Is it possible to be vegetarian?
The metabolic diet is very meat-heavy and fish is also on the menu. Boiled eggs are also on the menu almost daily. This can make it very difficult for vegetarians and especially vegans to stick to the diet.
You can replace the products with vegetarian alternatives such as tofu, soy or other products. Pulses like lentils are also recommended. Low-carbohydrate protein powders can also be an alternative. In general, the nutritional values should be controlled, the products should correspond to the food in the original diet plan in protein content, fat content and calorie density.
Stabilization phase after the metabolic diet
The primary goal of the stabilization phase is to stabilize the achieved weight. This makes sense, since after an extreme diet there is often an unwanted increase when you return to your original diet. Within the scope of the stabilization phase, all foods from the dietary phase are allowed, and in addition, the forbidden foods should be slowly reintegrated.
Strict attention must be paid that no food is eaten above the daily consumption. With careful observation of the diet, the following increase can be prevented.
