Crab stick diet

Today, the fashion for a slim, fit and healthy body continues to gain momentum. Nutritionists are looking for a “magic” recipe for losing weight, and women are looking for an effective diet. There are many diets, but, as it turns out, not all of them give the long-awaited result - everything is very individual. Proponents of a healthy diet are looking for options for combining healthy foods in which the body is not exhausted by hunger, but also does not gain excess weight. One of them is now being used effectively in Japan.

What's the trick?

The principle of this diet has long been known and has been successfully used among athletes - active replenishment of protein in the body. This eliminates animal fats and minimizes foods containing carbohydrates. Protein is the material from which the entire human body is created: its muscles and skin, hair and nails, internal organs and blood vessels. Therefore, to keep your muscles strong, your skin elastic and toned, your hair shiny, and your nails strong, eat fish, surimi and seafood. Crab sticks (surimi) are very convenient for a protein diet, as they contain a minimum of fat and are immediately ready to eat.

Where do “legs grow” from?

Crab sticks are an invention of Japanese chefs. The “age” of this dish is quite impressive - 9 centuries. Only in Japan the base for crab sticks is called surimi, and the dish that is made from surimi is called kamaboko. Surimi is made exclusively from the meat of cod (lean) fish: hake, pollock, blue whiting, etc. The product received the name “crab sticks” due to the addition of the aroma of crab meat - this is the only kamaboko recipe that is known in our country. But in Japan, more than 1000 different dishes are made from surimi, adding various seasonings, cheese, and eggs. This is very convenient, because surimi - washed minced fish - has an absolutely neutral taste and aroma.

What's the benefit?

According to nutritionists, fish protein is a type that is easily and completely absorbed by the body. And if it is sea fish, then there are also useful vitamins and microelements. After a fish meal, there is no feeling of heaviness in the stomach or a feeling of drowsiness, since the body needs to expend a small amount of energy to digest fish dishes. All this directly applies to surimi, which is minced fish, that is, fish protein.

What about quality?

Now we’re learning how to choose quality crab sticks. First of all, trust well-known brands that have maintained a positive reputation for many years, and secondly, carefully read the product composition on the label. For example, one of the most famous manufacturing companies is Viciunai (TM VICI) - its experience spans more than 20 years! VICI crab sticks do not contain preservatives, stabilizers or flavor enhancers, and the product recipe was developed taking into account Japanese culinary traditions.
