Energy - diet complex of healthy nutrition for weight loss
The Energy Diet is a nutrition system developed by specialists from France. Unlike the salt-free Japanese diet, it consists of consuming powdered concentrates containing vitamin and mineral complexes, which are supplied in insufficient quantities with foods. The powder just needs to be diluted in milk. The weight loss program is very convenient for people who do not like or do not have time to prepare a diet for themselves.
Energy Diet are produced in France. Products undergo quality control and meet all international standards.
Analysis of the composition[edit | edit code]
Energy Diet products include: soy proteins, dextrose, milk proteins, vegetable oil (soybean oil, dextrose syrup), pea proteins, starch, chicory inulin, maltodextrin. Also included are dyes, stabilizers, preservatives, leavening agents, and flavorings. The composition of additives changes periodically:[13]
- Soy and pea protein are the cheapest sources of protein, and vegetable protein, with the most inferior amino acid composition. Due to their low cost, they are often used to add to cattle feed.
- Milk proteins. Better than soy protein, but the fact that this component is in 3rd place means that there is less of it than soy and dextrose.
- Simple carbohydrates: dextrose/maltodextrin/starch - saccharides also with a very low cost, which are absorbed very quickly, increase insulin levels, and the body, not knowing what to do with so much sugar in the blood, stores it in fat cells. These are the products that should be avoided, and the manufacturer presents them as ingredients for weight loss.
- Chicory inulin: the most useful component of the entire composition. This is nothing more than fiber - a substance that does not dissolve in the gastrointestinal tract, but passes through it, absorbing water like a sponge and increasing several times, cleansing the intestines and improving the microflora. But it contains only 6 grams, which is only one fifth of the daily requirement.
- Vegetable oil (soybean oil) - the same thing can be said about the oil of this plant as about protein - a cheap, accessible raw material. There is nothing in it that would make this oil stand out from ordinary sunflower oil.
Composition per 100 g of product:
- Protein: 37 g
- Carbohydrates: 44 g
- Fat: 9.3 g
- Dietary fiber (fiber): 6.6 g
Total in 450 grams
jar:
- 166 g low quality protein
- 198 g simple carbohydrates (fat on buttocks and sides)
- 42 g fat (also there)
- 30 g fiber
Thus, the cheapest, least useful, raw materials are sold at unimaginably inflated prices. The fact that a mixture of sugar, soy protein and milk powder is sold for such amounts, and people buy it thinking that they are getting an elite product is just crazy, the marketing department is working with a bang, and people don’t even want to read for a minute and think that they actually buy.

Product composition, active substances and how they help you lose weight
The principle of action of Energy Diet (ED) for weight loss is determined by the following components:
- Plant and animal proteins. They are building materials for muscles.
- Fats. Only of plant origin are present. Their source is soybean oil. It contains more than 30 microelements, incl. tocopherol, Omega-6, which reduce the risk of cancer. Fats provide beneficial acids. They are necessary to normalize metabolic processes. There are no animal fats, which are a source of cholesterol.
- Carbohydrates. The source is quickly absorbed glucose. Thanks to it, fatigue goes away and a surge of vigor is felt.
- Coarse fibers. Represented by tree sap and chicory polysaccharide. Thanks to fiber, the feeling of fullness remains until the next meal, and the intestinal microflora is normalized.
- Biologically significant elements, vitamin complexes. Improve metabolism, activate the immune system.
- Barbados cherry. This is a source of vitamin C, which has a positive effect on the immune system and accelerates tissue regeneration.
- Royal milk. This substance is produced by queen bees to feed their offspring. It contains many useful properties. Thanks to milk, oxygen is better absorbed by tissues, and resistance to pathogenic microorganisms is acquired. The substance also improves the psycho-emotional state.
- Enzymes. Cleansed of toxins. Improves the digestibility of various products entering the body.
Each serving contains a balanced balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
The composition of the cocktails is selected in such a way as to fill the daily need for elements.
How the Energy Diet cocktail works
Body shape and weight are influenced by a huge number of factors: the physical and psycho-emotional state of a person, diet, foods consumed, habits and duration of sleep. Have you noticed how members of the same family can look completely opposite, yet eat the same thing?
The point is metabolism, which is affected by all of the above. What do the creators of the cocktail promise?
Firstly, with the help of the enzymes included in the composition, the drug stabilizes the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, which means that the absorption of the stomach walls increases, the process of digesting useful substances becomes easier and faster, and the same metabolism accelerates.
Secondly, the cocktail brings body weight back to normal. Understand that the drink not only helps you lose weight, but it can also help you gain weight if your body needs a little boost.
The body independently manages the substances obtained from the cocktail and directs them in the right direction. The only difference is that when losing weight, taking the drug replaces some meals, and when gaining weight, it is added as an additional snack to the main meals.
That is why it is important to clearly define the scheme according to which you will take the Energy diet.
Manufacturers also promise to normalize and adjust the eating habits and preferences of those losing weight, controlling the frequency of meals, etc.
Energy is incredibly convenient and allows you to have a snack at any time of the day and in any conditions, it is a great time saver - you just need to dilute the powder in a shaker.
How Energy mixtures work
The mixture helps you lose weight by optimizing your calorie intake. At the same time, it contains a sufficient amount of vitamins and minerals. Enzymes help remove toxins, waste and other harmful substances, and coarse fibers, fats and proteins give a feeling of fullness for a long time, which reduces the likelihood of breakdowns. Thanks to the variety of tastes, the products cannot get boring, which also eliminates an unplanned exit from the diet.
Cocktails normalize all metabolic processes, which improves overall health. Thanks to the products, you can change your tastes and continue to adhere to a balanced diet. This reduces the likelihood of re-gaining excess weight. ED is also used for muscle growth during physical training.
