DIMAGRA® METHOD

HOW THE KETOGENIC DIET WORKS?

The ketogenic diet is a low-calorie diet based on drastically reducing carbohydrates while adjusting the daily consumption of protein and fat. Unlike other slimming diets, the ketogenic diet pushes the body to use its fat reserve as an alternative energy source. As a result, the intake of glucose from carbohydrates in the diet decreases. The reduction in blood sugar levels due to the almost total exclusion of carbohydrates from the diet contributes to lower insulin levels, stimulating fat metabolism and thus the formation of ketone bodies used to produce energy. This leads to a physiological state known as ketosis and, when the diet is correctly balanced, allows for safe weight loss.

WHAT IS THE DIMAGRA® METHOD?

Based on the ketogenic protocol (VLCD), the Dimagra Method is a program developed by our researchers with doctors and nutritionists. It is easy to follow and involves taking food supplements, protein snacks, and replacement meals. It is divided into 3 different phases aimed at losing fat mass while preserving lean mass. After completing the program, it is essential to maintain and consolidate the results by following a balanced diet according to guidelines, favouring quality protein sources and healthy fats and limiting sugar consumption along with a dose of daily physical activity.

HOW LONG IS THE METHOD?

Our ketogenic Dimagra Protein program, with protein powder, has a total duration of 26 days (6 extra + 10 intensive + 10 maintenance).

While the Dimagra Diet program, with pouches, has a duration of 35 days (7 extra + 7 intensive + 21 maintenance).

Once the program is completed, it is necessary to consolidate and maintain the result by following a balanced diet.

ARE CARBOHYDRATES COMPLETELY EXCLUDED?

Carbohydrates are reintroduced in the "Maintenance" phase of the Dimagra protocol. This phase includes a lunch of carbohydrates and vegetables and a dinner of protein foods and vegetables.

CAN IT BE FOLLOWED BY EVERYONE?

The first two steps of ketosis are not recommended in cases of:

- Kidney and liver disease

- Type I Diabetes (insulin-dependent)

- Ongoing neoplasms

- Pregnancy and breastfeeding

- Under 14 and over 70 years of age

- Psychiatric disorders

- Severe heart disease

WHAT ARE THE METHOD'S PLUSES?

Reducing the intake of carbohydrates involves the physiological state of ketosis. Due to the right intake of protein and supplements, which help maintain the correct state of ketosis, our body reacts by converting fats into energy. It is precisely thanks to the correct protein intake that the Dimagra protocol makes it possible to lose fat mass while safely and effectively preserving muscle mass.

WHAT IS THE TYPICAL DIET?

The Dimagra Diet program includes 3 steps:

EXTRA (7 days): involves taking food supplements at main meals, accompanied by vegetables at lunch and dinner. An alkalinizer and a draining product are combined.

INTENSIVE (7 days): includes the reintroduction of protein foods at dinner and vegetables at lunch, with a pouch for both lunch and dinner. Also in this step the alkalinizer and draining product are combined.

MAINTENANCE (21 days ): Proteins are taken only at breakfast. As for the two remaining meals, carbohydrates and vegetables are reintroduced for lunch, and protein foods and vegetables at dinner. The draining product remains.
