What kind of diets did not invent those who want to get rid of extra pounds and centimeters. Choose for every taste - eat and lose weight. If you want, chew sausages with kilograms, as Alla Borisovna used to be, and if you want, absorb kefir in liters, like Larisa Dolina. Well, if the soul asks for sweets, chocolate, caramel and other diet menus are at your service. Honey diet is especially popular with losing weight. There are legends about its effectiveness on the Internet. Let's try to figure out with you whether everything is really so good or rumors are greatly exaggerated.
We open the daily diet and read: the honey diet limits calorie intake to 1200 per day. So the first minus was discovered - a low-calorie diet. And this means that the metabolism is slowing down, which means that it will be more and more difficult for you to lose weight after each such diet. Moreover, frightened by an unplanned hunger strike, the body will begin to make strategic reserves for the future.
The menu of the honey diet per day consists of sour-milk products (we must think it's kefir, cottage cheese, fermented baked milk). Acid berries, vegetables (not all, but only cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, green beans, pumpkin, beets, green salad), citrus fruits and freshly squeezed juices from them are allowed.
As you can see, the diet is extremely poor in protein. Even by eating kilograms of vegetables and fruits, you will never get the nutrients found in meat or fish.
In addition, the drafters of the diet strongly recommend adding a spoonful of honey to each meal. They explain their perseverance by the fact that it is in this product that the whole "salt" of the diet is. Of course, he will not bring much harm, although his usefulness in this process is very doubtful.
No one argues that honey is a wonderful gift from nature itself. Rather, he was like that until a man intervened in the production process. Today it is as difficult to meet natural bee honey in a store or on the market as an honest traffic police officer on Russian roads. Therefore, it is safe to say that your honey diet will be supplemented with regular sugar, with a small percentage of honey. But even if you have a familiar beekeeper, do not rush to rejoice.
Not so long ago, scientists have found that our body does not care what we eat: sugar, honey, chocolate or sugar substitute. The brain only recognizes the sweet taste and sends a signal to the pancreas to inject another portion of insulin into the blood.
In addition, honey, unlike substitutes, has a fairly high calorie content, which means it is quite capable of being deposited in the body's storage.
Thus, honey does not stimulate, but rather inhibits the process of losing weight.
Now find out how many extra calories we get with three teaspoons of honey. By weight it is about 60 g of product, the nutritional value of which is 320 kcal per hundred grams, total 198 kcal. And note, you will not be full with a spoon of honey - rather the opposite.
Perhaps the authors of the diet relied on calcium contained in honey. As you know, in his presence, the process of splitting fats is more active. But calcium is also found in milk, cottage cheese, and potatoes. Why was its source chosen so unsuccessfully?
Perhaps a honey diet and a joy for the sweet tooth, but you can’t name it well thought out.
The yolk-honey diet, in which it is recommended for breakfast lunch and dinner, to drink a cocktail from a couple of yolks and a spoonful of honey, is not subject to any criticism at all. Just curious how soon losing weight will get to the hospital with salmonella?
It would be very unfair to find so many minuses not to voice a single plus. And he is here too, though very peculiar. If you believe in miracles, they happen. Do you think that with a low-calorie diet and honey you can permanently lose weight? Perhaps it will be with you.
If you think that I alone didn’t like the honey diet, you can find the reviews of specialists on it yourself. I did not exaggerate at all, I just added details to the comments of nutritionists.
