Several diets I found on Internet recommend to skip a breakfast,
or have only a cup of coffee, or coffee and a water cracker, or
just a toast in the morning. For dinner, they recommend milk
products, steak, eggs, or some red meat. Have something light
before we begin our daily activities, and stuff yourself with
calories rich food before going to bed.
For example, The Metabolism Diet on this page says:
http://www.idiet4u.com/diets/metabolismdiet.html
Breakfast: black coffee or tea with 1-2 packets of Sweet &
Low or equal. For dinner it recommends vegetables + ham,
or yogurt and cheese mozzarella. Even hardboiled eggs ! Are they
crazy ?
Or, take this as an example, so called "Russian Air Force Diet"
here http://www.idiet4u.com/diets/1goodmealdiet.html
it says: "Those Russians were lean, mean fighting machines...
here's how they kept in shape."
First of all, all soldiers have prescribed physical exercise as
a part of their day, but, six days in a week only coffee and
saltines in the morning ? And, for the dinner eat eggs, ham, red
meat or yogurt, vegetables only four evenings in a week. How in
heaven such a diet can keep them in shape ? I may understand
such a diet if the pilots were notoriously anorexic. However,
the diet opposes all I ever read in books about keeping in shape
and healthy metabolism. I hardly believe this diet was ever
prescribed to the actual air forces.
Is there any science in this metabolism diet ? Can we get in
shape by eating something very light for a breakfast, or
skipping breakfast completely, and eating eggs and animal fats
for dinner ? If not, who is writting those weird diets and
posting them on Internet, in what purpose ?
