canola oil, walnut oil, grape oil, pine nut oil).
4. Snacks. Snacks are allowed, but not in the form of crackers and cookies, let alone sweets, but boiled eggs, cheese, sausages, vegetables, yoghurts, etc.
5. Meals at a party "like everyone else". It assumes strict adherence in any setting.
6. Sugar substitutes. Various sweeteners are not prohibited, however, when using them, some people gain weight and an uncontrollable craving for sweets. The body is often unable to fully assimilate the substitute.
7. Calorie. A common myth is that weight loss is explained by a decrease in daily calorie intake. We remind you that fat burning in the case of the Kremlin food system is not due to a decrease in calories, but is determined by the level of insulin in the blood. To be successful, it is required to strictly adhere to all recommendations and consume balanced foods, then it is possible to maintain an effective metabolism and a constant level of insulin.
8. Use low-calorie foods industrial production. These foods are actually high in calories and low in nutritional value and low in carbohydrates. The introduction of these products into the daily menu does not change the prevailing taste habits, therefore it will not contribute to weight loss.
9. Fanatical pursuits physical exercise... The active phase involves those physical activities and sports that bring joy and are not an intractable task.
10. Increased protein intake over carbohydrates. A skew to either side is dangerous. A large amount of meat is a direct path to the appearance of serious pathologies. The daily diet should be as varied as possible and use healthy carbohydrates.

Compliance considerations and media articles

Numerous articles in the media and on the Internet are sometimes full of inaccurate information. Those familiar with the materials get an unreliable idea of ​​the Kremlin diet.

For example, people are sure that all carbohydrates will now be banned, they will have to eat one meat, moreover, fatty, butter and sour cream, and also exclude fresh vegetables, fruits and berries.

Doctors warn:

Check all sources of information, especially on the Internet.

The low-carb diet, which includes the Kremlin, as well as other nutritional systems, pays attention to the principles recognized throughout the world healthy eating, so supporters argue.

The followers also emphasize that reducing the amount of carbohydrates in the daily diet, and not completely rejecting them, contributes, in the absence of contraindications and the correct application of recommendations, to active weight loss without negative consequences for the body and improvement general condition health in general.

Kremlevsk does not imply a complete rejection of carbohydrates!

Peculiarity - consumption limitation carbohydrates, but there is confusion here, since every nutritionist who practices a low-water diet, including the Kremlin one, is guided by his own ideas about their allowable amount in the daily menu.

The opinion of our specialists. Based on many years of observations and practice, we can conclude:

The level of consumption of sugars that is safe for health, which at the same time "works" is an entirely individual indicator.

The amount of carbohydrates consumed in a low-carb diet can only be determined empirically.

For example: one person will completely manage 60 grams of carbohydrates per day and at the same time notice a decrease in weight, another will recover at 50 points, and a third can safely consume 120 grams of carbohydrates.

After a stage of the course, during which weight is actively lost, it is allowed increase your daily carbohydrate intake.

During this period, the daily menu includes:

• vegetables;
• fruits;
• natural milk products;
• whole cereals.

It is completely excluded:

• sugar;
• sugar-containing products;
• white flour products.

Attention! Many experts believe that low-carb diets are hazardous to health.

Kremlin diet, a ticket to the next world

Note that the official recommendation of some nutritionists claims that the range of 45-65% of total calories per day is supposedly safe. At the same time, it is noted that it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of the organism.

The opinion of our specialists... Food, which is characterized by a large amount of protein, contributes to weight loss, but at the same time the excretory load on the body increases.

The consequence is the development of gallstone and urolithiasis, arterial hypertension, osteoporosis, angina pectoris, etc.

Kremlin. Exposure

The Kremlin diet is a commercial project, according to many experts. initially the new kind food was surrounded by a certain aura of mystery and was attributed to American astronauts. What the power supply system consisted of was supposedly a secret. Rumors and speculations were published in the media. When interest was warmed up to the desired condition, the menu was made public.

As an important argument, the argument was made:

With the help of it, representatives of the Moscow city administration and a number of high-ranking government officials, including Yuri Luzhkov, his press secretary at the time Sergei Tsoi, Chairman of the State Duma Boris Gryzlov and Minister of Internal Affairs Rashid Nurgaliev, put their health in order. The journalist of the popular publication “Komsomolskaya Pravda” allegedly also tried the miracle method on himself and was able to publish the “secret” menu and lists.

Stages of the Kremlin diet on the way to weight loss

What is the power supply system?

The power supply system at the Kremlin consists of four stages, each of which has its own characteristics.

How is the first stage going?

The first stage, lasting fourteen days. Reduce carbohydrate intake by up to 20 points daily.

The induction phase is the strictest part, during which carbohydrate intake is most restricted. Supporters are allowed to consume up to 20 points of carbohydrates per day. The purpose of this phase is to start the process of losing weight, which is achieved by:

• Switching the body to burning fat.
• Stabilize blood glucose levels.
• Getting rid of cravings for carbohydrate foods - sweet and starchy foods.

This stage lasts for about 14 days, after which the results should already be visible. To achieve these results, you need to follow these rules:

• It is necessary to eat regularly 4-5 times a day.
• Free to use protein foods(fish, poultry, seafood, eggs) and natural fats (butter, cold-pressed vegetable oils).
• The diet should not contain more than 20 g (points) of carbohydrates per day.
• Do not eat fruits, bread, pasta, starchy vegetables, nuts, legumes and other foods that contain a combination of proteins and carbohydrates.
• When buying products in a store, you need to carefully study their composition and turn Special attention on the content of carbohydrates in them.
• Do not consume drinks containing caffeine. Because it can lower blood glucose levels.
• It is necessary to drink water in sufficient quantity, which is necessary to prevent constipation and eliminate fat breakdown products.
• When visiting restaurants, you should order food without gravies, dressings and sauces, which often contain flour, starch and sugar.

Completely exclude:

• All fruits.
• Flour products.
• Porridge.
• Starchy vegetables (potatoes, corn).
• Any sweets.

Consume without restriction:

• Fish.
• Meat.
• Eggs.
• Butter.

Facts:

The first stage gives a discharge in some cases up to 10 kg.

The results of each of the stages depend on many factors, the main of which is the characteristics of the organism of a particular person. With slow weight loss during the first stage, it is allowed to extend its period.

Meat has zero points according to the system, so it is allowed to eat a lot. The concept of "a lot" is conditional, because you can (but do not need to) eat two kg of meat in one sitting.

You do not need to torment yourself with hunger, you want to, which means you can eat in late time... Comfort for the body is the main rule. Try to keep track of the portions, after a while the need for large amounts of food will disappear. The body adapts.

Second phase

In the transition to the second stage, people who observe it, adapt their diet to their own tastes. First of all, a person must determine what target weight he should achieve.

In the stage of active weight loss, the variety of food should be gradually expanded, and the carbohydrate content can be increased by 5 g per week up to 40 g. Therefore, a person is allowed to more or less diversify the foods he eat. During this time, the body continues to intensively burn fat.

Gradually expanding the diet and increasing the carbohydrate content, a person following the Kremlin diet must determine the amount in food that does not stop weight loss.

Brief the essence of the second phase is the gradual and careful introduction of vegetables first, and after a while:

• Berries.
• Sunflower seeds.
• Nuts.

No more than 5 points are added weekly.

Required:

• Constant weight control.
• Compliance with the intervals between meals (no longer than six 6 hours).
• Control of the amount of food consumed, and the elimination of overeating.

Attention! If you gain weight at this time, you should return to the first stage.

During the second phase, the following rules must be observed:

• Proteins and fats from fish, meat, seafood and eggs remain the basis of the diet.
• You can increase the amount of carbohydrates in food by 5 g per week.
• You can enter the diet with carbohydrate foods of one type at a time.
• If carbohydrate foods lead to weight gain or appetite, the appearance of cravings for carbohydrates, you must immediately stop taking them.
• In the second stage, you need to stay until you have left to reduce the weight by 2.5-5 kg ​​to the target body weight. (For example, a person's weight is 130, and he wants to lose weight to 80. At the first stage, he loses about 5 kg in two weeks, at the second stage he sits until he reaches 85 (5 kg to the goal). Then, we go to the third phase .)

In the second stage, it is allowed to add the following foods to the diet:

• Vegetables: spinach, bell pepper, broccoli, cauliflower, onion, zucchini, tomatoes, asparagus.
• Dairy products: curd cheese, mozzarella, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, heavy cream.
• Nuts and seeds: walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, peanuts, cashews.
• Fruits and berries: blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cantaloupe.

But when adding these products, it should be remembered that it is necessary to calculate the content of carbohydrates in them and not exceed their daily amount.

Stage Three

Third , getting rid of the last extra pounds for 2-3 months. You should proceed to the third stage when it remains to lose 2.5-5 kg ​​before reaching the target weight.

During the transition phase, the range of foods consumed expands even more, a person is allowed to increase the carbohydrate content in the diet by 10 g (points) per week.

You need to continue to do this until he stops losing weight - this is how the critical level of carbohydrates for maintaining weight is determined.

During this stage, body weight decreases very slowly, so it can take up to 3 months.

Important! The effect of the diet is higher and more stable if it is "stretched" over time. Allowed to add 10 points weekly.

At the third stage of losing weight, there is all the necessary information for analysis, experience has been gained, therefore, the person conducting it himself is able to solve the issue of daily, safe consumption of carbohydrates just for himself.

Facts:

During this period, most people stop at the consumption of 60 grams of carbohydrates.

Transition phase rules:

• The carbohydrate content in the daily diet can be increased by 10 g once a week.
• New products are introduced one at a time.
• If a new product leads to weight gain and appetite, the appearance of edema, you should stop using it.
• With an increase in weight after another increase in the content of carbohydrates in the diet, you need to return to the previous level of their use.
• There should be enough fat and protein in the diet.

At this stage, nuts and seeds, starchy vegetables (carrots, beets, green peas, potatoes), legumes (lentils, chickpeas, beans), fruits (apples, cherries, peaches, grapes, grapefruit, kiwi, watermelon, bananas) continue to be introduced into the diet. , plums, mangoes), cereals (brown rice, oatmeal, corn or barley porridge), and whole grain breads.

Fourth maintenance stage

Upon reaching the target weight, the person needs to go into the maintenance phase. Adherents of this eating style argue that this stage should be lifelong.

The essence of this stage is that you cannot exceed the critical level of carbohydrate intake to maintain weight, which was determined in the third stage of the diet.

Fourth , stage of return.

Most a dangerous period in relation to the risk of gaining lost weight. You should not deny yourself candy and cake if you want, but this is more the exception than the rule.

Adherents of this eating style argue that this stage should be lifelong. The essence of this stage boils down to the fact that you cannot exceed the critical level of carbohydrate intake to maintain weight, which was determined in the third stage.

How long can you observe the Kremlin?

If at the first stage failures occur, the state of health and mood deteriorates, and the weight does not go away, the experiment should not be continued.

As noted above, the fourth stage of the Kremlin's low-carb diet aimed at maintaining normal weight, lasts the rest of your life. If a person, after losing body weight, stops limiting the intake of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, then his weight will begin to increase rapidly.

Is it possible to increase, if necessary or desired, the amount of carbohydrates consumed?

The essence of the Kremlin diet comes down to limiting the amount of carbohydrates in the diet. Therefore, their increase is not recommended, as this can negatively affect the final result. In case of violation of the diet, it is necessary to go through the induction stage again (the first stage).

However, in no case should you neglect common sense... If a person, due to a sharp restriction of carbohydrate intake, shows signs of lowering blood glucose below normal, then he should stop this diet and consult a doctor. These signs include:

• Excessive sweating.
• Anxiety, nervousness, or irritability.
• Confusion of thoughts.
• Rapid heartbeat.
• Dizziness.
• Hunger and nausea.
• Drowsiness.
• Tingling or numbness in the lips or tongue.
• Headache.
• Weakness or tiredness.
• Coordination disorders.
• Nightmares.
• Convulsions.
• Loss of consciousness.

People with. Any diet - and especially the Kremlin diet - must be accompanied by an appropriate correction of diabetes treatment, which can only be done by a doctor.

In the scientific literature, there are also reports that long-term adherence to a low-carb diet can lead to the development of complications, which include heart, liver and kidney disease, cancer and osteoporosis.

Is it easy to keep score?

At first it seems that everything is very simple.

Example... The menu (approximate) for 40 conventional units consists of:

• Stewed eggplant (13 points - 200 grams).
• Salad (tomatoes and cucumbers, 5 points - 150 grams).
• Fresh apple (10 points).
• Glasses of kefir (8 points).

The lack of other products is compensated by a large amount of pork or beef.

Complexity:

Everywhere you have to go with a table and a calculator. At home - is it still possible, but in the workplace?

What do the supporters suggest?

Almost completely switch to meat and fish, while completely losing sight of the need to switch to a 60-point diet, and withstand a 40-point regime for a long time.

Dual effect:

Losing weight, but deteriorating health.

Is it possible to increase points if necessary, but then return to the previous regime?

In the process of going through all the stages, this is not only possible, but also necessary. Correction is carried out based on the state of the body, health. Actions that bring discomfort are not allowed!

Menu for the week

The main focus is protein-vegetable food, which can be consumed in unlimited quantities. Those who have a strong need for sweets are allowed to replace sugar with natural honey (no more than one tablespoon per day).

What must be present in the daily, weekly, monthly diet?

Essential vital vitamins and nutrients.

The diet at any time should consist of:

• From fish;
• meat;
• cheese;
• oils.

Complete table of ready meals

When preparing food, it is best to avoid potatoes and flour ...

Find out the amount of c.u. A ready-made dish is a little more complicated than a single product, since each housewife and cook probably use their own proven recipes in cooking. Therefore, in the Kremlin table, the average indicators of the amount of conventional units are given. for 100 grams for various dishes.

In order to accurately assess the dishes you are preparing, it is best to purchase a kitchen scale, by the way, a very useful thing in the kitchen, and knowing the composition of the dish, you can easily calculate the amount of conventional units. contained in it.

Apparently, an explanation should be given to the table on porridge:

• crumbly porridge - for a glass of pearl barley, millet, buckwheat, rice, you need 1.5-2.5 glasses of water or milk;
• viscous porridge - buckwheat -3, millet - 3.5, rice - 4 glasses;
• liquid porridge - millet, pearl barley - 4.5, rice - 5.5, oatmeal, semolina, oatmeal - 6 glasses of water or milk.

Weight Loss Formula. Why Carbohydrates?

This technique is based on strict control over the intake of carbohydrates into the body, therefore, an indexing system, points (points) or conventional units expressing the amount of carbohydrates in 100 grams have been invented for food products.

Slimming

The required amount of food – 40 points per day.

Keeping weight at a certain point - 60 points.

Counting carbohydrates

Take a look at a standard cookbook or find the information you need on diet food advertising sites.

Why did the authors choose carbohydrate aversion as their weight loss formula?

The idea is not new and taken from nutritionists - the founders of the set of basic rules for the correct attitude to healthy food choices. But there is a reservation - they recognized sucrose, fructose, lactose, glucose and galactose as dangerous for the body. We are talking about the most accessible form of energy for people.

Lack of approach

It takes a lot of physical activity to consume carbohydrates, which strive to form fats, just in case.

Have you ever wondered - why do all nutritionists prohibit "indulging" in confectionery, sweets, fast food and white flour baked goods, limit the intake of carbohydrates?

But "carbohydrates" are also found in vegetables and fruits - the so-called non-free sugars:

• pectin;
• starch;
• polysaccharides.

These are carbohydrates useful and necessary for a person.

They take care of mechanisms such as:

• Brain functions.
• Muscle activity.
• Uninterrupted bowel function.
• Qualitative assimilation nutrients.
• Prevention of premature wear and aging of the body.

Therefore, we deservedly call the above carbohydrates useful.

Traditional dietetics suggests using vegetables, fruits, grains, unpolished cereals, coarsely ground bread and beans for their overweight patients.

Many nutritionists directly and unequivocally accuse low-carb authors of ignorance of the subject and inability to predict the behavior of carbohydrates when they are limited.

Judge for yourself:

40-60 points is an inevitable and harsh exclusion from the menu of any sweets, pasta and cereals, almost all fruits.

What will be left?

Low-carb foods only:

• green onions;
• cabbage;
• radish, lettuce, spinach;
• cucumbers.

Then what is there?

Basically - all types of meat, fish, poultry, smoked meats and sausages.

These products are considered available by indexing - from 0 to 2 points.

Complications from Kremlevski

At its core, any diet that is aimed at reducing calories or restricting any foods is already fasting, only softer.

Fasting and special the course of nutrition used to eliminate excess adipose tissue is a mistake.

1. Attempts to influence lipid cells are the primary factor in the division of these cells.
2. A person is not able to independently regulate food consumption, since the daily accurate calculation of the calorie content of dishes is doomed to failure.
3. It is impossible to determine the full complement of vital nutrients.
4. There are a lot of inaccuracies in the description, because its vitamin and mineral composition cannot be analyzed. World science says that Kremlevska is similar to the famous Atkins diet and the methods of the Polish nutritionist Jan Kwasniewski.

Similarity – in the aspect of insufficient intake of essential and vital vitamins in the body, first of all. "Komsomolskaya Pravda" and other publications, willingly picking up the new trend, write about the need for additional intake of dietary supplements and vitamins during the diet.

The amount of vitamins for each person is a difficult task to determine, and taking large doses of them in tablet form is unhealthy. Dr. Atkins in his clinic prescribed gigantic (!) Doses of synthetic vitamins and dietary supplements to patients, many of which are not approved for use ("kava-kava", for example, a toxic product).

1. The diet can cause: cholelithiasis and urolithiasis, angina pectoris, atherosclerosis, nephritis, diabetes mellitus, gout (the latter is more in men).
2. The body will receive less: trace elements, beta-carotene, vit. E and C, vit. group B, etc.
3. The reaction of the body: decreased immunity, the appearance of many "failures", including frequent ARVI, constipation, acne, poor skin, nails and hair, changes in the walls of blood vessels, impaired reproductive performance.

Conclusion: the Kremlin diet can only be used (carefully) by 100% healthy person... The question is, are there many of them?

How not to hurt yourself by ending the Kremlin?

Sitting on a diet for months is difficult and even impossible. Active decline body weight with strict requirements, requires preparation, strength for the transition to a normal rhythm of nutrition.

The Kremlin diet is a complex mechanism. They need to be used carefully. Digestion of proteins increases the level of ketone bodies, causing intoxication, causing harm to health.

Poisoning is easy to identify by the taste and smell of acetone from the mouth. The characteristic symptomatology should serve as the basis for an immediate stop of "fasting". Do not get carried away with meat and fish, increasing the amount of cholesterol!

How not to get fat after the Kremlin diet?

People take on most things ill-considered. Today the Kremlin diet, tomorrow - something else. And it is necessary to lose weight according to the rules, very strict canons. "Sprinters" in this marathon will not win.

If you decide to lose weight quickly, you may succeed, but not for long. You will lose to the usual chemistry. And if you make weight loss the goal of life, then other layouts will appear.

Get ready for the path, then you don't need to hit all your attitudes. You will avoid the "pendulum" effect - weight fluctuations. At low cost, you will reach the maximum.

Limit your diet wisely! Even a minimal decrease in performance in the future will give its result.

The Golden Ratio for Smart Overweight Wrestlers

A low-calorie menu is insidious - most people get fat again rapidly after it.

You have begun a dangerous period - the difficult and tough Kremlin has ended. You are afraid that the achieved result will be lost.

Why?

The body selects "keys" for any methods of eating, redistributing energy costs, reducing metabolism and body temperature, which is reflected in the form of lethargy, drowsiness and unwillingness to move.

Immediately after the end of the "hunger strike", an active mode of fat accumulation begins. The body, like a good owner, strives to be ready for new "shocks".

What should I do?

Pull yourself together, do not worry and follow the following guidelines:

• Learn to count calories. It is difficult to observe the transition regime without seeing clear and dry numbers in front of you.
• Do not limit yourself to time - strategy always beats tactics.
• Forget fasting. It will give you nothing but steal energy from muscle mass.
• Control the transition period from diet to regular meals. You need a lot of patience and vigilance here.
• Deceive the body with the bulk of the food. Eat foods high in water and fiber.
• The main load is lunch. During the daytime, you need to consume most of the daily calories.
• During meals - only food intake. Conversations, TV shows, and reading distract and increase the tolerance for fatty foods. By talking, you will eat more than alone, in silence.
• Calorie-counted ready meals are a great way to control your diet.
• Reconsider your basic life priorities.
• Be vigilant. Do not relax, join in the transitional lightweight period of nutrition. Do not abruptly refuse fasting days, but reduce their number with loose observance. Habitual physical activity must be continued to burn extra fat.
• Strategy and Practice. Follow the turn-based strategy. Introduce no more than one or two new foods a day.

The body must get used to it - now there will be enough food. Try with vegetables, fruits, herbs, cheese, cottage cheese, low-fat milk. The calorie intake for two weeks is up to 2000 kcal.

• Prudence and moderation. Eat about 500 grams at a time. Use a 300-gram dessert plate. Eat often, but in small portions, chewing food thoroughly.
• Positive perception. Believe in yourself. Don't give up at the finish line. Do not reproach yourself when, unable to bear it, they added another piece to the plate. Better be vigilant next time.

The correct mindset for losing weight is the first victory and a stable foundation for transforming your body for specific tasks.

Think - why do you need a diet? What do you want from her? Will you be happier? What kind of nutrition do you need? If the desire to have slender body, as in a fashion magazine, is connected with life priorities, you will not achieve anything.

We give advice - learn to look at the world positively, love yourself as you are, try to give your body everything it needs, improve it rationally and from a medical, not a commercial point of view. The trinity of spirit, soul and body is the key to success in everything.

Leptin hormone and diet

We draw attention to the latest research by American scientists on recovery and weight gain after dieting. It is about a drop in the level of leptin in the blood with a decrease in weight.

The hormone is produced in adipose tissue and controls appetite, but no one knows how this process takes place. Leptin, injected artificially, helped the volunteers maintain their weight.

The development of a new drug for weight management through leptin is a matter of time. This is a chance for thousands of people who have no other opportunity to cope with such a task.

Kremlin diet. What does modern science say? Ronald Krauss (USA)

Kremlevka for weight loss or a diet for astronauts was created as a direction of a specific nature. It was a colossal and long-term work of nutritionists, psychologists and physiologists. But is the fruit of their efforts applicable to all part of humanity?

No diet is universal!

The main question - whether the Kremlin is harmful to health, has not been unequivocally resolved until now. Even hesitation blood pressure and the amount of triglycerides associated with nutrition is not fully understood. Ronald Krauss, a scientist from the United States, recently took up the solution to this problem.

He took three weight loss practices as a comparison:

• A common diet high in carbohydrates.
• Limiting fat.
• Limiting carbohydrates.

For the experiment, men were selected, who were divided into four subgroups (with different intake of carbohydrates and saturated fat). The team of scientists wanted to study changes in blood levels of lipids and triglycerides. Initially, the entire group underwent a single dietary course, and then was assigned to test separate methods with a gradual reduction of calories in three stages.

Results:

Men in two subgroups, who consumed 26% of carbohydrates, reduced body weight in any scenario, even with a high calorie intake.

They showed an improvement in indicators:

• triglycerides;
• cholesterol;
• apolipoprotein B;
• cholesterol unrelated to weight loss.

There was, but not to the same extent, weight loss in the high-carb group. Men who consumed 39% carbohydrates had all indicators in the middle band of values.

Scientists' opinions on low-carb diets

When Robert Atkins began promoting his low-carb diet, the President of the American College of Nutrition in 1973 said, “Of all strange diets that have been proposed over the past 50 years, this is the most dangerous for people. "

The chief physician of the state of Maryland (USA) in 1974, when asked what was wrong with the Atkins diet, answered: “What is wrong ... with an overdose of sleeping pills? You are putting your body in danger. Although you can reduce your weight with this diet, you do it at the risk of your health and even your life. "

The head of the Department of Nutrition at Harvard University said in the Senate in 1973: “The Atkins diet is nonsense. Any book that recommends unrestricted consumption of meat, butter, and eggs is, in my opinion, dangerous. Author. The one who proposes this is guilty of a crime. "

The Chairman of the Board of the American Medical Association on Food and Nutrition Policy told the same Senate meeting why the Atkins diet should be formally condemned:

"A thorough scientific evaluation of the Atkins diet was carried out by several scientists, during which it became clear that it posed a serious health hazard."

The warnings from doctors and scientists continue to sound to this day. Former US Surgeon General Everett Coop wrote in 2003: "The Atkins diet is unhealthy and can be dangerous."

The world's largest food and nutrition organization called the Atkins diet "terrible."

American Dietetic Association spokesman "The Atkins Diet and Similar Diets - Any diet that encourages bacon, cream, and butter while cutting apples in the name of weight loss is a dietitian nightmare."

The American Dietetic Association has been warning Americans about the dangers of the Atkins diet for 40 years.

The National Academy of Sciences, the most prestigious scientific body in the United States, agrees with the American Dietetic Association on the Atkins diet. The American Cancer Society, the Cleveland and Johns Hopkins Clinics, the American Kidney Foundation, the American College of Sports Medicine, and the National Institutes of Health have the same opinion.

In fact, there doesn't seem to be a single major government or non-profit medical, nutritional, or scientific organization in the world that supports low-carb diets.

In 2004, a scientific review concluded that the Atkins diet "goes against all current evidence-based dietary guidelines."

All these scientific findings can be boldly transferred to the Kremlin diet, which is one of the varieties of the Atkins diet.

In 2003, the UK Food Standards Agency issued a statement warning the public about the health risks of low-carb diets, including the Atkins Diet and the Kremlin Diet. This statement indicates that they are linked to heart disease, cancer and even obesity.

“Eliminating flour foods - or any other food group - can be detrimental to your health as you may not be getting a number of nutrients,” the statement said.

"This type of diet is also unrealistic as it cannot be followed for very long periods."

It also states: “Diets high in fat are also associated with obesity, which is increasing in the UK.

Obese people are more likely to develop diseases like certain types of cancer.

Low-carb diets are high in fat and may increase your risk of developing ischemic disease hearts ".

As such, it's safe to say that most scientists, doctors, and healthcare organizations believe that low-carb, unbalanced diets do no good for the body. besides weight loss... Moreover, they are accompanied by a significant risk to human health.

It is better to follow a balanced diet with lots of vegetables and fruits (, DASH-diet) and reduced calories in order to reduce weight, as well as increase physical activity. Perhaps the weight loss will not be so rapid, but there will be no harm to health.

conclusions:

• The low-carb diet resulted in improved cholesterol and triglyceride levels without losing weight.
• With weight loss in the low-carb groups, performance improved further (slightly), and the high-carb groups caught up partially, but not in all respects.
• The same trend is for LDL particle size.
• The "medium carbohydrate" group gave out averaged values.
• The calorie intake to maintain the required weight in the low-carb group was sufficient - the men continued to lose their weight.

The last point is very important in understanding the high effectiveness of the Kremlin diet. With its help, you can reduce fat mass without reducing calorie content in a special diet.

How to mitigate risks?

While sticking to the Kremlin weight loss diet, be prudent. Choose a middle ground, do not abuse any product. Keep a close eye on the indicators of your condition. Suspicious symptoms are a reason for an immediate appeal to a nutritionist.

At-risk groups:

• Women during gestation and breastfeeding.
• Minor children.
• People with problems in the functioning of the kidneys and urinary tract.
• Patients with hepatitis, diabetes, gastritis.
• People with any mental health problems.

Note. Prolonged reduction in carbohydrate levels is undesirable. The time limit on the diet is your defense.

What symptoms indicate the need to stop the diet?

Mental factors:

• absent-mindedness;
• irritability;
• drowsiness.

Physiological aspect:

• Disorders in the endocrine system.
• Lack of progress in weight loss.
• Pain in the region of the heart.
• Bad breath (acetone).

Stop dieting wisely! Introduce cereals, nuts, fruits into the diet. Get blood tested and consult your doctor.

What vitamins should be added to the diet?

The Kremlin diet, especially in the induction phase, is poor in vegetables and fruits, which are the main sources of vitamins and minerals. Therefore, if it is observed, people are advised to additionally take them in the form of dietary supplements.

But, approach the intake of vitamins with caution and consult a doctor for each separately. The role of the individual factor is important here.

Try adding low-carb fruits and vegetables to your diet:

Fruits:

• apricots,
• avacado,
• Strawberry,
• peaches,
• red grapefruit,
• watermelon,
• cantaloupe (cantaloupe),
• rhubarb,
• blueberry.

Vegetables:

• zucchini,
• cauliflower,
• leaf beet,
• mushrooms,
• celery,
• Cherry tomatoes.

Control the dietary process by weighing and observing symptoms. Any negative sign is a reason for the next consultation with a nutritionist and suspension of the diet.

The most commonly used multivitamins contain a complex of various vitamins and minerals, including:

• Vitamin A.
• Vitamin C.
• Vitamin D.
• Vitamin K.
• Vitamin B1.
• Vitamin B2.
• Vitamin B6.
• Vitamin B12.
• Biotin.
• Folic acid.
• Pantothenic acid.
• Biotin.
• Calcium.
• Phosphorus.
• Potassium.
• Magnesium.
• Zinc.
• Selenium.
• Manganese.
• Copper.
• Chromium.
• Inositol.
• Quercetin.

Vitamin complex:

• Complivit (tablet per day).
• Nycomed (do not use for renal pathologies).
• Iodine asset.
• Sea salt (only cook with it).
• Vitamins A, E.
• Aerovit.
• Multivitamins.
• Beauty Vitrum.

Also, people on the Kremlin diet are advised to take dietary supplements with essential fatty acids which are essential for healthy skin, hair, and nails, and are also beneficial for cardiovascular health. If constipation is present, dietary fiber supplements are prescribed.

Interestingly, Robert Atkins founded a company that produces various dietary supplements. He promotes their use when following the Atkins diet.

Note! A long course leads to deterioration appearance skin, since the body and the skin cannot normally exist on practically the same proteins. The result is a dull face, the appearance of wrinkles.

If weight loss is difficult to achieve, it is necessary to remove the restrictions and switch to at least 60 conventional units with the addition of a variety of salads, fresh vegetables, berries and fruits to the diet. Measures are required to return gastrointestinal tract the usual functions and saturation of the skin with vitamins.
