The PnK method is a diet based on provoking a state of ketosis in the patient. The ketone bodies that are released during this process are manufactured by burning fat, in addition to inhibiting the sensation of hunger, so that weight loss is achieved at high speed.
The Pronokal diet is a normoproteic diet, that is, based on protein products in a limited amount per day, which achieves a fast and effective weight loss, without compromising the health and well-being of the patient.
The PnK method has many characteristics in common, but modifies the structure of the diet, reduces the amount of supplements to be consumed, incorporates regular and scheduled physical exercise, and offers a free coaching service for patients.
For this purpose, during the PnK method, the patient does not take in carbohydrates, so he or she goes into ketosis, which leads to the production of ketone products. Basically, ketone bodies are analogous to sugars, so they serve to feed different parts of our body. The advantage is that:
1) We make ketone bodies by “burning” fat, so fat is lost at a high rate.
2) Ketone bodies inhibit hunger, so the patient has a feeling of well-being and not of anxiety to eat.
What to eat?
The sugars or carbohydrates that are prohibited during the method are in almost all foods. However, all vegetables that do not contain excessive carbohydrates are allowed. Protein consumption depends on the step or phase of the PnK method in which we find ourselves.
1) In step 1, 5 Pronokal products are taken daily.
2) In step 2, we take 4 Pronokal products and the product we do not take is replaced by meat or fish (in limited quantity), or two eggs.
3) In step 3, we take 3 Pronokal products a day, and at lunch and dinner we take one protein-rich product (meat, fish or two eggs).
4) The final steps are dietary re-education. They are no longer in ketosis, so the patient begins to consume milk, fruit and progressively the whole range of foods.
Indications
The PnK method is suitable for any patient who does not present a contraindication to dieting. There is always an initial medical evaluation to see that the patient is suitable for the diet, as well as a close medical follow-up during the diet. Very few patients cannot benefit from the PnK method.
Results
The results are usually a rapid and effective weight loss from the first day, maintaining at all times the patient’s well-being and physical and mental health.
In addition, there is strong scientific evidence that supports the benefit and safety of the use of normoproteic diets, based on ketosis and supplemented with external contributions of micronutrients in which the diet may be deficient.
To guarantee its effectiveness, a physician is in charge of guiding the patient during the diet and verifying that he/she maintains health at all times.
