Rules for choosing diets

When choosing a fast diet, you need to focus on the following rules:

The foods that are used in making diet menus should be available. Most often, quick weight loss programs are mono-diets, that is, they are based on the consumption of any one food product.
A product that acts as a basic product should not cause rejection. Otherwise, it will be difficult to maintain such a diet.
Preference should be given to a diet that does not require the preparation of complex dishes. Otherwise, a person will spend a lot of time in the kitchen, where there are many temptations to eat something extra.
During the diet, at least minimal physical activity should be observed. You need to devote half an hour of time per day to walking, cycling, swimming or other sports.

The opinion of doctors about fast weight loss

Physician-psychotherapist Mikhail Gavrilov, author of the patented method of behavior correction and weight loss, member of the IFM, USA:

Four hormones are responsible for controlling appetite in humans: neuropeptide, cortisol, ghrelin and insulin. By reducing the calorie content of the daily diet, a person introduces the body into a state of severe stress, which leads to hormonal imbalance. The body is so constantly in tension due to the impact on it of various negative factors of the surrounding world. Here, and the person independently aggravates his "plight" situation. The reaction can be the most unpredictable!

If a person receives only 500 kcal per day, then ghrelin begins to accumulate in the stomach. Over time, there will be a lot of it, which will lead to a breakdown. A person will not be able to control his own appetite. In addition, any hunger strike negatively affects the metabolism.
