Separate meals for 90 days is an original scheme based on the classic division of food, which is strictly regulated on certain days. The authors of the books of the same name promise no more and no less than the acceleration of metabolism, the loss of 25 kilograms and no side effects for health. Let's try to find out how their promises are justified and how this program works.
It was invented by Polyanshek and Hrobart - two popular Slovak writers whose books far exceeded the circulation of world best-sellers. It is difficult to say which is more important: a good nutrition program or a successful advertising campaign. Doctors do not support the principles of separate nutrition, as they are not randomized trials that clearly indicate the benefits of this approach. But the system works, it also trains healthy diet habits and discipline.
90 days
The entire quarter is divided into four blocks, which are mixed in turn - until the end of the scheme, the course does not change. Each four-day cycle is important to execute, and if you fail, then at any time you need to return to the beginning of the cycle. If your βfailureβ lasted more than a week, you will need a respite (but it is not necessary to continue to destroy the baked goods) and return to the beginning of the diet. The scheme is absolutely elementary and intuitive. Breakfast at any stage is minimal, and those who lose weight create it themselves from a glass of any fruit, starting with blueberries and ending with exotic fruits. Want a banana? No problem, eat it. Reviews of separate nutrition say that this diet is easily tolerated.
Protein loading - mainly animal protein is implied here, although nuts are acceptable. Ideal consumption of fish, lean meat, tofu, cottage cheese, fermented baked milk. A little salad and a small slice of wholemeal bread are allowed. No sugar or other carbohydrates! Do not forget about seafood to get "healthy" fat.
Starch day consists of vegetables, potatoes, legumes and complex carbohydrates. On this day, protein should be minimized and it should only be an additive to vegetables, absolutely necessary for cooking. The use of salt is also best minimized; replace it with spices.
Carbohydrate day is the best and favorite sweet day. Fruits and even chocolate are allowed, only in moderation. You can also have some dessert for dinner. But remember, the more complex carbohydrates, the better.
Vitamin Day includes unsweetened fruits, lettuce, seeds, and nuts.
Take a fast on water at the end of a 29-day cycle.
The main requirement is a strict diet, as stated in the book. Breakfast for an amateur, fruits and berries, but the rest of the diet can be enjoyed at the allotted time - from 12 to 19 hours. The principle is elementary - for lunch you can eat food until you feel full, and the portion for dinner is 1/3 less than lunch. A diet of 90 days of separate nutrition, according to reviews, with the right approach, can get rid of unwanted weight (up to 20-25 kg, you need to look at the initial data).
Examples of meals for separate nutrition:
- Decoction of vegetables, boiled or baked potatoes.
- Buckwheat with butter and a small piece of bread.
- Pasta with tomato sauce.
- Oatmeal on skim milk.
- A piece of chocolate and crackers - sweet on this day is allowed, you can even eat ice cream.
- Dried fruits compote.
- Fresh fruit salad with honey sauce.
- Juice, fresh vegetable salad, pine nuts.
Advantages and disadvantages of a diet
Separate food, judging by the reviews, is considered a long course, with detailed instructions, fasting days and the possibilities of a smooth and controlled diet.
This is one of the few diets on which you can completely "legally" eat chocolate, cookies and ice cream.
Alternating days can remove muscle glycogen stores and speed up fat burning. In case of unauthorized use of the product or holidays, there is an opportunity to return to the beginning of the cycle, while most diets will need to start again.
Many nutritionists talk about the separate principles of nutrition as a pseudoscientific nonsense, that weight is lost due to reduced calories and depleted glycogen stores.
Effectiveness for Weight Loss
The combination of incompatible products leads to poor digestion, decay and fermentation of food waste. A properly designed separate nutrition diet, according to reviews, gradually cleanses the intestines, leading to weight loss.
Basic principles and rules
All products fall into three categories. According to the rules, it is impossible to combine products of the first and second categories:
- protein - fish, meat, eggs, nuts, soy, legumes;
- carbohydrates - cereals, flour products, fruits, sweets, potatoes;
- fats - vegetable and animal (including milk).
Why share food in this way? Studies have shown that the digestion of protein products requires an acidic environment, and carbohydrates decompose in alkali. To maintain balance in the body, you must strictly follow the following rules:
- Proteins of different origin (such as eggs and meat) cannot be consumed together.
- Acidic products do not combine with proteins.
- Milk, melon, watermelon should be consumed as an independent dish (do not mix with other products).
- Starch and sugar are eaten at different times.
- Enjoy cooking at one time, using healthy foods and healthy cooking methods.
- Chew food for a long time and carefully.
- Reduce the amount of spices, salt.
- Prefer simple, natural foods.

Print or rewrite compatibility products from the diagram. This table will be a useful guide for the first time that basic templates have not yet been remembered. Mixing products are marked with a plus (+). The valid combination is β0β. That it is better not to drink and not to eat together is marked with a minus sign (-). At the beginning of the diet, try eating a combination of products with a + sign to quickly restore the body.

Eat only during hunger. One must learn to distinguish hunger from simple appetite. To check, chew a leaf of cabbage, if you do it with pleasure, then you are hungry.

It is important to avoid unnecessary snacks that disrupt the digestive system and lead to weight gain.
In accordance with the separate nutrition program, you need to drink water 10 minutes before eating. After eating, drinking is not allowed for at least 30 minutes if you ate fruit, 2 hours if you ate starchy foods, and 4 hours if you consumed protein foods.
