Wedges are knocked out with wedges, or how a fat diet promotes weight loss

Greetings, friends! Until recently, eating less fatty foods seemed quite logical. However, now the fat diet for weight loss is gaining momentum.

Imagine, it turns out that you can lose weight with such a nutrition system! Her fans say that it is completely safe, and most importantly, effective. This is such a paradox (at first glance).

I decided to thoroughly understand this technique. Is it true that fat burns fat? I invite you to join the investigation!

The essence of the diet

A fatty diet is a nutritional system consisting of animal fats and proteins. At the same time, the amount of carbohydrates is strictly limited. The diet is good because it perfectly suppresses hunger and reduces appetite. A person follows it with ease.

With this diet, fruits and vegetables are strictly prohibited, but meat and lard are allowed. Such nutrition is very effective in the fight against extra pounds, as the fat layer is quickly broken down. The body simply does not need to “stock up” on fats, because it will receive them every day.

Thanks to this, effective weight loss occurs; fats are simply broken down and removed from the body without remaining in it. At the same time, the person feels great: the substances supplied with food lift the mood and charge with energy.

Diet of Jan Kwasniewski

Nutritionist from Poland Jan Kwasniewski has been studying healthy eating and the principles of losing weight for more than thirty years.
He developed a revolutionary method for getting rid of extra pounds.

In his opinion, there is no need to give up fats during a diet; you should create a diet based on them.

When there is a lack of fat, the body begins to store it, which leads to weight gain. If fats enter the body regularly, the body does not experience a deficiency in them and the process of deposition does not occur. They are simply eliminated from the body. At the same time, metabolism accelerates.

Basic principles

• It is necessary to exclude bread, cereals, vegetables and fruits from the diet.
• The menu includes meat, lard, eggs. It is allowed to consume cream, fats, and caviar.
• You need to consume 1.5 liters of clean water per day. It is prohibited to consume alcoholic and sweet carbonated drinks.
• It is necessary to consume food in small portions without overeating. You can't go hungry either. You need to eat 4-5 times a day.
• Eating food later than 7 pm is prohibited.
• The nutritionist recommends eating in a calm environment. You cannot do this while watching TV or playing on the computer. A person should concentrate as much as possible only on food, chewing food thoroughly.
• It is recommended to exercise while dieting. This will make it even more effective. Two hours after eating, physical activity is allowed.
• To lose weight quickly. you need to reduce your carbohydrate intake. To do this, you should give up sugar and sweets.
• The duration of such nutrition is unlimited, the main thing is to follow the principles of the diet.

Types of fats, which are healthy and which are not?

Fats in a certain amount are important for humans, because the normal functioning of the body is impossible without them. They are involved in thermoregulation, metabolic processes, the absorption of some important vitamins, maintaining immunity, and the production of hormones. Without them, joint mobility is reduced, since fats are an important component of the lubrication necessary for their normal gliding. But not all fats are healthy, so some foods should be avoided.

There are 4 types of fats in total:

1. Monounsaturated . They help reduce cholesterol levels and also prevent it from sticking and settling on the vascular walls. Eating foods containing such fats has a positive effect on the condition of the heart and blood vessels, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
2. Polyunsaturated . Necessary for the prevention of heart disease, improve recovery processes and accelerate muscle growth.
3. Saturated . They increase cholesterol levels and promote the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. However, a complete refusal to use them can negatively affect health, for example, it leads to disruption of testosterone synthesis in men.
4. Trans fats. They are created by processing vegetable fats. They significantly increase cholesterol levels, can lead to the development of diabetes, and prevent the formation of substances that fight carcinogens.

The first two types are classified as healthy fats for weight loss; the latter two should be used with caution.

Peculiarities

The main feature of a hypocaloric (low-fat) diet is that it requires reducing the number of calories consumed per day by almost 50%. The diet involves eating low in carbohydrates and fats. As a rule, it is prescribed by a doctor to prevent cardiovascular diseases associated with high amounts of cholesterol in the blood.

Reviews and results of people who have tried this method of losing weight

The protein-fat diet (reviews and results will be described in this section) is very popular, as many people “buy” into tasty foods. However, reviews about this method are quite contradictory. Some patients simply could not comply with it because they felt extremely unwell. Others, on the contrary, felt very good.

However, you should not hope that you will be able to lose a large number of kilograms in a couple of months. In fact, everything is far from true. The weight will come off very slowly. You may have to adhere to these nutritional principles for a couple of years. But if you feel good, you will get excellent results.

Do not under any circumstances use this diet during pregnancy or breastfeeding. In this case, you should be guided only by the principles of a balanced diet.
