Diet

Any diet for a weight loss is not only a physiological, but also a psychological stress. The more extravagant a diet is, the more different it is from the usual diet, and the greater the stress is. Irritability, fatigue, constant preoccupation with food, exhausting power of will – this combination is a long-trodden path to depression. n general, a diet assigned without considering the health of a person might be another attempt to lose weight for someone, while for others it may cause exacerbation, or serious illness. What is more, a very sharp weight loss is even a guarantee of its quick re collection, not counting those “little things” such as the possibility of kidneys diseases and flabby saggy skin (collagen production cannot keep up with the pace of weight loss, and return to original dimensions cannot guarantee the return to the original condition of skin).

Therefore, the best results on stability make a weight loss with a rate of 1-2 kg per week, but then the process lasts sometimes for months, and people start to talk not about the diet, and about the way of nutrition. Weight loss occurs due to a decrease of caloric intake (restrictions on simple carbohydrates (mono-and disaccharides) and fats), and also due to the relative separateness and fractional power.

Getting rid of excess body fat, people improve health and lengthen their life.

The next steps should be followed for 3-5 weeks. That is as long as necessary for a psychological adjustment and the concrete results (and they will occur within the 1st week). After achieving a healthy weight (height (cm) minus 100-110 units) a person can afford a certain relief. It is desirable to start with increasing the proportion of fruit in the morning. Undoubtedly, nobody claims the exclusivity and originality of the proposed style of nutrition. Still, these are eight principles of a reasonable diet to normalize weight and stay healthy with normal mind.
