Protein diet

The value of protein for the body immensely. No wonder it has long been called the foundation of life. Researchers alien spaces is even such a concept: if the study the planet will be detected protein, which means that here there is life! So, no more, no less. However, to our knowledge, spectroscopic and other precision non-contact methods of research are still nowhere outside of our atmosphere is not possible to detect even the simplest amino acid. But to return to Earth.

Describing the function of proteins, can identify several of their classes:

transport. These proteins are involved in the transport of other substances. As an example well-known hemoglobin - a carrier of oxygen and carbon dioxide;
catalyst (or enzyme). This variety of proteins, like chemical catalysts, speeding up various processes of transformation of one substance to another. For example, lipase promote lipolysis, proteases - proteins, etc.;
immunozaschitnye. Of these proteins, antibodies, and many factors serum immunity;
receptor. As the name implies, this class of proteins is a member of various receptors, including those by which transmits nerve impulses;
motor. Because of the variety we are able to move in space. Best-known representatives of this group are the muscle proteins actin and myosin;
regulators. This class includes extensive group of hormones;
coagulation proteins and antisvertyvayuschey system (thrombin, prothrombin, fibrinogen, fibrin, etc.);
plastic. These proteins were mainly construction material, which provides a characteristic specific properties of the tissue. For example, collagen and elastin in our skin provides the necessary firmness and elasticity.
In other words, adequate intake of protein covers a significant proportion of the body's need for nutrients. Simultaneously, the protein is not an energetic material for the body. This combination of properties has led to the fact that the world learned of the existence of the so-called protein diet. Its effect is that in order to obtain additional quantities of energy are beginning to break down its own fat reserves. Protein diet - just ideal for those who do not feel in itself sufficient willpower and am not sure that will be able to withstand any other diet and not to "vent". After all, with the protein diet is not the feeling of hunger. The only requirement - that an adequate supply complete proteins with a sharp restriction of fats and carbohydrates (the complete exclusion of these nutrients can not say at least because almost all protein foods, they are still present). Therefore, the sweetness will have to forget. Just as on wheat bread, butter products, pasta, salt and spices. But meat, fish and eggs must enter the menu protein diet.

One of the possible schemes of the protein diet is as follows. The first breakfast consists of a cup of coffee with skim milk and no sugar. Additionally eat low-fat curds or yogurt. At the second breakfast drink a couple cups of mint green tea, can with some fruit (less sweetness in the fruit, the better). At lunch a small plate of soup, a bit of black bread, a light vegetable salad. At lunch one fruit or a light vegetable salad, drink low-fat yogurt. At dinner, two hundred grams of veal with a salad of cauliflower and some rye bread.

Because the protein diet provides a sufficient number of construction material, while it can take up their physical training. Besides strengthening the muscles they will support your skin in the desired tone.

Within two weeks of the protein diet (no longer recommended), there is a loss of three to seven kilograms. An additional advantage is the preservation of its metabolic rate, which makes it easier to keep the achieved effect. However, it should be prepared for that as a result of a shortfall of vitamins and mineral elements may be brittle hair and dry skin, and decreased performance. Do not use protein diet during nephrotic and digestive diseases, as well as old people.
