Products for the Protasov diet are important nuances
Let's talk about meat, which is a prohibited product in the Protasov diet in the first 14 days. One can not but agree that lean meat contains a large number of animal fats, which are forbidden by Protasov's diet (even if there is no visible fat on this meat).
True, the exception is fish and poultry - there are fewer fats. According to reviews about the diet Protasova, in the first 5-7 days on her because of a somewhat monotonous diet to sit boring.
According to the diet Protasova, the key fruit in it are apples. Of course, not all of them can so often use them. For example, people with certain diseases of the gastrointestinal tract can not always eat apples because they can irritate the gastric mucosa or cause fermentation in the body.
But! Apples are quite sweet and contain a decent amount of glucose, which is not very recommended with the diet Protasov. It is better to choose more acidic varieties of apples, the dietician believes.
For this reason, apples are best used in the morning. Then the body will better understand them, and the energy received from sugars will go to maintain vital forces, rather than fatty deposits.
