Osama Hamdiy's diet
Initially, the diet of Osama Hamdiy was developed for patients with diabetes mellitus in need of significant weight loss, its author is a professor, doctor of medicine, a well-known nutritionist in the United States.
The diet refers to protein, it is also called egg (eggs - the main product of the diet) or chemical (it works by changing the chemical processes in the body). Losing weight is not due to a decrease in the calorie content of the diet, but due to an increase in the proportion of protein in the diet while reducing the proportion of carbohydrates. Usually, the body receives the bulk of its energy from carbohydrates. In the case of their deficiency, he is forced to obtain energy from fat, which leads to the consumption of accumulated fat deposits.
There are references to Osama Hamdiy's cottage cheese diet, which is identical to the egg diet, only cottage cheese is used instead of eggs. This diet is recommended for those who cannot tolerate eggs. However, unlike the egg diet in question, Osama Hamdiy's authorship of the curd diet has not been confirmed.
When dieting Osama Hamdiy, it is important to observe the following rules:
- if the menu does not indicate the exact amount of food, you can eat until satiety, but you cannot overeat;
- vegetables are cooked without adding salt and oil;
- you should drink about 2 liters of pure non-carbonated water per day;
- it is forbidden to change the time of meals, the number and composition of dishes that are indicated in the menu, add to the diet or remove products from it;
- the intervals between the main meals should be at least two hours, you need to have dinner no later than two hours before bedtime;
- with a strong feeling of hunger, you can eat a few tomatoes or cucumbers, but not earlier than two hours after the previous meal;
- if for any reason it was necessary to interrupt the diet, it is not continued, but started again, from the first day.
It is recommended that you monitor your weight loss by weighing yourself daily after your morning toilet. For this, it is better to use electronic scales, they are more accurate.
