K.m.n says Dr. Pavlov, endocrinologist Moscow State University Hospital, scientific director of the Clinic for Systems Medicine.
Often dieters themselves trim your diet, bringing the already unbalanced diet to complete irritation. And often in this scheme suffers from protein.
As a result, no matter how you try, you can not achieve the desired result.
Here are two examples from my practice.
So: male 44 years, obesity Article 1, with the predominant deposition of fat in the abdomen (abdominal form of obesity), metabolic syndrome, prediabetes.
For six months he had lost 20.5 kg, 12.4 kg of which is ventricular tachycardia (adipose tissue) (№1).
This is a very significant result.
And it changed his appearance, and of course, he began to feel quite differently, better.
But in addition to fat lost 7.1 kg AKM (active-cell mass) (№2) and 3.1 kg BW (muscle tissue).
Until October of physical activity, almost absent, and the loss of MT was significant - 3.3 kg.
Since October, the patient began to perform Kompeks exercise quite regularly, which made it possible to stop loss of MT (with active its blood supply and demand), even with the lack of protein in the diet.
And of course, I understand that in the winter drinking water harder than in summer. But no one bothers to drink warm or hot water, no tea, namely water, warming and replenishing fluid deficit. Add the lemon or aloe, and is not only useful but also delicious.
This patient is still too early to stop. Need to lose about 10 kg of adipose tissue. But seeing the admiring glances of friends and loved ones, the patient is easier to go to the desired result.
Another patient: 57 years old man, who had no obesity or body mass index, waist audio largest circumference (94 cm - the upper limit of normal), and only held bioimpedance analysis revealed the presence of 14 kg of extra fat tissue.
Later ultrasound confirmed this excess, especially in the liver - and this contributes to the development of adipose tissue of systemic inflammation, disruption of purine metabolism and, consequently, the development of gout, increased risk of developing pre-diabetes, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, hypertension, disruption of cholesterol metabolism and the risk of developing cancer diseases.
I must say that the patient is the owner of an iron character, great willpower, constantly engaged in physical activity and thought very well fed.
From October 2016 to September 2017, he lost 7.5 kg total weight. In this case, the fatty tissue decreased by 11.1 kg (№1). In this case, the active cell mass also increased by 0.7 kg (№2) and muscle tissue is increased by 3.7 kg of liquid was added in an amount of 2.6 kg (№3). Very good results.
It remains very little. We were not able to change only one thing, but this applies to other areas that maybe we'll discuss next time.
Against this background, the patient decided that changing the diet, that is, completely eliminating it from animal protein and especially meat, he will achieve more significant results.
As a result, we have received a positive result and a further weight reduction 9.8 kg, but the VT of them only 3 kg. The rest of the loss with a minus sign - minus 3.4 kg of active cell mass, minus 3.7 kg of muscle, minus 4.9 kg of liquid ...
Man has become a bad look, and feel does not matter. Instead of healing we have a breakdown.
I do not get tired of repeating that obesity is a disease and need to recover without loss. For this patient, and comes to a doctor for help, which is having the necessary knowledge, to help him get rid of the disease, without losing on the road to recovery and health.
"Dr. Google" contains a wealth of information, and many people think it's easy enough to read, to learn about what was the experience of other people and how they coped with their problems, what means used and what achieved.
But what will save one can kill another. And even the fundamentals of good nutrition, which in most cases involve an increase of the protein component and the reduction, as a rule, the amount of fat and carbohydrates (in any case do not exclude them from the food), can be changed in the case, when in front of you patient with severe renal failure or liver.
In the case of both of my patients, it can be stated that with their enormous diligence and almost full implementation of the recommendations, and they deliberately or unconsciously, It uses less than was necessary and recommended amount of protein, and animal and vegetable. The result was not long in coming.
After the last administration, and the detailed analysis and the achievements and failures, we talked again, that if you can not use a sufficient amount of protein in ordinary food (meat, poultry, fish, eggs, sour-milk products, legumes) can be replaced with one or two doses of a functional food nutrition (protein drinks) and snacks to consume protein bars. In my opinion this is a huge benefit because it is technically very simple, and it is very tasty, balanced and helpful. It is very important to be sure that your chosen functional food meets the requirements of safety and utility. I hope that in the following method, with adjustments to be impressive results in my patients.
I would be glad if this information was helpful, and you share it with your friends. All health, harmony and long life!
