Low Carb Diet

Low Carb Diet
Low Carb Diet
Montignac diet is recommended by heart-symptoms.blogspot.com. You will see that Montignac diet means a lifestyle rather than the actual dieting. We recommend buying nutritionist Montignac book and read it carefully.

Indeed, Montignac diet was and is challenged as it would encourage consumption of fat but if we follow entirely nutritionist advice we will not have any problems with cholesterol and other health problems. Heart-symptoms.blogspot.com also published articles on Montignac diet but readers have written to us that they would like more concrete advice in the book because often do not have time to carefully read the books of renowned nutritionist. Therefore back with another article but with concrete advice and printable Montignac diet. The question was one of the readers: "I could have a poster with clear dietary advice? I would put in my kitchen and I find him to know specifically what to eat. "I answered reader through this article and hopefully we will be and your help.

How do we keep Montignac diet?


Montignac diet is divided into two phases.
Phase I: Involves eating for a very low glycemic index of 35 or less. Phase I is a recommended way of Montignac to give up bad eating habits and adopting a healthy lifestyle.

It encouraged the consumption of fish or vegetable protein (people who have kidney problems should consult a doctor before for this type of diet might affect health).

Phase II: In this stage we need to keep everything I lost in the first round and try to eat food with a low glycemic index or average. And the second phase should become more of a lifestyle.

Montignac diet when we eat keep:


The menu allows two main options: either proteins and lipids or carbohydrates and fiber. Anyway, do not mix carbohydrates with anything! Lunch should be the main meal of the day.

At breakfast we eat: Either proteins and lipids: herbal tea, a boiled egg, lean ham, cheese diet, coffee. Whether carbohydrates and fiber fruits (apples, kiwi, cherries, others ...) or whole grains, whole wheat bread, rye with dietary jam, marmalade or jam without sugar, coffee.

Eat lunch: tomato soup; salad (Bulgarian) with cheese, lean ham or cooked eggs; omelet with mushrooms; fish; grilled chicken with bean pods. Recommended vegetables excluding potatoes and carrots. As many vegetables without restriction !! Optional snack almonds or walnuts. Lunch is recommended to be based proteins and lipids.

At dinner we eat: Either carbohydrates and fiber: vegetable soup; steamed vegetables; salads, fruit. Whether protein and fat: lean ham, yogurt, cottage cheese with 0% fat.

If I ate meat at lunch not eat dinner.

How to combine food?


A main idea the Montignac diet is based on how to combine foods. Thus, combine foods in Group A - meat (boiled or grilled), eggs, fish, low-fat cheese, or other dairy group B - vegetables. Never combine foods in Group A with Group C - cereals, potatoes, rice, pasta or corn. And they all combine with vegetables.

Conclusion: B group food (vegetables excluding potatoes) can be combined with anything else. Foods Group A and Group C should never be combined with each other!

Sugar is considered by Michel Montignac food dangerous and should be removed. Carbohydrates "bad" such as potatoes, rice, corn, refined pasta, pastries, sugary products, alcohol, fried foods or spend more time in the oven must be removed from the diet!
As the fruits, we can say that general recommendation, not only diet Montignac, it would be good to be eaten alone and on an empty stomach (at least half an hour before meals and at least two hours after eating).
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (lipids fish) and monounsaturated fatty acids (olive oil) are recommended for as many of your meals diet Another rule is that fruits and vegetables be eaten, if possible, in their natural state, to not be removed by heat-treating nutritional qualities.

Foods with a low glycemic index stabilizes the amount of insulin that is produced by the pancreas and metabolism is supported so that does not cause fat deposits. Montignac diet allows you to eat foods you like and can thus be followed even on holidays such as Easter or Christmas. In addition, you should not stand out when you go to the restaurant and ordered food will not "betray" that are on diet.
