Protein diet

Home Protein diet

This medical-diet plan consisting of providing purified proteins of high biological value causes decreased fat mass while preserving lean body mass (muscle, bone tissue etc.).

The entire process occurs without feeling hungry and maintains an optimal condition due to the contribution of trace elements and the process of metabolizing fats produced (ketosis).

On the one hand, the basic principle is based on providing the desired rate of protein for each individual, which is essential to preserving muscle mass, and on the other hand, it reduces the rate of carbohydrates (sugars) and fats (lipids), responsible for weight increase.

Instead of being a strict method for losing weight, it offers a wide program of flavours and textures that makes it possible for our medical team to create likeable “menus” to suit your needs.

Advantages:

Rapid weight loss (7 to 10 Kg./ month).
Absence of hunger.
Feeling of vitality.
Preservation of muscle mass.
Quick normalization of clinical and biological alterations.
Secure method (scientific and protocoled base).

HISTORY: The failures of conventional low calorie diets have led researchers to look for alternatives. One of the studies accomplished was how complete fasting affected our body, when in 1912, Professor Benedict was considering a study based on prolonged fasting.

The professor published a paper setting out the results produced after prolonged fasting, and this demonstrated how a number of metabolic mechanisms allows the body to adjust to fasting.

These mechanisms have been adapted to the general requirements of the person and the particular needs of each organ.

Many authors have attempted t o modify fasting entirely in order to eliminate the risks and reach effectiveness. But four decades ago it was Dr. Blackburn who developed the concept of a protein diet and determined the basics that are still in force today.

He suggested that a protein diet can reduce insulin secretion that blocks the formation of fat (lipogenesis), activates mobilization of fat (lipolysis), and protects the metabolic activity of the noble tissues. He established the correct amount of protein to maintain steadiness of nitrogen balance; for women 1.2 g / kg / day and for men 1.5 g / Kg / day.

STAGES OF PROTEIN DIET

Treatment consists of several phases or stages, the first three are ketogenic where weight is rapidly lost, from 5 – 7 kg a month, depending on the stage. During these three phases vegetables should be combined with intake of protein products and / or animal protein. Moreover, since the beginning nutritional chronobiology and Ritmonutrición® are applied for better patient compliance to the diet.

The following phases of the treatment are a transition, where weight loss is slower, 2-4 kg / month, besides, the vegetables, animal protein and / or protein supplements, bread, fruit, pulses and cereals are added as Rythmonutrition and nutritional chronobiology continue to be applied.

At all stages, the diet is supplemented with micronutrients, which maintains the recommended daily intake of trace elements, vitamins and minerals, without any risk of deficiency.

Finally the Food Balance Phase is where strategies are applied from the nutritional point of view and for the patient to maintain the weight achieved.

The protocol conducted and controlled by the physician is the key to success and it guarantees losing weight in good health conditions with no rebound effect.
