S.D.M. PROTEIN DIET IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE
Overweight and obesity constitute a major risk factor for metabolic diseases such as heart diseases, hypertension, stroke and diabetes, as well as causing aesthetic and psychological distress in social life and interpersonal relationships. Losing weight with traditional diets is often difficult : the weight loss process is very slow and usually it is necessary to weigh all the food options which makes it impossible to follow the diet rules especially when you have meals outside the house.
Often, all these difficulties undermine and delay the hoped results, that's why the diet is discontinued and lost pounds are reacquired. In the 1970 s Prof. Blackburn of Harvard University (U.S.A.) studied and developed a revolutionary nutritional approach that allows rapid weight loss. It is a simple and safe diet because it is based on rigorous scientific bases and followed by scrupulous supervision.
*This diet allows the person to achieve the desired weight quickly, easily and with the confidence to maintain the achieved results over time. In 2014 the Italian Association of Dietetics and Clinical Nutrition (ADI) suggested the "ketogenic diet "in those situations which require a rapid weight loss, since it helps to contain the global health risk and the patient's motivation".

S.D.M. diet allows the use of protein foods and supplements (minerals and vitamins), which have to be combined with vegetables. The normal diet is replaced with a diet based on S.D.M. protein foods. This means that, during meals, predefined portions of protein foods are taken. Their quantity are established by your doctor or nutritionist, according to the ideal weight of the person (usually 3-5 foods per day). S.D.M. protein foods are formulated using high quality raw materials and high biological value proteins. At the same time the very low content of sugars in the products, allows the triggering of ketosis. This fulfills a complete satiety even though the consumed calories are limited.
The principle is simple: the reduced caloric intake of sugars in the diet forces the body to use its fat as an energy source, and the consumption of high biological quality protein in the diet protects the lean body mass (muscles, bones, skin, organs). This leads to substantial weight loss which is determined by the burning of the fat cells that were accumulated through time. Lean mass is preserved while avoiding the loss of tone that can occur during traditional diets.
The low-calories and the normal-protein S.D.M. diet regime is a complete program that assists people during all the treatment phases : from the weight loss up to the food balance.
All these features will allow the person to complete the diet , reaching the set weight goals, improving self-confidence and getting consistent results over time in a safe way.
One of the main reasons of S.D.M. method's success is the medicalization of the Protocol: the need to be followed by a properly trained physician who supports and monitors the person who is undertaking the diet, step by step, which is a real guarantee of success and security for the person's health; all aspects which are totally neglected in "do- it- yourself" diets.
Since its launch, the S.D.M. diet protocol has been undergone by tens of thousands of people with overweight problems or suffering from important obesity always under the guide of medical experts in nutrition.
This diet has the capability to produce beneficial effects in short time; also thanks to the enormous medical support .

Read the storyThe S.D.M. diet is a personalized diet which is built according to the patient's health status, metabolism and weight goals. It is important that the weight loss is checked by a physician in order to give the right support to the body change and adapt the diet according to the response to each. Furthermore, the physiological mechanism of ketosis is based on a metabolic balance that must be properly maintained and controlled by an expert, so that the weight loss can be constant and effective.
In general, the S.D.M. diet solves the problem of weight loss from the root and is done only once. However, there are certain situations (such as in major obesity) where the problem tends to recur after a few years. In these cases, the diet can be prescribed again.
The diet period is established by your doctor or nutritionist when applying to the method (to see how long it takes to reach the ideal weight, go to CALCULATION OF WEIGHT LOSS AND TIMES). Being under medical supervision, there are no special contraindications to be on a diet for long..
It's sure that the quick weight loss affects hypertension, type II diabetes and hyper cholesterol levels positively.
