As a method of treatment, the diet has been used since ancient times, but in the past its principles were based on experience. With the discovery of the law of metabolism in the preparation of diets, the achievements of various sciences - chemistry, physiology - were taken into account. In modern dietology, the principle of the physiological needs of the organism in food substances is taken into account. This principle is based on the idea of a balanced diet. If the metabolic processes in the body are disturbed by the disease, the diet should become a regulating factor.
Regulation of metabolic processes in a diseased organism by means of a diet can be achieved by selecting food products, special technological methods for processing food.
Diets can have names, for example: protein, fatty, potassium, etc. Their purpose is caused by certain violations of metabolic processes, in which the body requires the introduction of chemicals in a certain proportion. There are names of diets by the names of their authors.
In addition to diets, appointed for individual indications. apply and unloading days, which are a form of diets and are assigned for a short time, usually for 1-2 days. Unloading days are used to create a negative energy balance in the body in order to restore weight. The principle on which such diets are built is different. Such diets are made taking into account the composition of food and are designated respectively as protein, potassium and other fasting days. Protein unloading days include fish, meat, cottage cheese, potassium - products rich in potassium (dried apricots, apricots, vegetables and fruits, milk).
Most common are unloading days, called from the introduced product: meat, fish curd, sour cream, vegetable, fruit, etc. Unloading days, however, like any other diet, are used to stimulate or, conversely, to have a sparing effect on the functions of individual organs and systems of the human body, to influence the metabolic processes in different ways.
Now buckwheat diet , whose meaning consists in the use of buckwheat groats cooked for several hours without the use of salt and any seasonings, has won great popularity. It is allowed to eat low-fat kefir together with the buckwheat prepared in this way.
Such a diet is recommended for the purpose of getting rid of excess weight. This diet is quite tough, since it is associated with fairly strict dietary restrictions for a long time - 7-10 days. Sometimes it is recommended to use up to 14 days.
Literary sources and Internet publications speak of its sufficient effectiveness in order to lose weight irrevocably and in a short time. Attention deserves and ease of application of this method, but why not everyone lose weight on the buckwheat diet.
Buckwheat does not apply to scarce and expensive food. The meaning of the buckwheat diet is that in the course of the day buckwheat can be eaten as much as it wants. Carbohydrates contained in cooked buckwheat are slowly assimilated and do not contribute to the accumulation of fat in the body, but, on the contrary, contribute to the burning of stored.
Buckwheat gives a feeling of satiety. Therefore, those who lose weight on this diet will not feel a feeling of constant hunger. In most of the buckwheat diet is tolerated without problems and easily.
Like all diets that are used to lose weight, there are pluses and minuses. By the positive moments can be attributed to the low calorie content of buckwheat, its slow digestibility due to the fact that its chemical composition is a complex polysaccharide, for processing which the body needs to spend quite a long time, which gives enough to feel satiety for a long time. Buckwheat is also rich in vitamins, such as: P (rutin), PP (nicotinic acid), B vitamins, and microelements (potassium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, iodine). Included in the composition of buckwheat vitamins contribute to strengthening capillaries, purifying the liver, ridding the body of toxins. Due to the exception of the buckwheat diet, the body gets rid of excess water. Fiber, contained in buckwheat, helps to rid the body of toxins.
From the negative moments of the buckwheat diet, it should be noted that, despite not all the wealth of useful substances, they are still not enough for the normal functioning of the human body as a whole. Absence of simple sugars in the body can negatively affect the functioning of organs and systems, in particular, on the work of the brain. The lack of salt in the diet can lead to a decrease in blood pressure, which is risky for hypotension.
Buckwheat diet is contraindicated in people with diseases of the stomach and duodenum, diabetes. Categorically, it is contraindicated in pregnancy and lactation.
The buckwheat diet contributes not so much to getting rid of excess kilograms, as it helps to normalize the weight gained as a result of irrational eating, overeating on vacation, long holidays, stress. However, you need to know why not everyone will lose weight on the buckwheat diet.
Buckwheat diet is practically ineffective at a normal ratio of weight and height.
Weight loss with buckwheat diet is achieved due to a meager diet and its low caloric content. Long-term use of buckwheat diets is bordered by a hunger strike. And when you exit from a state like stress, the body will again absorb the products to maintain the energy balance with the subsequent weight gain.
Such a diet is ineffective in the case of impaired metabolism.
It can be concluded that a really buckwheat diet, used as fasting days, contributes to the normalization of metabolic processes and weight loss as a result of poor nutrition, associated with a violation of the balance between food components, such as fats, proteins and carbohydrates.
