Protein Diet

Protein Diet - this is perhaps the most effective diet, especially if combined with exercise

Protein diet is to eat food, rich in proteins

Food rich in protein:

•     Fillet of beef, chicken, duck, whitefish and tuna.
•     Egg whites
•     Nonfat yogurt (carbohydrates but there are more than protein)
•     Cottage cheese and cheese
•     Skimmed tofu

Generally there is not a great variety of foods rich in protein and low in fat and carbohydrates. Most foods in their natural form have the three major nutrients.

Basic principle of the protein diet is that you restrict food intake, which is easily converted into fat,

eat mainly high protein food to keep your muscles 

and combine diet with exercise to maintain muscle mass.

Many articles discuss the importance of removing only subcutaneous fat rather than subcutaneous fat and muscles. The principle is simple: when there is energy shortages, the body begins to break down fat and muscle in the body to provide energy.To make the body "thinks" that the muscles should not be used to generate the energy.  If you do exercise your body will "think" that the muscles are necessary to sustain life and will only degrade fats.Protein diet strongly supports this principle, because the protein is food for the muscles, it can be stored as body fat only if taken more than necessary.It is customary for men to protein dose is 3 g (3.2 g) per kilogram body weight, ie 80 kg male can adopt 3 * 80 = 240 grams of protein per day.Protein dose for women is less than 3 g, about 2.5 grams per kilogram of body weight, ie 60 kg woman can take 2.5 * 60 = 150 g of protein per day.

What else can you eat while on the protein diet

Fresh salad and fresh vegetables. At least there are many salads any time of year - tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, cabbage - can be eaten in unlimited quantities. Especially tomatoes contain Lycopene, which is believed to potentiate the effect of protein diet (in fact quite tomatoes to eat, to feel the benefits of lycopene, though tomatoes are not a dietary supplement, where the substances are concentrated content ).

What NOT to eat when you are on a protein diet:

• Sweet things are forbidden - even fruit (although if you are eating very sweet fruits it is better than other sweet thing). No cakes, cookies, pastries, cakes - if something has a sweet taste - do not eat.
• Pasties - NO - this includes bread, pasta, spaghetti
• Forbidden food processing is fried and breaded in particular.
• How to prepare protein diet allowed in food
• Meat and fish - grilled, roasted or cooked without fat
• Salads are not flavor of oil! It is permitted only oil to be measured with a spoon rather than pouring directly onto the salad. On day 3-4 tablespoons olive oil are allowed, which is 1 tablespoon of salad.
• Egg whites - cooked or baked, with only salt and spices. For more delicious can be added to 50 g cottage cheese to them.
• Tofu is a very tasty soup. Cut in small pieces, add chopped leeks, boil a small (10-15 minutes), thicken with 1-2 egg whites, as whites pour a trickle into boiling soup, so to make the threads. Do not put much water in the soup, let it be little thick.
• Curd can be salted and eaten with a salad of tomatoes or substitute cheese salad Shoppe.
• Schedule meals when protein diet
• It is better to eat 7-8 times per day, which is unrealistic for people who go to work. So I will explain the principle and who can observe anything.

The idea is to never stay hungry, never to be sated. So eat every 2 hours.
