Product description

The Islaverde® Very Low-Calorie Ketogenic Diets consist in 13% of carbohydrates, in 25-30% of protein and in 60% of plant fats. Their  extremely low carbohydrate content causes the body to start obtaining energy from burning  its own fatty tissue as early as on the 2nd or 3rd  day of the diet due to the lack of glycogen, which, in turn, is obtained almost exclusively from carbohydrates. In other words, the body enters the state of ketosis, which stabilises its hormonal activity and significantly decreases the feeling of hunger. The body is “learning” how to burn fatty tissue efficiently and it accelerates its metabolic activity, as proven by research less than two decades ago on a large-group of overweight and obese people.

Owing to this mechanism, the OPTIMAL KETOSIS Diet brings surprisingly beneficial weight-loss results – quick reduction of fatty tissue and minimal loss of fat-free mass (FFM), or muscle tissue. The weight loss may be as high as 8  kg or 8-9%  of the body mass from before the diet.

Before purchasing our products you should consult a physician in order to make sure there are no contraindications for applying the diet. Our diets should not be applied during treatment of existing diseases, as well as by pregnant and breastfeeding women.

During the diet – in addition to the proper hydration – it’s advisable to supply the body with natural alkalisers in order to prevent excessive acidification. Moreover, one should make sure to provide the body with adequate rest, as well as with 7 to 8 hours of a restorative, soundly night’s sleep, and to get enough moderate outdoor activities. When the diet has been finished it’s a good idea to fuel the body with high-quality vitamin and mineral preparations, as well as microelements for at least 4 weeks.
