Benefit and harm

Buckwheat is one of the main ingredients of most diets due to its harmonious biochemical composition and energy nutrition.

• proteins - 12.6 g;
• carbohydrates - 57.1 g;
• fats - 3.3 g;
• dietary fiber - 11.3 g;
• water - 14 g;
• ash - 1.7 g.

Buckwheat contains a number of micro and macro elements, vitamins B, E, H, K, PP, niacin, A. In addition, the product is rich in interchangeable, irreplaceable, mono- and polyunsaturated acids. And plant proteins in its composition are similar in their characteristics to animals.

• fat burning stimulation;
• reduced manifestations of swelling;
• improvement of the motor function of the digestive tract;
• vascular strengthening;

• strengthening and increasing the tone of the skin.

However, the product in question, like many others, has a number of contraindications. And if improperly introduced into the diet (non-compliance with the regime and daily intake) can cause harm to the body.

Did you know? In winter, weight loss is faster because the body accelerates metabolic processes in order to generate heat for the body.

Separately, it is worth considering the side effects that can occur with mono-dietary food by one buckwheat even in completely healthy people. Most often there is increased fatigue, nervous irritability, dizziness, apathy, inability to concentrate on one thing and quickly switch attention.

All these are signs of a drop in blood sugar. The ideal option to help avoid unpleasant symptoms is to enter the diet gradually. This means that over about two weeks you will have to reduce the amount of sweet, familiar to a particular person.

And only when the consumption of sugar-containing products is minimized, you can start a mono-diet. If manifestations of a decrease in sugar still occurred during the diet, then you can correct the situation by adding sweet tea to the diet. But sugar should be included in a volume of not more than 1 hour per 100 ml of liquid. You can replace it with honey in the same amount.

Another unpleasant symptom that can occur when losing weight on buckwheat is manifested in the form of a rash on the body, accompanied by itching and peeling of the skin. This indicates an overabundance of proteins, which in this product contains quite a lot. In this case, it is better to completely abandon the mono-diet and choose foods that contain long carbohydrates, vitamins and calcium.

Important! Children and adolescents should not be prescribed a mono-diet. A fragile body will suffer from a lack of vitamins and minerals, which will negatively affect the growth and performance of the endocrine system.

Buckwheat contraindications for the night
