It is used in the treatment of diseases of the liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, diabetes, cardiovascular pathologies, it is prescribed for colds and skin diseases, during the rehabilitation period after operations. This type of gentle diet has a huge number of advantages:

2. The diet menu is varied, products are available.

6. Slow weight loss ensures stability of the result - a sharp increase in body weight after the termination of adherence to the dietary regime is excluded.

The disadvantages of the diet include some difficulty in organizing food. Food cooked in a double boiler will have to be brought to work or to the institute in pots, besides, not everyone succeeds in quickly weaning from fried foods. And the minus, usual for "long-playing" diets: it will not be possible to lose weight very quickly with the help of this technique.

Principles and rules

Losing weight is provided due to a calorie deficit: the amount consumed in the process of life prevails over the amount supplied with food. To get the missing calories, the body is forced to burn fat stores. Weight loss occurs with a gentle load on the digestive system; dietary restrictions apply only to fats and simple carbohydrates.

Catering

1. The diet is based on boiled, stewed, baked dishes, it is allowed to add a small amount of vegetable or butter to them. Frying is excluded.
2. Food should be taken 5-6 times a day. Servings for three daily meals should be about 250-300 g each, snacks and dinner - 150-200 g each.
3. You need to have dinner no later than 2 hours before going to bed so that the food has time to be digested.
4. Protein meat and fish should not be combined with carbohydrate cereals, the break between their use should be about 4 hours.
5. It is advisable to cook cereals without salt, it can be replaced with soy sauce, it is also allowed to add greens, fruit or vegetable gravies, vanilla, cinnamon to cereals.
6. If you find it difficult to do without sweets, include fruits baked with honey or stevia in the menu. Sweet is best consumed in the morning.
7. The average energy value of the daily diet should be from 1700 to 2200 kcal, it depends on your body weight. You can calculate the amount of energy that the body receives when assimilating food using the tables of calorie content of foods.

It is recommended to eat food warm or cool (first and second courses warmed up to 40 - 50 °, drinks - at room temperature). This requirement is explained by the fact that chilled food slows down digestion, while hot food irritates the stomach lining.

Drinking regime

Water is vital for the normal functioning of the body, and doubly during the period of weight loss. With a lack of it, food takes longer to digest, and fat is not burned as efficiently. In addition, water drunk before meals reduces appetite. The total amount of liquid, including soups, should be 2-3 liters per day, at the rate of 30 ml per 1 kg of body weight.

While observing the dietary regimen, half an hour before meals, it is recommended to drink 150-200 ml of pure non-carbonated water. During a meal or immediately after it, no liquid should be consumed. Even if it is a dessert - jelly or compote, it is better to drink it half an hour after you have eaten.

Allowed and Prohibited Products

The diet is based on protein and carbohydrate foods:

• cereals;
• pasta, biscuit biscuits, dry biscuit;
• bread (preferably rye or white coarse grain);
• lean meat, dairy sausages, fish;

During an exacerbation of pancreatitis, anacid gastritis, peptic ulcer, it is better to drink teas from mint leaves, lemon balm, currants or raspberries.

Features of cooking

Since the temperature during steaming does not exceed 100 °, the products retain their natural color and taste, and vitamins are almost not destroyed in them. However, despite the seeming simplicity of the technology, the "steam kitchen" has its own characteristics that should be reckoned with.

1. Only environmentally friendly products are allowed to be used - during steam processing, pesticides, nitrates and additives to accelerate growth do not disappear anywhere.
2. Vegetables should not be overripe so that they do not lose their shape during cooking.
3. It is better to cut vegetables or meat into pieces of the same size, so they will be ready at the same time.
4. It is not recommended to stack too many layers of food as this will lengthen the cooking time.
5. If you cook several dishes at the same time, it is better to put the meat on the lower tier of the steamer (it will get a hotter steam), place vegetables on the upper tier.
6. The mode and cooking time indicated in the recipe should be observed, so as not to get biologically inert, low-appetizing porridge instead of a healthy and tasty dish. So, the cooking time for root vegetables is about 30 minutes, green vegetables - up to 5. Beef and pork are cooked for 1.5 hours, poultry and rabbit meat - about 45 minutes, fish - 15–20.
7. It is not recommended to cook pasta in a double boiler - they boil and stick together.

Menu

The proposed menu for the week is indicative. You can make it yourself, using your own recipes, but taking into account the requirements of the steamed diet regarding the separate use of proteins and carbohydrates. Dishes in which protein and carbohydrate foods are combined (for example, pepper stuffed with meat), it is advisable not to cook often.

I did not believe that you can lose weight after giving birth to twins and gaining more than 30 kilograms. It was difficult to force myself to eat right. Reviewing old photos, I more and more wanted to regain my slim figure. One day I decided to start taking care of myself. The combination of fitness and steaming diet helped me achieve the desired results. However, I had to spend more than 2 months on this.
