Meat diet menu and forbidden foods The basic product of the meat diet for weight loss, as the name suggests, is meat. And it doesn’t matter at all whether it is fatty or dietary meat, it can generally be replaced with fish. Some sources claim that sausages, meatballs and sausages are also acceptable under this type of food restriction. However, the significant content of starch in these semi-finished products, as well as other meat substitutes, can actually nullify all efforts. In general, the meat diet menu is very, very diverse, unlike most other diets, and those who wish can adapt it at their discretion. The daily volume of food is recommended to be divided into five meals, eating 50-100 grams of meat in one. You will need twice as much garnish, because you can and should eat a significant amount of fresh vegetables seasoned with olive oil, as well as clean drinking water – this will help to avoid difficulty in defecation. Indeed, judging by the reviews of the meat diet, the likelihood of constipation is almost its only disadvantage, which, however, is easy to avoid. Eggs are allowed, both white and yolk. The choice of cooking method is also not limited, you can chop and fry, but it is better to bake or put together with vegetables in a double boiler. Do not fall into the meat diet menu, and, moreover, the following products are strictly prohibited: Flour: bakery products, cookies, cakes; Dairy: yogurts, cheeses, curds; Starchy vegetables: potatoes, corn; Cereals, cereals, muesli; Sugar in any form, including fructose. Note that about dairy products and fruits there is no consensus. Some nutritionists allow low-fat cottage cheese and yogurt to be included in the meat diet menu as meat substitutes for the last meal. There is also a fruit-meat version of the protein diet, however, it has its own limitations. Mechanism of Action and Restrictions Meat takes quite a long time to be absorbed by the body, only the stomach performs its part of the digestive process for four hours. Reviews of the meat diet claim that thanks to this, the feeling of hunger that accompanies almost all possible diets will not appear. True, lovers of sandwiches with cheese and chocolates will still have a hard time, in the truest sense of the word. Considering that our good mood is kept on “fast” carbohydrates and sugars, sitting on a meat diet, we will have to look for another source of pleasure – go to the spa or buy a new dress. A size smaller, of course – isn’t that a reason to rejoice? But you can’t live forever on one protein without bread and cereals, this is fraught with serious problems with the gastrointestinal tract, so the terms of the meat diet are short and vary from seven to ten days. There is no way out, as such, from the meat diet, it’s just worth gradually returning rye fritters, cereals, rice to the diet, avoiding pies and sweets for as long as possible to consolidate the result. Fruit can replace one of the snacks completely, providing an interval of at least an hour and a half after the previous meal and half an hour before the next one. It is also worth keeping the habit of drinking a significant amount of water at the end of the seven-day diet marathon, replacing all sugary drinks with it. Regarding the liquid, there is another important recommendation that is valid both for the time of the meat diet and after: you should not “fill in” dense protein dishes with water or tea, take a break of thirty to forty minutes, and preferably an hour. Otherwise, the gastric juice will have an insufficient concentration for the effective digestion of complex amino acids in the composition of meat, which will lead to poor digestion, the release of toxins into the small intestine, heartburn and other unpleasant phenomena.
