UN diet

At the very beginning to clarify everything about the myth around the name of this child. Of course, this is not a United Nations diet. This organization does not deal with the problem of excess weight, it already has enough of its own problems.

This program had a simple name - a three-month diet, and the popular "un" came later with the aim of presenting the diet as very acceptable to all food fans, because it is this characteristic that the menu during this diet is very rich and varied. that diet looks like a non-diet, or an un-diet.

However, don't expect to lose 15-20 or more pounds just like that, with a smile and without any trouble. True, this program will allow you to eat what almost no other diet would allow you to go crazy, but the results you expect come only after three months of following the instructions and rules prescribed by its creator - Meghan Telpner, and they support and confirm numerous satisfied customers.

The un-diet belongs to the class of long-term diets, and that in itself means that pounds are lost gradually, a little slower. This again, means more natural, and more thorough. Healthier. The un-diet consists of four daily plans that are marked by an emphasis on certain nutritional values ​​in foods.

Which means we have:

protein day

starchy day

day of carbohydrates

fruit day

The names of these four days only emphasize the dominant ingredient, but the menu also contains other foods that are richer in other ingredients. After the end of the first four days, the program is repeated. This approach allows for a balanced diet and slowly disciplines your metabolism, which is the goal of this diet. Metabolism is not easy to change and balance, which is why un-dieting takes a long time, but you can reach your desired weight 90 days ago. The pounds lost over such a long period of time will not come back as easily as those lost in just a few days. Fruits and vegetables are part of the daily menu.

In addition to this basic division into dominant days, the un-diet has several other rules, or principles.

Start the day with fruit. Every day. So the first meal should be two fruits of the same type. Choose for yourself whether it will be two apples, pears, oranges, two kiwis or similar. It is important not to mix fruits, which is only allowed in the program of the fourth, fruit day. Let the fruit you have chosen not be canned at all, but fresh and pay attention if you want to have smaller fruits like cherries, sour cherries, etc. for breakfast. - Eat about as much as you can fit in your hand (about 10 pieces). Do not eat more than 100g of stone or dried fruit per meal. Also, if you have opted for bananas, eat only one banana.

Make two liters of water a day a habit. This rule practically applies to two liters of liquid, but it is also allowed to drink lemonade, fresh, squeezed juice, coffee or tea. Of course all this without additional sweetening. Carbonated juices and drinks with a larger amount of sweeteners are not allowed, as well as alcohol. Do not drink water during meals, preferably half an hour before, or 2-3 hours after meals.

A four-day cycle always starts with a protein day. The diet is designed that way and the order of those days should be adhered to, more for self-discipline than for some other reasons, because if you start making and combining some of your plans and schedules yourself, the chances of not getting the desired results increase.

Everything you eat, eat no later than 20 hours, never after. No new rule, it should be followed even if you are not a user of any diet, but here we emphasize it, because we want to discipline your metabolism, or make it as efficient as possible in food processing. It is known that as the night approaches, the human body slows down all its processes, so with an earlier dinner you will prevent the drowsiness of the digestive system and be sure that the food you eat will be successfully processed. Otherwise, your body will keep the food it failed to process as the fat stores you just want to get rid of.

Take food combinations seriously. Pay the most attention to the fact that your days are designed so that one nutrient always dominates, and make sure it stays that way. So other ingredients are allowed only in an amount that will not jeopardize the dominance of the main nutrient for the day.

Proteins and carbohydrates as the main carriers of value should not come together in one meal. This means that if you eat meat, cheese, eggs or similar foods rich in protein, you should not mix it with bread, potatoes, or cereals in equal proportions.

Also, foods that contain more of the same nutrient, such as protein, should not be used in the same meal. Each protein-rich food requires a different amount of digestive juices and takes more or less time to excrete the necessary enzymes. Therefore, meat, cheese, eggs, milk and nuts should not be eaten in the same meal.

To avoid the fermentation process that can occur by mixing certain foods, do not eat honey, jam and sweet fruits together with cereals, potatoes or bread. So, starch and sugar are not a good combination for normal metabolism.

Eat as many fresh salads as possible with protein-rich meals. The reason for this is that fresh vegetables make it much easier to digest protein.

It is allowed to combine carbohydrates with other foods also rich in carbohydrates, although this can be done by many as a supersaturation of this nutrient. You can combine potatoes, rice, bread and other cereals with each other because their digestion process is simple and very similar.

Carbohydrates can be mixed freely with fats, but you should pay attention only to the type of fat you consume. Olive oil fats and sunflower or walnut butters are allowed.

Combining stone and dried fruit in the same meal is allowed.

Do not eat fruit after, but before meals, preferably half an hour before daily meals, or in the morning on an empty stomach.

We will now introduce you to the un-diet menu arranged by day. The emphasis, of course, is on consuming healthy foods, so processed and canned foods should be avoided. Please also note that food is cooked or lightly baked during preparation, and do not fry it.
