Obesity is the epidemic of the 21st century. Incorrect eating habits and sedentary lifestyle are the main causes of weight gain and, with it, also increases the risk of diseases such as: diabetes, hypertension and heart attack, among others.
What is the Protein Diet and what does it consist of?
The Protein Diet is an Aesthetic Medicine treatment in which we reduce calories by reducing carbohydrates and fats in the diet, but we maintain an adequate amount of proteins in order not to lose muscle mass. All this is medically measured and controlled, individualized and supplemented with the necessary vitamins and minerals.
Since the beginning of the last century, there is evidence that supports this diet and gives it a character of safety and efficacy to treat obesity, overweight and associated pathologies with guaranteed health.
Protein preparations of high biological value are its diamond in the rough, whose administration is combined with vegetables chosen for their low sugar content and a vitamin and mineral supplementation adjusted to the patient. All this keeps the patient in balance while losing weight quickly.
Thanks to its approach, the patient’s body starts to burn fat reserves within 48-72 hours of starting the diet. By administering high quality proteins, the body preserves muscle mass and in this way, obese or overweight people decrease their body fat percentage in a fast, efficient and beneficial way for their health.
Lose weight and gain health
You read, you hear, that protein diets damage the liver and kidneys and: it is true; but it does not happen with the Protein Diet. The damage we are referring to occurs when we use animal proteins, without measure or control and when we do not supplement with minerals and vitamins adequately. Under medical control, the Protein Diet does not harm, but decreases the risk factors of Metabolic Syndrome. “Cure”.
Losing weight fast and well
This rapid weight loss does not result in rapid weight regain. By preserving muscle, basal metabolism is preserved and the body does not experience the yo-yo effect. However, if we return to bad eating habits, we can regain the lost weight. The Protein Diet should be used to modify lifestyle habits; both eating habits and the incorporation of physical activity into our lives. In this way, results will be achieved sooner and, better yet, sustained over the long term.
