If we tell you that there is a meat diet, you may be skeptical at first, but when you find out what it really means, you will certainly be delighted. Especially if you like food based on delicious meat, prepared in the oven, with spices and so on.
A protein or hypoglycemic diet is one of the methods by which you can actually lose body fat in a relatively short time. The explanation would be that the proteins are of a high quality - they are terribly filling. Think of foods that are high in protein, such as salmon or grilled chicken breast; after you have consumed them, it takes a long time until you get hungry again.
Unlike low-calories diets, the protein diet proposes a deviation from the typical calorie approach. Thus, the type of calories is considered, first of all, because the body reacts differently to the calories from proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. Specifically, one gram of protein will generate different reactions in the body compared to one gram of carbohydrates, although proteins and carbohydrates have the same caloric power of ~4kcal. The reason is the secretion of insulin, which increases greatly in the case of carbohydrates and much less in the case of protein. That's why you can really lose weight by eating as much as you like, as long as we are talking about protein.
Protein or hypoglycemic diet is not new. Some specialists even claim that primitive man had a predominantly protein diet until he discovered agriculture.
In the meat diet there will certainly be restrictions, but still it is good that you can eat what you like, as you will see immediately. You can eat either baked, boiled or grilled meat. You are also allowed to add spices, but not much salt.
Of course, we recommend that you do not eat large or excessive portions, and the meat you choose should be poultry, turkey, etc. And don't forget that baked fish can also be a delicious steak.
We all love a good steak and many of us would like to eat meat as often as possible. Of course this is not healthy, but for a week we want you to crave and lose weight. That is why we want you to know about this controversial weight loss regimen.

Obviously, be careful what you eat, in the sense that you should not overdo it. We will present you the diet for all the 7 days of the week. You can vary at will and, if you will be able to follow the regimen for 10 days or even 14, you can lose about 5-6 kilograms.
So it is worth the effort, isn't it? Let's see what it's all about!

Of course, when you follow the steak diet you will drink a lot of fluids, do sports and take great care of yourself. Don't forget not to overdo it and after 6 pm you will NOT eat anything (or 4 hours before bed!).
After you complete this diet, follow a detox diet with juices, for example. It will be necessary to successfully eliminate toxins.
If you want to try this diet, it is best to gradually reduce the amount of carbohydrates, to avoid any discomfort. If you do not feel well, increase the amount of carbohydrates consumed.
In conclusion, the fact that you can lose weight by eating meat so often is not a myth if we consider the protein diet.
