RED FISH DIET: PRINCIPLES AND MENUS FOR THE WEEK

Send

According to the assurances of historians of everyday life, they lost weight on dishes with fish back in Ancient Rome. Today, of course, nutrition programs with the gifts of the water world have received scientific justification. And they gained tremendous popularity - because this allows not only to reduce weight by 3-5 kg per week, but also to improve health, as well as replace more than one trip to a beauty salon with healthy food.

Red fish is a collective name for many species, for the most part recognized as delicacies for their high taste and decent value.

And it’s worth clarifying that as far back as fifty years ago, sturgeon fish were often included in this group, including sterlet, stellate sturgeon, beluga - just valuable fish, but with light meat.

Today, many have “red fish” associated with salmon - pink salmon, salmon, trout ... And in the diet presented below, salmon is primarily considered (but if something sturgeon sometimes appears on the table, this will not hurt the case).

The energy value of the daily diet should not exceed 1500 kcal.

The emphasis is on protein food, primarily, naturally - fish. Its amino acid composition allows you to avoid the depletion of muscle mass, which will be needed even for the formation of a new dream figure. Slow carbohydrates go after proteins, and fats go to the very minimum and are only useful. Scientists have proven - it is a myth that they are harmful.

Without them, many minerals and vitamins are not absorbed in the body, including A, D and E.

The effectiveness of the diet is based on a harmonious combination of low calorie diet with an overall improvement in metabolism and is complemented by a "seasoning" in the form of physical (sports) activity available to humans.

The basic rules are simple and reminiscent of other diets:

do not eat after 21:00;
do not impose more servings on one meal than can fit in the palms of your hands;
in cooking, give preference to stewing, baking and steaming, avoiding frying;
consume at least 50% of the volume of plant foods fresh.

In the diet on red fish, there are no shocking changes in metabolism, but on the other hand, the result remains for a long time. True, she still has some contraindications:

acute and chronic kidney disease;
pregnancy and lactation;
gout.

But it is also dishonest to keep silent about the benefits that supplement the diet in addition to the direct effect, that is, weight loss. These include:

strengthening immunity;
improving the condition of the skin, hair and nails;
increased physical stamina;
improving mood and intellectual abilities.

It is also worth considering the following:

the effectiveness of the diet directly depends on the quality of the fish, so it is better to get it chilled rather than frozen;
do not be bold and eat raw fish - it’s better to lose a little of its benefits than to risk contracting parasites.

First of all, of course, one should designate the assortment of that same red fish with an orientation on the salmon family. Suitable for the menu - salmon, chum salmon, pink salmon, sockeye salmon, chinook salmon, coho salmon, taimen, trout, lenok, nelma, ishkhan, Norwegian salmon and cherry ... and other species.

pumpkin, zucchini, sweet pepper;
apples, cherries, plums, pineapple, citrus fruits, blackberries, raspberries, kiwi.

Also in limited quantities are allowed:

cheeses with fat content up to 40%, 10% sour cream;
honey.

Strongly forbidden:

You can use spices and seasonings, moreover, fresh herbs are preferable, salt is also gradually allowed.

The recommended rate of fluid per day is calculated according to the formula 30 ml per 1 kg of body weight. Mineral water without gas, green or herbal tea. They are not counted in the total mass, but little by little they allow black coffee and 1% kefir.

In this diet, snacks are not forbidden - but only if you really worried about hunger. For each day, a snack can be one or two types of fruit and vegetables. If the weight loss program is accompanied by fitness training, then you can use after a particularly intense, naturally occurring “carbohydrate window” - a short period when not a fat, but a portion of carbohydrates is converted into energy - for example, banana, dark chocolate, toast with ham from turkeys.

The optimal period for this diet is 2 weeks (the second menu repeats the first menu). But with dissatisfaction with the result, you can extend to three, replacing dinner with just a snack.
