Natural dietary diets for weight loss: what is the benefit

Section 1: Understanding of biologically active additives (dietary supplements) and weight loss

  1. Definition and classification of dietary supplements:

    • Biologically active additives (dietary supplements) are concentrates of natural or identical to natural biologically active substances, designed for direct intake or introduction into food products in order to enrich the ration with individual food or biologically active substances and their complexes.
    • Bades are not drugs and are not intended for the treatment of diseases. They are aimed at maintaining health, preventing deficits and improving the functional state of the body.
    • The classification of dietary supplements is based on their composition and functional action:
      • Nutricotics: replenish the deficiency of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other necessary substances.
      • Parafarmetzetics: have a mild pharmacological effect and are used for prevention and auxiliary therapy.
      • Probiotics and prebiotics: support a healthy intestinal microflora.
    • IMPORTANT: DOURT regulation in different countries may vary. In Russia, dietary supplements are subject to state registration and control by Rospotrebnadzor.

    • Weight reduction should occur gradually and safely, on average 0.5-1 kg per week. More rapid weight loss can be associated with the loss of muscle mass and water, not fat, and often leads to the Yo-Yo effect.

      • A sufficient amount of protein (1.2-1.5 g per kg of body weight) to maintain muscle mass.
      • Complex carbohydrates (vegetables, fruits, whole grain products) for energy and feeling of satiety.
      • Useful fats (avocados, nuts, olive oil) for hormonal balance and heart health.
      • Limiting simple carbohydrates (sweet, pastries, treated foods) and saturated fats (fatty meat, fast food).

      • A combination of aerobic exercises (running, swimming, walking) and strength training (lifting weights, exercises with its own weight) is recommended.
      • Aerobic exercises help burn calories and improve the cardiovascular system.
      • Power training helps to increase muscle mass, which increases metabolism and helps to burn fat even at rest.
    • Lack of sleep and stress can negatively affect weight. It is recommended 7-8 hours of sleep per day and stress control using meditation, yoga or other relaxation methods.
  3. The role of dietary supplements in the process of losing weight:

    • Bad can be a useful addition to a balanced diet and physical exercises, but are not a replacement for a healthy lifestyle.
    • They can help:
      • Reduce appetite and hunger.
      • Accelerate metabolism and fat burning.
      • Improve digestion and assimilation of nutrients.
