And it is not surprising: after all, excluding flour and sugar from the diet and minimizing the consumption of sweet fruits and vegetables (beets, corn), we stimulate the body to consume fats, synthesizing the necessary glucose from them. Protein diets are dangerous for the body also because in the absence of a sufficient amount of carbohydrates, the body begins to receive glucose, not only from fat, but also from muscles. Opponents of such diets indicate an excessive load on the kidneys and liver, which have to work in emergency mode to remove from the blood the products of the decomposition of fatty acids: ketone bodies. In order not to deprive yourself of energy, but also not to recover, doctors recommend following the following diet.

Remember the main rule: the more the product contains sugar and / or refined flour and the less fiber, the more harmful it is for our body. Simple carbohydrates are absorbed instantly, even faster than starch, which is first broken down by enzymes.
