And the principles are simple: as much protein and as little carbohydrate. And as the only food protein food is hazardous to health, even in the most "severe" the first two weeks are allowed to receive a certain amount of carbohydrates.

In order that man may be guided in how much what he ate, there are special tables that painted the nutritional value of products in USD (one USD equals 1 gram of net carbs). The number of protein foods (meat, fish, eggs) do not contain the USD, so these products can be used without restrictions. Basically USD contain carbohydrates, they are something and offers limited.

The first two weeks should be severely limit carbohydrate intake to 20 USD (normal for a healthy human of 400 - 450 g carbohydrate per day). That is invited to two consecutive weeks have mostly meat, fish, eggs, cheese, drink the broth (it has no units). This menu is added to the $ 20 carbohydrates, it will be a choice:

• 200 g of any cabbage (belokachannoy, broccoli, cauliflower);
• 3 tomatoes;
• one Apple;
• one small potato.

After two weeks, it is recommended to add 5 USD per week and gradually reach 60 USD a day, and this stop using such a diet is constant (when it is the WHO recommended rate of at least 400 g carbohydrate per day).

Tunable metabolism Improves metabolism and losing weight without dieting . Normally energy material that is "fuel" necessary for the occurrence of biochemical processes in the body (they even make up the metabolism), are carbohydrates. If they are present in the diet in the required amount, then to build proteins are body's own proteins (the formation and "repair" cells) and fats are used for proper metabolism.

When you go to a protein food as "fuel" fats are being used, and the shortage of the latter - proteins. When factoring in the metabolic products (metabolites), during which energy is released, fats and proteins form toxic substances that are slowly poisoning the body. So long "sit" on the protein diet is dangerous for life. Especially when it can suffer kidney, because they derive from our body all the products of metabolism.
