Diet BUCH

Now among athletes, and simply those who want to lose weight, the BUCH diet or protein-carbohydrate alternation is especially popular. This is rather not even a diet, but a special nutritional technique.

Butch diet - what is the essence

This diet is based on the principle of alternating days when you can eat foods rich in protein, and days when carbohydrate foods are allowed.

• Protein food is allowed on the first day.
• The second day should also be protein.
• On the third day, it is recommended to eat a carbohydrate meal.
• During the fourth day, it is suggested to eat mixed food.

Then, if desired, a new cycle should be continued. The number of cycles depends entirely on your willpower and how many pounds you want to lose. Weight goes away quickly from the first days, as there is an intensive consumption of fats.

By the end of the second protein day, as a result of metabolism, the fat burning process reaches its maximum. In order not to start losing muscle mass, it is necessary to include carbohydrates in the diet, which happens on the third day. An impressive amount of carbohydrates allows the body not to lose muscle, but to continue to get rid of fat reserves. In this case, glycogen consumed from carbohydrate foods will accumulate in the muscles and liver.

On the fourth day, further reimbursement of the lost adipose tissue for the body takes place. On this day, the amount of carbohydrates decreases, while the protein content, on the contrary, increases.
