Atomic diet

An incredible variety of diets have been developed for weight loss. They all have varying degrees of effectiveness. One of the most effective diets is called "Atomic". It is based on alternating protein and carbohydrate diets.

The atomic diet - what is the essence

In this technique, the days alternate. The first day you eat protein food, the next day you will have carbohydrate food - vegetables and fruits. Based on this principle, such diets like Swiss and some others. On the days of carbohydrate food intake, the body is saturated with energy, and on protein days, fat reserves are spent, and therefore the amount of glycogen decreases. Thus, there is an increase in metabolism and the burning of excess fat.

During the diet, you need to drink as much water as possible in order to prevent dehydration, which happens with fruit and vegetable nutrition. In addition to water, you can drink herbal tea, but only on a carbohydrate day. This diet is not hungry because the menu is quite varied and the portion size is not small. Vegetables, fruits and legumes contain a lot fiber which acts on the intestines like a brush. As a result, the digestion process is facilitated.
