Does the holoprotein diet work?
Have you ever heard of the holoprotein diet ? This is a diet that unfortunately is often recommended in some weight loss centers. They tell you, in summary, indeed, in a nutshell since it is paid, that if you want to lose weight in a localized way , that is many kilos in the belly, many in the butt, on the thighs, etc., the only solution is this special regime , the diet holoprotein, in fact.
Too bad that from the premise the diet promises what it cannot keep: localized weight loss through diet alone is a mirage, of those really fake, where you can see the sky and the papier-mâché palms. Yet, there are those who fall for it. There are those who really believe that it is possible to lose weight only in specific points with the sole power of food !!! But let’s get to the diet as well.
What is it about? The holoprotein diet is a starving diet, which in the attack phase lasts three weeks in which if you went to hoe the earth by eating black bread and onions you would get greater results, without spending a cent but above all with two incredible results: a more skinny and the vegetable garden, which is now so chic.
The holoprotein diet is a therapy (already the term therapy, after localized weight loss should make you run away!), Conceived by an Italian doctor, who has modified the principles ofBlackburn diet (that of protein fasting), with the idea of ​​creating a “balanced nitrogen balance” in our body, starving for sugars and fats to give proteins and amino acids with a very low number of calories. Already this thing is equivalent to talking about supplements, because if it were a normal protein diet we would talk about ketogenesis and proteins and stop, instead this thing of the amino acids smells of barbatrucco. The idea is to combine the protein diet with some method that makes ketosis effective without creating harmful waste for the body.
We only know that according to the holoprotein diet, we have to take about one and a half grams of protein for every kilo that makes up our ideal weight: so I would have to eat about 75 grams of protein a day to keep myself at my current weight of fifty kilos. An enormity, which for the holoprotein diet must come only from lean proteins: white meats, fish, eggs in moderation. This is because fats must also be low.
In fact, you can eat ten or twenty grams of fat and only ten grams of carbohydrates.Now, consider that on average a pound of fruit apart from bananas contains 15 grams of carbohydrates. In fact, fruit is banned from the holoprotein diet: 10 grams of carbohydrates are reached with vegetables (which therefore we cannot even eat to our fill). This is to make you understand how much ten grams of carbohydrates correspond in a diet. Eighty grams of green apple or, in vegetables, about 300 grams on average of salad. All day long! Equivalent to two salads. In the attack phase, carbohydrates are therefore banned, lean proteins are eaten and protein and amino acid supplements are taken to reach this rather high protein level. Plus you are under strict calorie control. So it’s kind of a Dukan without the Dukan advantage of being able to eat your fill. Got it, yeah?
