Diet to lower high triglycerides. Here are the main type of fat carried by the agency, after eating, the body digests food fats and triglycerides in the body released and can be transported to provide energy or stored as fat. It is important to lose weight to lower triglyceride levels and lead a healthy diet as possible, low in carbohydrates, sugars, refined foods and saturated fats, like trans fats and animal and eliminating alcohol and snuff.

It is important to reduce the amount of carbohydrates consumed as bread, rice, potatoes, starchy vegetables, pasta, healthy diet and some pulses, it is preferable to opt for whole grains.

A high-protein diet for weight loss, such as the system Dukan (also called system beak) which is currently very popular, is dangerous “says Dr. Alain Golay has asked the journalist Marie-Christine Petit-Pierre for the newspaper Le Temps. Dr. Golay is medical director of the Education therapeutic for chronic diseases, diabetes and obesity, University Hospitals of Geneva.

The scheme, says it leads to a great hunger and a resumption of normal weight when food is gradually reintroduced.

Recall that the high-protein diet by Dr. Pierre Dukan method, which excludes carbohydrates or carbohydrates (starches, cereals, rice, pasta), consists of four phases: a relatively short attack phase where only the animal proteins are permitted, a cruise phase which are gradually added vegetables except starchy foods (potatoes, corn, peas, lentils, …) and finally a consolidation phase where carbohydrates are gradually reintroduced and a stabilization phase that is a return to normal diet with protein a day per week.

Some twenty years ago, said Dr. Golay, the high-protein diet had the support of hospitals, which is no longer the case, its deleterious effects have been shown by an abundant literature. He himself has tested the scheme in its practice. “Three groups followed six weeks of diet. The first with a balanced diet, the second separated, and the third protein diet. The weight loss was similar in all three categories. But those fed diets high protein were separated and taken over many more weight than the others later. ”

The high-protein diet allows the first phase without carbohydrates, not too hungry. But, he said, as soon as they are reintroduced, “the body screams with hunger. It “remembers that he was deprived of carbohydrates, and when he gets back, it stores all the better. And he’ll ask for more, for fear of missing”, which is gaining weight.

He advises those who have already started a fast-protein diet to reintroduce carbohydrates in moderate amounts. They will be very hungry at first, but the more they take their high-protein diet, the longer it will be difficult, “he said.

To lose weight, he advises the government “everybody knows”: half plate of vegetables, one quarter protein, one quarter of flour (potato, rice, pasta …), limiting fats sweets. “Nothing should be prohibited as it is a source of frustration.” This is not a diet, people need to achieve a balanced diet they can lose weight in normality. ”

20% of calories from the diet should come from protein (meat, fish, eggs, cheese) and 50% carbohydrates (from starchy, fruit, vegetables, dairy products), says he.

In weight loss diets typically what we tend to do is eat less and in some cases, we skip a meal, thinking this way thinned before. As a result we feel hungry, the main enemy of any diet, something that we need to control eating more times a day and that eventually will make it easier the way of the loss of these kilos do not want.

When we talk about eating more times a day to say that we have to eat the same, but spread over five meals. In no way should we eat more food, much less than recommended for your health. It is necessary that we avoid binge that slow and hinder our digestion worsening the assimilation of nutrients by the body. To achieve this it is necessary to avoid starvation delivering meals.

Starving is the worst thing we could do if we are looking to lose weight, and that hunger is a symptom that the body needs food to function. When you get to the food will tend to accumulate reserves for future occasions where we back hungry. Read the rest of this entry »
