Pros and cons of the diet
The dairy diet is an ideal option for people who want to burn subcutaneous fat without losing muscle. The beneficial substances of cow's milk help to achieve quick results and maintain health.
Some advantages of the dairy diet:
- Useful material. One cup of milk contains 30% calcium, 24% vitamin D and 26% riboflavin of the recommended daily value. It is also rich in potassium, protein and vitamin B12. All these microelements help strengthen the body, improve health and start fat burning processes.
- Healthy cardiovascular system. A diet that includes plenty of milk reduces the likelihood of heart disease and type 2 diabetes in adults. It also helps maintain healthy blood pressure and limits sodium exposure. Excessive amounts can lead to constant thirst, swelling and allergic reactions. An excess of this microelement appears due to the consumption of unhealthy foods such as chips, burgers, sausage, sauces, French fries, etc.
- Prevents the accumulation of subcutaneous fat. Drinking milk significantly reduces the risk of obesity. Studies have shown (listed below) that people whose diets contain high amounts of full-fat dairy products are 23% less likely to be overweight than those who do not consume them.
As Wikipedia writes about milk, apart from moral and ethnic beliefs, there are other disadvantages, for example:
- 65-75% of people in the world suffer from lactose intolerance. Humanity began consuming dairy and fermented milk products about 7,500 years ago in Northern Europe. Since modern humans have been around for approximately 200,000 years, consuming lactose is a relatively new thing for our species. Many people don't even know that they are intolerant to dairy products.
- Allergic reactions, for example: Acne. Lactose accelerates the production of mTORC1 (the target of rapamycin in mammals), which causes sebum (sebum) to be produced in large quantities and the sebaceous glands to enlarge. This leads to the development of acne.
- High sugar levels. Milk contains natural sugar - lactose. It is harmless on the glycemic index, but still provokes an increase in insulin levels. And insulin, in turn, transfers excess sugar to the fat depot. But consuming lactose in excessive quantities can lead to this (perhaps excess weight will not increase, but fat burning will also stop).
Is it expensive to go on a dairy diet?
As the experience of losing weight shows, the costs are small. If you follow a strict diet plan, the cost is approximately 50-70 rubles per day. Other options can cost up to 90-100 rubles (if you purchase additional products).
The basis of any diet is the number of calories eaten per day. Here you can calculate how much you need. It all depends on your weight, because a 60-kilogram person needs less food than an 80-kg person. And since the calorie norm will be different, that means the budget will too.
Features of the dairy diet
By the way, such a nutritional system involves consuming not only milk, but also fermented milk products without added sugar. Among them are whey, yogurt (it is better to make homemade yogurt), curdled milk, kefir, etc. Yes, I wrote options for diets with fermented milk - “kefir and cucumbers” and “kefir and apples.” Read the results and reviews of these diets in these articles. Maybe you will like kefir options better
