The pallet reaches from chamfering cures and form parliamentary allowance over short term Crashdiäten up to the everyday life-suited, nourish-adapted parliamentary allowance on long-term effect sets.

Diet plan
With the large number of diets and nutritional concepts circulating in guidebooks and on the Internet, it is difficult to make binding statements on the creation of a diet plan that meets all the user’s requirements. The specialist area of the Di?tetik is concerned with different nourishing ways, which are mostly favorable to the acceptance of the body weight or the treatment of certain illnesses. Just as variously as the areas, on which a Di?t comes to the application, is the selection of Di?tpläne.
These are prescribed, for example, as part of the treatment of various metabolic diseases or as a complementary therapy for surgical interventions. In German usage, diet is usually understood as the creation of a diet plan for weight reduction. Pre-determined plans can help to implement a dietary concept even in the usually stressful everyday life.
In this section we will go into more detail about the so-called reduction diet, which is used to reduce body weight. Before drawing up a diet plan, it should be noted that the consensus of the German Society for Nutritional Medicine and the German Society for Nutrition is that reduction diets should only be carried out over a short period of time. Furthermore a reduction diet is only meaningful if a durable nourishing and life conversion take place.
Otherwise the well-known yo-yo effect threatens, according to which it comes after the weight loss of a Di?t with resumption of the old nourishing habits to the renewed weight increase. The following section is intended to provide assistance in drawing up a diet plan for a week as part of a reduction diet. In a reduction diet, the amount of energy consumed should be 500-800kcal less than the actual daily requirement.
This results in roughly calculated 1500 kcal/day for women and 1700 kcal/day for men. There are many programs available on the Internet that allow you to calculate the calorie requirement depending on body weight, height and daily activity. The energy content of food can usually be found on the packaging.
Eat three meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and avoid frequent snacks. dietBreakfast should not exceed 450 kcal. For example, take a slice of pumpernickel or alternatively a wholemeal roll with a tablespoon of cheese spread and a tomato or cucumber.
A slice of boiled ham or a slice of cheese are also suitable as toppings. The fruity version of a calorie-reduced breakfast consists of 125 mg low-fat yogurt, a handful of unsweetened muesli with and a banana or an apple. The daily lunch should include about 500 kcal.
Eat salad and raw vegetables as you like. For the meat side dish, use steamed, low-fat meat, such as turkey or fish. If possible, only eat one meat dish per week.
Reduce carbohydrates such as potatoes, pasta or white bread or replace them with alternatives such as sweet potatoes or wholemeal pasta. Rice can also be used as a suitable side dish. Low-fat curd cheese can be eaten seasoned as a dip with raw vegetables.
Even dinner should only contain about 500 kcal as a main meal. Reduce the amount of calories and carbohydrates ingested, especially in the evening. Prepare salads from raw vegetables and supplement them with lean turkey or beef or a boiled egg if necessary. A vegetable pan with rice is a good meat-free alternative.To make the weekly diet plan as varied as possible, there are countless suitable recipes on the Internet and in the relevant literature, most of which even include calorie and nutrient information.
