Low carb diet

The low-carb diet is also the name of the Kremlin diet and the Atkins diet. However, we will tell you a little about this diet on this page.

The low-carbohydrate diet, or as it is also called the Atkins diet, is a fairly effective method for losing weight based on the consumption of foods low in carbohydrates. This method was developed by Robert Atkins, a famous American nutritionist who proved that a low-carbohydrate diet reduces insulin levels in the blood, and this helps reduce appetite. In addition, when following a low-carbohydrate diet, a person consumes a large amount of fat, which contributes to the formation of ketone bodies, which also reduce appetite.

According to Atkins, the ratio of nutrients in food should look something like this: carbohydrates - 30%, fats - 40%, proteins - 30%. The most ardent adherents of this diet advise reducing carbohydrate intake to 20-40 grams per day.

A low-carbohydrate diet requires adherence to the following rules:

1. drinking enough liquid (preferably still mineral water);
2. organizing an additional source of potassium (taking vitamin and mineral complexes);
3. avoiding foods high in sugar;
4. consumption of relevant products.

This category refers to low-carbohydrate products - lean beef, poultry, all kinds of sea fish and shellfish, low-fat cheese, herbs and vegetables in unlimited quantities, and others. The list of foods allowed for the diet can be found on the website, in the table section. In this section there is a special table for the Kremlin diet (another name for the low-carbohydrate diet), which indicates the gram values ​​of carbohydrates contained in certain products. Also, in order to diversify your diet, you can use a unique service - a recipe analyzer, which in a few seconds will determine how much protein, fat and carbohydrates a finished dish contains, the glycemic index of the dish, and even the digestion time of its components. Having such an assistant at hand, you can significantly diversify your diet, making your diet both healthy and enjoyable.
