Lose 5 pounds in 15 days with the intermittent low-carb diet
Five days of ketogenic and low-carb diet and two days of high-carb diet: here is the simple plan to lose 5 kilos in 15 days with a cyclical ketogenic diet, which neutralizes the disadvantages of a low-carbohydrate diet thanks to the weekend and allows you to lose weight faster than with another regimen. But what exactly does such a diet consist of?
Simple: from Monday to Friday no carbohydrates are eaten apart from green leafy vegetables and very little fruit. On Saturday and Sunday, on the other hand, you can enjoy pasta, bread and pizza but also a dessert. While the protein content is fixed and normal (it is not a high-protein diet), the fat content rises in the first five days, and then we eat fat-free at the weekend.
What are the advantages of such a regime? It does not lower the metabolism, it allows us to eat and not go hungry, it makes us lose weight more than a traditional low-calorie one. The estimated weight loss is to lose 5 pounds in 15 days without any problems.
Here then is the weekly pattern to be repeated for a month.
