The Kremlin diet is one of the most paradoxical diets of all times. The main point of the Kremlin diet is that it allows eating any quantity of meat but demands hard limitation of carbohydrates. In the table of the Kremlin diet every product has its own number of the SU (standard units) depending on the quantity of carbohydrates in this product.

There is the scientific explanation of the Kremlin diet phenomenon. When the quantity of carbohydrates as a source of energy is sharply cut down, the organism begins swift treatment of the accumulated fat stocks. That's why the Kremlin diet belongs to the category of the carbohydrate diets. The growing thin takes place when the food allowance is limited to 40 SU (standard units) a day, keeping weight - when there is 60 SU in the ration, gain in weight - when it's over 60 SU. When using the Kremlin diet under 40 SU it's possible to loose 15 pounds in 8 days.The simple plan of the carbohydrate Kremlin diet

Before starting any diet including the Kremlin diet it's good to discuss it with doctor, ask him for advice - you may have some contra-indications against this ration. Necessarily pass the blood test in order to know the content of sugar, cholesterol and triglyceride in your blood. In a few months pass the test again and compare the results. On no account become obsessed of growing thin and cut down the number of the points to minimum, because the organism needs to get everything required. Don't try to eat only low-cal products, combine them with high-cal but useful ones. Don't avoid all fruit and vegetables at all, otherwise you won't have enough vitamins.

However there are some contra-indications of the Kremlin diet. If you have some chronic disease, especially connected with heart, blood vessels or stomach it's necessary to discuss your new menu with your doctor. The Kremlin diet is not recommended to people with kidney diseases and pregnant woman.

The table of the Kremlin diet

According to the Kremlin diet you should avoid sweet, floury and potato dishes, bread, rice, fruit, juices and vegetables which contain lots of carbohydrates. Put sugar in no dish, because sugar is your enemy number one. On the other hand the Kremlin diet allows eating lots of meat and fish, because it's zero points. It means that you can eat 5 pounds of meat for breakfast. You can do it. But the best way is to know when to stop. We can say the same about alcohol drinks. It's few points for vodka, but don't forget that vodka provokes appetite. Eat to your heart's content. You are allowed to eat even after midnight. The most important thing is to feel comfortable. The main principle of the Kremlin diet is to eat as less as possible carbohydrates. Without this sweet source of energy organism will begin working on the accumulated fat stocks.
