2 days to melt your belly –

If you can’t rid the area of ​​that stubborn fat that hides the result of your abs, it’s worth risking a more radical diet for two days. Repeat: only for two days!

During this period, the proposal is to cut almost all carbohydrates from the menu and eat only protein and fat, a lot of fat. Before thinking that this is crazy, making you fat instead of drying the last belly nieces, understand what happens in the organism. Despite being caloric, fat has a very low glycemic index. Unlike carbohydrates, it does not alter the production of insulin at all (a hormone linked to fat storage, especially in the abdomen) and stimulates the action of glucagon (a hormone responsible for mobilizing and releasing stored fat). “

These hormonal changes give the body the jolt it needs to overcome its natural resistance to change (state of homeostasis) and, finally, burn away those persistent wrinkles”, explains nutrition consultant Alfredo Galebe, from São Paulo, who came up with this diet.

The proposal is tempting and it really works. But don’t forget the deal: no stretching the two days. After 48 hours, in addition to the stimulus of this diet losing strength, you start to feel weak from the lack of carbohydrates. Another important rule: give preference to proteins and fats considered good, such as chicken and especially fish (it has the extra advantage of omega 3, which protects the heart), and also olive oil, olives, almonds and avocado (sources of fat ). These are suggestions, by the way, that deserve to be adopted forever — in addition to being healthy, they can prevent you from fighting with your belly again.

Nutritionist tip:

At supper, avocado must be ingested alone and does not count as a block.

maintenance menu

Once the two days of the dry belly diet are over, go back to eating carbohydrates at every meal. But always respecting the following measures: 9 grams of carbohydrate (1 C) for 7 grams of protein (1 P) and 1.5 grams of fat (1 G).

Together, and in these proportions, the three nutrients (1 C + 1 P + 1 G) form a block. To prevent your body from replenishing stores, consume the equivalent of nine blocks a day, as per the menu below.

Stick to this maintenance diet for at least five days. If you want to stick with this regimen forever (it gives you all the nutrients your body needs), increase a block or two and skip the avocado at supper. Ingested before going to bed, the fat in this fruit increases the action of GH (growth hormone), which also helps to melt belly stores. But after a week, that stimulus wears off.
