If you follow the Kremlin diet, you can lose weight in 8 days by 5-6 kg, in a month and a half you can lose 8-15 kg. The more weight you have, the faster it goes away.

Surrounded by a halo of mystery, the “American astronaut diet”, also known under the pseudonym “Kremlin diet”, has become very popular among diet lovers today. The secret Kremlin diet is called due to the fact that for some time the recipe of the diet itself was not disclosed, and there were only rumors among the people about its miraculous results.

This diet originally introduced nutritional efficiency conditions used in the development of diets for US military and astronauts. The diet of American astronauts owes its Kremlin “label” to representatives of the Moscow city administration and other equally important government officials, including Yuri Luzhkov, his press secretary Sergei Tsoi. Recently, this diet has occupied a leading position in Russia.

The essence of the Kremlin diet

The Kremlin diet works like this: when the intake of carbohydrates into the body is sharply limited (and the diet prohibits foods high in carbohydrates), it begins to consume internal energy reserves that are in body fat. As a result, even eating an unlimited amount of meat does not slow down the process of losing weight.

Weight loss – the first one to two weeks up to 20 grams of carbohydrates per day, then you can expand the diet to 40.

Should be avoided: sweet, flour, potato dishes, bread, rice and of course sugar. In the first 2 weeks, refrain from vegetables, fruits, juices (except tomato).
The most important rule is not to sweeten anything, even one piece of sugar will be equal to your daily diet.

You can eat meat, fish, cheese, eggs, low-carb vegetables, and other “low-cost” foods. The cost of the product is measured in points, points, arbitrary units, carbohydrates, as you prefer. Because, 1 point = 1 point = 1 c.u. = 1 gram of carbohydrates per 100 grams of product.

To view the number of points (carbohydrates) in each of the products, use the recipe analyzer or the “Kremlin Diet Points Table”.

Sausage, sausages, sausages should be eaten with caution. Because in the manufacture of sausages (sausage, frankfurters, sausages, etc.), many meat processing plants are forced to use soy additives or soy texturate (it is 4 times cheaper). Meat in sausages – from 10% to 30%, and even then, very often, from chicken offal, the rest is food additives, of absolutely chemical origin (earlier, a little starch was added to it, which helped to absorb more moisture), which have a high water-holding capacity and of course, the above is soy. Therefore, it is better to refuse sausages, sausages, sausages with an unknown composition with this diet.

You can eat as much as you like, but you need to know when to stop! Although it is acceptable on points, you should not absorb 3-4 kg of meat per day, eating a kilogram of cheese,
The effectiveness of the Kremlin diet will increase markedly if you not only count points (carbohydrates), but also limit yourself in calories. And also do not eat 3-4 hours before bedtime.
