Protasov diet: menu for each week

In this publication, we will make it easier for those who are losing weight by writing out a menu for each week according to the diet of Kim Protasov, an Israeli nutritionist. We will also think about the features of the Protasov diet

How to smoothly switch to the Protasov diet?

It is very important during this diet, according to Protasov himself, to free the body from the psychological and physiological thirst for sweet products, in particular flour products with sugar.

To achieve this without stressing your body, it is very important to eat more fruits, which will replace sweet flour dishes.

Protasov Diet: Week 1

Every day – maximum vegetables without heat treatment, fermented milk products without starch and sugar in the composition. Especially lean on cottage cheese – it contains useful calcium.

A hard-boiled egg and 3 sweet and sour apples are allowed daily.

Protasov Diet: Week 2

You eat the same as in the first week of the Protasov diet. Over the past period (7 days), if you did not deviate from the diet, you already begin to almost not want sweets, unhealthy sausages and other pleasures of life.

Continue the same diet for another week. By the way, weight loss has already started.

Protasov Diet: Week 3

You have already gotten used to doing without fried, fatty, smoked and sweet flour products. This is great. Now you can add a little fried to the previous diet with vegetables, fruits and boiled eggs. Grilled fish or poultry is a tasty and nutritious addition to your menu.

But instead, you need to sacrifice a little the amount of fermented milk products - yoghurts and curds.

Protasov's Diet: 4-5th week

You eat the same as during the 1st and 2nd weeks. It is at this time, if you have not deviated from the Protasov nutrition system, that your weight will begin to drop sharply. The surprise of people who know you closely will know no bounds - the loss of kilograms at this stage of the diet is very significant.

Protasov also recommends not to give up drinks so that the body does not become dehydrated. Green tea, coffee - both drinks without sugar - and still mineral water are very suitable for you as liquids. The total volume of liquid drunk per day should be at least 2 liters.

Now you have really lost weight, and significantly! At the same time, you have cleansed your body of toxins and excess fluid. Now, after so much effort, you will not suddenly gain weight again, will you? Therefore, you need to exit the Protasov diet smoothly, slowly, over the next 5 weeks. We will tell you about this in the next publication.

Products for the Protasov Diet - Important Nuances

Let's talk about meat, which is a prohibited product in the Protasov diet in the first 14 days. One cannot but agree that lean meat contains a large amount of animal fats, which are prohibited by the Protasov diet (even if there is no visible fat on this meat).

True, the exception is fish and poultry - they have the least fat. According to reviews of the Protasov diet, it is boring to sit on it for the first 5-7 days due to the somewhat monotonous diet.

According to the Protasov diet, the key fruit in it is apples. Of course, not everyone can eat them so often. For example, people with certain gastrointestinal diseases cannot always eat apples because they can irritate the stomach lining or cause fermentation processes in the body.

But! Apples can be quite sweet and contain a decent amount of glucose, which is not very recommended for the Protasov diet. It is better to choose more sour varieties of apples, the nutritionist believes.

For this reason, it is better to eat apples in the first half of the day. Then the body will absorb them better, and the energy received from sugars will go to maintaining vitality, and not to fat deposits.
