Kremlin diet - recipes

Since the Kremlin diet appeared, debates between nutritionists and doctors about its benefits and harms have not stopped.

In the article we will tell you how to follow it correctly and what effect can be achieved, and also provide a menu for the week with recipes and full compliance with the points on the table, photos of the results and reviews of those losing weight.

Basic rules and principle of operation

The main and distinctive rule of the Kremlin diet is the consumption of foods in unlimited quantities. Or rather, complete satisfaction of the needs of your body. Everyone is accustomed to thinking that a diet is a proper, separate diet with the consumption of juices and vegetable fats. However, this is not entirely correct. After all, what can you expect from malnutrition?

Lack of valuable proteins, fats and carbohydrates in the body, decreased immunity. As a result, the development of anemia, loss of strength, loss of performance, other health problems, the body's transition to no backup nutrition.

The essence of the Kremlin's nutritional system is to consume proteins in large quantities, but without carbohydrates, since most of the energy is spent on digesting proteins by the body rather than on their significant calorie content.

The basic rules of the diet include:

1. Exclusion from the diet of all carbohydrates and sugar-containing products: cereals, white bread, fruits, peas, beans, vegetables.
2. Compliance with a table in which, using a point scale, you can calculate the required amount of food per day according to the carbohydrates present in a particular product, indicated on the label.
3. This nutrition system must be followed constantly, and not stopped when the desired results are achieved. You need to increase your diet to 60 points.
4. Mandatory fluid intake up to 5 liters per day.
5. Maintaining muscle tone , that is, along with the diet, it is mandatory to perform strength exercises, squats, and lifting dumbbells.

Duration and result of weight loss

The principle of the diet is to switch the body to a mode of reduced carbohydrate intake, directing energy from carbohydrate intake to burning fat reserves. Weight decreases slowly but steadily, and there are no limits to caloric intake, and all health indicators also improve. Cholesterol and triglycerol levels return to normal.

How much can you lose?

You can lose 5.5 -7 kg in 7-8 days, up to 15 kg in 1.5 months, and it is important to drink at least 1.5 liters of water a day every day. The more weight, the faster it decreases.

The duration of the diet is 7 days; if you feel well, you can continue it further, until the end of stage 4. Next, you can take a break and repeat after 2 months. If you have lost several kilos in a week, you can include carbohydrates in your food, as well as green apples to maintain immunity and appearance. But this needs to be done gradually, adding new foods to the diet in moderation.

If after 7 days there are no results at all, it is better to abandon the diet and look for another method for weight loss.

Stages

To lose weight, you need to go through a program containing 4 stages of the Kremlin nutrition system:

1. Stage 1, lasting 2 weeks , with a gradual reduction of carbohydrates from the diet to 20 USD, excluding flour, sweet, cereal products, sugar, chocolate, potatoes, corn. It is allowed to eat unlimited quantities of fish, meat, eggs, cottage cheese, cheeses, that is, protein foods. Stage 1 allows you to start the fat burning process, get quick results and adapt the body to a new diet. In just 2 weeks you can lose up to 10 kg, but everything is individual, and everyone is different.
2. Stage 2 of the diet is intended to establish the required amount of carbohydrates per day, and at the same time introducing foods containing carbohydrates into the diet, but not more than 5 cu. e per week. If, when adding points, the process of losing weight has slowed down, then carbohydrate intake should be reduced to 3 USD. The effectiveness of stage 2 is weight loss up to 4 kg.
3. Stage 3 – gradual introduction of high-carbon products up to 10 cu. e per week, adding 1 ingredient to food every day, thereby expanding the diet. If the weight loss has stopped, all carbohydrates must be eliminated from the diet again. Stage 3 is designed to maintain the newly acquired body shape and improve the result up to 4 kg.
4. The last 4th stage of the diet is designed to maintain the results obtained and, if possible, continue to eat a diet with a minimum amount of carbohydrates throughout the rest of your life. At stage 4, you can already decide on the benefits of certain products, but counting points and carbohydrates must be continued daily, otherwise body weight may begin to increase again.

Changing your usual diet following only one stage is not enough; it is important to constantly exercise, thereby stimulating intestinal function and speeding up metabolism.

MEDICAL OPINIONS

Reviews of the Kremlin diet from nutritionists and those losing weight contribute to the formation of an objective assessment of this nutrition system. At the same time, many people wonder: how much can you lose if you strictly follow it? Reviews and results of those who have lost weight indicate that the maximum weight loss per week is 5 kg.

The protein diet is appreciated by world stars of show business (Madonna, Boris Moiseev, Jennifer Aniston). At the same time, Catherine Zethe-Jones, having excluded baked goods and sweets from her diet, managed to lose 19 kg in 3 months. However, doctors' reviews are not as clear as the opinions of celebrities.

Nutritionist Ruslana Piskoppel has substantiated in her works that a low-carbohydrate menu often provokes a breakdown, in which the lost weight returns again. The nutritionist, together with Professor V.A. Dedali (member of the International Association of Micronutrition of the USA), as a result of the research, came to the conclusion that excessive consumption of animal protein leads to the formation of uric acid salts. As a result, Piskoppel believes that such a diet is harmful to the body.

In contrast to Ruslana’s negative conclusion, the medical practice of nutritionist Alexey Kovalkov, and numerous reviews of people who have lost weight, state the opposite - about the high effectiveness of this weight correction system. In his video, the doctor explains how the Kremlin diet works, how many points per day you can eat and what you cannot eat in order to achieve the result (minus 2 kg in 3 days).

Vilena Gurova, editor of the publications “Russian Medical Journal” and “Da Signa”, was convinced from her own experience of the effectiveness of the “Kremlin”. After completing a week-long weight loss course, she lost 3 kg and described dietary recipes for soups (cabbage, mushroom) from allowed carbohydrate-free ingredients, which allow you to diversify the diet of those losing weight. The daily portion of first courses is 250 ml.

Based on the information collected, Vilena published the book “The Kremlin Diet in Gurov’s Details,” which contains a complete table of caloric content of foods and recipes for dishes with points.

Perhaps one of the most active fans of a protein diet is fitness trainer and former Russian bodybuilding champion Vladimir Molodov. He is also a sports nutrition specialist. Therefore, it is not surprising that the “Kremlin diet from Vladimir Molodov” is widely popular among many athletes today.

For lovers of printed publications, a book by nutritionist Anna Vishnevskaya is available for sale. This publication contains a table of points for the Kremlin diet, recipes with points for fish and meat dishes, and a list of products allowed for consumption. In addition, the book describes in detail the method of cleansing the body to maintain the achieved result.

Considering the reviews of people losing weight, the most popular dishes for the Kremlin diet are:

• beef with cheese in sour cream (1.1 c.u.);
• shrimp soup “tom yum” (16.2 USD);

The Kremlin diet is not ideal. It excludes the consumption of the amount of fresh vegetables and fruits necessary for the body. This leads to a deficiency of important vitamins, minerals, trace elements, pectin, fiber, polysaccharides and other substances. Why do people who go on this diet often fail? Watch videos on YouTube and read reviews on forums. You will understand that protein nutrition leads to damage to your appearance. In addition, problems arise with interruptions in the heart, liver function, and blood quality deteriorates.

In order for the Kremlin diet to be effective, you need:

• consume an increased dose of water;
• include days in which the number of points will be 40 units;
• take breaks between courses;
• reduce meat consumption, increase the amount of vegetables and fruits;
• take multivitamins;
• Monitor your condition all the time.
