Features of a chemical diet
The author of this method of nutrition is Professor Osama Hamdiy. Working in a modern large clinic for diabetics, he made every effort to create a diet that saves patients from excess weight without any negative consequences for the body. Diabetics often gain extra pounds due to impaired normal metabolism. And to reduce body weight in diabetes is especially difficult, since most of these programs are simply prohibited for such people. But subject to the rules of the proposed nutrition, the sugar concentration decreases smoothly, while there are no so-called bursts characteristic of endocrine disease during the release of glucose.
To reduce the excessive burden on the heart and digestive organs, the doctor developed a diet based on chemical reactions that cause unnecessary fats to be converted into useful energy.
Weight loss is due to such features:
- focus on protein foods that create a long-lasting feeling of satiety and eliminate the excruciating hunger sensation "under the pit";
- low carbohydrate content, which gives an impetus to the expenditure of body fat;
- specially selected composition of products.
But in order to achieve a noticeable result, it is necessary to strictly follow all the regulations.
Basic nutrition
The main factor is the compatibility of products that trigger the necessary chemical processes in the body. Therefore, you should not change the specific names indicated in the diet to their analogues - such a technique will reduce the effectiveness of the technique.
Rules:
- The course of losing weight is better to start on Monday, since the method itself has a weekly cycle. Skipping meals or adding additional products to the menu is not allowed.
- No need to get up from the table hungry - you can eat until almost full, the main thing is not to overeat.
- Every morning after a bowel movement, it is advisable to write down your weight in a notebook to control the effectiveness of the diet.
- Drink at least 1,500 ml of water daily. It should be consumed only between meals.
- The best way to cook is steamed, grilled, in the oven, in water, without adding oil.
- The amount of salt should be reduced to a minimum. It is better to salt food just before serving, and not during cooking.
- Every day arrange feasible physical activity, at least walk more in the fresh air.

A low-carb diet is not so difficult to follow, as the diet is quite enough healthy and nutritious foods.
