Allevo is a type of powder diet - a method of losing weight that involves replacing traditional meals with ready-made, well-balanced dishes with very low calories (VLCD), causing a rapid loss of kilograms. However, the question arises whether such a sudden weight loss will not be paid for by the yo-yo effect. We checked what Allevo meals consist of and how to use them to lose weight effectively.

The mental need to lose weight can be so strong that we want to get rid of unwanted kilos at all costs.Allevo ,CambridgeiDietaLightthese are just some of thepowdered diets.

Losing weight is important and necessary, but it's a good idea to check with your dietitian first. If you are seriously overweight, you should do the appropriate research to find out why you are putting on weight, and then choose the best diet.

Powder diet - what is it?

Powder diets are intended mainly for overweight people who dream of losing weight a few kilograms a day. They consist of ready-made, powdered mixtures that are dissolved in water. Depending on the type of diet, 3 to 5 ready-made cocktails and soups are eaten daily. The mixtures are composed in such a way that they contain the necessary nutritional values ​​for the body (proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, fiber, vitamins in the right proportions), and at the same time they are low in calories (300-600 kcal for a daily diet). With such a low calorific value, you lose weight very quickly. Why is this happening? The body is not supplied with sufficient amounts of energy and must use the reserves stored in fat.

Losing weight with the powder diet consists in strict adherence to the diet. In the first phase of the Allevo system, which lasts up to 2 weeks, nothing is eaten except mixes. For your own good, you need to be careful and stay under the care of a doctor who will monitor your he alth throughout the slimming cycle.

What is slimming with Allevo?

The Allevo Dietproposes 3 phases of weight loss. The first cycle is to introduce the body to a new diet, the second one stimulates it to lose weight, and the third helps to stabilize the effects. Allevo producers emphasize that this diet is not just aboutreplacing conventional meals with VLCDs, and initiating the entire process of changing eating habits. To lose weight effectively it is necessary to follow the rules of he althy eating, that is: eating 5 meals a day at regular intervals, proper balance of meals (each should consist of 1/4 of protein, 1/4 of carbohydrates, 1/2 of vegetables and fruit), drinking at least 1.5 liters of water or other low-calorie fluids daily. Regular physical effort is also extremely important.

Three phases in the Allevo diet

1. Start phase

Takes a maximum of two weeks. It consists in 100% conversion of meals to Allevo products (easy-to-prepare soups and cocktails). The daily allowance is replaced by 5 Allevo bags for women and 6 bags for men.

2. Weight loss phase

At this stage, a diet is established especially for you. Thanks to it, you do not have to give up eating completely. You eat 2-3 meals a day and supplement your diet with 2-3 Allevo portions. The meals should be small. In this phase, you should also remember about daily physical exertion.

3. Stabilization phase

The menu is based on normal products, but the daily diet can be supplemented with Allevo sachets from time to time, especially when it is not possible to eat a properly balanced meal, or eat only Allevo products once a week. You should also remember about exercises.

I don't think powder diets are bad. Like any other type of diet, they have their pros and cons. But I would not recommend the Allevo diet to my patients due to the ammonium molybdate (toxic effect) and sodium selenite (insecticide). However, I don't think this diet is bad. On the contrary. The effects of people using them are the same as with other diets. As long as you do, it works.

Allevo - myth or hit?

People who strictly adhere to the principles of he althy eating criticize the menu composed on the basis of a powdered diet instead of normal meals, but it should be remembered that products of this type are available as foods for special nutritional uses. In Poland, the Allévo diet has been approved on the basis of a notification at the Chief Sanitary Inspectorate and meets all standardssafety for the consumer. In a situation where high overweight or obesity threatens our he alth, and other methods of losing weight do not work, powder diets are a good solution.

How much does the Allevo diet cost?

The Allevo bar costs from PLN 7, a mix pack of soups around PLN 25, a packet of cocktails over PLN 20. Weekly it is about 190 PLN, monthly almost 760 PLN. If you bought vegetables (leeks, broccoli and potatoes for soups) and fruit (bananas and raspberries) for the same amount, it would be enough for a large family.
