— All about proper nutrition — Diet for obesity, how to lose weight correctly
Obesity is one of the most pressing problems of the modern world. In some countries it has already reached epidemic proportions. In Russia, about 47% of men and 52% of women live with excess body weight. Excess weight is not just a defect in appearance. It can cause many physiological or psychological disorders. To get rid of fat deposits, you first need to change your eating habits.
What are the dangers of obesity
Obesity is due to the fact that the amount of food entering the body of a modern person significantly exceeds what is needed for energy production. As a result, the unspent residue is transformed into fat. The quality of the products consumed also matters. If the basis of the diet is made up of easily digestible carbohydrates, they will certainly be deposited in the form of unsightly folds.
Excess weight should not be perceived simply as a visual disadvantage. It is a risk factor for the development of many diseases. The more adipose tissue grows, the stronger its destructive effect on the body.
Attention: patients with excess body weight are three times more likely to suffer from diabetes mellitus, and twice as likely to suffer from pathologies of the liver and cardiovascular system, compared to people with normal weight.
Obesity is a systemic disease; it can affect the functioning of all internal organs.
Among the diseases that are caused by excess weight:
- hypertension;
- Alzheimer's disease;
- strokes;
- arthritis;
- male impotence;
- phlebeurysm;
- angina pectoris;
- pathologies of the respiratory system;
- depression;
- apnea (sudden stoppage of breathing during sleep);
- heart attack;
- gallbladder pathology;
- osteoarthritis;
- diseases of the digestive tract;
- atherosclerosis;
- menstrual irregularities.
It has been scientifically proven that obesity increases the likelihood of developing cancer of the breast, thyroid glands, colon, gallbladder, and kidneys. The most clearly visible connection is between excess weight and malignant neoplasms of the esophagus, as well as the endometrium. On average, body fat reduces a person's life expectancy by 12-15 years.
The situation is aggravated by the fact that obese people have impaired metabolism - this slows down the process of losing weight. But the situation is reversible. It is possible to “lose” even the heaviest weight. To do this, you first need to change your diet. The main mistake many people make is that they try to give up food completely. As a result, periods of fasting are replaced by breakdowns. The weight returns in even greater volumes, and health problems arise. A professional nutritionist should select a diet for an obese person.
Short-term and strict diets or long-term but balanced ones?
The choice of diet depends on what result you want to achieve. If the goal is to lose 2-3 kg in the shortest possible time, you should choose a strict diet with maximum restrictions. Such diets last for several days, during which you can lose up to 5 kg and achieve a flat stomach.
When nutrition is sharply limited, the body experiences severe stress, and this has an extremely negative impact on the condition and functioning of internal organs. For the first 1-2 days, to replenish energy costs, the body, without receiving energy from food, will digest the cells of the subcutaneous fat layer, due to which weight loss occurs.
But if a strict diet lasts for a long time, the body will retain subcutaneous fat in order to save energy for further work.
Diets recommended by nutritionists imply a balanced diet, which is followed for more than a week, depending on how much weight you need to lose.
The disadvantage of long-term diets is that you should not expect quick results from them; the weight will come off quite slowly. The likelihood that the lost weight will return again is practically absent, provided that the person changes his lifestyle and continues to eat properly. In addition, if you follow a long-term diet - about 3 months, you can lose weight not by 3-4 kg, but by 20 kg.
Warm water reduces appetite, drink a glass at the first feeling of hunger.
Basic principles of nutrition for obesity
The diet to treat obesity needs to be balanced. The body cannot be left without essential substances, amino acids, and vitamins. An incorrectly selected diet can cause serious endocrine disorders, disturbances in the functioning of the liver, heart and other organs.
The basic nutritional rules for normalizing weight are as follows:
- daily calorie content ranges from 1700 to 2000 kcal. It is calculated individually, taking into account the patient’s gender, age, height, build, and physical activity;
- limiting the consumption of foods containing fast carbohydrates and animal fats;
- filling the diet with fiber, which is low in calories, but fills the stomach for a long time, creating a feeling of fullness;
- The recommended protein intake per day for an adult with average physical activity is 0.75 g per 1 kg of weight;
- split meals make it easier to control the feeling of hunger. It is advisable to eat 5-6 times a day;
- the daily amount of salt should not exceed 5 g;
- exclusion of spices, herbs, smoked foods, pickles, spicy dishes that increase appetite;
- You should drink one and a half liters of water per day. Before each meal, you should slowly drink half a glass of liquid;
- Boil, bake or steam all dishes. Fried foods should be avoided;
- eat at the same time. Additional snacks are prohibited.
Attention: the norm is considered to be a monthly loss of 3 kg of weight due to fat. Faster weight loss is a lot of stress for the body!
A healthy diet for obesity must be combined with dosed physical activity. You need to start with 10 minutes of exercise, gradually increasing its duration and complexity of the exercises.
The listed rules must be observed especially strictly in the first month of treatment. Then the body adapts to the new diet and daily routine. The risk of breakdowns and a return to previous eating habits will decrease.
The best weight loss procedures at A Clinic
Non-surgical ultrasonic lipolysis Ulfit
The most powerful procedure today for eliminating pronounced local fat deposits and sculpting the figure is the ultrasonic lipolysis procedure from South Korea - Ulfit-therapy.
The effect will be noticeable immediately after the first procedure. Clothes that fit tightly will immediately appear one size larger. Further, the weight loss effect will increase. To speed up and increase the effect, you can do several procedures. With the help of Ulfit therapy you can lose weight by 4 SIZES!
The procedure is carried out using the Ulfit device, which is based on highly intense focused ultrasound HIFU. It penetrates deep into the tissue - 6-20 mm, heats them and destroys the cell membranes of the fat cell. Next, the breakdown of adipocytes (fat cells) occurs.
Destroyed elements of the fat cell enter the extracellular space and are removed by the body using the lymphatic system and immune cells. Destroyed adipocytes are absorbed and removed from the body within 4 weeks. Next, the active process of weight loss begins.
With the help of Ulfit therapy you can do:
- flat stomach,
- remove fat from sides
- get rid of the breeches zone,
- tighten the inner surfaces of the arms and legs,
- sharpen your knees.
It is important to note that Ulfit removes not only subcutaneous fat, but also fights internal fat deposits, which are especially harmful to our health! And Ulfit therapy perfectly tightens the skin. When tissues are heated by the device, not only does the fat cells rupture, but also the active process of production of new collagen by skin cells - fibroblasts - begins. After the procedure, the skin is noticeably tightened and smoothed. And the process will only increase over time. After losing those extra pounds, the skin will not sag unsightly, but will be smooth and toned.
It is also important to remember that Ulfit is a non-surgical and non-traumatic procedure. No suction, pumping, cannula or vacuum pump is required. All dissolved fats are removed from the body naturally through lymphatic channels.
Cellu Liposuction Programs
Ultrasonic Israeli liposuction Cellu Program is based on the use of two types of ultrasound, with high and low wave frequencies.
This procedure can also be used as an express method, reducing waist size by 4-8 cm and body weight by 5-7 kg in 3-4 sessions!
And as a longer-term weight correction therapy. The maximum effect is achieved by a course of 15 Cellu Program procedures. Body weight decreases by 20-25 kg, and waist size - by 12-20 cm.
High-frequency ultrasonic waves freely penetrate to a depth of 8-9 cm and dissolve abdominal (internal) fat. After this, it is eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system. This process is called visceral lipolysis. During a course of procedures, you can eliminate 2-3 kilograms of internal fat.
Low frequency ultrasonic waves are also used at the same time. They penetrate the surface layer to a depth of 3 cm and dissolve subcutaneous fat deposits. In this case, Cellu Program works like classic ultrasonic liposuction.
Cleansing internal organs of fat load improves their functioning, prevents the development of many diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system and kidneys. The action of high-frequency ultrasonic waves improves the functioning of the endocrine and nervous systems, harmonizes neuro-endocrine regulation. This gives the effect of general health improvement.
Ultrasonic liposuction procedures do not leave any marks and do not require incisions or punctures of the skin.
Myostimulation Izoja
Izojay is an innovative Italian technology based on physiotherapy.
This is a course procedure. To achieve maximum effect, an average of 8 procedures will be required, carried out three times a week.
The VIP Line Isogei device works muscles in two modes. One corresponds to aerobic exercise, the second to anaerobic exercise. The former burn fat deposits, the latter strengthen and build muscle tissue.
Thanks to strengthening and increasing muscle tone, the chest rises, clear, harmonious contours of the buttocks, hips, and waist are formed. As a result of active lipolysis, fat deposits are burned. The stomach “goes away”, it becomes flat and toned. The skin as a whole becomes more elastic, firm, and youthful.
The effect of myostimulation procedures is persistent and lasts for a long time. This is not just skin improvement and figure correction. Working out the muscles improves blood circulation, which means the inflow and outflow of arterial and venous blood. Muscles play a big role in the overall health of the body. Improving their tone with the help of Isoja has a rejuvenating effect on the entire body.
Endosphere therapy
Exclusive Italian technology that perfectly fights cellulite and removes excess fluid from the body.
She has been working at A Clinic for a long time and is very popular.
The optimal result is achieved after completing 6-8 procedures. During this time, the “orange peel” effect will disappear, the skin will become smooth, and swelling will go away.
The system is based on compression microvibration technology, which is achieved using a special handpiece consisting of 60 microspheres (rollers) made of natural silicone. Rotating, they exert pressure on compacted areas of the skin (muscles, fatty tissue). The therapy acts as “pulsating compressions”: the fat deposits are under pressure. And, becoming weakened, they are destroyed! Thanks to the alternation of compression and pressure, the effect of vascular gymnastics occurs, which improves blood circulation and lymph flow. This provides lymphatic drainage to the tissue. Excess liquid begins to leave them. The effect of swelling disappears, the person begins to feel lightness throughout the body.
The skin becomes smoother and more elastic even after one procedure. The latter is especially important during sudden weight loss, for example, after childbirth, when you need to quickly get into shape. And after the course of treatment, cellulite will disappear, and body volumes will immediately decrease by 2 sizes. If you follow a healthy lifestyle, the extra pounds and “orange peel” will never return.
Hydromassage
Massages and wraps can be used both as primary and additional procedures in a weight correction complex.
Underwater hydromassage is truly a sea of joy and positivity! During a course of hydromassage you can lose 5 or more kilograms of excess weight. In addition, the appearance of cellulite decreases, the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more elastic.
Water is supplied to special baths or pools under pressure from 1.5 to 4 atmospheres. The effect of healing and rejuvenation of the body is achieved by changing the pressure, temperature of the water, and the angle of incidence of its flow.
Warm water dilates blood vessels, lowers blood pressure, accelerates blood circulation, and increases the flow of oxygen and endorphins (“joy hormones”) into tired muscles. After immersing yourself in the bath, an incomparable feeling of comfort, lightness, and bliss appears.
The hydromassage itself can be automatic when a stream or streams of water begin to flow from the bathroom. A powerful stream of water under pressure deeply treats every millimeter of the body. Or manual. It is performed by a massage therapist. Using a special technique, he massages the patient's body up and down along the back, legs, abdomen, and neck. Particular attention is paid to the so-called problem areas: buttocks, abdomen, back, riding breeches, legs, arms.
Hydromassage activates all metabolic processes. The circulation of lymph—a special fluid in the body that is responsible for cleansing it of waste, toxins, destroyed and diseased cells—increases. Typically, lymph circulates through the body a couple of times a day, but if you disperse it, it will better begin to cleanse the body.
After an underwater massage, the optimal balance of water in the tissues is restored and swelling goes away. Adipose tissue is broken down and removed, pores open, and subcutaneous waste is removed. Nutrients and oxygen saturate skin cells. Mineral balance is restored.
Normal blood circulation helps moisturize the skin, improves its texture. It becomes unusually smooth, soft, elastic, firm, and silky. Increases muscle tone. Fat deposits are reduced and leveled - a beautiful, chiseled figure is formed.
Vacuum massage
Vacuum body massage improves and strengthens its contours. The optimal course is 10-15 procedures performed every other day.
The procedure is highly effective in the treatment of cellulite, which is a change in the structure of subcutaneous fat tissue. To get rid of this problem, it is important to remove excess intercellular fluid. Vacuum does a great job of this.
Vacuum massage is also used for weight loss in comprehensive weight loss programs. The effect is achieved by improving blood circulation, lymph flow, stimulating the process of burning fat and accelerating the removal of its breakdown products from the body. Mechanical action on the skin, combined with good blood circulation, provides skin tightening and avoids sagging, which is an inevitable consequence of rapid weight loss.
Massage procedures using vacuum help strengthen connective tissue and quickly restore muscle fibers after intense training. Symptoms such as muscle tension, fatigue, and lethargy are eliminated.
After a course of vacuum massage, the metabolism accelerates approximately 4 times, and the achieved result lasts for a long time.
Problem areas should be treated every other day. It is recommended to alternate the procedure with salt or herbal baths, visiting a bathhouse, or a sauna. Under the influence of high temperatures, pores open, waste and toxins from the body will leave even faster.
The most effective wraps
Already after the first wrap procedure, a powerful lifting effect is felt, when stagnation - swelling, spasms - begins to go away, and the skin begins to even out and moisturize. The body feels light. To achieve more pronounced and lasting results, it is recommended to do from 6 to 15 procedures. Specific recommendations depend on the type of wrap, the individual characteristics of the body, and the age of the patient.
Algae.
They carry the power and benefits of seaweed, eliminating cellulite, increasing immunity, saturating the skin with minerals and vitamins. Today, algae body wraps with sea water are most common, since it has been proven that the chemical composition of sea water and algae is almost identical to the composition of human blood plasma. This means that the active components contained in them are absorbed by the body almost 100%.
Algae increase blood supply to the skin and subcutaneous fat, drainage of lymph and toxic substances, and increase skin tone.
Mud.
Normalize the activity of the nervous system, restore blood circulation, metabolism in the skin, saturate it with minerals. They are carried out using mud from the shores of the Dead Sea. They contain an almost complete complex of minerals, beneficial microflora, and basic biologically active substances. After the procedure, the skin pores are cleansed and the immune system is strengthened. Mud also promotes deep drainage of lymph and the treatment of cellulite.
Oily.
Oil wraps promote rapid delivery of essential oil nutrients deep into the skin. For the procedure, natural plant mixtures (mixes) of oils rich in vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and iodine are used. Due to the high content of bioactive substances during the procedure, toxins are removed, blood vessels are cleansed, fat deposits are broken down, blood circulation and skin elasticity are restored. Thanks to this, extra pounds begin to fall off and the “orange peel” begins to smooth out.
Chocolate.
Cocoa fruits contain substances with tightening and restorative properties. It is a source of mineral salts, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, and proteins. Flavonoids, which perfectly strengthen blood vessels, restore blood circulation, which is especially valuable in the complex treatment of cellulite. As a result of chocolate wraps, weight is also corrected. Caffeine significantly speeds up metabolism. Chocolate sessions perfectly relieve stress, give a surge of strength, and lift your spirits.
There are hot and cold wraps.
Hot wraps help break down adipose tissue, reduce volume, and activate metabolic processes in the subcutaneous tissue prone to cellulite. After a course of procedures, vascular tone increases, blood supply improves, and excess fluid is removed. They are recommended for use in areas of local fat deposits (thighs, buttocks, abdomen).
Cold wraps are used for swelling, heaviness in the legs, increased sagging skin, and varicose veins. They increase skin tone, strengthen tissue, improve lymphatic drainage, and remove toxins and waste from cellulite tissue. During the procedure, capillaries and blood vessels narrow, detoxification occurs in the liver and kidneys, and the walls of blood vessels are strengthened. If the patient has various problems, hot and cold treatments can be combined. For example, in areas with excess fat and cellulite, use hot anti-cellulite wraps, and cold ones to improve skin tone in sagging areas.

Alternative diets
There are many options for low-carb diets. Not too strict diets include the exclusion of so-called fast carbohydrates. The principle of creating a diet is similar to the “table No. 8” described above. Such restrictions are really useful. They allow the body to receive all the necessary substances and burn stored fat reserves.
Another type of low-carb diet is strict. They exclude almost all products containing these substances. For example, the basis of a protein diet is proteins. They account for up to 80% of the daily diet. Such food quickly saturates, takes a long time to digest, relieving a person of hunger. In addition, the processing of plant and animal proteins requires a lot of energy - this takes up to half of the calories consumed.
Such diets are effective, but must be combined with serious physical activity. Otherwise, proteins that are not needed for muscle mass form nitrogenous compounds that are excreted through the kidneys. The load on the organs increases, creating the preconditions for the development of urolithiasis.
Lack of carbohydrates negatively affects the condition of bones, skin, and hair. From these chemical compounds, the body produces glucose, the main nutrient for the brain. Experiencing a lack of energy, the body begins to use not only subcutaneous fat, but also muscle tissue for its production.
The popular keto diet, which involves a complete abstinence from carbohydrates, is not advisable for beginners. It is allowed to consume only fats, proteins of plant and animal origin. The purpose of such nutrition is to introduce a person into a state of ketosis. This is a type of metabolism in which the body uses ketone bodies (subcutaneous fat derivatives) instead of glucose. The diet is also harmful because, along with carbohydrates, a person stops consuming fiber, vitamins, and microelements contained in the excluded products.
It is possible to lose weight on such a diet, but doing this through complex physiological changes is undesirable. The diet was originally developed for patients with epilepsy, as a link was established between ketosis and a decrease in the frequency of seizures. The keto diet is not recommended for weight loss, but solely as a therapeutic diet.
In any case, before going on this diet, it is better to consult with your doctor. Not everyone can impose restrictions on their diet.
Quitting the diet
Many people who lose weight complain that just a week after the weight loss exercise, the lost weight returns. This can be avoided if you follow the rules for exiting the diet. Here are the main ones:
- Try not to have a gastronomic breakdown for several days after your weight loss program.
- Eat small meals. This will not be too difficult, because during the diet your stomach has become accustomed to small amounts of food.
- Follow the drinking regime - drink up to 8 glasses of water.
- Include fruits and vegetables in your diet.
- Add protein foods: eggs, meat and/or fish (steamed, baked, boiled), dairy products (kefir, cottage cheese, cheese).
- Avoid fatty and fried foods, as well as fast food and carbonated drinks.
For whom diets are contraindicated?
For many diseases, as well as during certain periods of human development, strict diets are contraindicated.
First of all, you cannot adhere to a low-calorie and restrictive diet in childhood. The basis of metabolism is laid during intensive growth. Lack of nutrients can cause underdevelopment of the skeleton and internal organs, and cause chronic diseases.
In adolescents, a lack of fats and carbohydrates provokes improper synthesis of sex hormones. In adulthood, this can cause an unstable menstrual cycle and reproductive dysfunction.
During menopause, most women gain weight. This is due to the fact that hormonal imbalance affects all processes in the body, including fat metabolism. Strict diets during menopause are not only harmful, but also useless. You can stop weight fluctuations only by taking estrogen medications recommended by your gynecologist.
Limited nutrition for pregnant and lactating women is strictly prohibited. Lack of nutrients during pregnancy can negatively affect the course of pregnancy. Also, malnutrition often leads to the birth of a weakened child with neurological, immune problems, and developmental delays.
In nursing mothers, weight usually returns to normal on its own within a year, since accumulated reserves are “used up” by the body to produce milk with a reasonable, balanced diet. Dietary restrictions can provoke hormonal imbalance and even greater weight gain.
There are certain diets for patients with certain chronic diseases. Among the pathologies:
- gastritis;
- heart diseases;
- ulcer;
- intestinal diseases;
- disorders of the kidneys;
- pathologies of the liver and gall bladder;
- pancreatitis.
People with diabetes and thyroid dysfunction cannot independently experiment with nutrition. In these cases, weight correction takes place under the strict supervision of the attending physician, who selects a suitable therapeutic diet for the patient.
Diet price
The diet is very simple, consists of affordable products: you will not have any difficulty finding buckwheat, rice, fermented milk drinks, cucumbers, tomatoes, broccoli, white cabbage, chicken fillet and tea. Sea fish can be a special expense item. But don’t skimp on it; choose fresh or chilled dorado fish, cod, mullet, etc. – make it the highlight of your nutrition program. The price of your diet for a week will increase by 50-100 rubles, but the result will be more noticeable due to clean and toned skin and a good mood.
On average, one day of diet will cost you 70-120 rubles, so for 20 days of this special weight loss technique you will have to spend at least 1500-2000 rubles.
How to lose weight without dieting
In most cases, in order to lose weight, it is not necessary to force the body with strict restrictions. It is enough to minimize the consumption of fast foods, processed foods, cream cakes and other unhealthy foods.
Following a few simple rules will help you achieve your ideal figure:
- drink enough clean water. This will not only provide the cells with the necessary amount of moisture, but will also help reduce appetite;
- Exercise will help speed up your metabolism. It is enough to spend 10-15 minutes a day on exercises;
- eat often, in small portions. Do not eat while reading or watching TV. This way you can get distracted and eat much more than you need;
- spend more time in the fresh air, breathe deeper. This way the tissues are saturated with oxygen, metabolic processes proceed faster;
- get a good night's sleep;
- do not finish eating “by force.” It’s good to take short breaks while eating; if you feel full, then you have enough food.
Between lunch and dinner, you can suck on a couple of slices of dark chocolate with a high cocoa butter content (at least 70%). You can replace it with several dried fruits; they must be chewed slowly. Thanks to this, the brain receives a signal that there is sufficient glucose supply, and appetite decreases.
Obesity is not just a harmless cosmetic defect. This is a dangerous pathology that can cause disability and premature death of the patient. It is necessary to normalize weight, but a thoughtless desire for an ideal figure can cause no less harm to a person’s health than fat deposits. You need to lose weight correctly, under the supervision of a qualified nutritionist.
Reviews and results of losing weight
Irina, 29 years old
For the summer season I decided to get in shape and lose weight. I read a bunch of forums, reviews about ideal diets and settled on Japanese. Time flew by quickly, I never felt hungry. But the main advantage of the system is, of course, its efficiency! In 2 weeks I lost 6.5 kg.
Olga, 25 years old
In the past, I went in for sports and was sure that extra pounds after pregnancy would not threaten me, but, as they say, don’t promise. After the birth of my daughter, I gained 10 kg. Naturally, strict mono-diets were not suitable, so I decided to practice proper nutrition. PP is my ideal diet. The first plumb line was noticed by the end of the first week, I decided not to stop there and since then PP has become a way of my life. I am completely satisfied with my current form, and I was allowed to return to training.
Dmitry, 30 years old
After the wedding, like most married men, my belly began to grow, despite the fact that I lead a fairly active lifestyle. I went to the gym, but the trainer said that without revising my diet, the weight would be reluctant to come off and suggested that I go on a protein diet for a couple of weeks. In 2 weeks I lost 4 kg, and then I started eating right. Now not only my wife admires my abs, but also all the girls on the beach.
