Chemical diet Osama Hamdiy

18 November 2023

The vast majority of weight loss methods involve reducing the total calorie intake of the diet. Using this approach is necessary for the body to begin using long-accumulated fat reserves for energy. But this dietary postulate also has significant drawbacks: stress on the body created by a feeling of constant hunger and significant disruptions in the activity of some internal organs. Almost the only exception is the diet developed by specialist Osama Hamdiy. Another name for this weight loss system is chemical diet.

A bit of history

The author of this method of figure correction, Osama Hamdiy, is an American doctor. He initially created his nutritional system for obese diabetics. The author's diet was based on the reprogramming of metabolic processes, which allowed endocrine patients to say goodbye to extra pounds.

According to the results of clinical studies, when using this method, owners of impressive dimensions with a body weight of 100 to 150 kg lost weight by a third. Furthermore, thanks to the practice of this nutritional system, their blood sugar levels decreased and their overall well-being improved. The weight loss program for diabetics is called "Why Wait". Over the years, it has been improved thanks to the efforts of Dr. Hamdiy and his colleagues.

This is how a chemical diet appeared, which today is actively and, most importantly, successfully used by obese people around the world.

The essence and principle of operation of the energy system

Osama Hamdiy's weight loss method is very unique. He is able to save any person from obesity, even in an advanced stage, i. e. II and III degree of severity. This effect of the chemical diet is explained by the fact that when forming its diet, the emphasis is placed on proteins and special combinations of products that serve as a trigger for the activation of metabolic reactions in the body necessary for the breakdown of deposits of fat.

The effect of weight loss is also achieved by reducing the calorie content of the food consumed, but this principle is not yet the main one. In addition, the menu includes a minimal amount of carbohydrates. As a result of all these disorders to which the diet is subjected, weight loss occurs due to the reduction of fat deposits and not muscle mass, as often happens with other nutrition systems.

Rules of the chemical diet

Chicken eggs play the role of the main product in the dietary menu. They have a unique balanced composition and have a fairly low energy value, so they are ideal for weight loss. Furthermore, the egg is completely absorbed by the body and provides a lasting feeling of satiety.
Other types of protein suitable for consumption on a chemical diet are low-fat varieties of fish and meat (with the exception of lamb), cottage cheese and hard cheese with a low percentage of milk fat.
Citrus fruits, mainly grapefruit and orange, are of great importance for losing weight according to the Osama Hamdiy system. It is recommended to consume them together, which helps to accelerate energy metabolism and metabolism in general.
Also included in the list of foods allowed on a chemical diet are most fruits and vegetables, wholemeal treats, and bran bread; black, herbal and green teas; natural mineral water, natural coffee.
A sufficient number of types of food are prohibited: potatoes, sugar and all types of sweets, any fat (both plant and animal origin); almost all flour products, alcoholic beverages. From fruits, you should not eat grapes, bananas, figs, dates and raisins. The absolute majority of fermented milk products and drinks, as well as milk itself, are subject to the strictest taboos.
You should drink at least 1 liter of clean table water per day. It is recommended to absorb liquids between meals and not during the meal itself.
It is necessary to salt food in moderation. In general, the less, the better. And this should be done immediately before serving the dietary dish.
Food can be steamed, grilled, baked and stewed. Oil, aromatic herbs and spices cannot be added to foods.
Every morning you must weigh yourself and record your body weight. But this manipulation must be carried out exactly after bowel movement.
You should eat until you feel full. It is forbidden to eat too much!
The optimal period for following a chemical diet is seven days, so it is better to start losing weight on Monday.
You can stick to this weight loss method for up to 1 month.
If you feel a strong feeling of hunger in the intervals between meals, it is allowed to allow yourself small snacks in the form of fresh cucumber or tomato, preferably without salt.
The last meal should occur no later than two hours before going to bed. In this case, the food will have time to be fully digested, and the resulting calories will not be able to turn into fat deposits on the body.
If for some reason you cannot follow the method, for example, you missed a day of the diet, you should start the weight loss course from the beginning.

Pros and cons of a chemical diet

Osama Hamdiy's weight loss system has many undoubted advantages. These include:

high efficiency of the method;

Of course, the Hamdiy energy system also has disadvantages. And, it's worth noting, there are many:

increased load on the kidneys due to the prevalence of proteins in the diet;
the need for strict adherence to all dietary requirements;
lack of carbohydrates and fats in the diet;
high probability of general weakness, fatigue, dizziness and even bad mood;

Pregnant and breastfeeding women will have to abandon the idea of following Osama Hamdiy's method. If you suffer from cardiovascular diseases, including severe hypertension and atherosclerosis, a preliminary consultation with a doctor is necessary.
