Diet of Kim Protasov

The length of Kim Protasov's diet is five weeks. The point of the diet: eat as many vegetables and five percent dairy products as possible. You can drink tea and coffee (without sugar!) in any quantity, and you must drink two liters of water a day. In addition, you can also eat three green apples.

1 week diet
All week you eat only raw vegetables, as well as cheeses and yoghurts with a five percent fat content. You are allowed to eat one boiled egg per day. Any number of vegetables, at any time!

2 week diet
You should spend the second week similar to the first. From the second week you lose the desire to eat anything other than vegetables, cheese and apples. Many even refuse boiled eggs. By the end of the second week, you will feel extraordinary lightness throughout your body.

3 week diet
At the beginning of the third week, you must add a piece of fried meat, poultry or fish (300 grams) to vegetables and cheeses. Slightly reduce your intake of cheeses and yogurt. You eat vegetables, cheeses, meat, eggs and apples for another 3 weeks, at the end of which you will simply begin to melt before your eyes. The last two weeks have been the most intense weight loss.

Prepare yourself mentally for the fact that at the end of the diet you will not be able to immediately pounce on all sorts of foods. You will have (!) to make a lot of effort to force yourself to eat bread and butter, fried potatoes or dumplings.

We advise everyone (even those who are not overweight) to cleanse their body through such an easy diet once a year.

Pros of Kim Protasov's diet:

1. Protasov’s diet is amazingly good because it does not limit the amount of food, which is very good from a psychological point of view. This diet is easier to maintain than many others.
2. Protasov's diet puts the metabolism in order, bringing it close to optimal functioning. Due to the absence of carbohydrates with a high glycemic index, the functioning of the pancreas is normalized and cravings for sweets are suppressed.
3. Thanks to the large amount of dairy products, the body receives a sufficient amount of protein, as well as calcium and lactose. This promotes the loss of fat tissue while maintaining and even building muscle.
4. The diet prescribes eating a large amount of non-starchy vegetables, and these are vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and fiber. Nourishing and healthy! Improves bowel function. If, of course, you really consume vegetables to the maximum. The fat content in Protasov's diet is limited, but fat as such is not expelled. This is very correct.

Exit from Kim Protasov's diet:

1. We are replacing some dairy products. We take completely low-fat (0.5-1% fat), and add vegetable oil to salads to compensate. Per day - no more than 3 teaspoons of vegetable oil. That is, we replace part of the animal fats with an equivalent amount of vegetable fats. Three olives contain one and a half grams of good fat, three large almonds also contain one and a half grams. Accordingly, if you eat olives or nuts, then reduce the amount of oil. We count fats all the time: no more than 30-35 g per day.
2. We replace two out of three apples with some other fruits (but not very sweet ones).
3. In the morning, instead of vegetables, we eat porridge at the rate of 1-2 tables. spoons of dry cereal for the corresponding volume of water. For porridge - low-fat cottage cheese, plus vegetable salad;
4. We replace some dairy products with lean meat, chicken and other lean sources of protein.
   All these changes should not be introduced all at once, but gradually.
