The content of the article
The diet is based on an understanding of the chemical reactions of the body, and is also designed to consume a large number of eggs, for which it is called “chemical” or “egg”. And because of the abundance of citruses on the menu, it is considered "orange."
The body creates conditions under which it begins to receive energy from its own fat reserves, and not from food. That is why the chemical diet of Osama Hamdy is suitable primarily for people who have a lot of these reserves. If you need to lose three kilograms, it is better to pay attention to other methods.
Pros of the technique
The main principle of the diet: reduce the amount of carbohydrates in the diet (especially simple ones) and increase the amount of protein. This means that if you add physical activity to the adjusted nutrition, the figure will not look skinny, and the skin saggy: “building material” is enough to build a beautiful muscle relief.
In addition, you do not need to independently calculate the BJU and calories. The power scheme is clearly painted and eliminates self-will: it is forbidden to replace one product with another or change the order of their intake.
The method is equally effective for men and women. In addition, in a month the body will break the habit of sweets and other excesses, and the result of weight loss is preserved for a long time.
Cons and contraindications
There are also disadvantages to the methodology. Some of them are traditional for a low-carb and high-protein diet.
- Weakness and irritability. These are the usual companions of losing weight, excluding fats and sugar from their menu.
- Breakfast monotony. For some, this can be a problem, but you cannot make your own adjustments to this item.
- The absence of a "break". If you don’t hold back on one day and treat yourself to a prohibited product or confuse the menu of the day, you will have to start the whole scheme from the very beginning.
A chemical diet is contraindicated in the following situations:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- chronic diseases and during exacerbation;
- problems with the heart, kidneys, liver, gastrointestinal tract;
- hormonal disbalance;
- oncological diseases;
- childhood;
- egg allergy and citrus or protein intolerance.
Before an egg diet, you should consult a doctor.
