Egg diet (chemical): detailed menu for 4 weeks in the tables

The diet is based on an understanding of the chemical reactions of the body, and is also designed to consume a large number of eggs, for which it is called “chemical” or “egg”. And because of the abundance of citruses on the menu, it is considered "orange."

The body creates conditions under which it begins to receive energy from its own fat reserves, and not from food. That is why the chemical diet of Osama Hamdy is suitable primarily for people who have a lot of these reserves. If you need to lose three kilograms, it is better to pay attention to other methods.

Pros of the technique

The main principle of the diet: reduce the amount of carbohydrates in the diet (especially simple ones) and increase the amount of protein. This means that if you add physical activity to the adjusted nutrition, the figure will not look skinny, and the skin saggy: “building material” is enough to build a beautiful muscle relief.

In addition, you do not need to independently calculate the BJU and calories. The power scheme is clearly painted and eliminates self-will: it is forbidden to replace one product with another or change the order of their intake.
The method is equally effective for men and women. In addition, in a month the body will break the habit of sweets and other excesses, and the result of weight loss is preserved for a long time.

Cons and contraindications

There are also disadvantages to the methodology. Some of them are traditional for a low-carb and high-protein diet.

• Weakness and irritability. These are the usual companions of losing weight, excluding fats and sugar from their menu.
• Breakfast monotony. For some, this can be a problem, but you cannot make your own adjustments to this item.
• The absence of a "break". If you don’t hold back on one day and treat yourself to a prohibited product or confuse the menu of the day, you will have to start the whole scheme from the very beginning.

We paint the diet every day

The diet is designed for 28 days. The first week is the most difficult. The body will need to rebuild and break the habit of fast carbohydrates. How to eat during this period, the table will tell.

Table - Menu 1 to 7 days

It is better to start a diet from Monday. But if there is a fear of losing motivation, join the program immediately, just follow the strict order of the menu every day. In the second week, the food will be as in the following table.

Table - Menu from 8 to 14 days

You can’t starve! Otherwise, the body will consider the diet a threatening factor and begin to make reserves, instead of burning them. The third week menu is shown in the table.

Table - Menu from 15 to 21 days

Recipes can be prepared independently, based on general recommendations. Plan three or more meals. The menu of the fourth week is shown in the table.

Table - Menu from day 22 to day 28

Curd and quick options

With allergies or intolerance to eggs, they can be replaced with low-fat cottage cheese. The curd chemical diet in this case will almost completely coincide with the egg. Only one adjustment will be required: consume 200 g of cottage cheese instead of two chicken eggs.

Those who are not able to withstand a whole month of restrictions can try the express version of the diet. That is, observe a diet only in the first and second weeks. In this case, you should not expect big plumb lines, but the result will still be.
