The Sukkar diet is a combination of two diets and also a little bit of two worlds: developed by Dr. Samir G. Sukkar, gastroenterologist and specialist in food science, the Sukkar diet in fact combines the best of the Mediterranean tradition (understood as diet of the whole Mediterranean basin and not only Italian) and of the oriental diet, in particular Japanese. If you are looking for a healthy diet to lose weight before summer, the Sukkar diet can be for you, allowing you to lose one size (4 kilos) per month.

What are the characteristics of the Sukkar diet? The Sukkar diet was defined by Dr. Sukkar as an alternating diet , with days of eating less and days of eating more: an alternation of calorie-reduced days with days of normal balanced nutrition leads to a greater loss of weight and to stimulate metabolism. The foods of Sukkar are fruits and vegetables, aromatic herbs and spices, legumes, fish, cereals, tubers, nuts, white meats and eggs, olive oil and a little soy oil, low-fat dairy products.The alternation of lean days with normal days means that you can eat your fill on some days of the week and make a real diet on the other days. In general, the typical diet includes five meals, three of which are main, with lunch based on cereals and legumes or tubers and vegetables, dinner with proteins up to 150 grams including raw or seared fish or meat, tofu or eggs, snacks based on nuts and oil seeds, very little salt, a portion of fruit and no sweets. Even industrially processed foods are eliminated in this diet, which therefore follows a healthy and basically vegetarian diet.

In short, it is a mostly vegetarian diet that revolves around common sense, and the idea of ​​being able to increase metabolism and immune defenses thanks to caloric rotation and the quality of food . The caloric rotation also allows us not to exceed: if on the normal diet day we eat too much, on the fruit and vegetable diet day more proteins we will naturally eat less, so overall we will be able to keep fit without effort.
