In the modern world, the problem of obesity and excess weight is becoming more global every day.
People began to move a lot, and calorie consumption increased significantly. And if earlier, in order to get a piece of meat, a person fought with wild nature, now it is enough to call the phone and food will be delivered right to your door.
And not just any meat, but processed industrial food.
The diet, which is based on these products, boasts its exquisite taste, but not its benefits.
Often, consumption of processed food leads to problems with excess weight, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and cardiovascular system, diabetes and other metabolic ailments.
Advantages and disadvantages
The white diet is effective due to the consumption of predominantly protein foods, the absorption of which the body spends a lot of energy, thereby starting the process of fat burning. The main advantages of a diet based on white foods are:
- strengthening the skeletal system and muscle tissue;
- weight loss by 3-5 kg within a week;
- improvement of intestinal microflora, normalization of the digestive process;
- acceleration of metabolism;
- cleansing the body of toxins, waste, poisons, pesticides and other harmful substances;
- improving the condition of the skin (increasing its elasticity, firmness, starting the processes of rejuvenation and renewal of skin cells).
Quick and relatively comfortable weight loss, however, also has disadvantages. The disadvantages of a white power system include:
- possible problems with the gastrointestinal tract (flatulence, constipation);
- deficiency of vitamins, microelements, minerals;
- oversaturation of the body with calcium, as a result of which toxins can be deposited and the absorption of protein foods can be disrupted;
- The technique is contraindicated for use in people with gastritis, stomach ulcers, and other pathologies of the digestive tract.
Rice
We are talking about white rice. Consuming this product more than four times a week increases the risk of diabetes by 20%. In addition, white rice has nothing useful in its composition other than a quick source of carbohydrates, and therefore it can be equated to sugar.
However, it is worth noting that there is a healthier option - brown rice, which, unlike white rice, retains nutrients and fiber. This is because this type of rice is not processed in any way at the factory, that is, manufacturers do not strip it of its shell.
Rules
A protein diet is more suitable for meat-eaters with an active lifestyle - athletes, bodybuilders, men whose work involves heavy physical labor. In combination with exercise, the white nutrition system increases or maintains muscle mass by breaking down fat deposits . The diet is allowed even for women who have given birth, but should not last longer than 7 days. Mandatory rules of the white weight loss method:
- sour and citrus fruits are prohibited;
- fermented milk and dairy products should not have a fat content higher than 4%;
- 15 minutes before a meal, you should drink a glass of still mineral water to start your metabolism and reduce the amount of food you eat, dulling hunger;
- Sugar and salt should be completely excluded from the diet;
- It is recommended to drink at least 1.5-2 liters of water per day;
- the total daily number of calories should be less than 1200;
- during the diet, you should follow split meals (the optimal number of meals is 5-6), while dinner should end 3 hours before bedtime;
- during weight loss, it is recommended to take an additional vitamin-mineral complex;
- to improve the results of the white diet, you should exercise;
- It is important to stick to your diet (eat at the same time every day).
How are these products made?
Let's take sugar for example. The manufacturer takes as a basis a whole and healthy source of nutrition - beets.
Using heat treatment and grinding, the output is small white crystals, devoid of all the beneficial properties and vitamins that are present in the original product. Exactly the same system with other products. Taking a whole product as a basis, the manufacturer removes everything useful from it: vitamins, minerals, fiber.
In this regard, let's find out which 5 industrial white foods are highly recommended to exclude (or reduce) from your diet:
Permitted and prohibited products
The white diet for weight loss is not balanced, and therefore requires additional intake of vitamins and microelements. The following products are suitable for the dietary food system:
| Product type | What can you eat |
| Grocery | Boiled rice, oatmeal, white beans. |
| Fish | White varieties (blue whiting, hake, pollock, flounder). |
| Dairy and fermented milk products | Cheese, low-fat cottage cheese, yogurt, kefir. |
| Meat | Chicken breast. |
| Beverages | Green tea, still water, white wine. |

To saturate the diet with fiber, natural sugar and vitamins, a small amount of berries and fruits can be added to the listed products. Occasionally allowed use:
- bananas;
- peaches;
- white currant;
- apricots;
- pears;
- green apples;
- white grapes (raisins).
Maintaining a drinking regime is extremely important. It is recommended to drink clean water, unsweetened green tea, sugar-free compote, natural grape juice (from white varieties) . Prohibited foods during the diet are the following:

How strictly should you follow the white diet?
As much as possible with a diet. For example, in order for the effect to last for a long time, when on a white diet, you should avoid foods with coloring pigments for 2 to 3 weeks after the procedure.
Also, as part of the white diet, experts advise gradually introducing useful habits: partially or completely giving up red wine, coffee or black tea, drinking colored drinks through a straw, replacing the same tea with kefir or milk.
Remember! Pigment substances are not harmful to healthy tooth enamel, but in the presence of inevitable microdamages after bleaching, dyes can penetrate deep into it and stain it.
The most important thing in the white diet is to pay attention to the color of the foods. The diet has no strict restrictions on the quantity or variety of food products.

Before breakfast, it is advisable to drink a glass of water, and half an hour later eat oatmeal with fruit or low-fat cottage cheese. For lunch, the ideal option would be low-fat soups, baked or steamed fish, and lean meat. Vegetables are allowed in any form - raw, stewed, boiled, etc.
It is better to avoid eating potatoes for the first few weeks, as they contain a lot of starch. Gradually begin to introduce familiar foods into the menu, but continue to eat in small portions 4-6 times a day - this will greatly ease the work of the stomach. Be sure to exercise at least three times a week, then the effect of losing weight will last for a long time and your health will be excellent.
What happens if you break the rule of the white diet?
Nothing catastrophic, but the effect of teeth whitening will no longer be the most ideal. Firstly, a thin film of pigment deposits will do its job - the color will darken. Secondly, if the diet requirements are violated, the very shine and sparkle of the enamel will disappear, for which many patients love whitening so much. Thirdly, the patient himself will see the difference in his teeth, and he will be offended that, for the sake of a moment of weakness or inattention, he ruined the aesthetics of a perfect smile. There is also a risk of tooth decay or inflammatory gum disease.

Stay up to date! It is necessary to take proper care of the oral cavity.
Hygiene procedures include :
- Brushing your teeth twice a day for at least three to five minutes. The brush should be of medium hardness, and the teeth cleaning itself should be intensive. If you eat food from the prohibited list, you must brush your teeth immediately after eating.
- Use mouthwash after every meal and brushing your teeth.
