General characteristics of dietary table No. 8

Diet No. 8 satisfies a person’s physiological needs for nutrients and energy. The calorie content of the diet is moderately reduced by reducing the amount of simple carbohydrates and animal fats. The diet is enriched with dietary fiber and vegetable fats. Fluids are moderately limited. Food is prepared steamed or boiled without salt. Stewing and baking are acceptable. It is recommended to exclude or limit fried, mashed and chopped foods. Diet No. 8 provides for fractional meals 4–6 times a day.

Chemical composition and energy value of dietary table No. 8

Proteins: 70–80 g (including 40 g animal proteins). Fats: 60–70 g (including at least 25 g of vegetable fats). Carbohydrates: 130–150 g (simple carbohydrates excluded). Daily calorie content: 1,300 – 1,600 kcal. Free liquid: 1–1.5 l. Table salt: 3–5 g Vitamins: retinol (A) – 0.4 mg, riboflavin (B2) – 2.2 mg, thiamine (B1) – 1.1 mg, nicotinic acid (B3) – 17 mg, ascorbic acid acid (C) – 150 mg. Macroelements: sodium – 3 g, potassium – 3.9 g, calcium – 1 g, magnesium – 0.5 g, phosphorus – 1.6 g. Microelements: iron – 35 mg. Optimal food temperature: from 15 to 65 degrees Celsius.

Types of diet

Variants of diet No. 8 have been developed, which are used for severe obesity. In this case, caloric intake is limited even more.

Diet No. 8A - its energy value is on average 1250 kcal. This amount accounts for 80 grams of protein (vegetable and animal in a ratio of 20:70), 60 grams of fat (30% of which is vegetable protein) and 130 grams of carbohydrates. The restrictions concern mainly fats and carbohydrates; the amount of liquid drunk per day is reduced to 0.8-1 liters.

If obesity has reached degree 3-4, then medical diet 8 and 8A may no longer bring the desired effect. In this case, table No. 8o is assigned with caution. The energy value drops to 700 kcal, proteins – 40-50 g, fats – 35-40 g, carbohydrates – 50-70 grams. This diet is not prescribed for a long period due to the possible development of unpleasant consequences; it is used only for a short time (up to a month). It is advisable that the patient be under the supervision of a doctor in the hospital at this time.

Some experts recommend arranging fasting days during a diet: they consist of taking one or two foods during the day and are aimed at cleansing the body. A fasting day can be:

• apple (during the day you can eat up to 1.5 kg of apples), more details about the fasting day;
• cottage cheese (you can only eat low-fat cottage cheese up to 500 grams);
• watermelon (up to 1.5-2 kg of pulp);
• kefir (about one and a half liters of kefir per day), read in more detail about fasting days on kefir here.

Fasting days can be different; you can read about vegetable diets and days here.

If you need to prescribe therapeutic fasting, then you shouldn’t do it right away: it’s better to start with a gradual reduction in caloric intake. First, the patient follows diet No. 8, then 8A and then 8o. This approach will allow the body to adapt to the amount of food and calorie intake, otherwise an unpleasant condition called food depression may occur.

The purpose of a low-calorie diet is stress for the body. Therefore, you need to carefully monitor your health during this period, monitor your body weight daily and measure basic parameters - blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate.

If your health worsens due to the diet, disorders appear in various organs and systems of the body (cold intolerance, menstrual irregularities in women, arrhythmias, weakness, etc.), you need to gradually switch to a higher caloric intake.
