The level of health depends on our resources. Diets limit us, cause deficiencies of vitamins and microelements, a person becomes less energetic and resourceful. He loses his enthusiasm, undermines his health and becomes apathetic towards everything. As a result, it breaks down and gains weight again. Then he starts another Diet, and the vicious circle continues.

Let’s name the famous diets and note what is wrong with them and why they do not work.

protein diet

Protein is extremely important for hair and nail growth, muscle formation, and the health of internal organs.

The essence of the protein diet is to consume a large amount of protein and exclude carbohydrates from the diet. Protein has a “negative calorie value” (as it is sometimes called by those who follow diets). The Body spends a lot of energy digesting protein, and thus the mechanism of burning subcutaneous fat can be triggered. Everything would be fine if not for the downside of this diet:

Intoxication. The body is poisoned by the end products of metabolism.

Bad breath occurs due to the fact that the body does not have time to digest the protein, so it simply rots in the intestines, stomach problems begin (heartburn, bloating, diarrhea, heaviness).

Fat deficiency. We need them too. Firstly, it is beautiful skin, hair, nails, and secondly, the good work of sex hormones.

Depression. Have you noticed that people who follow strict diets suddenly become aggressive? This is due to a lack of the hormone of joy – serotonin, which is built from carbohydrates. And in the protein diet, they are practically absent.

A large amount of protein increases the load on the kidneys and liver. Such a diet can significantly worsen our well-being.

Kefir diet

Kefir is a wonderful product for preventing constipation, supporting microflora, plus, due to its low calorie content, our weight is rapidly decreasing. However, dairy products have a high insulin index (II), a measure of how much insulin is secreted in the body in response to eating food. The higher the AI of the product, the more insulin the body releases. And the faster the person will feel hungry. AI of kefir – 120. At the norm – no higher than 80.

When we drink kefir, insulin rises, and the fat burning process stops. That’s why the kefir diet does not work the way you would like it to. Also, kefir in large quantities can cause an allergic reaction and even provoke thrush in women.

fruit diet

She doesn’t work either. Fruit is healthy when in moderation. A good metabolism, vitamins, energy and body detox – all this is promised by the developers and adherents of such a diet. But fruits contain fructose. It increases your appetite and you will be constantly hungry.

A large amount of fructose leads to an increased level of fat (triglycerides) and its deposition in visceral adipose tissue. Instead of a slim body, we get visceral obesity, which is very dangerous for our health. Plus dysbiosis and thrush. In addition, due to the acid of fruits, caries occurs.

Keto diet

The most popular of diets. Fat is removed by fats. The diet excludes carbohydrates, and we eat fat up to 80% of our daily diet.

The body receives energy from fats and carbohydrates, and if you remove carbohydrates, the body will take energy only from the oxidation of fats. The weight will come off. You definitely won’t have to starve with such a diet, since fat saturates the body well. What is wrong?

When fats are oxidized, many ketone bodies are formed, so the smell of acetone can be felt. Acetone poisons the body.

Due to the lack of fiber and dietary fiber, the work of the gastrointestinal tract is disrupted (a violation of the stool occurs).

Ketoflu (headaches, drowsiness, irritability). The cause of this flu is dehydration caused by increased urination.

There are contraindications to the keto diet, for example, diabetes.

Hair loss, menstrual irregularities are also a side effect of such a diet.

Diet with calorie restriction

Eat less and lose weight. The diet of such a diet consists of 600 – 1200 kcal. Yes, you can lose weight, but you can lose your health as a “bonus”. Hair loss, brittle nails, rapid weight gain during a breakdown – these are just “flowers”. People who restrict themselves in this way end up thinking only about food and even after the end of such a diet, they fixate on it. The person becomes irritable, libido decreases. I want only one thing – to eat.

All these diets have a lot in common:

Mineral and vitamin deficiencies.

Violation of the microflora.

Subsequent weight gain.

Bad mood.

Decreased health and energy levels.

Life hacks on how to lose weight without dieting

Be sure to diversify your diet, learn how to eat well, so that the diet is not needed.

Choose the right environment. Tracey Mann’s Nutrition Lab Secrets explains how friends affect our diet. During the experiment, the subject was placed in an environment of people who follow proper nutrition. It turned out that the diet of the subject became the same as that of his environment.

Make available to you only the right products. For example, put sweets away, and put fruits and vegetables on the table.

Eat lots of vegetables for dinner. They are low in calories.

Eat fruits and sweet foods in the morning.

Instead of fast food, take the right snacks with you. For example, a pear or whole grain fish and bread sandwich will be better than glazed cheese.

Make your cooking easier by buying frozen chopped vegetables.

Create barriers to sweets, buns. For example, take a different path, where there are fewer inviting smells.

Replace large plates with smaller ones. This way you will eat less.

Do not go to the store on an empty stomach, so as not to break into buying a quick snack.

Drink a glass of clean water half an hour before meals, so you will eat less.

Do not have lunch or dinner in front of the phone and TV. This threatens to overeat.

Enjoy your food. The longer you chew and taste, the better the food will digest.
