It is a simple way to adapt a type of diet to each individual according to their physical texture and eating habits.
You have until you find the exact point in adjusting the number of carbohydrates that the individual should consume. This diet accelerates metabolism, eliminates fat deposits, and has no rebound effect.
The purpose of the metabolic diet is that in the prescribed period, you can lose weight by increasing the metabolic process.
The time that lasts the diet should not be practiced extreme activities or exercise in excess and not be done for longer than recommended.
In addition, this metabolic diet can only be reused after two years.
Start
It is essential to consider the weight and height and the measurements of the waist, hips, and the width of legs and arms to measure progress.
Formula to calculate the metabolic rate
To calculate the metabolic rate, the following formula is used:
- IM = (102980,301 × weight in kg ÷ height in cms²) ÷ percentage of fat.
Types of Metabolism
There are two types of metabolisms:
- Anabolism: This type of metabolism occurs when the body consumes more energy than it needs, causing a feeling of hunger during the day. Therefore, more calories are consumed than can be used, and the surplus becomes part of the fat deposits, causing an increase in weight.
- Catabolism: This type of metabolism occurs when the body begins to spend more energy than it consumes and reserves, causing fat and muscle mass loss. This type of metabolism is characteristic of individuals who execute excessive amounts of physical activity, sleep for a long time, and do not eat properly.
The idea is to balance these two metabolisms to achieve a healthy body and the desired physical appearance. Metabolisms depend on the genetic information and the eating habits of each individual.
There are three types of metabolisms, depending on the elemental diet:
Metabolism type Carbohydrate
- This metabolic type requires a diet low in fat and with few proteins.
- The diet is aimed at consuming vegetables and large amounts of vegetables.
- You can add cereals, which contain a lot of fiber, limit the salt intake, and include the consumption of many fruits.
Protein type metabolism
- It is recommended to limit the consumption of vegetables because of their high carbohydrate content.
- Eat a few vegetables by eating cauliflower, asparagus, celery, spinach, avocados, and green peas.
- Few amounts of cereal, due to a high content of sugars, which will be transformed into glucose, should consume a more significant part of animal protein, meats, and fatty fish.
Mixed type metabolism
- The average metabolism of these two feeding models should consume all kinds of foods recommended for metabolism (carbohydrates and protein) but in small portions.
- The balance must be maintained by drinking 100% balanced meals, including fruits and vegetables.
Characteristics of the metabolic diet
- This diet causes the metabolism to start, and the burning of accumulated fat occurs.
- This diet has a time limit.
- A nutritional plan is established in this metabolic diet, an organized change in the foods you consume daily, with a type of food varied for each day and in precise hours.
- It can burn the fat that the body has stored for a long time by changing eating habits.
- The success of the metabolism diet does not depend on age and is due to the development of a good food plan.
- The diet can be performed by people with varied eating habits, such as vegetarians, vegans, celiacs, and even people who consume large amounts of meat.
Benefits of the metabolic diet
- Maintain a healthy body and an adequate weight.
- Strengthen the bones, the heart, and the muscles of the whole body.
- It encourages exercise daily.
- Provides energy
- Have control of your body.
- It gives your body the energy that stimulates the production of hormones that favor better functioning.

- Motivate and provide a better lifestyle.
Stages of the diet
First phase: Days 1 and 2 are cargo.
In this phase, you can eat and drink everything you want: sausages, ice creams, cakes, bread, and creams.
Second phase: The following 21 days are a personalized diet called the diet phase.
- These days the metabolism attacks the fat deposits and provides energy.
- It is normal to feel weak because the body releases toxins and gets used to a new situation.
- Only the following foods should be consumed: Proteins: two per day (120 gr., two times a day, a maximum of 250 gr./day):
- Meat, fish, chicken breast, low-fat cottage cheese, eggs, tofu, and lupine. Salads and all kinds of vegetables are two small fruits, in the morning and the afternoon.
- Only consume a single type of protein and a single type of fruit.
- Avoid Fat, oil, butter, greasy creams, carbohydrates, sugar (use only stevia), alcohol, and milk.
- The reprogramming of the hypothalamus takes place after approximately 21 days.
- It is not recommended to interrupt the diet during this period.
- After 21 days, the weight is controlled; this should be maintained in the next three weeks, the stabilization phase.
Recommended foods
In this phase, you should consume only:
- Vegetables: Beets, turnips, onions, broccoli, cauliflower, green vegetables, spinach, peas, tomatoes, cucumbers, capers, artichokes, peppers, cabbage, and mushrooms.
- Fruits: Melons, apricots, plums, kiwis, apples, pears, cherries, and grapes, in small quantities.
- Meats: Veal, chicken breast, turkey breast, beef, all lean (120 grams).
- Fish: Sea bream, sea bass, haddock, sea bream, canned tuna. Seafood ranges from squid, mussels, and octopus (120 grams).
- Protein products: Eggs (1), low-fat cottage cheese, low-fat yogurt (120 grams).
You should eat four times a day and drink plenty of water to help accelerate weight loss.
Third phase: This phase lasts 21 days and is called the stabilization phase.
It is a new set point, and this phase is critical. It is a regular diet; calories are no longer reduced. Only the organism is maintained with protein-rich nutrition, and monounsaturated fats are added, such as avocado and olive oil.
You can drink red wine or beer at a low-calorie level.
You should avoid foods with flour, such as bread, cakes, cookies, sugar, processed foods, potatoes, rice, and pasta.
The fourth phase: Is the test phase.
In this phase, processed foods are avoided, and more products are included in the diet.
At first several types of vegetables, then fruits and some types of bread.
Examples of the types of diets.
Carbohydrate Type Diet.
