I understand the ** method you shared, which is said to have been proposed by Harvard doctors, to achieve weight loss by adjusting hormones. This method divides the 21 days into seven 3-day phases, each of which resets a hormone through diet.
The first is a three-day period to stop eating red meat, which aims to reset estrogen levels. Too much estrogen can lead to insulin resistance, which can make a person gain weight. During this time, beef, pork, and lamb need to be avoided, as well as abstaining from alcohol.
This is followed by three days of sugar abstinence, which aims to reset insulin levels. Insulin is the hormone that synthesizes fats, and keeping insulin levels low can help. Foods that need to avoid insulin stimulation during this time, I have compiled a list of foods for you to collect for reference.
The third phase is a fructose-free three-day period designed to reset leptin levels. Leptin is a satiety hormone, and when leptin levels are out of balance, people tend to gluttony carbohydrates and snacks. Reducing fructose intake and eating less sweet fruits is the most straightforward solution. In addition, paying attention to the intake of high-quality protein every morning can improve the results.
The fourth phase is three decaf days designed to reset cortisol levels. When we are under stress, drinking coffee produces a lot of cortisol, and excess cortisol can lead to increased blood pressure, higher blood sugar, and lower sleep quality, which can lead to a continuous accumulation of fat. During this time, increase your intake of B vitamins and vitamin C, promote the secretion of natural melatonin, and improve sleep quality.
The fifth stage is three days of resetting thyroid hormones on a gluten-free diet. Wheat bran is a protein found in grains that causes fat accumulation. During this time, foods such as wheat, barley, oats, corn, and starchy luncheon meat need to be avoided. At the same time, attention should be paid to vitamin D supplementation.
The sixth stage is the three-day period of resetting growth hormone by cutting off the intake of dairy products. Growth hormone is often used during feeding in ordinary dairy cows, which leads to increased levels of growth hormone and insulin in those who drink milk, resulting in the accumulation of belly fat. During this time, avoid milk, cheese, cream cake and milk tea, and increase your intake of vegetables and low-sugar fruits.
The final phase is a toxin-free three-day period designed to reset hormone levels. Toxins interfere with hormones, estrogen, thyroid hormones, and hunger hormones, and these hormones interfere with lipolysis and affect metabolism. During this time, avoid all kinds of unnatural makeup, shampoos, shower gels, and nail polishes, avoid canned foods and use plastic products, and increase your mineral intake.
The above is a summary of the core of the Harvard Doctor** method. This method is widely used in clinical weight loss, and combined with traditional Chinese medicine to regulate the constitution, many people's diseases have been controlled, such as fatty liver and three highs (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia) have returned to normal, and at the same time, healthy weight loss has been achieved and there is no **. I hope everyone can have a healthy and light body, and I hope you can benefit from it too. Please note that this is only an introduction to one method, the specific results vary from person to person, if you want to try it, please do it under the guidance of a medical professional.
