The main principle of the protein diet, grounded in scientific research, is the following: the body, receiving protein-rich food in exchange for carbohydrates, begins to work actively and burn excess fat. It is believed that the human body digests the calories of protein and recycles it into pure energy. Calories of carbohydrate food go to "stock" fatty deposits, which bring people a lot of inconvenience. Foods rich in protein break down longer, and the feeling of satiety does not leave a person for a long time.
Protein diet. On the protein diet expressed opposing opinions. Some people think that the diet is very effective. It helps to clean up a kilo a day. So, for 10 days you can "burn" about 10 kilograms. At the same time the skin remains elastic, muscles do not weaken. Others consider this type of diet to be meaningless and harmful to the body. They believe that with the protein diet, which excludes the ingestion of carbohydrate food and fiber into the body, huge damage is inflicted to the intestines, liver, and human kidneys, because changes in metabolic processes occur, and the water-salt balance of the organism is violated, which causes intestinal peristalsis. But now a lot of special food supplements have been developed that help to avoid such troubles. They, according to dieticians, are able to reduce the burden on the kidneys, the liver, to prevent the onset of intoxication of the human body as a whole and the appearance of such an unpleasant ailment as constipation.
In short, with the protein diet, as with another restrictive system, everything is individual, and of course depends on the subjectivity of each individual organism.
