Chemical Diet

Weight loss is a complex biochemical process. It can be triggered in two ways: by reducing the calorie intake or by starting a special fat-burning regime. The first method gets a lot of play because it is much more understandable and consists of a simple correlation — less food, smaller weight. However, it is inferior to the second method, and Cook It will explain why.

The diet, which we will discuss below, has received an interesting name — chemical. Its purpose lies in kickstarting fat burning processes, as opposed to depletion of the body.

Osama Hamdy’s Chemical Diet

What’s wrong with standard weight-loss methods? Limiting high-calorie food will lead to a quick result, but it will also lead to nutrient deficiency in the body and the burning of not only fat but also muscle tissue. You’ll have to work very hard to achieve a well-toned and sculptured body.

The chemical diet, on the other hand, limits carbohydrates but permits protein. Your core will strengthen, while your weight will decrease, despite the high-calorie content of the dishes. For example, you can indulge in dietary meat dishes (baked, grilled, boiled). Of course, there are some other rules, as well.

1. You are to follow this diet for four weeks. After that, you may repeat weeks 1 and 4 to get the best result. There are no restrictions on the amount of food; however, it is best to eat plenty and regularly, without overeating.
2. Maintaining a stable water balance is key: drink 6–7 cups of water a day.
3. All vegetables except potatoes are permitted.
4. With three meals a day, you can also have snacks of herbs, tomatoes, celery, and cucumbers (no earlier than after 2 hours after the previous meal).
5. Opt for fruits that contain the least amount of sugar and eliminate sugar and artificial sweeteners from your diet, as well.
6. Do not eat grapes, bananas, and dates.

I am an English major with a love of languages and fiction, and with an incurable travel bug. In my free time, I read fantasy, drink copious amounts of coffee, and like to go see movies. Culinary art means everything to me. My main hypostasis is the taster, though. The music school has taught me to appreciate the symphony of airy meringues, to create harmonious overtures of light snacks, hard rock of meat, fish, and vegetables on the grill. Choir classes have accustomed me to hear and feel the people nearby and create perfect harmonies of sounds.
