“The protein diet creates a significant energy deficit (less than 1,000 calories per day) while maintaining a high intake of complete proteins. This mechanism forces the body to draw on its fat reserves to produce energy, without breaking down muscle mass. Unlike conventional diets, weight loss comes specifically from body fat, which helps prevent the yo-yo effect afterward.”
“Ketosis is a metabolic state that begins about 72 hours after starting the diet, once the body's sugar reserves are depleted. The body then produces ketone bodies by burning body fat. These ketone bodies have two beneficial effects: they naturally reduce hunger and provide a sense of well-being, making the diet much easier to follow.”
“Carbohydrates stimulate the secretion of insulin, a hormone that promotes fat storage and prevents the body from using fat as an energy source. By reducing carbohydrates, insulin levels drop quickly, allowing the body to begin burning its fat reserves. This is the central physiological principle of the protein diet.”
“Yes. A high-protein breakfast can help prolong morning satiety and prevent cravings, while keeping calorie intake under control.”
