Example protein diet for weight loss

Premise

The following indications are for information purposes EXCLUSIVELY and are not intended to replace the opinion of professional figures such as doctor, nutritionist or dietician, whose intervention is necessary for the prescription and composition of CUSTOMIZED food therapies.

Generality

The protein diet for weight loss is a nutritional regime, probably hypocaloric, which prefers a higher protein content than the traditional distribution of macronutrients, exploiting the positive characteristics of proteins on weight loss, which are:

• > Specific Dynamic Action - ADS
• <Insulin Index
• > plastic support for muscles

... to the detriment of nutritional balance:

• > intake of nitrogen groups and> liver and kidney work
• > keto-acidosis, especially in conjunction with a drastic reduction in carbohydrates
• Worsening of the PRAL
• > saturated fatty acids and dietary cholesterol
• <glucose for any sporting performance and, consequently, > muscle catabolism
• <dietary fiber
• > gastric fatigue
• Possible alteration of intestinal physiological bacterial flora - etc.

Obviously, the healthiness or the harmfulness of the protein diet for weight loss depend exclusively on the technique with which it is calculated; in a nutshell, the protein increase can be absolute or percentage, where "absolute" means a quantitative increase in dietary proteins compared to the REAL requirement (and NORMALcalorico), and "percentage" means an increase in the food protein fraction compared to IPO-caloric energy (probably obtained by reducing the weight of fat-sugars to lower calories, but preserving that of peptides).

In the absolute increase of proteins, the chosen protein coefficient is ALWAYS excessive compared to the real needs of the person.

NB . The choice or not of food supplements to be associated with the protein diet for weight loss depends on the therapist's ability to provide all the necessary nutrients and on the subject's self-management capacity in food therapy.

Protein diet for weight loss: example

The following example will be referred to the method with the percentage increase of proteins, that is keeping the quantity constant starting from the normocaloric need, even if setting a HYPOCALORIC.

• Post office employee, performs fitness 4 times a week, including 2 spinning and 3 crossfit; he wants to lose a few pounds in preparation for his marriage but without depleting his muscle mass

NB . To appreciate the technique of calculating the protein diet to lose weight with a percentage increase in proteins it is necessary to note that: compared to normocaloric energy, the percentage of proteins calculated on the desirable physiological weight would be about 18.7%, but transferring the same weight protein on the low-calorie diet, the percentage rises accordingly to 26.7%! This is the concept of the protein diet for weight loss with a percentage increase in dietary proteins.
